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

 (f) Stamping Fee. A stamping fee is payable by the applicable Canadian Borrower to each accepting Canadian Tranche
Lender on the issuance of each Acceptance and shall be calculated upon the face amount of each such Acceptance for the duration of its term on the basis of the actual number of days to elapse from the date of its acceptance up to the maturity date
of the Acceptance, calculated at the Applicable Rate. Each accepting Canadian Tranche Lender shall be entitled to deduct from the Acceptance Proceeds to be remitted to the Canadian Agent pursuant to Subsection 2.04(e)(ii) the stamping fee
payable to it as determined in accordance with this Section 2.04(f). 
 (g) Payment of Acceptances. Subject to
Section 2.04 (l) and (m), each Canadian Borrower shall pay to each Canadian Tranche Lender the full face amount of each Acceptance accepted by such Canadian Tranche Lender for its account on the maturity date of such Acceptance. If an
Acceptance matures and such Canadian Borrower has not made such payment, nor effected a Conversion or Rollover pursuant to Section 2.04(l) or (m), respectively, such Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have provided for payment of the full
face amount of the Acceptance by Conversion of such Acceptance into a Canadian Base Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to the full face amount of the Acceptance on its maturity date. 
  

 49 








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

 (i) Notice of Maturing Acceptances. The applicable Canadian Borrower shall give the Canadian Agent, before
12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the second Business Day before the maturity of any Acceptances, a notice of repayment or Borrowing Request requesting a Conversion or Rollover in respect of such Acceptances in order to permit each Canadian Tranche
Lender to organize its internal funding requirements to fund the payment of the face amount of such Acceptances to the respective holders thereof upon or following maturity. 
 (j) B/A Equivalent Advances. If a Canadian Tranche Lender is not a Canadian chartered bank or is not permitted by applicable law to,
or does not by virtue of policy or customary practice, accept Drafts for the purpose of subsequent sale as a bankers’ acceptance (a “Non-Acceptance Lender”), each time a Canadian Borrower gives a Borrowing Request for an issue
of Acceptances, such Non-Acceptance Lender shall, in lieu of accepting and purchasing Acceptances pursuant to Section 2.04(e), make an advance in Canadian Dollars to such Canadian Borrower (a “B/A Equivalent Advance”) in the
amount equal to the Acceptance Proceeds which would be derived from a hypothetical sale of Drafts accepted by it (“Notional Acceptances”) in the aggregate face amount of its Canadian Tranche Percentage of such requested issue of
Acceptances at a discount rate that yields to such Non-Acceptance Lender (excluding the Stamping Fee) an interest rate per annum equal to the CDOR BA Rate for Acceptances accepted by a Canadian Tranche Lender that is not a Schedule I Bank. Any B/A
Equivalent Advance shall be repayable on the maturity of such issue of Acceptances. A Non-Acceptance Lender shall be entitled to deduct from the amount of its B/A Equivalent Advance to be paid to the Canadian Agent pursuant to
Subsection 2.04(e)(ii) an amount equal to the Stamping Fee determined in accordance with Section 2.04(f) that would have been payable to it with respect to the Notional Acceptances corresponding to the B/A Equivalent Advance. For the
purposes of this Agreement each reference to an issue of Acceptances or Acceptances issued by a Non-Acceptance Lender shall be deemed to include, where relevant, B/A Equivalent Advances, with the necessary changes being made to fit the context.

 (k) Calculation of Net Acceptance Proceeds. The Net Acceptance Proceeds for any Acceptances purchased by a Canadian
Tranche Lender may be determined in accordance with the following formula: 
 where n is the number of days to elapse in the term of the
Acceptances, CDOR BA Rate is the applicable rate for such Acceptance and is expressed as a decimal and AR is the Applicable Rate with respect to the Stamping Fee. 
  

 50 








 (l) Conversions. Any Canadian Borrower may request the Canadian Tranche Lenders to
convert (a) at any time, a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing or a portion thereof into an issue of Acceptances or (b) on its maturity date, an issue of Acceptances or a portion thereof into a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, upon delivering a
Borrowing Request to the Canadian Agent requesting a Conversion specifying both the amount of the Borrowing to be converted and the amount and Type of the requested resulting Borrowing. The relevant provisions of this Agreement applicable to a
borrowing and availability of the Type of Borrowing which will result from the Conversion (as well as any portion of the Borrowing which is not being converted) must be satisfied to effect any such requested Borrowing (including the applicable
notice provisions contained in Section 2.03). Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(l), the Borrowing (or portion thereof) requested to be converted shall be converted in accordance with the Borrowing Request and any Net
Acceptance Proceeds derived from the Conversion shall be retained by each Canadian Tranche Lender for its own account. 
 (m)
Rollovers. At or before 12:00 noon (Toronto time) two Business Days prior to the maturity of an issue of Acceptances, unless the applicable Canadian Borrower has delivered to the Canadian Agent a Borrowing Request requesting a Conversion
in accordance with Section 2.04(l) or a notice of repayment, such Canadian Borrower shall deliver a Borrowing Request to the Canadian Agent requesting a Rollover and selecting the term applicable to the resulting issue of Acceptances. The
relevant provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Borrowing of Acceptances must be satisfied to effect any such Rollover. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(m), the Borrowing (or portion thereof) requested to be rolled
over shall be rolled over in accordance with the Borrowing Request and the Net Acceptance Proceeds derived from the Rollover shall be retained by each Canadian Tranche Lender for its own account. The provisions of Section 2.04(g) shall
apply if any Canadian Borrower fails to deliver any such requests or notice. 
 (n) Payments on a Conversion or Rollover.
If any Canadian Borrower requests the Canadian Tranche Lenders to convert a Canadian Base Rate Loan or a portion thereof to an issue of Acceptances pursuant to Section 2.04(l), or to Rollover an issue of Acceptances or a portion thereof
pursuant to Section 2.04(m), then such Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Tranche Lenders the difference between (a) the face amount of the resulting Acceptances minus (b) the Net Acceptance Proceeds of the resulting
Acceptances determined in accordance with Section 2.04(k) upon the acceptance and purchase of the resulting Acceptances in accordance with this Section 2.04. 
 SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the US Tranche Swingline Lender agrees to make US Tranche Swingline Loans in US Dollars to the Company
from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding US Tranche Swingline Loans exceeding $0 or (ii) the total
US Tranche Revolving Exposures exceeding the total US Tranche Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Canadian Tranche Swingline Lender agrees to make Canadian Tranche Swingline Loans in Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at
any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Canadian Tranche Swingline Loans exceeding $0 or (ii) the total Canadian Tranche Exposures exceeding the total
Canadian Tranche Commitments; provided that the Canadian Tranche Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Canadian Tranche Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Canadian Tranche Swingline Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, the UK Tranche Swingline Lender agrees to make UK Tranche Swingline Loans in Pounds Sterling or Euro to the UK Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding
that will not result in (i) the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding UK Tranche Swingline Loans exceeding $0 or (ii) the total UK

  

 51 








 
Tranche Exposures exceeding the total UK Tranche Commitments; provided that the UK Tranche Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a UK Tranche Swingline Loan to refinance an
outstanding UK Tranche Swingline Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, no Swingline Loans shall be made under this Agreement. 
 (b) To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time (except, in the case of a Canadian Tranche Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time) on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan and the Tranche under which the requested Swingline Loan will be borrowed. The Applicable Agent will promptly advise the applicable Swingline Lender of any
such notice received from a Borrower. The applicable Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of such Borrower with such Swingline Lender or by wire
transfer to an account specified by such Borrower in the applicable borrowing request (or, in the case of a US Tranche Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the
applicable Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 
 (c) A Swingline Lender may
by written notice given to the Applicable Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on any Business Day require the applicable Lenders under a Tranche to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans
outstanding under such Tranche. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which such Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Applicable Agent will give notice thereof to each applicable Lender,
specifying in such notice such Lender’s Tranche Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Applicable Agent, for the account of
the applicable Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Tranche Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such
Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Applicable Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The
Applicable Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Applicable Agent and not to such
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of the applicable Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of
participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Applicable Agent; any such amounts received by such Agent shall be promptly remitted by such Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such
Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to such Applicable Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to
the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 
  

