(c) Upon receipt of any such Loan Notice from the Borrower (whether actual or deemed), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender having a Commitment in the applicable Tranche thereof.  Except as provided in paragraph (c)(ii) above with respect to Backdated Loans, each such Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 3:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the borrowing date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately to the Administrative Agent.  Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the Primary Account with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain on its books at its Toronto office, accounts and records evidencing the Loans made available to the Borrower by the Lenders under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall record therein the amount of such Loans, each payment of principal and interest made thereon, the currency thereof, and all other amounts becoming due to the Lenders under this Agreement, including commitment fees and all payments on account thereof.  Such accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent will constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, the date the Lenders made each Loan available to the Borrower and the amounts the Borrower has paid from time to time on account thereof.
3.Commitment Fees, etc.
  (a)   The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the following commitment fees for the period from and including the date hereof to the Termination Date applicable to such Lender, computed at the rate per annum listed on Schedule 2.3 on:
(i) the average daily C$ Equivalent amount of the Available Tranche A Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made (which amount shall be calculated and payable by the Borrower in Canadian Dollars); and
(ii) the average daily amount of the Available Tranche B Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made (which amount shall be calculated and payable by the Borrower in Canadian Dollars).
The commitment fees payable hereunder for the account of each Lender shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the fifth Business Day following the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
4.Termination or Reduction of Commitments
.  The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than two Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Tranche A Commitments and/or the Tranche B Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Tranche A Commitments and/or the Tranche B Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, (i) the Total Tranche A Loans would exceed the Total Tranche A Commitments then in effect or (ii) the Total Tranche B Loans would exceed the Total Tranche B Commitments then in effect.  Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to C$1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Tranche A Commitments or Tranche B Commitments, as applicable, then in effect.
5.Optional Prepayments
.  (a)   The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay LIBOR Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior thereto, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment; provided that if a LIBOR Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender under the relevant Tranche thereof.   If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments of LIBOR Loans which are Tranche A Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of US$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of US$100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of LIBOR Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, or C$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of C$100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of LIBOR Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars.  Partial prepayments of LIBOR Loans which are Tranche B Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of C$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of C$100,000 in excess thereof.
(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay CIBC Offered Rate Loans and Prime Rate Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m., Toronto time, on the date of such prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments of Prime Rate Loans which are Tranche A Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of US$5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof, in the case of Tranche A Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, or C$5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof, in the case of Tranche A Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars.

(b) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Overdraft Loans to the extent agreed upon between the Borrower and the relevant Lenders.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5, no prepayments of Tranche A Loans pursuant to this Section shall be permitted at such time as any Tranche B Loans or Overdraft Loans are outstanding.
6.Mandatory Prepayments
.  (a)   If a Change of Control occurs and the Administrative Agent, at the request or with the concurrence of the Required Lenders, provides the Borrower with written notice requesting the cancellation and repayment of all outstanding Commitments and Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall on or before the day which is 90 days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice repay all amounts due and outstanding hereunder, and the Commitments shall be automatically canceled on such 90th day.

