consents, authorizations and filings are in full force and effect, and each such consent, authorization and filing shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (ii) stating that no such consents, authorizations or filings are so required; and

3.3    Procedure for the Issuance and Amendments of Letters of Credit.
(a)    Procedure for the Issuance of Letters of Credit. Each Borrower may from time to time request the issuance of an Acquisition Facility Letter of Credit from an Acquisition Facility Issuing Lender, a Dollar Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit from a Dollar Working Capital Facility Issuing Lender or a Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit from a Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Issuing Lender by delivering to the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent (in the case of Letters of Credit to be denominated in United States Dollars) or the Canadian Agent (in the case of Letters of Credit to be denominated in Canadian Dollars) a Letter of Credit Request, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request (consistent with requests made by such Issuing Lender from other similarly situated account parties). Such Letter of Credit Request shall specify:
(i)    whether the Letter of Credit requested is to be an Acquisition Facility Letter of Credit, a Dollar Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit;
(ii)    the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit and the account party therefor;
(iii)    in the case of a Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars;
(iv)    in the case of a Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit, if such Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit, a Long Tenor Letter of Credit and/or a Trade Letter of Credit;









(v)    in the case of an Acquisition Facility Letter of Credit, if such Letter of Credit is to be an Acquisition Facility Acquisition Extension of Credit, an Acquisition Facility Working Capital Extension of Credit or an Acquisition Facility Maintenance Cap-Ex Extension of Credit;

(x)    the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in the case of a drawing or demand for payment thereunder; and
(xi)    the delivery instructions for such Letter of Credit.
If requested by the Issuing Lender, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  To the extent that any material provision of any such application is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3 or adds events of default, grants of security, or remedies not already contained in the Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 3 and this Agreement shall apply and such provision shall not be given effect.
(b)    Procedure for Amendments of Letters of Credit. The applicable Borrower may from time to time request an amendment (including any extension) to any outstanding Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in United States Dollars) or the Canadian Agent (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) a Letter of Credit Request which shall specify:
(i)    the Letter of Credit to be amended;
(ii)    the requested date of the proposed amendment;
(iii)    the nature of the proposed amendment; and
(iv)    the delivery instructions for such amendment.

A Letter of Credit Request must be received by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued or amended, or such other time as previously agreed between the Issuing Lender thereof and the U.S. Borrower. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and the Acquisition Facility Lenders, the Dollar Working Capital Facility Lenders or the Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Lenders, as applicable, shall be entitled to assume that the Letter of Credit Request and certificates, documents and other papers and information reasonably requested by the Issuing Lender in connection therewith were completed and delivered to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender.
(d)    Validation Procedure. Upon receipt of a Letter of Credit Request by an Issuing Lender, such Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable 









(by telephone and in writing), that such Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request and, if not, such Issuing Lender will provide such Agent, with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such Issuing Lender of confirmation from the applicable Agent that the requested Letter of Credit or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, such Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices.
3.4    General Terms of Letters of Credit.  (a)  Each Acquisition Facility Letter of Credit and each Dollar Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit is to be denominated only in United States Dollars. Each Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit is to be denominated only in United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars (as the applicable Borrower shall notify the applicable Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 3.3(a)).
(b)    Each Letter of Credit shall, subject to Section 3.4(c), expire no later than ninety (90) days after the date of issuance (or extension), unless such Letter of Credit is, subject to the Dollar Long Tenor Letter of Credit Sub-Limit (with respect to a Dollar Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit) or the Multicurrency Long Tenor Letter of Credit Sub-Limit (with respect to a Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit), a Long Tenor Letter of Credit, or, subject to the Dollar Performance Letter of Credit Sub-Limit (with respect to a Dollar Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit) or the Multicurrency Performance Letter of Credit Sub-Limit (with respect to a Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Letter of Credit), a Performance Letter of Credit, in which case, such Letter of Credit shall expire no later than the earlier of three hundred sixty-four (364) days after the date of issuance and the Termination Date applicable thereto; provided that (i) at any time, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit issued with an expiration date after the Termination Date applicable thereto shall not exceed $300,000,000; (ii) all Letters of Credit with an expiration date after the Termination Date applicable thereto shall be returned and cancelled (with the beneficiary’s consent) or Cash Collateralized at least 15 Business Days prior to the Termination Date applicable thereto and (iii) no such Letter of Credit may be issued with an expiration date after the date that is six months after the Termination Date applicable thereto.
(c)    Upon request by any Borrower in the applicable Letter of Credit Request, the relevant Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise agreed upon by the applicable Issuing Lender at its sole discretion, the applicable Borrower shall make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit, such prior notice to be delivered to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination date of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit (the date of the delivery of such notice, the “Renewal Notice Date”); provided that, unless otherwise agreed upon by the applicable Issuing Lender at its sole discretion, the applicable Borrower shall provide to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in United States Dollars) or Canadian Agent (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars), written notice of its intent to not renew such an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination date of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit (the date of the delivery of such notice, the “Non-Renewal Notice Date”). Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued (or is permitted to be outstanding hereunder in the case of an outstanding Letter of Credit that is an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit), the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but the Lenders may not require) such Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than six (6) months after the Termination Date; provided, 









however, that no Issuing Lender shall permit any renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 3.4 or 6.2 or otherwise), (B) after giving effect to any such renewal, the earlier of the (x) expiration date of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit and (y) the next occurring Non-Renewal Notice Date of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit would occur after the date that is six (6) months after the Termination Date, or (C) it has received notice in writing on or before the date that is two (2) Business Days before the Renewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, any Lender or the applicable Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.4 or 6.2 is not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to permit the renewal of any Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit at any time if any of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied.
(d)    If any Issuing Lender (other than JPMorgan Chase Bank or an Affiliate thereof) shall issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit without obtaining prior consent of the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable (as provided in Section 3.3(d)), or if any Issuing Lender (other than, in the case of clause (i) below, JPMorgan Chase Bank or an Affiliate thereof) shall permit the extension or renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit (i) without giving timely prior notice to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, or (ii) when such extension or renewal is not permitted hereunder (as provided in sub-section (c) above), such Letter of Credit (A) shall for all purposes be deemed to have been issued by such Issuing Lender solely for its own account and risk and (B) shall not be considered a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement, and no Lender shall be deemed to have any participation therein, effective as of the date of such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal, as the case may be, unless the Required Lenders expressly consent thereto; provided, however, that to be considered a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement, the consent of all Lenders shall be required to the extent that any such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal is not then permitted hereunder by reason of the provisions of this Section 3.4.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Issuing Lender is under no obligation to issue or provide any Letter of Credit (including any renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit) or renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless consented to by such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, if:
(i)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing, renewing, extending or amending such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance, renewal, extension or amending of a Letter of Credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (in the case of an amendment of a Letter of Credit, for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Effective Date and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it; or









(ii)    such Letter of Credit or the requested amendment is not in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender thereof or the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall violate any applicable policies of such Issuing Lender.
(f)    Within one (1) Business Day after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender thereof will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Agent), a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(g)    Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the International Standby Practices (“ISP 98”) International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 or Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits No. 600 (“UCP 600”), as applicable, and to the extent not inconsistent with ISP 98 or UCP 600, the Laws of the State of New York.
3.5    Fees, Commissions and Other Charges.
(a)    Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of amounts expressed in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Agent), for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender and the Acquisition Facility L/C Participants, Dollar Working Capital Facility L/C Participants or Multicurrency Working Capital Facility L/C Participants, as applicable, a letter of credit commission, with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to the Applicable L/C Fee Rate times the average daily maximum amount of such Letter of Credit (expressed as United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable); provided that such letter of credit commission shall not be in an amount less than $500 or C$500, as applicable, for the period during which such Letter of Credit is outstanding, and, in each case, such commission shall be payable to the Acquisition Facility L/C Participants, Dollar Working Capital Facility L/C Participants or Multicurrency Working Capital Facility L/C Participants, as applicable, and the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit to be shared ratably among them in accordance with the average daily amount of their respective Acquisition Facility Commitment Percentages, Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitment Percentages and Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Commitment Percentages. Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date.

Such fee shall be nonrefundable and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date.
(c)    Other Charges.