 52 








 SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the issuance, for its own account and for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, of Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars or in any Alternative Currency, in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Company to, or entered into by the Company with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.06, there shall be no obligation of any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit in respect of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount unless the conditions specified in
Section 4.02(d) shall have been satisfied or waived as of the date of the issuing of such Letter of Credit, and there shall be no obligation of any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit in respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount unless
the conditions specified in Section 4.02(e) shall have been satisfied or waived as of the date of the issuing of such Letter of Credit. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit),
the Company shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date
of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the Tranche under which such Letter of Credit is to be
issued or maintained, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter
of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which shall be US Dollars or an Alternative Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend,
renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Company also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit
shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (i) the US Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure shall not exceed $700,000,000 (ii) the US Tranche Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the total US Tranche Revolving Commitments, (iii) the Canadian Tranche Exposure shall
not exceed the total Canadian Tranche Commitments, and (iv) the UK Tranche Exposure shall not exceed the total UK Tranche Commitments. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit
(or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and
without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders under the applicable Tranche, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each such Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of
Credit equal to such Lender’s Tranche Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Tranche Percentage of (i) each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank in US Dollars and (ii) the US Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates
in effect on the date such payment is required, of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in an Alternative Currency, and in each case, not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of
any reimbursement

  

 53 








 
payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason (or, if such reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the US Dollar Equivalent thereof using the Exchange Rates
on the date of such refund). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement
in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is
made, if the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Company prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the
Company receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, in the case of an LC Disbursement made in US Dollars, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth
herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR US Tranche Revolving Borrowing or US Tranche Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation
to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR US Tranche Revolving Borrowing or US Tranche Swingline Loan. If the Company fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the Company’s obligation to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the US Dollar Equivalent,
calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date when such payment was due, of such LC Disbursement and (ii) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under the applicable Tranche of the applicable LC
Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Lender’s Tranche Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Tranche Percentage of the
payment then due from the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank in US Dollars the amounts so received by it from such Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph,
the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may
appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR US Tranche Revolving Loans or a US Tranche Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not
constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the Company’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject the Administrative
Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in US Dollars, the Company shall, at its option, either
(x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or Lender or (y) reimburse each LC Disbursement made in such Alternative Currency in US Dollars, in an amount equal to the US Dollar
Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such LC Disbursement is made, of such LC Disbursement. 
  

 54 








 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Company’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements
as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
the Company’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Agents, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter
of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice
or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing
Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the
Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have
exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the
terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to
accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such
notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the applicable Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid
amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Company reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) if such LC Disbursement is made in US Dollars, and at all
times following the conversion to US Dollars of an LC Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR US Tranche Revolving Loans, and (ii) if such LC Disbursement
is made in an Alternative Currency, at all times prior to its conversion to US Dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of
funding such LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time; provided that, if the Company fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement

  

 55 








 
when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.14(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except
that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the
Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall
pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an
Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such
successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing
Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in US Dollars in cash
equal to 102% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements in an
Alternative Currency that the Company is not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such
cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in clause
(h) or (i) of Article VII. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Alternative Currency LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the Company. The
Company also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.12(b), Section 2.12(e) and Section 2.19(f). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the
payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the
investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Company’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be
held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other
Secured Obligations. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within
three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
  

 56 








 (k) Existing Letters of Credit. Certain letters of credit issued for the account of
the Company and outstanding on the Effective Date are identified on Schedule 2.06 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”). As of the Effective Date, (i) the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of
Credit issued pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 2.06 as Letters of Credit under the US Tranche, (ii) the undrawn amount of the Existing Letters of Credit and the unreimbursed amount of LC Disbursements with respect to the
Existing Letters of Credit shall be included in the calculation of LC Exposure and US Tranche LC Exposure, and (iii) the provisions of this Section 2.06 and Section 2.13(b) shall apply to the Existing Letters of Credit, and the
Company and the Lenders hereby expressly acknowledge their respective obligations hereunder with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit. 
 (l) Issuing Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each
week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and
reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the
Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank
shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this
Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Company fails to reimburse an LC
Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request. 
 (m) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date
pursuant to Article VII, all amounts (i) that the Company is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter
of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to paragraph (j) above, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied),
(ii) that the Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph
(e) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which an LC Disbursement
has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC
Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be
payable in US Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each
Lender shall make each Loan or payment of Net Acceptance Proceeds to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency by 11:00 a.m., Local Time, to the account of
the Applicable Agent most recently designated for such purpose for Loans or Acceptances of such Class and currency by notice to the applicable Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The
Applicable Agent will make such Loans or Net Acceptance Proceeds available to the relevant Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower maintained by the Applicable Agent in New York City, in

denominated in US Dollars, in Toronto, in the case of Loans or Acceptances denominated in Canadian Dollars, and in London, in the case of Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Euro, or in any
case, by wire transfer to an account specified by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by
the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such
date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Applicable Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the rate reasonably determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount
or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan or, in the case of an Acceptance, the interest rate applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Applicable Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan or Acceptance included in such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.08. Interest
Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and each Term Loan Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the relevant Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as
provided in this Section. A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing,
and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued, or to Acceptance Borrowings, which are subject to Section 2.04.

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

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

 58 








 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) the Type of the resulting Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect
to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest
Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Applicable Agent shall advise each Lender holding a Loan to which such
request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the relevant
Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest
Period, such Borrowing shall (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in US Dollars by the Company under the US Tranche or the Canadian Tranche, be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of any other Eurocurrency
Borrowing, be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing borrowed by the Company may be converted to or continued at the end of the then current Interest Period as
a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall (A) in the case of such a Borrowing by the Company under the US Tranche or the Canadian Tranche, be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto and (B) in the case of any other Eurocurrency Borrowing, be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the US Tranche Term Loan
Commitments shall terminate at 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. The Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced in accordance with the terms and
conditions of Section 2.12 and 2.19(f). 
 (b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Revolving Commitments of any Tranche; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments of any Tranche shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple for a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing
denominated in US Dollars and not less than the Borrowing Minimum for a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the US Tranche Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to
any concurrent prepayment of the US Tranche Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Commitments, (iii) the Company shall not terminate or
reduce the Canadian Tranche Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Canadian Tranche Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the aggregate Canadian Tranche Exposures would exceed the aggregate Canadian
Tranche Commitments, and (iv) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the UK Tranche Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the UK Tranche Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the aggregate UK
Tranche Exposures would exceed the aggregate UK Tranche Commitments. 
  

 59 








 (c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
the Revolving Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying the effective date of such election. Each notice delivered by the
Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which
case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.
Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class. 
 (d) At 12:00 a.m., New York City time, on (i) December 16, 2009 (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Supermajority Lenders and the Company) or (ii) if the Recapitalization
Transaction shall have been consummated prior to December 16, 2009 (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Supermajority Lenders and the Company), on January 1, 2012 (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Supermajority
Lenders and the Company but in no event to be later than the Maturity Date), the Revolving Commitments shall be automatically and irrevocably reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the Aggregate Revolver Reserve Amount. 
 SECTION 2.10. [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) (i) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Applicable Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders the
then unpaid principal amount of each Borrowing of such Borrower and all other Obligations of such Borrower on the Maturity Date; and (ii) the Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such
Swingline Loan is made, provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made under a Tranche, the applicable Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding under such Tranche. Each Borrower agrees to repay the principal
amount of each Loan made to such Borrower and the accrued interest thereon in the currency of such Loan. Each Canadian Borrower agrees to make all payments required with respect to Acceptances in accordance with Section 2.04. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to
such Lender resulting from each Loan and Acceptance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan and Acceptance made
hereunder, the Class, Type and currency thereof and the Interest Period (or, in the case of an Acceptance, the maturity date) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from
each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by any Agent hereunder for the accounts of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  