(b) If, at any time, Tranche B Loans are made when the Available Tranche A Commitments are greater than zero, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, not later than the date which is three Business Days after such Tranche B Loans are made (unless the Available Tranche A Commitments shall have theretofore been reduced to, and remain, zero), prepay all then outstanding Tranche B Loans.
(c) If, at any time, the Total Tranche A Loans exceed the Total Tranche A Commitments, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately upon such determination by the Administrative Agent, prepay Tranche A Loans in an aggregate amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Tranche A Loans do not exceed the Total Tranche A Commitments (it being understood that the Borrower shall request Tranche A Loans only so long as, after giving effect thereto, the Total Tranche A Loans do not exceed the Total Tranche A Commitments).  
(d) If, at any time, the Total Tranche B Loans exceed the Total Tranche B Commitments, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately upon such determination by the Administrative Agent, prepay Tranche B Loans in an aggregate amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Tranche B Loans do not exceed the Total Tranche B Commitments (it being understood that the Borrower shall request Tranche B Loans only so long as, after giving effect thereto, the Total Tranche B Loans do not exceed the Total Tranche B Commitments).  
(e) Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be accompanied by a payment of the accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings of LIBOR Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the LIBOR Loans comprising each LIBOR Tranche shall be equal to the amounts set forth in Section 2.2(a) and (b) no more than ten LIBOR Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
8.Interest Rates and Payment Dates
.  (a)   Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Adjusted Rate for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin.
(a) Each CIBC Offered Rate Loan (other than a Backdated Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the CIBC Offered Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each Prime Rate Loan that is (i) a Tranche A Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the U.S. Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) a Tranche B Loan or an Overdraft Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Each Backdated Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum calculated as follows:  with respect to the portion of such Backdated Loan that is (i) equal to or less than C$10,000,000, the applicable rate shall be the CIBC Offered Rate from time to time in effect plus 0.40%, (ii) greater than C$10,000,000, but less than or equal to C$20,000,000, the applicable rate shall be the Prime Rate from time to time in effect and (iii) greater than C$20,000,000, the applicable rate shall be determined by the applicable Tranche B Lender on a case-by-case basis in its sole discretion, but in no event shall the interest rate so determined pursuant to this clause (iii) exceed the CIBC Offered Rate from time to time in effect plus 2.00%.
(d) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.0% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to such Loans plus 2.0% (or, in the case of any such overdue amount that does not relate to a particular Loan, (x) if such amount is payable in U.S. Dollars, the U.S. Prime Rate plus 2.0% or (y) if such amount is payable in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate plus 2.0%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non‐payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a LIBO Adjusted Rate.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Canadian Prime Rate, U.S. Prime Rate, CIBC Offered Rate or the LIBOR Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(a) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.8(a).
10.Inability to Determine Interest Rate
.  If prior to the first day of any Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Loan or the determination on any day of the CIBC Offered Rate to be applicable to any CIBC Offered Rate Loan:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Adjusted Rate or CIBC Offered Rate for such Interest Period or day, as the case may be, or
(b)  the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Tranche A Lenders or the Majority Tranche B Lenders, as the case may be, that the LIBO Adjusted Rate or CIBC Offered Rate determined or to be determined will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period or for such day, as the case may be, then
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given, any (i)(A) LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period and (B) CIBC Offered Rate Loans requested to be made on the requested borrowing date shall be made as Prime Rate Loans, under the applicable Tranche and (ii) outstanding LIBOR Loans or CIBC Offered Rate Loans shall be converted on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and on such date such notice is given, in the case of CIBC Offered Rate Loans, to Prime Rate Loans under the applicable Tranche; provided that (1) for purposes of subparagraph (i)(A) above, any Tranche A LIBOR Loans requested to be made in Canadian Dollars will be made in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to the US$ Equivalent of such requested borrowing and (2) for purposes of subparagraph (ii) above, any outstanding Tranche A LIBOR Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars will be converted or continued in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to the US$ Equivalent of such Tranche A LIBOR Loan.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans or CIBC Offered Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such but shall be made or continued as Prime Rate Loans.
11.Pro Rata Treatment and Payments
.  (a)   Except as set forth in Section 9.15, each borrowing by the Borrower from the Tranche A Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee payable to the Tranche A Lenders and any reduction of the Tranche A Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the relevant Lender's Percentages.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 9.15, each borrowing by the Borrower from the Tranche B Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee payable to the Tranche B Lenders and any reduction of the Tranche B Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the relevant Lender's Percentages.
(b) Except as set forth in Section 9.15, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Tranche A Loans or the Tranche B Loans shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to their respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.
(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 3:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds.  All such payments made with respect to the Tranche A Commitments or Tranche A Loans shall be payable in the Tranche A Available Currency in which the applicable Tranche A Loan is denominated, or, in the case of commitment fees, in Canadian Dollars, and all such payments made with respect to the Tranche B Commitments or Tranche B Loans shall be payable in Canadian Dollars.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a LIBOR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the borrowing date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average U.S. Prime Rate, in the case of a requested borrowing under the Tranche A Commitments, and the Canadian Prime Rate, in the case of a requested borrowing under the Tranche B Commitments, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender's share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average U.S. Prime Rate, in the case of a requested borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, or the daily average Canadian Prime Rate, in the case of a requested borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, on demand, from the Borrower.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average U.S. Prime Rate, in the case of a payment due in U.S. Dollars, or the daily average Canadian Prime Rate, in the case of a payment due in Canadian Dollars.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
12.Requirements of Law
.  (a)  If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan, CIBC Offered Rate Loan or Overdraft Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.13 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Adjusted Rate or CIBC Offered Rate; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans, CIBC Offered Rate Loans or Overdraft Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(a) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
(b) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
13.Taxes
.  (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document).  If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.
(a) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.  If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.
(c)  Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation).  In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender.  Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(d) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender's judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.
(e) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
14.Indemnity
.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such borrowing period at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
15.Renewal and Extension of Commitments
.  Unless the Commitments under a particular Tranche shall have been terminated in whole, or a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Termination Date may be extended on two occasions, in the manner set forth in this Section 2.15, in each case for a period of 364 days measured from the Termination Date then in effect.  If the Borrower wishes to request an extension of the Termination Date, it shall give notice to that effect to the Administrative Agent not less than 75 days nor more than 105 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of receipt of such request.  Each Lender shall endeavor to respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively (such response to be in the sole discretion of such Lender), by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent within 30 days of receipt of such request.  Subject to the execution by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lenders of a duly completed Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit I, the Termination Date applicable to the Commitments of each Lender so affirmatively notifying the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be extended for the period specified above; provided that no Termination Date of any Lender shall be extended unless (i) Tranche A Lenders constituting the Majority Tranche A Lenders shall have elected so to extend their Tranche A Commitments and (ii) Tranche B Lenders constituting the Majority Tranche B Lenders shall have elected so to extend their Tranche B Commitments.  Any Lender which does not give such notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have elected not to extend as requested, and the Commitments of each non-extending Lender shall terminate on the Termination Date determined without giving effect to such requested extension.  The Borrower, at its discretion, will have the right at any time pursuant to Section 9.15 to seek a substitute lender or lenders for any Lender which does not elect to extend its Commitments.
16.Right of Setoff in Excess Funds
.  In addition to the rights of the Lenders set forth in Section 9.7, in the event that the amount of the Loans (including any Overdraft Loans) relating to a particular Transaction Date exceeds the Borrower's obligation to provide funds to CIBC Merchants in respect of transactions processed by the Administrative Agent for the Borrower on such Transaction Date (the “Excess Funds”), the Lenders shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and appropriate and apply against such Excess Funds any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lenders or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
		