(d)    Distribution of Fees. The Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall, within two (2) Business Days following its receipt thereof, distribute to the relevant 









Issuing Lenders and the L/C Participants all fees and commissions received by such Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this Section 3.5.
3.6    L/C Participations.  (a)  Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Relevant L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Relevant L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Relevant L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Relevant Letter of Credit issued or provided by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amounts paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder equal to such Relevant L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage.
(b)    Each L/C Participant’s obligation to accept and purchase for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided participation interest in an Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued or provided by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amounts paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage thereof shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, any Borrower, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(c)    The obligations of the L/C Participants to purchase participations in the obligations of the Issuing Lenders under outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.6 shall survive the Termination Date with respect to Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 3.4(b) until the earliest of (i) the expiration date for such Letters of Credit and all drawings thereunder having been repaid in full, (ii) the date the entire amount available under such Letters of Credit is drawn and such drawings are repaid and no further drawings are permitted under such Letters of Credit, and (iii) the date that is six (6) months after the Termination Date applicable to such Letters of Credit; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.6(c), with respect to any Letter of Credit having an expiration date following the Termination Date applicable thereto (such a Letter of Credit, a “Post-Termination LOC”), in no event shall the obligations of the L/C Participants to purchase participations in the obligations of an Issuing Lender under a Post-Termination LOC pursuant to Section 3.6(a) expire or terminate prior to the Business Day following the expiration, cancellation or termination of the last remaining outstanding Post-Termination LOC and the payment in full of all drawings, if any, thereunder.
(d)    If for any reason any Unreimbursed Amount cannot be refinanced by an L/C Reimbursement Loan in accordance with Section 3.7(c), each Relevant L/C Participant shall, on or before the deadline for such Relevant Facility Loan to have been made, pay to the Administrative Agent (or in the case of Unreimbursed Amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Agent) for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender in immediately available funds such Relevant L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of such Unreimbursed Amount, and upon receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent (or Canadian Agent, if applicable) shall promptly distribute such funds to the applicable Issuing Lender in like funds received.









(e)    If any L/C Participant fails to timely pay to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage of any Unreimbursed Amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.6(d), such overdue amounts shall bear interest payable by such L/C Participant at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans (in the case of Unreimbursed Amounts denominated in United States Dollars) or Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Unreimbursed Amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars) under the applicable Facility until such overdue amounts are paid in full.
(f)    Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has received from any Relevant L/C Participant its Commitment Percentage of any Unreimbursed Amount, such Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender shall distribute to such Relevant L/C Participant its Commitment Percentage of such payments; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such Relevant L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it in like funds received.
3.7    Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers.  (a)  Upon receipt by the relevant Issuing Lender from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing or demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower that requested such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Agent) thereof. If such Borrower receives notice (confirmed by telephone) from such Issuing Lender of a drawing or demand for payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Business Day, such Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on such Business Day for the Unreimbursed Amount of such Letter of Credit. If such Borrower receives notice (confirmed by telephone) from such Issuing Lender of a drawing or demand for payment under a Letter of Credit at or after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Business Day, such Borrower shall so reimburse such Issuing Lender on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day upon which such notice was received by such Borrower. Such reimbursement shall be made directly to such Issuing Lender in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was drawn in an amount equal to (i) the amount so paid and (ii) any Non-Excluded Taxes and any reasonable fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender at its Applicable Lending Office in immediately available funds (such amount that has not been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower being, the “Unreimbursed Amount”).
(b)    If the applicable Borrower fails to fully reimburse any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.7(a) at the time and on the due date specified in such Section (the “Reimbursement Date”), such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent or (with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) the Canadian Agent (with a copy to the applicable Borrower), which notice shall be provided on a Business Day, and specify in such notice the amount (and currency) of the Unreimbursed Amount. Immediately upon receipt of such notice from such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall notify each Relevant L/C Participant of the Reimbursement Date, the Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount (and currency) of such Relevant L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage thereof.
(c)    If there shall be any Unreimbursed Amounts owing to any Issuing Lender on or after such Unreimbursed Amounts were due pursuant to Section 3.7(a), the relevant Issuing Lender may request on behalf of the applicable Borrower (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes such 









Issuing Lender to act on its behalf solely in this regard), that each Relevant Facility Lender make a Relevant Facility Loan (which initially shall be a Base Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in United States Dollars) or a Prime Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars)) in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was drawn and in an amount equal to such Relevant Facility Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of such Unreimbursed Amount (an “L/C Reimbursement Loan”). In accordance with Section 2.5(c), unless any of the conditions contained in Section 6.2 shall not have been satisfied or waived (in which event the procedures set forth in Section 3.6 shall apply), each Relevant Facility Lender shall make the proceeds of its Relevant Facility Loan available to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Agent) prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such request is made. The proceeds of such Relevant Facility Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the applicable Issuing Lender.
(d)    With respect to Unreimbursed Amounts that are not paid on the date due, interest shall be payable on any and all Unreimbursed Amounts from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) until payment in full (either in cash or upon the making of a Relevant Facility Loan) at the applicable rate which would be payable on any outstanding Relevant Facility Loans that were Base Rate Loans or (with respect to Unreimbursed Amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars) Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, which were then overdue.
3.8    Obligations Absolute.  (a)  The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lenders, nor any of their Related Persons, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any 









notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
3.9    Role of the Issuing Lenders.  (a)      The responsibility of any Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of any Borrower shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered by or on behalf of the beneficiary under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. In addition, each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing or demand for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit shall not have any responsibility to inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document presented in connection with such drawing or demand for payment or the authority of the Person executing or delivering the same.
(b)    No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith in respect of any Letter of Credit at the request or with the approval or deemed approved of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in respect of any Letter of Credit in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any document delivered in connection with the issuance or payment of such Letter of Credit.
(c)    The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against such beneficiary or transferee. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lenders shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.8; provided, however, that anything in such Section or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Borrower may have a claim against any Issuing Lender and such Issuing Lender may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proved were caused (x) by such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (y) as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Issuing Lender with respect to the payment by such Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit against presentation of any document or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) any Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
3.10    Letter of Credit Request. To the extent that any material provision of any Letter of Credit Request related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

(a)      The U.S. Borrower shall have the right, from time to time, upon not less than four (4) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitments, the Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Commitments and/or the Acquisition Facility Commitments or, from time to time, reduce the Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitments, the Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Commitments and/or the Acquisition Facility Commitments; provided, that no such termination or reduction of the relevant Commitments shall be permitted to the extent that, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans and Cash Collateralization of the Letters of Credit made on or before the effective date thereof, (i) the Total Dollar Working Capital Facility Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of all Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitments of all Dollar Working Capital Facility Lenders then in effect, (ii) the Total Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of all Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Commitments of all Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Lenders then in effect or (iii) the Total Acquisition Facility Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of all Acquisition Facility Commitments of all Acquisition Facility Lenders then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently and ratably the applicable relevant Commitment then in effect. 
(b)    At any time during the Increase Period, (x) (i) the aggregate Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitments may be increased to an amount not to exceed $1,200,000,000 (a “Dollar Working Capital  Facility Increase”) and (ii) the aggregate Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Commitments may be increased to an amount not to exceed $320,000,000 (a “Multicurrency Working Capital  Facility Increase”); provided that the aggregate increases under clauses (x)(i) and (x)(ii) shall not exceed $200,000,000 and (y) the aggregate Acquisition Facility Commitments may be increased to an amount not to exceed $600,000,000750,000,000 (an “Acquisition Facility Increase”; a Dollar Working Capital Facility Increase, Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Increase and an Acquisition Facility Increase, each being a “Facility Increase”) pursuant to the following procedure:
(i)    The U.S. Borrower may make a written request for such Facility Increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall forward a copy of any such request to the Lenders under such Facility. Each request by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall specify a proposed effective date of such increase (the “Requested Increase Effective Date”), the aggregate amount of such requested increase (the “Requested  Increase Amount”), and shall constitute an invitation to each of the Lenders under such Facility to increase its Commitment under such Facility by its Commitment Percentage of such Requested Increase Amount.
(ii)    Each Lender under such Facility, acting in its sole discretion and with no obligations to increase its Commitment under such Facility pursuant to this Section 4.1(b), shall by written notice to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent advise the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to all or any portion of such increase in its Commitment under such Facility within ten (10) days after the U.S. Borrower’s request. Any such Lender may accept all of its Commitment Percentage of such increase, a portion of such increase, or decline to accept any of such increase in its Commitment under such Facility. If any such Lender shall not have responded affirmatively within such ten (10) day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the U.S. Borrower’s request for an increase in such Commitment in full. Promptly following the conclusion of such ten (10) day period, the Administrative Agent 