 60 








 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it to any Borrower be evidenced
by a promissory note. In such event, the relevant Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a
form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in
such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.12. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Any Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty (other than break funding payments pursuant to
Section 2.17), to prepay any Borrowing (other than an Acceptance Borrowing) in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section, in a minimum amount equal to (i) $1,000,000 or any integral
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of any ABR Borrowing, Eurocurrency Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, (ii) £500,000 or any integral multiple of £500,000 in excess thereof in the case of
any Eurocurrency Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing denominated in Pounds Sterling, (iii) €1,000,000 or any integral multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof in the case of any Eurocurrency Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing denominated in
Euro or (iv) C$1,000,000 or any integral multiple of C$500,000 in excess thereof in the case of any Borrowing under the Canadian Tranche denominated in Canadian Dollars. Any voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be made in the following
order: first, to New Block Loans, if any, second, to Existing Block Loans, if any, and third, to Revolving Loans outstanding which are not New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans (in each case without a corresponding permanent
reduction of the Revolving Commitments at such time unless otherwise specified herein). 
 (b) In the event and on such occasion
that (i) the sum of the US Tranche Revolving Exposures exceeds the total US Tranche Revolving Commitments, (ii) the sum of the Canadian Tranche Exposures exceeds the total Canadian Tranche Commitments or (iii) the sum of the UK
Tranche Exposures exceeds the total UK Tranche Commitments, the Borrowers under the applicable Tranche shall prepay Revolving Borrowings (other than Acceptance Borrowings) or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding in such
Tranche, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(j), in the case of the US Tranche, or deposit cash collateral in an account with the Canadian Agent, in the case of the Canadian Tranche) in
an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that if such excess arises solely as a result of currency rate fluctuations and such excess under any Tranche is not greater than 5% of the total Commitments under such Tranche, such
prepayment or deposit, as the case may be, shall not be required. The Applicable Agent shall make the calculations described in this clause (b) on each Computation Date. 
 (c) Prior to any optional prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall, subject to the terms of clause (a) above,
select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section. 
 (d) The applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Applicable Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any voluntary prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three Business Days before the date of such prepayment, (ii) in
the case of a Canadian Base Rate

  

 61 








 
Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, one Business Day before the date of such prepayment, and (iii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan, not later than
12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of
optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with
Section 2.09(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Applicable Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case
of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to
the extent required by Section 2.14 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.17. 
 (e) On and after
the Amendment No. 12 Effective Date, in the event and on each occasion that any Net Cash Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Company shall, within
three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 2.12(f) (i) and (l), as applicable, prepay the Obligations in the following order in an aggregate amount equal to the
Applicable Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds (in each case, without a permanent commitment reduction unless expressly stated below): 
 (i) first, prepay Permitted Interim Loans which are outstanding, if any, 
 (ii) second, prepay New Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit issued in respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if any, 
 (iii) third, prepay Existing Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit issued in respect of the Existing
Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if any (with a concurrent permanent reduction of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount, and the New Revolver Reserve Amount shall be increased by the amount of such prepayment (or cash
collateralization) at such time), and 
 (iv) fourth, prepay Revolving Loans which are not New Block Loans
or Existing Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit which were not issued in respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount or in respect of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if any (with the amount of Revolving
Commitments available under such unblocked portion of the facility being decreased and the New Revolver Reserve Amount being increased in like amount). 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Company Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds referred to in this clause (e) shall not be retained by the Company, but shall instead be used to prepay
(without a corresponding commitment reduction) Revolving Loans which are not New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit which were not issued in respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount or in respect of the
Existing Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding at such time. 
 (f) The Company shall prepay the Obligations on the
date that is three (3) Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the immediately preceding fiscal year are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 or (ii) the
date on which such annual audited financial statements were required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01, in an amount

  

 62 








 
equal to (x) 50% of the Company’s Excess Cash Flow for such immediately preceding fiscal year, minus (y) any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans, the Revolving Loans
and/or Swing line Loans (but only to the extent that, in the case of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans, such prepayments were accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments) (the “Cash Flow
Repayment Amount”), with the first such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) required to be made by the Company in 2010 in respect of the Company’s Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year of the Company ending
December 31, 2009. Any such prepayments of the Obligations required under this Section 2.12(f) shall be in an amount equal to the Cash Flow Repayment Amount and shall be applied in the following order: 
 (i) first, prepay Permitted Interim Loans which are outstanding, if any, 
 (ii) second, prepay New Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit issued in respect of the New Revolver
Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if any, 
 (iii) third, prepay Existing Block Loans (or cash
collateralize Letters of Credit issued in respect of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if any (with a concurrent permanent reduction of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount, and the New Revolver Reserve Amount shall be
increased by the amount of such prepayment (or cash collateralization) at such time), and 
 (iv) fourth,
prepay Revolving Loans which are not New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit which were not issued in respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount or in respect of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount) which
are outstanding, if any (with the amount of Revolving Commitments available under such unblocked portion of the facility being decreased and the New Revolver Reserve Amount being increased in like amount). 
 (g) To the extent any amounts are payable pursuant to Sections 2.12(f) or (i), any such prepayments of such Loans (i) shall first
prepay ABR Loans and then prepay Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) shall include, unless interest is then being deferred pursuant to Section 2.14(d), accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Loans (provided that Deferred Interest shall be
payable only to the extent required by Section 2.23). 
 (h) If (a) on the close of business on any Business Day on
which any Permitted Interim Loans shall be outstanding, Unrestricted Cash exceeds $100,000,000 (such excess the “Daily Cash Permitted Interim Loan Excess Amount”) (and has also exceeded $100,000,000 for the previous two
(2) Business Days), then, on the next succeeding Business Day, the Company shall make a prepayment of the outstanding Revolving Loans (outstanding Permitted Interim Loans, if any, to be prepaid first) in an amount equal to such Daily Cash
Permitted Interim Loan Excess Amount (without a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments at such time), or (b) on the close of business on any Business Day on which clause (h)(a) above shall not apply, Unrestricted
Cash exceeds $125,000,000 (such excess the “Daily Cash Excess Amount”) (and has also exceeded $125,000,000 for the previous two (2) Business Days), then, on the next succeeding Business Day, the Company shall make a prepayment
of the outstanding Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such Daily Cash Excess Amount. Any such prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be made in the following order: first, to Permitted Interim Loans, if any second, to New Block Loans,
if any, third, to Existing Block Loans, if any, and fourth, to Revolving Loans outstanding which are not New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans (in each case without a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments at
such time). 
  

 63 








 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.12, upon the
consummation of the Permitted Disposition, the Company shall make a prepayment in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom first to prepay the outstanding Existing Block Loans (outstanding Permitted Interim Loans, if any, to
be prepaid first), if any, and second to prepay Revolving Loans which are not New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans (or cash collateralize Letters of Credit which were not issued in respect of the New Revolver Reserve Amount or in respect
of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount) which are outstanding, if any (with the amount of Revolving Commitments available under such unblocked portion of the facility being decreased in like amount), and the New Revolver Reserve Amount shall be
increased by an amount equal to such prepayments at such time. 
 (j) On the Amendment No. 7 Effective Date, the Company
shall make a prepayment of the outstanding Revolving Loans (without a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments at such time) in an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount withdrawn from the Escrow Account on or after the
Amendment No. 7 Effective Date minus (ii) $3,571,405; provided that the entire amount of such $3,571,405 must be used by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to make a prepayment of the Specified Pension Fund Obligations on or before
June 30, 2009 (such prepayment, the “Allowed Pension Fund Prepayment”). 
 (k) If, on the close of
business on any Business Day, (i) the Interim Loan Sweep Amount is positive (and has also been positive for the previous two (2) Business Days) and (ii) any Permitted Interim Loans are outstanding, then on the next succeeding Business
Day, the Company shall make a prepayment of such Permitted Interim Loans in an amount equal to such positive amount on such Business Day (without a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments at such time). 
 (l) If, on the close of business on any Business Day, Liquidity exceeds $250,000,000 (such excess amount, the “Liquidity Excess
Amount”): 
 (i) as a result of the receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash
Proceeds from Asset Sales and/or the existence of any Excess Cash Flow amounts, in each case at such time, then, subject to the proviso below, the Company shall make a prepayment of the Obligations in an amount equal to such Liquidity Excess Amount
for application by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19(f); or 
 (ii)
other than as a result of the events described in the foregoing clause (i), then, subject to the proviso below, (x) the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced (first reducing the New Revolver Reserve Amount and then the Existing
Revolver Reserve Amount) by an amount equal to such excess without any repayment in cash by the Company (unless any such reduction of the Revolving Commitments requires a concurrent repayment of Revolving Loans) and (y) thereafter, if the New
Revolver Reserve Amount and the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount both equal $0, then the Company shall make a prepayment of the Obligations in an amount equal to such Liquidity Excess Amount for application by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.19(f); 
 provided that the Liquidity Excess Amount shall be deemed to be comprised
first of amounts resulting from events described in clause (i) above (Excess Cash Flow amounts and then Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales) and thereafter amounts resulting from events described in clause (ii) above, and, to the extent
that the Liquidity Excess Amount shall exist as a result of both events described in clause (i) above and clause (ii) above, then the Liquidity Excess Amount shall be applied as follows: 
 (1) Excess Cash Flow Amounts shall be applied in accordance with clause (i) above until no Liquidity Excess Amount
remains; 
  