	SECTION 3. 
	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:
1.Financial Condition
.  The audited consolidated balance sheets of GPI as of May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2004 present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the respective entities covered as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended.  The consolidated balance sheet of GPI as of August 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Fiscal Quarter ending August 31, 2004, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the respective entities covered as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year‐end audit adjustments).  The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as of May 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2004 present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the respective entities covered as at such date and the consolidated results of their operations and consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004.  All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end adjustments and except for the absence of footnotes) applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).  No Loan Party has any material Guarantee obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this Section 3.1.  During the period from May 31, 2004 to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by any Loan Party of any material part of its business or property.
2.No Change
.  Since May 31, 2004, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.Existence; Compliance with Law
.  Each Loan Party (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations
.  Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder.  Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described on Schedule 3.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 3.17.  Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto.  This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
5.No Legal Bar
.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or material Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such material Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).  No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
6.Litigation
.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against any Loan Party or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
7.No Default
.  No Loan Party is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
8.Ownership of Property; Liens
.  Each Loan Party has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 6.3.
9.Intellectual Property
.  Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted.  No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim.  The use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect.
10.Taxes
.  Each Loan Party has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Loan Party); as of the Effective Date, no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.
11.Federal Regulations
.  No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board.  If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U‐1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.
12.ERISA
.  Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five‐year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code.  No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five‐year period.  The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount.  Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made.  No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.
13.Investment Company Act; Other Regulations
.  No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.
14.Subsidiaries
.  As of the Effective Date, (a) Schedule 3.14 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary of GPI and, as to each such Subsidiary of GPI, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or consultants (as described in GPI's 2005 Incentive Plan) or directors and directors' qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of GPI or any of its Subsidiary, except as created by the Loan Documents or the GPI Credit Facility.
15.Use of Proceeds
.  The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to finance advances made by the Borrower to CIBC Merchants in the ordinary course of its merchant card processing business and other Accounts Receivables arising from advances made in the ordinary course of business.  
16.Environmental Matters
.  Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:
(a)     the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by any Loan Party (the “Properties”) do not contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or constituted a violation of, or could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law;
(b)     no Loan Party has received or is aware of any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business operated by any Loan Party (the “Business”), nor does the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened;
(c)     Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law;
(d)     no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which any Loan Party is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business;
(e)     there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws; 
(f)     the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business; and
(g)     no Loan Party has assumed any liability of any other Person under Environmental Laws.
17.Security Documents
.  (a)  The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof.  When financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 3.17(a) in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.17(a), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person.
18.Solvency
.  Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith will be and will continue to be, Solvent.