shall notify the U.S. Borrower of the results of the request for the applicable Facility Increase.
(iii)    If the aggregate amount of the increases in the Commitments under any Facility which the Lenders under such Facility have accepted in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(ii) shall be less than the Requested Increase Amount, the Administrative Agent (subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders under such Facility, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may offer to such additional Persons (including the Lenders under such Facility), as may be agreed by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the opportunity to make available such amount of new Commitments under such Facility as may be required so that the aggregate increases in the Commitments under such Facility by the existing Lenders thereunder together with such new Commitments by such other Persons (the “New Lenders”) shall equal the Requested Increase Amount (the aggregate Facility Increase provided by such existing Lenders and the New Lenders, the “Increase Amount”). Such Increase Amount shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. The effectiveness of all such increases in the Commitments under such Facility are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) each Lender that so elects to increase its Commitment under such Facility (each an “Increasing Lender”), each New Lender, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall have executed and delivered an agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P (an “Increase and New Lender Agreement”); (B) (i) (x) with respect to the Dollar Working Capital Facility, the aggregate Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitment after giving effect to such increases shall not exceed $1,200,000,000 and (y) with respect to the Multicurrency Working Capital Facility, the aggregate Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Commitment after giving effect to such increases shall not exceed $320,000,000; provided that the aggregate increases under clauses (i)(x) and (i)(y) shall not exceed $200,000,000 and (ii) with respect to the Acquisition Facility, the aggregate Acquisition Facility Commitments after giving effect to such increase shall not exceed $600,000,000750,000,000; (C) any fees and other amounts (including pursuant to Section 11.6) payable by the U.S. Borrower in connection with such increase and accession shall have been paid; (D) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such increase in the Commitments; (E) delivery of an Availability Certification dated as of the date of such increase and (F) with respect to each Mortgaged Property, the Administrative Agent shall have received (1) such amendments to the Mortgage and Security Agreements or new Mortgage and Security Agreements as are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in each case, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the relevant Loan Party to the extent necessary to reflect the increase in the applicable Facility (it being understood that, unless requested by the Administrative Agent, no amendment shall increase the amount secured thereby if the same will result in the payment of additional mortgage recording tax) and (2) with respect to each such Mortgage and Security Agreement, a date-down endorsement to the title insurance policy covering such Mortgage and Security Agreement (or if a date-down is not available for a particular jurisdiction, a new title insurance policy in the same insured amount as originally issued or marked up unconditional title commitment, pro forma policy or binder for such insurance) in each case in form and substance not materially less favorable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders as such title policies or marked up unconditional title commitments, pro forma policies or binders delivered on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date, (3) 









evidence satisfactory to it that all premiums in respect of a related date-down endorsement or title policy (or policies) have been paid and (4) to the extent required by applicable Law, a standard flood hazard determination for each Mortgaged Property located in the United States, and with respect to any Mortgaged Property in the United States that is located in a special flood hazard area and with respect to any Mortgaged Property located in Canada in a flood plain, evidence of flood insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, Extensions of Credit made under any Facility Increase shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to corresponding Extensions of Credit under the applicable Facility.
(iv)    On any Requested Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility, (A) each Increasing Lender or New Lender thereof shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine for the benefit of the other Lenders under such Facility as being required in order to cause (after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to the other Lenders under such Facility) each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all Lenders under such Facility to equal its Commitment Percentage of such Loans, (B) the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans of all the Lenders under such Facility to equal its Commitment Percentage of such outstanding Loans as of the date of the applicable Facility Increase (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods, if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the applicable Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.3) and (C) the participations in Letters of Credit shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the applicable Commitment Percentages. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.14 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods; provided, that the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall cooperate with the Borrowers to reduce and/or eliminate any such indemnification payments to the extent reasonably possible if such cooperation would not subject the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
(v)    Upon the Requested Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility, Schedule 1.0 of the Increase and New Lender Agreement, which shall reflect the Commitments and the Commitment Percentages of the Lenders under such Facility at such time, shall be deemed to supersede Schedule 1.0 hereto without any further action or consent of any party. The Administrative Agent shall cause a copy of such revised Schedule 1.0 to be available to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders.

(c)    If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Obligations (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (i) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.00%, (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans or (with respect to Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) Prime Rate Loans in respect of the applicable Facility plus 2.00%, and (iii) in the case of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder, at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans or (with respect to interest payable on any Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars or on any Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) Prime Rate Loans under the applicable Working Capital Facility plus 2.00%, in each case, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount not paid when due is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
(d)    Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date or on the applicable date with respect to interest payable pursuant to Section 4.2(c) above.
4.3    Conversion and Continuation Options.  (a)  The applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to Convert Eurocurrency Loans denominated in United States Dollars to Base Rate Loans or Convert Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars to Prime Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent (in the case of Loans denominated in United States Dollars) or the Canadian Agent (in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars) at least two (2) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election in the form attached hereto as Annex II (the “Continuation/Conversion Notice”), such Continuation/Conversion Notice specifying the Facility of the Loans to be Converted and the amount and the date such Conversion is to be made; provided that any such Conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to Convert Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent (in the case of Loans denominated in United States Dollars) or the Canadian Agent (in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars) irrevocable notice of such election (in the form of a Continuation/Conversion Notice) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at its New York office, three (3) Business Days before the date of such election. Any such notice of Conversion to Eurocurrency Loans shall specify the Facility of the Loans to be Converted, the amount to be Converted, the date of such Conversion and the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the applicable Agent shall promptly notify each Relevant Facility Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurocurrency Loans, Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans may be Converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Base Rate Loan or Prime Rate Loan may be Converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, has or the Required Lenders have reasonably determined that such a Conversion is not appropriate and (ii) no Base Rate Loan or Prime Rate Loan may be Converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one (1) month prior to the Termination Date.

Any automatic Conversion to Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans.
(c)    During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loan may be requested as, Converted to or Continued as Eurocurrency Loans if the Required Lenders have reasonably determined that such a request, Conversion or Continuation is not appropriate.

4.9    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.  (a)  Other than as expressly set forth herein, each borrowing by any Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages, as applicable, of the Lenders under such Facility. Other than as expressly set forth herein, each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest and fees on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations under any Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Borrower’s Loans and Reimbursement Obligations under such Facility, respectively, then held by the Lenders.
(b)    All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder on account of principal of Loans (other than Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans on any day other than the Maturity Date of such Loans) shall be accompanied by a payment in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loans. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent (in the case of amounts payable in United States Dollars) or the Canadian Agent (in the case of amounts payable in Canadian Dollars) for the account of the applicable Lenders at the office of the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, specified in Section 11.2 in United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, in immediately available funds. The applicable Agent shall distribute such payments to the appropriate Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment obligation shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any 









extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, on demand such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (in the case of United States Dollar denominated amounts) or the Canadian  Agent’s cost of funds (in the case of Canadian Dollar denominated amounts) for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 4.9 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans (in the case of amounts denominated in United States Dollars) or Prime Rate Loans (in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars) on demand from the applicable Borrower (without duplication of the interest otherwise applicable thereto).
(d)    Subject to Sections 4.7(d) and (e) and Section 4.18, the application of any payment of Loans (including optional and mandatory prepayments), along with the application of any proceeds obtained upon the exercise of remedies by the Agents for the Lenders hereunder or under any Loan Document, shall be made to each Lender based upon its Commitment Percentage, first, to Base Rate Loans and Prime Rate Loans, ratably, and, second, to Eurocurrency Loans, ratably. Each payment of the Eurocurrency Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.
4.10    Requirements of Law.  (a)  If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date:
(i)    does or shall subject any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Loan or any Letter of Credit made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent in respect thereof (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (x) any U.S. federal or Canadian withholding Tax or Other Taxes, as to which Section 4.11 shall govern, or (y) any Tax imposed on or measured by a Lender’s, the Administrative Agent’s or the Canadian Agent’s net income (to the extent it does not change the basis of taxation), including any changes in the rate of net income Taxes (or franchise Taxes in lieu thereof) imposed on a Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable);