 64 








 (2) if any Liquidity Excess Amount remains, the Applicable Prepayment
Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales shall be applied in accordance with clause (i) above until no Liquidity Excess Amount remains; 
 (3) if any Liquidity Excess Amount remains, the Company Prepayment Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales shall be applied in accordance with clause (ii) above until no Liquidity Excess
Amount remains; and 
 (4) if any Liquidity Excess Amount remains, such remaining Liquidity Excess Amount shall
be reduced in accordance with clause (ii) above until no Liquidity Excess Amount remains. 
 SECTION 2.13. Fees.
(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each US Tranche Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the US Tranche Available Revolving Commitment of such US
Tranche Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such US Tranche Revolving Commitment terminates; provided that, if such US Tranche Lender continues to have any US Tranche Revolving

excluding the date on which such Canadian Tranche Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Canadian Tranche Lender continues to have any Canadian Tranche Exposure after its Canadian Tranche Commitment terminates, then such commitment fee
shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Canadian Tranche Lender’s Canadian Tranche Exposure to but excluding the date on which such Canadian Tranche Lender ceases to have any Canadian Tranche Exposure. The Company and the UK
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the UK Agent for the account of each UK Tranche Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the UK Tranche Available Commitment of such UK Tranche Lender
during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such UK Tranche Commitment terminates; provided that, if such UK Tranche Lender continues to have any UK Tranche Exposure after its UK Tranche

Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on (i) prior to the date of the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the last day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on and after the date of the
consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the last day of each month (each such date, a “Commitment Fee Payment Date”) and, in each case, on the date on which the applicable Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any commitment fees accruing after the date on which the applicable Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Any payment required to be made pursuant to this paragraph (a) by the Company to the Canadian Agent or the UK
Agent shall be made to the Administrative Agent, as a sub-agent for the Canadian Agent or the UK Agent, as applicable, in New York, New York for the

  

 65 








 
account of each Canadian Tranche Lender or each UK Tranche Lender, respectively. For purposes of computing the average daily amount of any LC Exposure for any period under this
Section 2.13(a), the average daily amount of the Alternative Currency LC Exposure for such period shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the average daily balance of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (expressed in the currency in
which such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is denominated) by (ii) the Exchange Rate for each such Alternative Currency in effect on the last Business Day of such period or by such other reasonable method that the Administrative Agent
deems appropriate. 
 (x) Subject to the succeeding clause (y), commitment fees accrued through and including the
last day of each calendar month shall be payable on each Commitment Fee Payment Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. 
 (y) Solely with respect to a Deferring Lender, on
any: 
 (i) Commitment Fee Payment Date following the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction and the
date that the Specified Pension Fund Deferral Transaction Amendment shall be fully executed and effective (A) occurring in 2009 or 2010 until the occurrence of any Deferral Termination Event or a Deferral Suspension Event, the Company shall not
be required to make a cash payment of accrued commitment fees owing to such Deferring Lender on such Commitment Fee Payment Date but such commitment fees shall instead be payable in accordance with clause (y)(ii) below, and (B) occurring on or
after January 1, 2011 and prior to the Deferred Payment Termination Date, the Company shall pay to such Deferring Lender in cash in respect of any accrued and unpaid commitment fees that become due on such Commitment Fee Payment Date, solely to
the extent that the Available Interest Payment Amount (determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Commitment Fee Payment Date giving pro forma effect to the cash payment of all such commitment fees (and participation fees
pursuant to Section 2.13(b) and interest pursuant to Section 2.14(d)) due and payable on such Commitment Fee Payment Date) exceeds $150,000,000, the full amount of such accrued and unpaid commitment fees; and

been deferred pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.13(a)(y) prior to such date, the Company shall pay to such Deferring Lender the lesser of (1) the Available Deferred Interest and Fee Amount (determined as of the Business Day
immediately preceding the relevant date) and (2) the aggregate amount of such accrued and unpaid commitment fees that have been deferred pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.13(a)(y) prior to such date. Such Available Deferred Interest
and Fee Amount shall be applied ratably to the accrued and unpaid commitment fees, accrued and unpaid participation fees and accrued and unpaid interest, in each case deferred prior to such date in accordance with this Section 2.13(a)(y),
Section 2.13(b)(y) and Section 2.14(d). 
 As of the date that any Deferral Termination Event occurs, the Company shall
have no further right to defer any commitment fees hereunder (or any participation fees under Section 2.13(b) or any interest under Section 2.14(d)) after such date unless the Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the continuation of
such deferral. 
 As of the date that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs, the Company shall have no further right to defer any
commitment fees hereunder (or any participation fees under Section 2.13(b) or any interest under Section 2.14(d)) after such date unless the

  

 66 








 
Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the continuation of such deferral; provided that all Deferred Commitment Fees (and all Deferred Participation Fees and Deferred Interest) shall
not become immediately due and payable on the date that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs solely as the result of the occurrence of a Deferral Suspension Event unless otherwise required herein. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a cash payment of the commitment fees due hereunder to a Deferring Lender is not required under
this Section 2.13(a), such cash payment shall be deferred but shall in no event be (or be deemed to be) forgiven, excused, reduced or waived, and all accrued and unpaid Deferred Commitment Fees shall be due and payable in full in cash in
accordance with Section 2.23, and, upon the occurrence of the Deferred Payment Termination Date no Deferring Lender shall be under any obligation under this Agreement to defer the cash payment of any further commitment fees owing to such Lender
on or after the Deferred Payment Termination Date. 
 (b) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily
amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee to be agreed upon by the Company and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing
of drawings thereunder. 
 (x) Subject to the succeeding clause (y), participation fees and fronting fees accrued
through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be payable on (i) prior to the date of the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the last day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on and after the
date of the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, the last day of each month (each such date, a “LC Fee Payment Date”); provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. 
 (y) Solely with respect to a Deferring Lender, on any: 
 (i) LC
Fee Payment Date following the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction and the date that the Specified Pension Fund Deferral Transaction Amendment shall be fully executed and effective (A) occurring in 2009 or 2010 until the occurrence
of any Deferral Termination Event or a Deferral Suspension Event, the Company shall not be required to make a cash payment of accrued participation fees owing to such Deferring Lender on such LC Fee Payment Date (but shall pay any accrued and unpaid
fronting fees owing to the applicable Issuing Bank) but such participation fees shall instead be payable in accordance with clause (y)(ii) below, and (B) occurring on or after January 1, 2011 and prior to the Deferred Payment Termination
Date, the Company shall pay to such Deferring Lender in cash in respect of any accrued and unpaid participation fees that become due on such LC Fee Payment Date, solely

  

