 For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the
final paragraph of this Schedule: 
 “Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of the US-Borrower
delivered by the US-Borrower pursuant to this Agreement. 
 “Level I Status” exists at any date if, in any fiscal quarter of
the US-Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the average Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.0 to 1.00. 
 “Level
II Status” exists at any date if, in any fiscal quarter of the US-Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the US-Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the average Leverage Ratio is less than or
equal to 1.5 or 1.00. 
 “Level III Status” exists at any date if, in any fiscal quarter of the US-Borrower referred to in
the most recent Financials, (i) the US-Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) the average Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0. 
 “Level IV Status” exists at any date if, in any fiscal quarter of the US-Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials,
(i) the US-Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, and Level III Status and (ii) the average Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.0 to 1.0 but less than 3.0 to 1.0. 
 “Status” means, at any date of determination, whichever of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, or Level IV Status.

 The Applicable Margin set forth above shall be subject to adjustment (upwards or downwards, as appropriate) based on the
US-Borrower’s Status as at the end of each fiscal quarter in accordance with the table set forth above and computed with reference to the 

  

 - 9 - 








 
average Leverage Ratio during any such fiscal quarter and shall take effect upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of financial statements for the
US-Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of the fiscal quarter ended December 1, 2007. Prior to such delivery, the Applicable Margin shall be computed under the methods in effect prior to the effectiveness of the First Amendment to Revolving
Credit Agreement, dated November 29, 2007. The US-Borrower’s Status as at the last day of each fiscal quarter (which shall be used to compute the average Leverage Ratio) shall be determined from the then most recent Financials. The
numerator upon which the average Leverage Ratio will be calculated shall be based on the sum of daily outstandings for all Loans and Letters of Credit under the Agreement divided by the total number of days in the applicable quarter. The Leverage
Ratio shall be computed by dividing such numerator by Adjusted EBITDA calculated for the US-Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period of the trailing four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or most recently ended prior to any date of
determination. Any adjustment shall be effective commencing five (5) Business Days after the delivery to the Lenders of such Financials. In the event that the US-Borrower shall at any time fail to furnish to the Lenders such Financials
(together with a Compliance Certificate) within the time limitations specified by this Agreement, then the maximum Applicable Margin shall apply from the date of such failure until the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Financials (and
accompanying Compliance Certificate) are so delivered.