	SECTION 8. 
	 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT


1.Appointment
.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
2.Delegation of Duties
.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys‐in‐fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in‐fact selected by it with reasonable care.
3.Exculpatory Provisions
.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in‐fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
4.Reliance by Administrative Agent
.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to GPI or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
5.Notice of Default
.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
6.Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders
.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in‐fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in‐fact or affiliates.
7.Indemnification
.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
8.The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity
.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent.  With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
9.Successor Administrative Agent
.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7(a) or Section 7(h) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
		
	SECTION 9.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
6.Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments
.  (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, except that (i) the Borrower may not 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 the 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.
(a) (i)  Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:
(A)the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and
(B)the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
(i) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans 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 US$5,000,000, with respect to Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, and C$5,000,000, with respect Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, in each case except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's interests under this Agreement or unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; and
(B)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 US$4,000.
For the purposes of this Section 9.6, the terms “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

(ii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, 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 obliga-tions 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 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.5).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.6 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 the 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 Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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.  
(iv) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, 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.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(b) (i)   Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 Commitments and the Loans owing to 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 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 9.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 9.7(a) as though it were a Lender.
(i) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13 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 Borrower's prior written consent.  Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.13(d).
(c) 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 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.
(d) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.
7.Adjustments; Set-off
.  (a)  Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set‐off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
8.Counterparts
.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
9.Severability
.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower, at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

15.Replacement of Lenders
.  If any Lender (i) demands payment of amounts pursuant to Sections 2.12 or 2.13 that exceed comparable amounts being demanded by the other Lenders in respect of the circumstances described in either such Section, (ii) elects not to extend its Commitments in response to a request pursuant to Section 2.1(c), or (iii) fails to comply with its obligation to make any Loan requested to be made by it hereunder, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, on 10 Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, (x) cause such Lender to (and such Lender shall) assign, pursuant to Section 9.6(c), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a financial institution designated by the Borrower that is willing to become a Lender, or (y) reduce such Lender's Commitment to zero (such that the Total Commitments are reduced by the amount of such Lender's Commitment).

.  On the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superceded in its entirety.

Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.
4.2.4    Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations
.  Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2.

Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
6.2.6    Reinstatement
.  The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
7.2.7    Payments

At any time and from time to time, upon the Administrative Agent's prior written request and at the expense of the Borrower, the Borrower shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables; provided that, unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to cause any such report to be furnished to the Administrative Agent at the Borrower's expense on more than one occasion during any calendar year.  
(a) (b)    The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes the Borrower to collect its Receivables, subject to the Administrative Agent's direction and control, and the Administrative Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by the Borrower, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by the Borrower in the exact form received, duly indorsed by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders only as provided in Section 6.4, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by the Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the Borrower.  Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
(b) (c)    At the Administrative Agent's prior written reasonable request, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or, at the Borrower's option, permit the Administrative Agent to review and copy, all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
2.6.2    Communications with Obligors; the Borrower Remains Liable
.  (a)  The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Administrative Agent's satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.
(a) (b)    Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.
(b) (c)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any Visa Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
3.6.3    Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent
.  In addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by the Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by the Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the Borrower, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by it, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Borrower (duly indorsed by it to the Administrative Agent, if required).  All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control.  All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by the Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.4; provided, that any income on such Proceeds shall be property of the Borrower to be applied to the Obligations as provided in Section 6.4.
4.6.4    Application of Proceeds
. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent's election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, in payment of the Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and any part of such funds which the Administrative Agent elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for the Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.  Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
5.6.5    Code and Other Remedies
.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower or any Guarantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  The Borrower further agrees, at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Borrower's premises or elsewhere.  The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower and each Guarantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
6.6.6    Deficiency
.  Each Guarantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

1.7.1    Administrative Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc

(i) (i)    in the name of the Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable whenever payable;
(ii) (ii)    pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv)    (1)  direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (7) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent's option and the Borrower's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Borrower might do.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(a) (b)    If the Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(b) (c)    The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the Borrower, shall be payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on demand.
(c) (d)    The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

.  The Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account.  Neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.  The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrower or any Guarantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

(a)    The Syndicated Credit Lenders and Syndicated Credit Agent acknowledge and agree that none of them shall at any time have or obtain any Consensual Lien on any of the Receivables Credit Collateral or the Receivable Credit Designated Funds, and that any Consensual Lien any of them may at any time obtain on any such Receivables Credit Collateral or Receivables Credit Designated Funds shall be promptly released upon the earlier of (i) actual knowledge of such Consensual Lien by the Syndicated Credit Agent or (ii) the written request of the Receivables Credit Agent.


(b)    The Syndicated Credit Lenders and Syndicated Credit Agent acknowledge and agree that, so long as any of the Receivables Credit Obligations remain outstanding and are unpaid or any commitments remain in effect under the Receivables Credit Agreement, any Non-Consensual Lien that any of them may have or obtain at any time in the Receivables Credit Collateral shall be junior and subordinate in priority of Lien to the Lien of the Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent in and to the Receivables Credit Collateral.  The Lien priorities provided in this Section shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, refunding, refinancing or replacement of the Receivables Credit Obligations or the Syndicated Credit Obligations, nor by any action or inaction which any of the parties hereto may take or fail to take in respect of the Receivables Credit Collateral.  


(c)    Until the Receivables Credit Obligations have been fully paid and there exist no commitments pursuant to the Receivables Credit Agreement, none of the Syndicated Credit Lenders or Syndicated Credit Agent shall, without the prior written consent of the Receivables Credit Agent, sue for, liquidate, sell, foreclose, setoff, collect, accept a surrender, receive any proceeds, petition, commence or otherwise initiate any action to realize or seek to realize upon all or any part of the Receivables Credit Collateral.  If the Receivables Credit Lenders or Receivables Credit Agent from time to time execute releases, partial releases, terminations, reconveyances, subordinations or other documents releasing or otherwise limiting the Receivables Credit Lenders' or Receivables Credit Agent's interest in the Receivables Credit Collateral, the Syndicated Credit Lenders and Syndicated Credit Agent agree to execute and deliver at such time such further documents as the Receivables Credit Agent may reasonably request to effect the corresponding change to any Lien held by the Syndicated Credit Lenders' or Syndicated Credit Agent on the same portion of the Receivables Credit Collateral.  


(d)    The Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent shall have the exclusive right to exercise and enforce all rights and privileges with respect to the Receivables Credit Collateral according to the exercise of their business judgment, including without limitation, the exclusive right to foreclose on, sell, liquidate, or otherwise dispose of the Receivables Credit Collateral.


Section 2.2    Liens Securing Syndicated Credit Obligations.