 67 








 
to the extent that the Available Interest Payment Amount (determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant LC Fee Payment Date giving pro forma effect to the cash payment of
all such participation fees (and commitment fees pursuant to Section 2.13(b) and interest pursuant to Section 2.14(d)) due and payable on such LC Fee Payment Date) exceeds $150,000,000, the full amount of such accrued and unpaid
participation fees; and 
 (ii) Business Day on and after January 1, 2011, in respect of
all other accrued and unpaid participation fees that have been deferred pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.13(b)(y) prior to such date, the Company shall pay to such Deferring Lender the lesser of (1) the Available Deferred Interest
and Fee Amount (determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant date) and (2) the aggregate amount of such accrued and unpaid participation fees that have been deferred pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.13(b)(y)
prior to such date. Such Available Deferred Interest and Fee Amount shall be applied ratably to the accrued and unpaid participation fees, accrued and unpaid commitment fees and accrued and unpaid interest, in each case deferred prior to such date
in accordance with this Section 2.13(b)(y), Section 2.13(a)(y) and Section 2.14(d). 
 As of the date that any
Deferral Termination Event occurs, the Company shall have no further right to defer any participation fees hereunder (or any commitment fees under Section 2.13(a) or any interest under Section 2.14(d)) after such date unless the
Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the continuation of such deferral. 
 As of the date that any Deferral Suspension
Event occurs, the Company shall have no further right to defer any participation fees hereunder (or any commitment fees under Section 2.13(a) or any interest under Section 2.14(d)) after such date unless the Supermajority Lenders shall
have agreed to the continuation of such deferral; provided that all Deferred Participation Fees (and all Deferred Commitment Fees and Deferred Interest) shall not become immediately due and payable on the date that any Deferral Suspension
Event occurs solely as the result of the occurrence of a Deferral Suspension Event unless otherwise required herein. 
 For the
avoidance of doubt, to the extent a cash payment of the participation fees due hereunder to a Deferring Lender is not required under this Section 2.13(b), such cash payment shall be deferred but shall in no event be (or be deemed to be)
forgiven, excused, reduced or waived, and all accrued and unpaid Deferred Participation Fees shall be due and payable in full in cash in accordance with Section 2.23, and, upon the occurrence of the Deferred Payment Termination Date no
Deferring Lender shall be under any obligation under this Agreement to defer the cash payment of any further participation fees owing to such Lender on or after the Deferred Payment Termination Date. 
 Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees
and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing the average daily amount of any LC
Exposure for any period under this Section 2.13(b), the average daily amount of the Alternative Currency LC Exposure for such period shall be calculated as set forth in paragraph (a) above. 
  

 68 








 (c) Each Canadian Borrower shall pay to each Canadian Tranche Lender a Stamping Fee on the
date of the relevant Borrowing with respect to each Draft issued by such Canadian Borrower and accepted by such Canadian Tranche Lender calculated and payable at the time and in the manner specified in Section 2.04. Each Stamping Fee and CDOR
BA Rate payable on or in respect of Acceptances is expressed on the basis of a 365 day year. 
 (d) The Company agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent. The Company and the Canadian Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the
Canadian Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the Canadian Agent. The Company and the UK Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the UK Agent, for its own
account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the UK Agent. 
 (e) The
Company shall, on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2011 (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Supermajority Lenders and the Company but in no event to be later than the Maturity Date) and (ii) the date of the occurrence of any
Deferral Termination Event and in accordance with Section 2.23, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Deferring Lender the Amendment No. 12 Fee. The Amendment No. 12 Fee shall be fully earned as of the Amendment
No. 12 Effective Date. 
 (f) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to
the Applicable Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

 SECTION 2.14. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (other than each US Tranche Swingline Loan)
shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. The Loans comprising each Canadian Base Rate Borrowing (including each Canadian Tranche Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Canadian Base Rate. US Tranche
Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the US Swingline Rate. UK Tranche Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the UK Swingline Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Revolving
Loans plus the Mandatory Cost. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing by the Company under the US
Tranche or the Canadian Tranche shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing by a UK Borrower or the Company
under the UK Tranche shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period then in effect for such Borrowing (or, if greater, 3.50%) plus the Applicable Rate plus the Mandatory Cost. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Article
VII the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Company (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 11.02(b) requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to
changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Borrowing shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus 2% per annum, and (ii) the Letter of Credit participation fee provided for in Section 2.13(b) shall be
increased by 2% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of an Event of Default described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII, the interest rates set forth in clause (i) above and the increase in the Letter
of Credit participation fee set forth in clause (ii) above shall be applicable to all Borrowings and Letters of Credit without any election or action on the part of any Agent or any Lender. 
  

 69 








 (d) (x) Subject to the succeeding clause (y), accrued interest on each Loan shall be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the applicable Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.14 shall be payable on
demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan or a Canadian Base Rate Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid
shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on
the effective date of such conversion. 
 (y) Solely with respect to a Deferring Lender, on any: 
 (i) Interest Payment Date following the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction and the date that the Specified
Pension Fund Deferral Transaction Amendment shall be fully executed and effective (A) occurring in 2009 or 2010 until the occurrence of any Deferral Termination Event or a Deferral Suspension Event, the Company shall not be required to make a
cash payment of accrued interest owing to such Deferring Lender on such Interest Payment Date but such interest shall instead be payable in accordance with clause (y)(ii) below, and (B) occurring on or after January 1, 2011 and prior to
the Deferred Payment Termination Date, the Company shall pay to such Deferring Lender in cash in respect of any accrued and unpaid interest that becomes due on such Interest Payment Date, so long as the Available Interest Payment Amount (determined
as of the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date giving pro forma effect to the cash payment of all such interest (and commitment fees pursuant to Section 2.13(a) participation fees pursuant to
Section 2.13(b)) due and payable on such Interest Payment Date) exceeds $150,000,000, the full amount of such accrued and unpaid interest; and 
 (ii) Business Day on and after January 1, 2011, in respect of all other accrued and unpaid interest that has been deferred pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14(d)(y) prior to such date,
the Company shall pay to such Deferring Lender the lesser of (1) the Available Deferred Interest and Fee Amount (determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant date) and (2) the aggregate amount of such accrued and
unpaid interest that has been deferred pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14(d)(y) prior to such date. Such Available Deferred Interest and Fee Amount shall be applied ratably to the accrued and unpaid interest, accrued and unpaid
commitment fees and accrued and unpaid participation fees, in each case deferred prior to such date in accordance with this Section 2.14(d)(y), Section 2.13(a) and Section 2.13(b). 
 As of the date that any Deferral Termination Event occurs, the Company shall have no further right to defer any interest hereunder (or any
commitment fees under Section 2.13(a) or any participation fees under Section 2.13(b)) after such date unless the Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the continuation of such deferral. 
 As of the date that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs, the Company shall have no further right to defer any interest hereunder (or any
commitment fees under Section 2.13(a) or any participation fees under Section 2.13(b)) after such date unless the Supermajority Lenders shall have agreed to the continuation of such deferral; provided that all Deferred Interest (and
all Deferred Commitment Fees and Deferred Participation Fees) shall not become immediately due and payable on the date that any Deferral Suspension Event occurs solely as the result of the occurrence of a Deferral Suspension Event unless otherwise
required herein. 
  