(ii)    does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate; or
(iii)    does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition, cost or expense (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (x) any U.S. federal or Canadian withholding Tax or Other Taxes, as to which Section 4.11 shall govern, or (y) any Tax imposed on or measured by a Lender’s net income (to the extent it does not change the basis of taxation), including any changes in the rate of net income Taxes (or franchise Taxes in lieu thereof) imposed on a Lender); and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent of making, Converting into, Continuing or maintaining this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Loan or issuing, providing and maintaining any Letter of Credit or holding an interest in any Issuing Lender’s obligations thereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable by the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent in respect thereof, then the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking Loans or issuing Letters of Credit if, in the judgment of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, such designation (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 or eliminate the need to provide the notice specified in clause (c) of this Section 4.10 and (y) would not subject such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent;
then, in any such case, and to the extent that such cost is not fully compensated for by an adjustment to the Eurocurrency Rate, the Base Rate, the Prime Rate or any fee on a Letter of Credit or mitigated pursuant to a change in such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office, the Borrowers shall promptly, after receiving notice as specified in clause (c) of this Section 4.10, pay such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable on a net after-Tax basis.
(b)    If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction on a net after-Tax basis.
(c)    If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10, it shall promptly notify the U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate prepared in good faith as to any 









additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 submitted by such Lender to the U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. No Lender shall be entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.10(a) and (b) for circumstances which occurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender makes a request for payment hereunder.
(d)    It is agreed and understood that, for all purposes under this Agreement (including for purposes of this Section 4.10 and Section 4.11) that (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith on in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States, Canadian or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an adoption or change in a Requirement of Law made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, implemented or issued.
4.11    Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by or on behalf of each Loan Party or any Agent under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party shall, unless otherwise required by law, be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”). If any Loan Party or the Agent shall be required under any Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents to any Agent or Lender (including for purposes of this Section 4.11 and Section 4.10 any assignee, successor or participant), as determined in good faith by the applicable Loan Party or Agent, (i) such Loan Party or Agent shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) such Loan Party or Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any Requirement of Law, and (iii) in the case of any Non-Excluded Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Loan Party or Agent has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 4.11) such Lender or Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made or required in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, (i) in the case of a Lender or Agent, Taxes that are imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or Agent is organized or has its applicable lending office, (ii) net income, franchise or branch profit taxes imposed on a Lender or an Agent (A) by the jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or Agent is organized or has its principal office or applicable lending office or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes, (iii) any U.S. federal or Canadian withholding Tax imposed on any payment under the law as of the Restatement Effective Date, (iv) any Tax imposed on a Transferee (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the U.S. Borrower under Section 4.17) or successor Agent to the extent that, under applicable Law in effect on the date of the transfer to such Transferee or such successor Agent, the amount of such Tax exceeds the Non-Excluded Taxes, if any, that were imposed on payments to the transferring Lender or predecessor Agent, (v) Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or Agent’s failure to comply with Section 4.11(e) or Section 4.11(h) or (vi) any U.S. federal or Canadian withholding Tax 









imposed under FATCA.  For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusions described in the preceding sentence will apply to the same effect to direct or indirect beneficial owners of a Lender that is fiscally transparent.
(b)    In addition, each Loan Party hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar Taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).
(c)    Each Loan Party hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender that is not fiscally transparent and, in the case of a Lender that is fiscally transparent, its direct or indirect beneficial owners for which such Loan Party has received proof of such ownership and entitlement to the benefits of this Section 4.11 (subject to the same conditions for, and exclusions from indemnification as are applicable to a Lender that is not fiscally transparent), and each Agent for, and to hold each harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.11 imposed on or paid by such Lender or Agent, and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by the Loan Parties provided for in this Section 4.11(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by any Loan Party under the indemnity set forth in this Section 4.11(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Lender or Agent makes written demand therefor.
(d)    Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the applicable Loan Party (or any Person making such payment on behalf of the Loan Parties) shall furnish to Lender and/or Agent for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof or evidence of such payment as is reasonably satisfactory to such Lender or Agent.
(e)    (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent as will enable the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.11(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below and any documentation required for Canadian withholding Tax purposes) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:









(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)  in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form 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 any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form 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;
(2)  executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)  in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 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 the applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “Section 4.11 Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or
(4)  to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a Section 4.11 Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a Section 4.11 Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and









(D)    if a payment made to a Lender, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent shall deliver to the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent as may be necessary for the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender, Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent 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 of the Restatement Effective Date.
Each Lender, Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Loan Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Loan Parties contained in this Section 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained in Section 4.10 or this Section 4.11 shall require any Agent or Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.
(g)    For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent to treat) the Existing Credit Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
(h)    On the Restatement Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent (or, on any date thereafter, any successor or replacement Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent) shall deliver to the applicable Borrower two duly executed originals of either (i) IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, or (ii) such other documentation as the applicable Borrower may reasonably request for purposes of establishing that the applicable Borrower can make payments to the Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States or Canada.
4.12    Lending Offices. Loans of each Type made by any Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.
4.13    Credit Utilization Reporting.  Within five (5) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, each Issuing Lender shall deliver a report to the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Annex IV (a “Credit Utilization Summary”), setting forth, for each Letter of Credit issued or provided by such Issuing Lender, (i) the currency and the amount available to be drawn or utilized under such Letters of Credit as of the end of such calendar month and (ii) the amount of any drawings, payments or reductions of such Letters of Credit during such month, in each case, on an aggregate and per Letter of 









Credit basis. Upon receiving notice from any Borrower or the beneficiary under a Letter of Credit issued or provided by such Issuing Lender of a reduction or termination of such Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Agent) thereof.
4.14    Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any actual loss or expense (other than, in the case of expenses, any administrative, processing or similar fee in respect thereof exceeding $100 for each affected Lender for each relevant event) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a result of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, Conversion into or Continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. No Lender shall be entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.14 for circumstances which occurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender makes a request for payment hereunder.
4.15    Market Disruption and Inability to Determine Interest Rate.  (a)  If, at the time that the Administrative Agent shall seek to determine the relevant Screen Rate on the Quotation Day for any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan, the applicable Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period and/or for the applicable currency with respect to such Eurocurrency Loan for any reason and the Administrative Agent shall determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), then the applicable Reference Bank Rate shall be the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan; provided that if any Reference Bank Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement; provided, further, however, that if less than two Reference Banks shall supply a rate to the Administrative Agent for purposes of determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan and Section 4.15(b)(i) shall apply.[Reserved]
(b)    If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan:
(i)     the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for a Loan in the applicable currency for such Interest Period; or
(ii)    the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility that the Eurocurrency Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their affected Eurocurrency Loans under such Facility during such Interest Period; 









then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given with respect to the Eurocurrency Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans under any Facility, (x) any such Eurocurrency Loan requested to be made under such Facility on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as a Base Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in United States Dollars) or a Prime Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars), (y) any Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans under such Facility that were to have been Converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall not be so Converted and shall continue as Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans under such Facility shall be Converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Base Rate Loans (in the case of Loans denominated in United States Dollars) or Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars). Until such notice has been revoked by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans under such Facility shall be made or Continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to Convert Loans under such Facility into such Type.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly revoke (i) any such notice pursuant to clause (b)(i) above if the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means exist for ascertaining the relevant Eurocurrency Loan for the applicable Interest Period and (ii) any such notice pursuant to clause (b)(ii) above upon receipt of notice from the requisite Lenders under the applicable Facility necessary to give such notice in clause (b)(ii) that the relevant circumstances described in such clause (b)(ii) have ceased to exist.
4.16    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, Continue Eurocurrency Loans as such and Convert Base Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall forthwith be suspended to the extent necessary for such Lender to avoid any such unlawful action until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it is lawful to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, provided, however, that notwithstanding the suspension contemplated by this clause (a), the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Base Rate Loans and/or Prime Rate Loans shall continue to be in effect, and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall be Converted automatically to available and lawful Interest Periods, if any, or Base Rate Loans (in the case of Loans denominated in United States Dollars) or Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), at the option of the applicable Borrower, on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such Conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.14.
4.17    Replacement of Lenders. If (a)(i)(A) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11 or (B) any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, and (ii) in the case of Section 4.11, a Lender has declined to designate a different Applicable Lending Office, (b) any Lender invokes Section 4.16, (c) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (d) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or other modification that, pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1, requires the consent of all the Lenders, or all affected Lenders, and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then, in each case, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers may, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers, 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 and obligations contained in Section 11.7), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or all of its interests, rights and obligations in respect of the Loans or Commitments that are the subject of the related amendment, waiver or other modification) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations and become a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the transferring Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to (A) the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, and accrued fees payable to it hereunder, from the Assignee and (B) any additional amounts (including indemnity payments) payable to it hereunder from the Borrowers and (ii) in the case of a transferring Lender that is also an Issuing Lender, the Letters of Credit issued by such transferring Lender shall have been cash collateralized or backed by a letter of credit or other credit support from a Non-Defaulting Lender or other bank reasonably acceptable to the transferring Lender, in each case, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such transferring Lender; provided, further, that, if, upon such demand by the Borrowers, such Lender elects to waive its request for additional compensation pursuant to Sections 4.10 or 4.11, or consents to the proposed amendment, waiver or other modification, the demand by the Borrowers for such Lender to so assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall thereupon be deemed withdrawn. Nothing in this Section 4.17 shall affect or postpone any of the rights of any Lender or any of the Obligations of the Borrowers under any of the foregoing provisions of Sections 4.10, 4.11 or 4.16 in any manner. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interest hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.17.
4.18    Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    If any Defaulting Lender (or a Lender who would be a Defaulting Lender but for the expiration of the relevant grace period) as a result of the exercise of a set-off shall have received a payment in respect of its Loans or its participation interests in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit which results in its Extensions of Credit under any Facility being less than its Commitment Percentage of the Total Extensions of Credit under such Facility, then payments (including principal, interest and fees) to such Defaulting Lender will be suspended until such time as all amounts due and owing to the Lenders under such Facility have been equalized in accordance with such Lenders’ Commitment Percentages of the Total Extensions of Credit under such Facility. Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Obligations under any Facility with respect to which a Defaulting Lender is a Lender at such time, the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal of a Loan or a reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under such Facility, the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall apply such payment first to the Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and, if applicable, Swing Line Loans, under such Facility and for which such Defaulting Lender shall have failed to fund its pro rata share to non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility until such time as such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund such Loans and/or participations is satisfied in full or each Lender under such Facility is paid its Commitment Percentage of the Total Extensions of Credit under such Facility. After acceleration or maturity of the Obligations under any Facility to which a Defaulting Lender is a Lender, subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.18(a), all principal will be paid ratably as provided in Section 4.9(a).