(a)    The Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent acknowledge and agree that none of them shall at any time have or obtain any Consensual Lien on any properties or assets of GPD, GPI, or any Subsidiary of GPI or GPD, other than the Consensual Lien granted to them by GPD in respect of the Receivables Credit Collateral and Receivables Credit Designated Funds as provided in the Receivables Credit Documents, and that any Consensual Lien any of them may at any time obtain on any such property or assets (other than the Receivables Credit Collateral and Receivables Credit Designated Funds) shall be promptly released upon the earlier of (i) actual knowledge of such Consensual Lien by the Receivables Credit Agent or (ii) the written request of the Syndicated Credit Agent.


(b)    The Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent acknowledge and agree that, so long as any of the Syndicated Credit Obligations remain outstanding and are unpaid, any commitments under the Syndicated Credit Agreement remain in effect, or any letters of credit issued pursuant to the Syndicated Credit Agreement remain outstanding, any Non-Consensual Lien that any of them may at any time have or obtain in the Syndicated Credit Collateral shall be junior and subordinate in priority of Lien to any Lien of the Syndicated Credit Lenders and Syndicated Credit Agent in and to the Syndicated Credit Collateral.  The Lien priorities provided in this Section shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, refunding, refinancing or replacement of the Syndicated Credit Obligations or Receivables Credit Obligations, nor by any action or inaction which any of the parties hereto may take or fail to take in respect of the Syndicated Credit Collateral.


(c)    Until the Syndicated Credit Obligations have been fully paid, there exist no commitments under the Syndicated Credit Agreement, and no letters of credit issued pursuant to the Syndicated Credit Agreement remain outstanding, none of the Receivables Credit Lenders or Receivables Credit Agent shall, without the prior written consent of the Syndicated Credit Agent, sue for, liquidate, sell, foreclose, setoff, collect, accept a surrender, receive any proceeds, petition, commence or otherwise initiate any action to realize or seek to realize upon all or any part of the properties or assets of any of GPI, GPD or any Subsidiary of GPI or GPD, other than an action solely in respect of the Receivables Credit Collateral and the Receivables Credit Designated Funds, whether or not any Lien exists on such properties or assets in favor of the Syndicated Credit Lenders or Syndicated Credit Agent.  If the Syndicated Credit Lenders or Syndicated Credit Agent from time to time execute releases, partial releases, terminations, reconveyances, subordinations or other documents releasing or otherwise limiting the Syndicated Credit Lenders' or Syndicated Credit Agent's interest in the Syndicated Credit Collateral, the Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent agree to execute and deliver at such time such further documents as the Syndicated Credit Agent may reasonably request to effect the corresponding change to any Lien held by the Receivables Credit Lenders or Receivables Credit Agent on the same portion of the Syndicated Credit Collateral.


(d)    The Syndicated Credit Lenders and Syndicated Credit Agent shall have the exclusive right to exercise and enforce all rights and privileges with respect to the Syndicated Credit Collateral according to the exercise of their business judgment, including without limitation, the exclusive right to foreclose on, sell, liquidate, or otherwise dispose of any Syndicated Credit Collateral.


Section 2.3    No Contest of Liens.  No party hereto shall contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any of the Consensual Liens of the Receivables Credit Lenders, Receivables Credit Agent, Syndicated Credit Lenders, or Syndicated Credit Agent, as the case may be, as described in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof.




III.  SUBORDINATION OF OBLIGATIONS


Section 3.1    Subordination.  The Receivables Credit Obligations shall be and hereby are expressly made subject and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Syndicated Credit Obligations to the extent and in the manner provided in this Intercreditor Agreement.