 70 








 For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a cash payment of the interest due hereunder to a
Deferring Lender is not required under this Section 2.14(d), such cash payment shall be deferred but shall in no event be (or be deemed to be) forgiven, excused, reduced or waived, and all accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest shall be due and
payable in full in cash in accordance with Section 2.23, and, upon the occurrence of the Deferred Payment Termination Date no Deferring Lender shall be under any obligation under this Agreement to defer the cash payment of any further interest
owing to such Lender on or after the Deferred Payment Termination Date. 
 (e) Subject to Section 2.14(f), all interest
hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, by reference to the Canadian Base Rate or by
reference to the LIBO Rate when the applicable Eurocurrency Borrowing is denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number
of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Applicable Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. 
 (f) If and to the extent that the laws of Canada are applicable to interest, fees or other amounts
payable under this Agreement for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which interest or any fee calculated on the basis of a 360- or 365-day year is equivalent is the rate of interest or fee as determined herein
multiplied by the actual number of days in such year divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be. 
 (g) The principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. The rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. 
 (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if and to the extent that the laws of Canada are applicable to interest payable
under this Agreement, no interest on the credit advanced will be payable in excess of that permitted by the laws of Canada. If the effective annual rate of interest, calculated in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and
principles, would exceed 60% per annum (or such other rate as the Parliament of Canada may determine from time to time as the criminal rate) on the credit advanced under this Agreement, then (a) the amount of any charges for the use of
money, expenses, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith will be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess, (b) any remaining excess that has been paid will be credited towards repayment of the principal amount and
(c) any overpayment that may remain after such crediting will be returned forthwith on demand to the applicable Borrower. In this provision, the terms “interest”, “criminal rate” and “credit advanced” have the
meanings ascribed to them in Section 347 of the Criminal Code of Canada. 
 SECTION 2.15. Alternate Rate of
Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing in any currency: 
 (a) the
Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

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

 71 








 then the Applicable Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Applicable Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (i) any Interest Election
Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing by the Company under the US Tranche or the Canadian Tranche, as an ABR Borrowing or (B) if such Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing by the Company or a UK
Borrower under the UK Tranche, as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the UK Agent shall determine, after consultation with the UK Tranche Lenders, adequately reflects the costs to the UK Tranche Lenders of making or maintaining their
Loans, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing in such currency, unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Applicable Agent in writing prior to the date on which such Borrowing is requested to be made
that it wishes to revoke such Borrowing Request, (A) if such Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing by the Company under the US Tranche or the Canadian Tranche, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, and (B) if such Borrowing is
a Eurocurrency Borrowing by the Company or a UK Borrower under the UK Tranche, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the UK Agent shall determine adequately reflects the costs to the UK Tranche Lenders of
making or maintaining their Loans plus the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Revolving Loans plus the Mandatory Cost. 
 SECTION 2.16. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; or

 (ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank markets any other condition affecting this
Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing
Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
  


 72 








 (c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall
pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to
claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any
Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan to a Loan of a different Type or Interest Period other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan or to pay any amount owing in respect of any Acceptance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto
(regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment or deemed assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.20 or the CAM Exchange, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In
the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of
such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate such Lender would bid were it to bid,
at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations used by such Lender to determine such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
  

 73 








 SECTION 2.18. Taxes. Subject to Section 2.18A (which shall be deemed to be a
part of Section 2.18 for purposes of cross references to Section 2.18 in this Agreement) below in respect of any UK Borrower: 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that
if any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Applicable Agent or the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall
make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes related to such Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The relevant Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender or Issuing Bank, or by an Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of
a Lender or Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower under a Tranche in which such Lender participates is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding tax. In addition, each such Lender
agrees that it will deliver upon a Borrower’s request updated versions of the foregoing documents whenever they have become obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such other forms or documents as may be required in order
to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to continued exemption from or reduction of withholding tax; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to provide any documents or forms which it cannot deliver under
applicable law. 
 (f) Each Lender, on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder, will designate lending offices for the Loans to
be made by it (a “Facility Office”) such that, on such date, it will not be liable for (i) in the case of a US Tranche Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed by the United States of America (or any political subdivision
thereof) on payments by the Company from an office within such jurisdiction, (ii) in the case of a Canadian Tranche Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed (A) by Canada (or any political subdivision thereof) on payments by a Canadian
Borrower from an office within such jurisdiction or (B) by the United States of America (or any political subdivision thereof) on payments by the Company from an office within such jurisdiction, or (iii) in the case of a UK Tranche

  

 74 








 
Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed (A) by the United Kingdom (or any political subdivision thereof) on payments by a UK Borrower from an office within such jurisdiction or
(B) by the United States of America (or any political subdivision thereof) on payments by the Company from an office within such jurisdiction. If any Lender does not comply with this Section 2.18(e) or (f), the relevant Borrower shall have
no obligation to indemnify such Lender, or any relevant Agent or Issuing Bank for the account of such Lender, under this Section 2.18, provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be relieved of the foregoing indemnity obligation if the
Company or the applicable Borrower shall fail to comply with the requirements of Section 2.21(a)(ii). 
 (g) In cases in
which a Borrower makes a payment under this Agreement to a U.S. person with knowledge that such U.S. person is acting as an agent for a foreign person, such Borrower will not treat such payment as being made to a U.S. person for purposes of Treas.
Reg. § 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) (or a successor provision) without the express written consent of such U.S. person. 
 (h) If the
Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, and only to the extent that the
amount of such refund is both reasonably identifiable and quantifiable by such Lender without imposing on such Lender an unacceptable administrative burden); provided, that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it
deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person. 
 SECTION 2.18A. UK Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement: 
 (a) Definitions: 
 “Protected Party” means a UK Tranche Lender or UK Tranche Swingline Lender which is or will be subject to any liability or required to make any payment for or on account of UK Tax, in
relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of UK Tax to be received or receivable) under a Loan Document.

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

Lender or UK Tranche Swingline Lender shall pay an amount to the UK Borrower which that UK Tranche Lender or UK Tranche Swingline Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the
Tax Payment not been made by the UK Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.19. Payments Generally; Allocations of Proceeds; Pro Rata
Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of Acceptances or

  

 79 








 
LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or,
if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Applicable
Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Applicable Agent to the applicable account specified in Schedule 2.19 or, in any
such case, to such other account as the Applicable Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Company, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that
payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 11.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Applicable Agent shall distribute
any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under any Loan Document of principal or
interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all payments made in respect of Acceptances shall be made in Canadian Dollars; and all other payments hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made in US Dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided. Any payment required to be made by an Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if such Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the
necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by such Agent to make such payment. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Applicable Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans or amounts owing on Acceptances accepted by such Lender resulting in such Lender
receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans, participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans or Acceptances, as the case may be, and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans, participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and Acceptances of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans, and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and Acceptances;
provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans or Acceptances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under

  

 80 








 
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d)
Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from the relevant Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due for the account of all or certain of the Lenders or Issuing Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such
payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount
due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent, at a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with
banking industry practices on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by
it to any Agent pursuant to this Agreement, then the Agents may, in their discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by them for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations to the Agents until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 (f) In the event that the Administrative
Agent shall receive any proceeds of Collateral (i) not constituting a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Company or as otherwise specified in
Section 2.12) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or
expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks from any Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations, Swap Obligations, Amendment No. 12 Fees, commitment fees paid in
accordance with Section 2.13(a) (to the extent they are Deferred Commitment Fees) and participation fees in respect of Letters of Credit paid in accordance with Section 2.13(b) (to the extent that they are Deferred Participation Fees)),
second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from any Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations, Swap Obligations, Amendment No. 12 Fees, commitment fees paid in accordance with
Section 2.13(a) (to the extent they are Deferred Commitment Fees) and participation fees in respect of Letters of Credit paid in accordance with Section 2.13(b) (to the extent that they are Deferred Participation Fees), third, to
pay the Amendment No. 12 Fee to the Deferring Lenders ratably, fourth, to pay any Deferred Interest, Deferred Commitment Fees and Deferred Participation Fees to the Deferring Lenders ratably, fifth, to pay interest then accrued
and unpaid on the Permitted Interim Loans ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Permitted Interim Loans ratably, seventh, to pay interest then accrued and unpaid on New Block Loans, eighth, to prepay principal on New Block
Loans (with concurrent reduction of the New Revolver Reserve Amount whether or not any such New Block Loans are outstanding at such time), ninth, to pay interest then accrued and unpaid on Existing Block Loans, tenth, to prepay
principal on Existing Block Loans (with concurrent reduction of the Existing Revolver Reserve Amount, whether or not any such Existing Block Loans are outstanding at such time, but only to the extent that the amount of money to be applied to this
clause tenth exceeds the amount by which the New Revolver Reserve Amount was reduced by application of such funds to the preceding clause eighth), eleventh, to pay interest then accrued and unpaid on the Loans (other than Permitted Interim
Loans, New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans) ratably, twelfth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than Permitted Interim Loans, New Block Loans or Existing Block Loans) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and to cash collateralize all
outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms of Section 2.06(j) ratably, thirteenth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services

  