(b)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(i)    fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8; and
(ii)    with respect to any L/C Participation Obligation, Refunded Swing Line Loan or Swing Line Participation Amount (collectively, “Participation Obligations”) of such Defaulting Lender that exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or thereafter:
(A)    all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of all Participation Obligations under each Facility to which such Defaulting Lender is a Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Facility) but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Available Commitments under such Facility is greater than zero and (y) each such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Available Commitment under such Facility is greater than zero;
(B)    if the reallocation described in clause (ii)(A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrowers shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent to the U.S. Borrower (1) Cash (100%) Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Letters of Credit under the applicable Facility (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above) for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding and (2) after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above, if such Defaulting Lender is (x) a Dollar Working Capital Facility Lender, repay the non-reallocated amount of each Dollar Swing Line Loan for so long as such Refunded Swing Line Loan and Dollar Swing Line Participation Amount are outstanding and (y) a Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Lender, repay the non-reallocated amount of each Multicurrency Swing Line Loan for so long as such Refunded Swing Line Loan and Multicurrency Swing Line Participation Amount are outstanding;
(C)    if the Participation Obligations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders under the relevant Facility are reallocated pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above or Cash (100%) Collateralized or repaid pursuant to clause (ii)(B), then the fees payable to the Lenders under such Facility pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be adjusted or reduced, as applicable, in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Facility); and
(D)    if any Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Participation Obligations under any Facility is neither Cash (100%) Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 4.18(b)(ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies hereunder of the Lenders and Issuing Lenders under such Facility and, in the case of any Working Capital Facility, the Swing Line Lenders under such Facility, all commitment and commission fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Facility that was utilized by 









the Participation Obligations under such Facility) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.5(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Letters of Credit under such Facility shall be payable to the Issuing Lenders under such Facility and, in the case of any Working Capital Facility, the Swing Line Lenders under such Facility, until such Participation Obligations are Cash (100%) Collateralized, reallocated and/or repaid in full.
(c)    So long as any Lender under any Facility is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Issuing Lender under such Facility shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit under such Facility, unless it is satisfied that the exposure of the L/C Participants in respect of such Letter of Credit will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 4.18(b), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility in a manner consistent with Section 3.6 (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein), and (ii) if the Defaulting Lender is a Working Capital Facility Lender, no Swing Line Lender under such Facility shall be required to advance any Swing Line Loan under such Facility, unless it is satisfied that the exposure of the remaining Lenders under such Facility in respect of such Swing Line Loan will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility.
(d)    So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be a Qualified Counterparty with respect to any Commodity OTC Agreements or Financial Hedging Agreements, or a Qualified Cash Management Bank with respect to a Cash Management Bank Agreement, entered into while such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(e)    In the event that the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Borrower and each Issuing Lender under a Facility in which a Defaulting Lender is a Lender, and, in the case of any Working Capital Facility, each Swing Line Lender under such Facility, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Participation Obligations under such Facility shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Facility, and on such date each Lender under such Facility shall purchase at par such of the Loans, funded Participation Obligations and Commitments under such Facility as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans, funded Participation Obligations and Commitments in accordance with its Commitment Percentage with respect to such Facility.
4.19    Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.
4.20    Limitations on Interest. If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate any Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) 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 the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate, such 









adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lenders under Section 4.2, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lenders to the Borrowers. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 4.20 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles 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” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) 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 Restatement Effective Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination
		
	SECTION 5
	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and provide other extensions of credit hereunder and, with respect to the Issuing Lenders, to issue the Letters of Credit, the Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to each Agent and each Lender as of the Restatement Effective Date and each Borrowing Date that:
5.1    Financial Condition.  (a)  Each of the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(r) and Section 7.1 (other than the Annual Budgets, the Operating Forecasts and the financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1(r)(v) and (vi)) present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of the Persons covered by such financial statements as at such date, and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP or GAAP adjusted on an Economic Basis plus or minus any Allowed Reserve, as applicable, in each case applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by such accountants and as disclosed therein and, with regard to the non-annual financial statements, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes).
(b)    The Annual Budgets and the Operating Forecasts have been prepared in good faith under the direction of a Responsible Person of the General Partner. The Annual Budgets and the Operating Forecasts were based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Loan Parties to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount.
(c)    Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(c) hereto, neither the MLP nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries has, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to in Section 5.1(a), any material Guarantee Obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any material long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment, including any material interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other financial derivative which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto.









(d)    The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the Extensions of Credit to be made on the Restatement Effective Date and the use of proceeds thereof, (ii) the consummation of the Kildair Acquisition and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing.  The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared based on the best information available to the U.S. Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and present fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the U.S. Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2014, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date
(e)    The Projections have been prepared based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the U.S. Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount.  
(f)    During the period from December 31, 2013 to and including the Restatement Effective Date, there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by any Loan Party or any of their respective consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of their respective business or property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property (including any Capital Stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of such Loan Party and its consolidated Subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, other than those sales, transfers, dispositions and acquisitions listed on Schedule 5.1(f).
5.2    No Change. Since December 31, 2013, there has been no Material Adverse Effect.
5.3    Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Loan Parties (a) is duly formed or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate (or analogous) power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.4    Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each of the Loan Parties has the corporate (or analogous) power and authority, and the legal right, to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, if applicable, to borrow hereunder, and, if applicable, has taken all necessary corporate (or analogous) action to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Except for (a) the filing of Uniform Commercial Code and PPSA financing statements, financing change statements and equivalent filings for foreign jurisdictions and the taking of applicable actions referred to in Section 5.16 and (b) the filings or other actions listed on Schedule 5.4 (and including such other authorizations, approvals, registrations, actions, notices or filings as have already been obtained, made or taken and are in full force and effect), no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, including the FERC, to which any Borrower or other Loan Party is subject, is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, validity or enforceability of the Loan 









Documents to which the Loan Parties are a party; provided that approval by the FERC may be required for the transfer of direct or indirect ownership or control of FERC Contract Collateral; provided, further, that no approval of the FERC is required for the granting of the security interest in the FERC Contract Collateral to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. As of the Restatement Effective Date, the only contracts comprising FERC Contract Collateral of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries as to which further consent of the FERC may be required in connection with the exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents are contracts for the transportation and storage of certain Eligible Commodities. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
5.5    No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which any of the Loan Parties is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (i) will not violate any Requirement of Law, including any rules or regulations promulgated by the FERC, in any material respect or where a waiver has not been obtained, in each case to the extent applicable to or binding upon such Loan Party or its Properties, (ii) will not violate a material Contractual Obligation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Governing Documents) of any of the Loan Parties, except where such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation (other than Liens created by the Security Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent and Liens permitted by Section 8.3).
5.6    No Material Litigation. No litigation or proceeding to which a Loan Party is party before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened by or against any Loan Party or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, (b) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by or occurring simultaneously with the entering into of any of the Loan Documents in which such litigation or proceeding is material and has a reasonable basis in fact, or (c) which could, after giving effect to any insurance, bond or reserve, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.7    No Default. No Loan Party is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
5.8    Ownership of Property; Liens. Except for matters disclosed on the title reports and surveys, including minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party has defensible title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its tangible personal property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 8.3.
5.9    Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns, is licensed to use or has a common law or contractual right to access and use, all material trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents, 