 81 








 
Obligations and Swap Obligations, and fourteenth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Company, or unless an Event of Default is in existence, none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurocurrency Loan of a Class,
except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurocurrency Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any event, the Borrowers shall
pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.17. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any
portion of the Secured Obligations. 
 SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a US
Tranche Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and Acceptances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result
in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION 2.21. Termination of Subsidiary Borrowers. No Borrowing
Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Canadian Borrower or UK Borrower at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Canadian Borrower or UK Borrower, as applicable, shall be outstanding hereunder or such Canadian
Borrower shall have any obligation with respect to any outstanding Acceptance, provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate the right of such Canadian Borrower or UK Borrower, as applicable, to make
further Borrowings under this Agreement. If at any time any Canadian Borrower or UK Borrower ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, then the Company shall immediately deliver a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Borrower, and
such Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder

  

 82 








 
thereafter, and, such Borrower (or the Company, on behalf of such Borrower) shall repay all outstanding principal and interest on any Loan and all fees and other amounts owing by it under this
Agreement concurrently with the delivery of such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination. 
 SECTION 2.22. Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Company shall within one
(1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (i) prepay such Swingline Exposure or, if agreed by the Swingline Lender, cash collateralize the Swingline Exposure of the Defaulting Lender on terms reasonably satisfactory to
the Swingline Lender and (ii) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; and 
 (b) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase
any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.22(a). 
 SECTION 2.23. Payment of Deferred Amounts. Upon the occurrence of a Deferral Termination Event, all Deferred Amounts shall be due and payable at the direction of the Required Lenders (or in the
case of any Deferral Termination Event occurring by virtue of an Event of Default occurring under either clause (h) or clause (i) of Article VII immediately upon the occurrence of such Deferral Termination Event). For the avoidance
of doubt, all Deferred Amounts, to the extent not previously due and payable pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding sentence, shall be due and payable on December 31, 2011 (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Supermajority
Lenders and the Company but in no event to be later than the Maturity Date).

Subsidiary shall be required to be provided as Collateral to the extent the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine that, in light of the cost and expense associated therewith, such property would not provide material Collateral for the
benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations) to be subject at all times to first priority, perfected Liens in favor of or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations, subject in each case to
Liens permitted by Section 6.02; provided, however, that (i) the deadline for delivering signed Mortgages and related documentation in respect of the following specific parcels of real property are extended as follows: (a) in

Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that, on February 27, 2009, such requirement shall not be deemed

  

 98 








 
satisfied unless no more than 100 (or such greater number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of such certificates of title are not in the possession of the
Vehicle Title Custodian on February 27, 2009 (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); (iv) as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries

any necessary collateral agent and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 4.01, as applicable), which may be required by law or which the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of the Company. It is understood and agreed that
the grant of any request by the Company’s for any additional extensions under Section 5.10(a) by the Administrative Agent is expressly conditioned on the Company and its Subsidiaries continued use of commercially reasonable efforts to
negotiate all relevant legal documentation in a prompt and timely manner as well as to provide any and all reasonably requested signatures, certificates, documents, items, or other materials in respect of any of the foregoing to the Administrative

notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Company will cause such assets to be subject to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and will take, and cause the other applicable Subsidiaries to take,
such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (b) of this Section, all at the expense of the Company. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing neither (1) YRRFC or any other Receivables Entity nor (2) Subsidiaries formed for the purpose of
providing insurance primarily to the Company and its Subsidiaries and the activities contemplated by Section 5.13, provided that such Subsidiaries carry on no other business other than providing such insurance and performing activities
related thereto, in either case, shall be required to grant a security interest in any of its assets, so long as, in the case of YRRFC or any other Receivables Entity, the Permitted Receivables Facility shall remain outstanding.

perfection or priority caused by the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain possession of certificates delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents or to file UCC continuation statements, or, as to

case any such principal or face amount not so declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid may thereafter be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and
payable and the face amount of outstanding Acceptances required to be prepaid, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Secured Obligations accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers; and in case of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in

  

 116 








 
clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding and the face amount of all outstanding Acceptances,
together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
waived by the Borrowers. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent
under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 The Agents 
 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Canadian Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Canadian Agent as its
agent and authorizes the Canadian Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Canadian Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of
the UK Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the UK Agent as its agent and authorizes the UK Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the UK Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 
 The Agents shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in
writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no
Agent shall have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates
in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided
in Section 11.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and no
Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,

  

 117 








 
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the
Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. 
 Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the
proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Each Agent may perform
any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks (in the case of the Administrative Agent) and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (in the case of a successor Administrative Agent) and in consultation with the Company, appoint a successor Agent, which, in the case of the
Administrative Agent shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank; in the case of the Canadian Agent, shall be a bank with an office in Toronto, Canada, or an Affiliate of any such bank; and in the case of
the UK Agent, shall be a bank with an office in London, England, or an Affiliate of any such bank. The appointment of a successor Canadian Agent or UK Agent shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by any Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between such Borrower and such successor. After an
Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger, any Bookrunner, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger, any Bookrunner, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder. 
  

 118 








 None of the Arrangers, the Bookrunners or any Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent, if
any, identified as such in this Agreement, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent, Canadian Agent, UK Agent, a Lender or an
Issuing Bank hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Arrangers, the Bookrunners or the Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents, if any, shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. 
 Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender, in accordance with Section 11.08, the proceeds of which are applied
in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower or with respect to any Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders
or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, with the consent of the Administrative Agent. 
 The
Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent
shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Holders of Secured Obligations within the meaning of the
term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees
that no Holder of Secured Obligations (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may
be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the
Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a
Lien on such Collateral in favor of or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) as described in Section 11.15(b), (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative
Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, or consented to in writing by the
Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Company to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the
Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or
transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any
obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured

  

 119 








 
Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by the Company or any Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds
of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 
 Each Borrower, on its behalf and on behalf of
its Subsidiaries, and each Lender, on its behalf and on the behalf of its affiliated Holders of Secured Obligations, hereby irrevocably constitute the Administrative Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de
pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by each Borrower or any Subsidiary on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of
any Borrower or any Subsidiary under any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness issued by any Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement, and agree that the Administrative Agent may act as the bondholder and mandatary
with respect to any bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness that may be issued by any Borrower or any Subsidiary and pledged in favor of the Holders of Secured Obligations in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent may acquire and be the holder of any bond issued by any Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with this
Agreement (i.e., the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond issued under any deed of hypothec by any Borrower or any Subsidiary). 
 The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any documents necessary or appropriate to create and perfect the rights of pledge for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations
including a right of pledge with respect to the entitlements to profits, the balance left after winding up and the voting rights of the Company as ultimate parent of any subsidiary of the Company which is organized under the laws of the Netherlands
and the Equity Interests of which are pledged in connection herewith (a “Dutch Pledge”). Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree with the creation
of parallel debt obligations of the Company or any relevant Subsidiary as will be described in any Dutch Pledge (the “Parallel Debt”), including that any payment received by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Parallel Debt
will conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or similar laws of general application be deemed a satisfaction of a
pro rata portion of the corresponding amounts of the Secured Obligations, and any payment to the Holders of Secured Obligations in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or
reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or similar laws of general application be deemed as satisfaction of the corresponding amount of the Parallel Debt. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of a Dutch Pledge, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective until its rights under the Parallel Debt are assigned to the successor Administrative Agent. 
 Each Lender, on its behalf and on the behalf of its affiliated Holders of Secured Obligations, hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent,
in connection with the Company’s request for withdrawal of funds from the Escrow Account, to give written notice to the Escrow Agent under (and as defined in) the Escrow Account Agreement that the Escrow Release Conditions have been satisfied
pursuant to the terms hereof and that such applicable funds on deposit in the Escrow Account may be released to the Company. The Administrative Agent agrees to deliver the notice described in the previous sentence upon the satisfaction of the Escrow
Release Conditions pursuant to the terms hereof.