industrial designs, technology, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”) except for those the failure to own or license which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.9, no claim has been asserted nor is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use by any such Loan Party of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim, except any claim that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Loan Parties does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.10    No Burdensome Restrictions. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.11    Taxes.  (a)  Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns required to be filed and has timely paid all material Taxes due and payable by it or imposed with respect to any of its property and all other material fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any Taxes the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Loan Parties). Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has withheld all employee withholdings and has made all employer contributions required to be withheld and made by it pursuant to applicable law on account of the Canada and Quebec pension plans, employment insurance and employee income taxes.
(b)    There are no Liens for Taxes and no claim is being asserted with respect to Taxes, except for statutory liens for Taxes not yet due and payable or for Taxes the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and, in each case, with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the MLP.
5.12    Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U, or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the U.S. Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U.
5.13    ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to satisfy the minimum funding requirements of Section 412 or 430 of the Code has occurred during the six-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Single Employer Plan, no Plan is reasonably expected to be in “at risk” status within the meaning of Section 430 of the Code and each Plan (including, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, a Multiemployer Plan or a multiemployer welfare plan maintained pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement) has complied in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and the constituent documents of such Plan, except for instances of non-compliance that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred during such six-year period or is reasonably expected to occur (other than a termination described in Section 4041(b) of ERISA), and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen during such six-year period or is reasonably expected to arise. Except to the extent that any such excess could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single 









Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits. Except to the extent that such liability could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither the Loan Parties nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and (ii) the Loan Parties would not become subject to any liability under ERISA if a Loan Party or any Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization, Insolvent or terminating or is reasonably expected to be in Reorganization, become Insolvent or be terminated or is, or is reasonably expected to be in endangered, seriously endangered or critical status, in each case within the meaning of Section 432 of the Code. Except to the extent that any such excess could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating) of the aggregate liabilities of the Loan Parties and each Commonly Controlled Entity for the provision of post-retirement benefits to their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) do not, in the aggregate, exceed the total assets under all such Plans allocable to such benefits except as disclosed in the financial statements of the Loan Parties. Neither the Loan Parties nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has engaged in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code in connection with any Plan that would subject any Loan Party to liability under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (1) Eeach Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS covering such plan’s most recently completed five-year remedial amendment cycle in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2007-44, I.R.B. 2007-28, indicating that such Plan is so qualified and the trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code or an application for such a determination is currently pending before the Internal Revenue Service and, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of the most recent determination letter which would cause such Plan to lose its qualified status; (2) no liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments) or the IRS with respect to any Plan, any Plan or Single Employer Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by any Loan Party or any Commonly Controlled Entity; (3) no Event of Default under Section 9.1(h) hereof has occurred and neither the Borrowers nor any Commonly Controlled Entity is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an Event of Default; and (4) each of the Loan Parties’ Commonly Controlled Entities have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.
5.14    Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. None of the Loan Parties is required to register as an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Loan Parties are not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits their ability to incur Indebtedness.
5.15    Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.15 sets forth as of the Restatement Effective Date the names of all direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the MLP, their respective forms of organization, their respective jurisdictions of organization, the total number of issued and outstanding shares or other interests of Capital Stock thereof, the classes and number of issued and outstanding shares or other 









interests of Capital Stock of each such class, and with respect to the MLP, the name of each holder of general partnership interests thereof and the number of general partnership interests held by each such holder.
5.16    Security Documents.  (a)  The provisions of the Security Documents are effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a legal, valid and enforceable Lien in all right, title and interest of each Loan Party party thereto in the “Collateral” described therein, subject to any Liens permitted by Section 8.3.

(e)    When proper financing statements or other applicable filings listed in Schedule 5.16 have been filed in the offices in the jurisdictions listed in Schedule 5.16, the security interest granted under the U.S. Security Agreement shall constitute a perfected first Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the U.S. Borrower and those Loan Parties party thereto in the portion of the “Collateral” described therein that consists of assets included in the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Kildair Borrowing Base hereunder, which can be perfected by such filing, subject to any Permitted Borrowing Base Liens.

(h)    When an Account Control Agreement has been entered into with respect to each Pledged Account (except for Deposit Accounts maintained with a financial institution in Canada) of any Loan Party party to the Canadian Security Documents, the Canadian Security Documents shall constitute a perfected first Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Party thereto in the portion of the “Collateral” described therein that consists of Pledged Accounts (except for Deposit Accounts maintained with a financial institution in Canada), prior and superior in right to any other Person, subject to any Permitted Cash Management Liens.

All factual information, reports and other papers and data with respect to the Loan Parties furnished pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and all factual statements and representations made in writing, to the Agents, the Arrangers or the Lenders by any Loan Party or on behalf of any Loan Party at its direction, were, at the time the same were so furnished or made, when taken together with all such other factual information, reports and other papers and data previously so furnished and all such other factual statements and representations previously so made in writing, complete and correct in all material respects, to the extent necessary to give the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter thereof in all material respects, and did not, as of the date so furnished or made, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. The projections and pro forma information contained in the materials referenced above were based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Loan Parties to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount; provided, however, that the representation and warranty in this Section 5.17 shall not cover (x) the financial information addressed in Section 5.1 or Section 7.1 or (y) any reports that were prepared by any Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any advisor thereof (whether or not such advisor’s fees were paid by any Loan Party), but shall apply to any information, reports, other papers or data that were approved by any Loan Party for inclusion in any such report.

	SECTION 10
	THE AGENTS


10.1    Appointment.  (a)  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform 









such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.
(b)    Each Qualified Counterparty and each Qualified Cash Management Bank, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Hedging Agreement Qualification Notification and/or by accepting the grant by the Loan Parties of the security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents, hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Qualified Counterparty or Qualified Cash Management Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Qualified Counterparty and Qualified Cash Management Bank irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(c)    For the purposes of holding any security granted by the Canadian Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any bond issued by the Canadian Borrower or any Loan Party, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the person holding the power of attorney (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the Lenders as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the Lenders to hold and be the sole registered holder of any bond which may be issued under any hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law, and to execute all related documents. Each of the Attorney and the Custodian shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney and the Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any hypothec, bond, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lenders, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec, bond, or pledge on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Lender shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (i) the Attorney as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity, and (ii) the Custodian as the agent and custodian as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Custodian in such capacity. The substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10 shall also constitute the substitution of the Attorney and the Custodian.









10.2    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
10.3    Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates (each, an “Agent-Related Person”) shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including in any audit prepared by the Administrative Agent’s internal auditor pursuant to Section 6.1(l)) or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
10.4    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the U.S. Borrower, the Canadian Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent with reasonable care. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders as shall be required therefor under Section 11.1) as it deems appropriate or as otherwise required by Section 11.1 or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders as shall be required therefor under Section 11.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans and all other Obligations.
10.5    Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender, or any Borrower or any other Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until an Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.









10.6    Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower or any other LoanCredit Party or any audit performed by the Administrative Agent’s internal auditor pursuant to Section 6.1(l), shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and made its own decision to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall have any duty to monitor the Collateral used to calculate the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Kildair Borrowing Base or the reporting requirements or the contents of reports delivered by any Borrower. Each Lender assumes the responsibility of keeping itself informed at all times.
10.7    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and each other Agent-Related Person on an after-Tax basis in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and the cash collateralization of the L/C Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from such Agent’s or such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all amounts payable hereunder and the cash collateralization of the L/C Obligations.  
10.8    Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to 









the Loans and other extensions of credit made by it hereunder, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
10.9    Successor Agents. (a) (i) The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Canadian Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders (or, if the Administrative Agent has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment or has a parent company that has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment, the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time thereafter by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Required Lenders). If the Administrative Agent shall resign (or be removed) as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (unless no Lender is willing to act as the Administrative Agent, in which case the Administrative Agent may be any Person approved by the Required Lenders) a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by the U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Agent (which approval shall, in each case, not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), whereupon such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or other Obligations. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation (or removal) as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
(ii) The Canadian Agent may resign as the Canadian Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders (or, if the Canadian Agent has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment or has a parent company that has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment, the Canadian Agent may be removed at any time thereafter by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent and signed by the Required Lenders). If the Canadian Agent shall resign (or be removed) as the Canadian Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (unless no Lender is willing to act as the Canadian Agent, in which case the Canadian Agent may 









be any Person approved by the Required Lenders) a successor Canadian Agent for the Lenders, which successor Canadian Agent shall be approved by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which approval, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), whereupon such successor Canadian Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Canadian Agent and the term “Canadian Agent” shall mean such successor Canadian Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Canadian Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Canadian Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Canadian Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or other Obligations. After any retiring Canadian Agent’s resignation (or removal) as Canadian Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Canadian Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no successor Canadian Agent has accepted appointment as Canadian Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Canadian Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Canadian Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Canadian Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.


(b)    Either or both Co-Collateral Agents may resign as a Co-Collateral Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the other Co-Collateral Agent (if any), the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders. Upon any such resignation, the remaining Co-Collateral Agent (the “Sole Remaining Co-Collateral Agent”) shall perform all of the functions of the Co-Collateral Agents and the retiring Co-Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If both Co-Collateral Agents shall resign substantially simultaneously or the Sole Remaining Co-Collateral Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (unless no Lender is willing to act as a Co-Collateral Agent, in which case the Co-Collateral Agent may be any Person approved by the Required Lenders) a successor Co-Collateral Agent for the Lenders, who shall be the sole successor Co-Collateral Agent hereunder (the “Sole Successor Co-Collateral Agent”) and which Sole Successor Co-Collateral Agent shall be approved by the U.S. Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), whereupon such Sole Successor Co-Collateral Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Co-Collateral Agents and the term “Co-Collateral Agents” shall mean such Sole Successor Co-Collateral Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Co-Collateral Agents’ rights, powers and duties as Co-Collateral Agents shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Co-Collateral Agents or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or other Obligations. After any retiring Co-Collateral Agent’s resignation as Co-Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Co-Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no successor Co-Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as Co-Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Sole Remaining Co-Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation or the substantially simultaneous retiring of both Co-Collateral Agents, the resignation of the retiring Co-Collateral Agent(s) shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Co-Collateral Agent(s) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
(c)    The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of any right of pledge governed by Netherlands law, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective with respect to its rights under the Parallel Debt (as defined in the Guarantee) until such rights are assigned to the successor agent.  The Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate in assigning its rights under the 









Parallel Debt to any such successor agent and will reasonably cooperate in transferring all rights under any security document governed by Netherlands law (as the case may be) to such successor agent.


10.10    Collateral Matters.  (a)  The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
(b)    The Lenders, and each Qualified Counterparty and each Qualified Cash Management Bank (pursuant to the terms of the applicable Hedging Agreement Qualification Notification and/or by accepting the grant by the Loan Parties of the security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents), irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments, and payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations known to the Administrative Agent and payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and of which no Responsible Person of any Loan Party has knowledge or any obligations owed under a Commodity OTC Agreement with a Qualified Counterparty, any Financial Hedging Agreement with a Qualified Counterparty or any Cash Management Bank Agreement with a Qualified Cash Management Bank); (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition permitted hereunder; (iii) constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to any Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by a Loan Party to be, renewed or extended; (v) consisting of an instrument evidencing Indebtedness or other debt instrument, if the indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the portion of the Lenders required by Section 11.1. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.10; provided that the absence of any such confirmation for whatever reason shall not affect the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Section 10.10.
(c)    The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.
10.11    The Co-Collateral Agents; Co-Documentation Agents and the Co-Syndication Agents. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all determinations of the Co-Collateral Agents under the Loan Documents shall be made jointly by the Co-Collateral Agents, provided that, in the event that the Co-Collateral Agents cannot agree on any matter to be determined by the Co-Collateral Agents, the determination shall be made by the individual Co-Collateral Agent asserting, in its discretion exercised in good faith, the more conservative credit judgment or declining to permit the requested action for which consent is being sought by the applicable Loan Party. This provision shall be binding upon any successor to a Co-Collateral Agent.









(b)     None of any Co-Documentation Agent or any Co-Syndication Agent, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any such Person in such capacity incur any liability under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(viii)    amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10, or any other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any Agent, without the written consent of any Agent directly affected thereby; or
(ix)    amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3, or any provision of Section 11.7(c) affecting the right of the Issuing Lenders to consent to certain assignments thereunder, without the written consent of the Issuing Lenders or any other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any Issuing Lenders, without the additional written consent of any Issuing Lender directly affected thereby; or
(x)    amend, modify or waive any provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any Swing Line Lender, without the written consent of any Swing Line Lender directly affected thereby.
Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans and other Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the U.S. Borrower, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document and (b) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b)    Limited Use of Electronic Mail. Electronic mail and internet and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information, and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used to deliver any notice hereunder.

EACH BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WILL MAKE AVAILABLE TO THE LENDERS MATERIALS AND/OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWERS HEREUNDER (COLLECTIVELY, “BORROWER MATERIALS”) BY POSTING THE BORROWER MATERIALS ON INTRALINKS OR ANOTHER SIMILAR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM (THE “PLATFORMBORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WILL MAKE AVAILABLE TO THE LENDERS MATERIALS AND/OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWERS HEREUNDER (COLLECTIVELY, “BORROWER MATERIALS”) BY POSTING THE BORROWER MATERIALS ON INTRALINKS OR ANOTHER SIMILAR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM (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-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall any Agent or any other Agent-Related Person have any liability to any LoanCredit Party, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or any Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent-Related Person have any liability to any LoanCredit Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). Certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws and Canadian federal and provincial securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to any LoanCredit Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws and Canadian federal and provincial securities Laws.
(d)    Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices) purportedly and in good faith believed to be given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The 









Borrowers jointly and severally indemnify each Agent and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly and believed in good faith to be given by or on behalf of any Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications with any Agent may be recorded by such Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
11.3    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein and in the other Loan Documents provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
11.4    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
11.5    Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.  (a)  Upon any sale or other transfer of any Collateral that is permitted under the Loan Documents by any Loan Party or a sale of all of the assets of, or all of the Capital Stock of, a Subsidiary in a transaction that is permitted under the Loan Documents (other than a sale, transfer or other disposition to another Loan Party), or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.10 hereof, the security interest in such Collateral shall automatically terminate and the Administrative Agent shall execute and a deliver a termination or satisfaction of any Mortgage and Security Agreement affecting such Collateral, in proper form for recording.
(b)    Upon any sale or other transfer of all of the Capital Stock of any Loan Party that is permitted or consented to under the Loan Documents (other than a sale or transfer to another Loan Party), the Guarantee of such Loan Party shall automatically be released and terminated.
(c)    Upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Loans and all other Obligations payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and of which no Responsible Person of any Loan Party has knowledge and Hedging and Bank Product Obligations) and upon the termination or expiration ofdate on which all Letters of Credit have been terminated, expired, Cash Collateralized or otherwise dealt with to the satisfaction of the applicable Issuing Lender, the pledge and security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Loan Party. Upon any such termination or pursuant to any termination or release as described in Section 11.5(a), the Administrative Agent will, at the applicable Loan Party’s expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
11.6    Payment of Costs and Expenses. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each Agent and, the Lead Arranger and the Amendment Arranger for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities and the development, preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any 









other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel to the Agents and, the Lead Arranger and the Amendment Arranger, one regulatory counsel to the Agents and, the Lead Arranger and the Amendment Arranger and a single firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender, each Agent and, the Lead Arranger and the Amendment Arranger, for all its documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the documented fees and disbursements of counsel to each Lender, the Lead Arranger, the Amendment Arranger, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c) to pay or reimburse the Agents and, the Lead Arranger and the Amendment Arranger for their documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with inspections performed pursuant to Section 7.9 and audits performed pursuant to Section 6.1(l), and any other due diligence performed in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agents (including the fees and expenses of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP), (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders, each Agent and, the Lead Arranger and the Amendment Arranger harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes (except to the extent the Borrowers have otherwise indemnified such Person for such taxes under Section 4.11(b)), if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent (including the determination of whether or not any such waiver or consent is required) under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (e) on a net after-Tax basis, to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Issuing Lenders, the Agents and the Arrangers, and each of their respective officers, employees, directors, trustees, agents, advisors, affiliates, partners and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and if necessary, one regulatory counsel and a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, by another firm of counsel for the affected Indemnitee)) other than Taxes (as to which Section 4.10 and Section 4.11 shall govern) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any such other documents or the use or proposed use of proceeds of the Facilities, including any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Loan Parties and any of their Subsidiaries, or any of the Properties, or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (e), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (x) are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction  to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Related Person thereof, (y) are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from aany material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any Related Person thereof or (z) result from any proceeding that is solely among Indemnitees (other than any proceeding against any Agent or Arranger or Person fulfilling a similar role in respect of the Facilities in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as such) and does not involve an act or omission by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Affiliates. The agreements in this 









Section 11.6 shall survive repayment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.