each such Swingline Loan outstanding on such date, (iii) each UK Tranche Lender shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the applicable Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(c))
participations in the Swingline Loans under the UK Tranche in an amount equal to such Lender’s UK Tranche Percentage of each such Swingline Loan outstanding on such date, (iv) each Canadian Tranche Lender shall immediately be deemed to

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

 121 








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

each Lender under such Tranche shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in US Dollars equal to such Lender’s Tranche Percentage of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not
already done so) such unreimbursed drawing, as applicable, together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an
ABR Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal to such undrawn face amount or unreimbursed drawing, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account (each, a “Reserve Account”) or accounts for each Lender
for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the
Lenders as provided above. For the purposes of this paragraph, the US Dollar Equivalent of each Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be the amount in US Dollars determined by the
Administrative Agent to be required in order for the Administrative Agent to purchase currency in the applicable Alternative Currency in an amount sufficient to enable it to deposit the actual amount of such participation in such undrawn Letter of
Credit in the applicable Alternative Currency in such Lender’s Reserve Account. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall be held in such
Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of
each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the LC Exposures, shall
be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Borrower and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it being agreed that the
reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.06. 
 (b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit under a Tranche, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank,
withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender under such Tranche any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver
such amounts to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under such Tranche under Section 2.06(d) (but not of the Company under Section 2.06(e)). In the event that any Lender shall default on its
obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 9.02, the applicable Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under
Section 2.06(d), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such

  

 122 








 
defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the Company’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 9.01. Each other Lender shall have a claim against such
defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event that such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount. 
 (c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from
the Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender. 
 (d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any
Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to the Administrative Agent, in the currency in which such drawing
is denominated, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment. 
 (e)
Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe
for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in customary, highly-rated, short-term investments reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender that has not withdrawn its amounts in its Reserve Account as provided in
paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in its Reserve Account and to retain such earnings
for its own account. 
 ARTICLE X  
 Guarantee 
 In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the other
Borrowers hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of such other Borrowers. The Company further agrees that the due and
punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such
Obligation. 
 The Company waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations,
and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender to assert any claim or demand
or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or
modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or agreement; (d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; or (e) any
other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any
right of the Company to subrogation. 
  

 123 








 The Company further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment
when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by
any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person. 
 The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and
shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations
or otherwise (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations). 
 The Company further agrees that its
obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other
right which any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender may have at law or in equity against the Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any other Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the applicable Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender
in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in a currency
other than US Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any Change in Law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligation in such
currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender, disadvantageous to such Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender in any material respect, then, at the election of the Administrative
Agent, the Company shall make payment of such Obligation in US Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify each Agent,
Issuing Bank and Lender against any losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment. 
 Upon payment by the Company of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Company against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be
subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations owed by such Borrower to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders. 
 Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of the Company hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations.

 125 








 SECTION 11.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan,
acceptance of a Draft or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall;

 (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, Acceptance or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce
any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
 (iii) postpone the
date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any amount in respect of any Acceptance, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it being understood that waiver of a mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a
postponement or waiver of a scheduled payment or date of expiration), 
 (iv) change Section 2.19(b) or
(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it being understood that any increase in the total US Tranche Commitments, Canadian Tranche
Commitments or UK Tranche Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10 shall not be deemed to alter such pro rata sharing of payments), 
 (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document to reduce the number or percentage of Lenders stated therein
required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, 
 (vi) release the Company or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from, or limit or condition, its or their
obligations under Article X or the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement without the written consent of each Lender, 
  

 126 








 (vii) change any provisions of Article IX without the written consent of
each Lender affected thereby, or 
 (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its
terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Tranche differently than those of Lenders holding Loans of any other Tranche without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the
outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Tranche; 
 provided further that (A) no such agreement shall
amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as
the case may be, and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the US Tranche Lenders (but not the Canadian Tranche Lenders or the UK Tranche Lenders)
or the Canadian Tranche Lenders (but not the US Tranche Lenders or the UK Tranche Lenders) or the UK Tranche Lenders (but not the US Tranche Lenders or the Canadian Tranche Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Company and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Tranche of Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement solely for the purpose of effecting an increase in the total Commitments in any Tranche
pursuant to Section 2.10 may be entered into by the Company and any other relevant Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any other Applicable Agent, any Lender that has agreed to increase its Commitment in the relevant Tranche and any Person
that has agreed to become a Lender hereunder and to have a Commitment in the relevant Tranche. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrowers only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency. 

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

  

 127 








 
disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses of a custodian reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents to perfect the Liens on (and
monitor the ongoing status of and services related thereto) the rolling stock owned by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Vehicle Title Custodian”) in the same manner as set forth in Section 11.03(a) and
(f) of this Agreement. 
 (c) The Company shall indemnify each Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and
each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan,
Acceptance or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability arising out of
the operations or properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee (or any of its Related Parties) or to the extent that
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from any disputes solely among the Indemnitees and not involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (d) To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender
under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such; and provided further that payment of any amount by any Lender pursuant to this clause (d) shall not relieve the Company of its
obligation to pay such amount, and such Lender shall have a claim against the Company for such amount. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum (without duplication) of the
total Exposures and unused Commitments at the time. 
 (e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall
assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto (or its Related Parties), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan, Acceptance or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

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

 128 








 SECTION 11.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender
may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or
a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 
 (A) the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 
 (B)
the Administrative Agent; and 
 (C) each Issuing Bank, unless a Term Loan is being assigned. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans (and Acceptances, if applicable) of any Tranche, the amount of the Commitment or Loans (and Acceptances, if applicable) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as
of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000, or in the case of a Term Loan, $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent
otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall
not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Tranche of Commitments or Loans (and Acceptances, if applicable); 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent; 
 (D) the assignee, if it is not already a Lender under the applicable Tranche, hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders that, as of the date of such assignment, it will comply with
Section 2.18(e) and (f) with respect to withholding tax on payments by the Borrowers; and 
  

 129 








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

 For the purposes of this Section 11.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an
Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (ii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 11.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iii) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders,
and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans, face amount of Acceptances and principal amount of LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the other Agents, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (iv) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the
assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning

  

 130 








 
Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.19(d) or 11.03(d), the Administrative Agent
shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it and the Acceptances accepted by it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to
the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that
would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to
comply with Section 2.18(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply
to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 11.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan
Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, acceptance of any Drafts and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force

  

 131 








 
and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including any amount in respect
of any Acceptance) is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 11.03 and Article VIII shall survive and
remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, the Acceptances and the Commitments or the termination of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 SECTION 11.06. Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements
and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 11.08. Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of
each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Promptly upon the exercise of any set off rights by any Lender or its Affiliate, such Lender shall give notice
thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided that failure of such Lender to provide such notice shall in no way be deemed a breach under any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 SECTION 11.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be

  

 132 








 
heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be binding (subject to appeal as provided by applicable law) and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right
that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so,
any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.01, and
each of the Borrowers hereby appoints the Company as its agent for service of process. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 SECTION 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 11.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only,
are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be
disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) in connection with the Transactions, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (with, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prompt notice thereof to the Company), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to any Borrower

  

 133 








 
and its Swap Obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company; provided that, in the case of
information received from the Company after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 11.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 
 ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, THE LOAN PARTIES AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE COMPANY AND
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW. 

 SECTION 11.13. Conversion of Currencies. 
 (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it
may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately
preceding the day on which final judgment is given. 
 (b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any
party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is
stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable
Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency,

  

 134 








 
such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this
Section 11.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder. 
 SECTION 11.14. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Borrower
that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender
to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
 SECTION 11.15. Appointment for Perfection; Release of
Collateral. 
 (a) Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative
Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise
deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. 
 (b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably
authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on any Collateral (i) upon (A) the
termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable), (B) the termination or expiration of any Swap Agreements evidencing any of the Swap Obligations
or the substitution of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to any swap counterparty in respect thereof and (C) the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (or provision therefore in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuing Banks), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted under the Loan Documents or (iii) owned by a Domestic Loan Party upon release of such Domestic Loan Party from its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guaranty in connection with any such release permitted under the Loan Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon
(or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.