11.7    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.  (a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Agents and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any purported such assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent of each Lender shall be null and void).
(b)    Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any natural person) (individually, a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, only to a Person other than an Ineligible Participant) participating interests in any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (a “Participation”). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or other interest for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except with respect to Section 4.10 and 4.11, under which the Participant has certain rights with respect thereto. In no event shall any Participant under any such Participation have any right to approve any amendment to or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or the stated rate of interest on, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligation or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, in each case to the extent subject to such Participation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each Borrower may exercise any rights granted to them in Section 4.17 with respect to the Lender that sold a Participation to such Participant to the extent that the direction by such Participant to such Lender to not consent to any such amendment would cause the applicable Lender to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.17). The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid during an Event of Default, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 11.8(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and be bound by the obligations imposed on the Lenders in, Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 4.14 with respect to its Participation in the Commitments and the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder outstanding from time to time as if it were a Lender; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payments under Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 4.14, with respect to its participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation and the Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.17, as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees to use reasonable efforts to 









cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.17 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c)    Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable Law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an assignment of any Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Relevant Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders and the Relevant Swing Line Lenders, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any other Person (other than the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any natural person or any Defaulting Lender) (the “Assignee”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, appropriately completed (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof, by the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an Assignment of any Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Relevant Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders and the Relevant Swing Line Lenders, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the U.S. Borrower is not deemed to consent to such assignment, the U.S. Borrower) and attaching the Assignee’s relevant tax forms, administrative details and wiring instructions, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) each such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (other than in the case of (A) an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement or (B) an assignment to another Lender, a Subsidiary, an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender), unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower (such amount to be aggregated in respect of assignments by to any Lender and the affiliates or Approved Funds thereof), (ii) in the case of an assignment by a Lender to a Bank CLO managed by such Lender or an affiliate of such Lender, unless such assignment to such Bank CLO has been consented to by the Administrative Agent, and in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an Assignment of any Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Relevant Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders, and the Relevant Swing Line Lenders, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the U.S. Borrower is not deemed to consent to such assignment, the U.S. Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that the Assignment and 









Acceptance between such Lender and such Bank CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such Bank CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 11.2, and (iii) each Assignee shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.11(e). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (e) of this Section 11.7, (x) the consent of the U.S. Borrower shall not be required, and, unless requested by the Assignee and/or the assigning Lender, new Notes shall not be required to be executed and delivered by the Borrowers, for any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events described in Section 9.1(g) shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment that requires consent of the U.S. Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.7 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a Participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.7(b).
(d)    The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders (including all Assignees and successors) and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and other Obligations owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries made in the Register shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded (absent manifest error), and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other Obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other Obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder made to any Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan or other Obligation hereunder, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The parties intend for the Loans or other Obligations to be in registered form for tax purposes and this provision shall be construed in accordance with that intent.
(e)    Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender (or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof), by the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an assignment of any Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Relevant Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders and the Relevant Swing Line Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the U.S. Borrower is not deemed to consent to such assignment, the U.S. Borrower), 









together with payment to the Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the applicable Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the U.S. Borrower.
(f)    Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other than an Ineligible Participant) in each case, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower or the other Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower or other Loan Parties in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrowers, the other the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that such Transferee or prospective Transferee shall have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 11.16 hereof.
(g)    For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 11.7 concerning assignments of Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including (i) any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank (including the Bank of Canada) or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in accordance with applicable Law and (ii) any pledge or assignment by a Lender which is a fund to its trustee for the benefit of such trustee and/or its investors to secure its obligations under any indenture or Governing Documents to which it is a party; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may, with notice to, but without consent of, any Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and in accordance with the definition of “Conduit Lender” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and the terms of this Section 11.7(h), designate a Conduit Lender and fund any of the Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts which such Lender is obligated to make or pay hereunder by causing such Conduit Lender to fund such Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts on behalf of such Lender. Any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.7(c). Each Borrower, each Lender and each Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law in connection with any obligation of such Conduit Lender under the Loan Documents, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, any Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations to any financial institutions (consented to by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such Conduit Lender to support the funding or maintenance of 









Loans or Reimbursement Obligations by such Conduit Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans and its Reimbursement Obligations to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Conduit Lender.

(a)  If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or Reimbursement Obligations with regards to either Facility, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender under such Facility, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or Reimbursement Obligations under such Facility, or interest thereon, except to the extent specifically provided hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders under such Facility a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans or Reimbursement Obligations under such Facility, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders under such Facility; except that with respect to any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender by virtue of such Lender failing to fund its Commitment Percentage of any Loan or Participation Obligation, such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the excess payment shall be allocated to the Lender (or the Lenders, pro rata) that funded such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Loan Party shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Party. Each Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans or Reimbursement Obligations may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.
(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law, during the existence of an Event of Default, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the applicable Borrower.

The Borrower Parties acknowledge and expressly agree with the Agents and each Lender that the joint and several liability of each Borrower Party is required solely as a condition to, and is given solely as inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended under the Loan Documents to any or all of the other Borrower Parties and is not required or given as a condition of Extensions of Credit to such Borrower Party. Each Borrower Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be separate and distinct obligations. Each Borrower Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower Party or of any Note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower Party, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower Party, any other Loan Party, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by an Agent and/or any Lender 









with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower Party or any other Loan Party, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower Party or any other Loan Party and delivered to an Agent and/or any Lender, (iv) the failure by an Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower Party or any other Loan Party, (v) an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or corresponding provisions of Insolvency Laws, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or under Insolvency Laws, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower Party under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or under Insolvency Laws, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower Party. With respect to any Borrower Party’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrower Parties hereunder with respect to Loans or other Extensions of Credit made to any of the other Borrower Parties hereunder, such Borrower Party waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which an Agent and/or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower Party, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to an Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower Party to an Agent and/or any Lender. Upon any Event of Default, the Agents may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower Party to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower Party or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower Party consents and agrees that the Agents shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower Party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

11.21    Contribution and Indemnification among the Borrower Parties; Subordination. Subject to Section 11.24, eEach Borrower Party is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligor under this Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower Party shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower Party hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower Party (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower Party making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrower Parties in an amount, for each of such other Borrower Parties, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower Party’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrower Parties. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower Party hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower Party with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification, and reimbursement under this Section 11.21 shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. 









The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

(b)    Each Borrower Party hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require an Agent or any other Secured Party to institute suit against any other Borrower Party or to exhaust any rights and remedies which an Agent or any other Secured Party has or may have against any other Borrower Party.

(c)    Each Borrower Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert against an Agent or any Lender: (i) any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Borrower Party may now or at any time hereafter have against any other Borrower Party or any other party liable under the Loan Documents; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim of any kind or nature available to any other Borrower Party against an Agent or any Lender, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by an Agent or any Lender under any applicable law; and (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any other Borrower Party’s liability hereunder.

(e)    Each Borrower Party represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that, as of the date of entry of any Additional Borrower into this Agreement, such Borrower Party is currently informed of the financial condition of all other Borrower Parties and all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower Party further represents and warrants that, as of the date of entry of such Borrower Party into this Agreement, such Borrower Party has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower Party agrees that none of the Agents or any Lender has any responsibility to inform any Borrower Party of the financial condition of any other Borrower Party or of any other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.
11.23    Limitation on Obligations of Borrower Parties. In the event that in any action or proceeding involving any state, provincial, territorial or foreign corporate law, or any state, federal, provincial, territorial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, the obligations of any Borrower Party, including for the obligations of any other Borrower Party, under this Agreement shall be held or determined to be void, avoidable, invalid or unenforceable (including because of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable Insolvency Laws or any applicable state, provincial, territorial or federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of such liability of a Borrower Party shall, without any further action by any Loan Party, Agent or Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Borrower’s “Maximum Liability”); provided that nothing contained in this Section 11.23 shall limit the liability of any Borrower Party to repay Loans made directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of that Borrower Party or any Subsidiary of that Borrower Party (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower Party and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries), Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued for the direct or indirect benefit of such Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and all interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations under the Loan Documents with respect thereto, for which such Borrower Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. This Section 11.23 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Borrower Party is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agents and the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable Law, and no Loan Party nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 11.23 with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Borrower Party hereunder shall not be rendered void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable under applicable Law.

11.25    Judgment Currency. (a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, or the respective Lender or Issuing Lender of the full amount of United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent or Canadian Dollar Equivalent, as applicable, determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(c)    For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or Canadian Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 11.25, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable.