Section 3.2    Payments of Receivables Credit Obligations.  No payment or distribution of any kind, whether direct or indirect (by set-off, recoupment or otherwise) and whether in cash, securities or other property, other than Permitted Receivables Payments, shall be made on account of any principal amount of the Receivables Credit Obligations, or any interest accruing on any of the Receivables Credit Obligations, or any other amounts owing by GPD, GPI, or any Subsidiary of GPI or GPD to the Receivables Credit Lenders or Receivables Credit Agent in respect of the Receivables Credit Obligations, by or for the account of GPD, GPI, or any Subsidiary of GPD or GPI if, at the time thereof, (i) a Syndicated Credit Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) a Syndicated Credit Financial Covenant Default has occurred and is continuing and the Receivables Credit Agent has received written notice thereof, or (iii) a Payment Blockage Period shall be in effect, provided that during any period of 365 consecutive days, the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period shall be in effect shall not exceed 180 days.  


Section 3.3    Subordination in Event of Insolvency, Etc.


(a)    In the event of any Proceeding (i) all Syndicated Credit Obligations shall first be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any kind, whether direct or indirect (by set-off, recoupment or otherwise) and whether in cash, securities or other property, other than Permitted Receivables Payments, shall be made by or for the account of GPD, GPI, or any Subsidiaries of GPD or GPI in respect of any Receivables Credit Obligations, and (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of any kind that would otherwise (but for this Intercreditor Agreement) be payable or deliverable on account of  any Receivables Credit Obligations (including, without limitation, any such payment or distribution that is payable or deliverable by or for the account of GPD, GPI, or any Subsidiaries of GPD or GPI on account of Receivables Credit Obligations by virtue or pursuant to the terms of any subordination agreement executed by creditors of GPD, GPI, or any Subsidiaries of GPD or GPI in favor of the Receivables Credit Lenders or Receivables Credit Agent, but excluding Permitted Receivables Payments), shall be paid or delivered directly to the Syndicated Credit Agent for application to and payment of the Syndicated Credit Obligations until all Syndicated Credit Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash.


(b)    In the event of any Proceeding, if any Receivables Credit Lender or Receivables Credit Agent shall fail to do so at least thirty (30) days prior to any bar date therefor, such Receivables Credit Lender or Receivables Credit Agent hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Syndicated Credit Agent (in its own name or in the name of such Receivables Credit Lender or Receivables Credit Agent or otherwise) for the benefit of the holders of the Syndicated Credit Obligations, to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of any Receivables Credit Obligations.  Each of the Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent agrees to execute and deliver to the Syndicated Credit Agent such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments as the Syndicated Credit Agent may reasonably request to enable it to accomplish the matters set forth in this Section 3.3(b).


(c)    For purposes of this Section 3.3, the issuance by GPD, GPI, or any Subsidiary of GPD or GPI of securities to the Receivables Credit Lenders or Receivables Credit Agent in connection with any plan of reorganization filed in connection with any Proceeding shall not constitute a payment or distribution on account of Receivables Credit Obligations if such securities are subordinated to the Syndicated Credit Obligations at least to the same extent and in the same manner as the Receivables Credit Obligations are subordinated to the Syndicated Credit Obligations pursuant to this Intercreditor Agreement.


Section 3.4    Turnover of Improper Payments.  If any payment or distribution, whether direct or indirect (by set-off, recoupment or otherwise) and whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be received by any Receivables Credit Lender or the Receivables Credit Agent from GPD, GPI, or any Subsidiary of GPD or GPI in contravention of any of the terms hereof, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Syndicated Credit Lenders and shall, upon the Receivables Credit Agent's receipt of notice of such contravention from the Syndicated Credit Agent or Syndicated Credit Lenders or otherwise having actual knowledge of such contravention, be promptly paid over and delivered to the Syndicated Credit Agent for application to the payment of the Syndicated Credit Obligations to the extent necessary to cause all Syndicated Credit Obligations to be paid in full in cash.


Section 3.5    Collection of Receivables Credit Obligations.  At any time during which any of the events or conditions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 3.2 shall be in effect or have occurred and be continuing, and no Proceeding shall have been commenced and be continuing, no Receivables Credit Lender or the Receivables Credit Agent shall (i) commence or join with any other creditor in commencing any Proceeding against GPI or any Subsidiary Guarantor or other Subsidiary of GPI (other than GPD), or (ii) other than as provided in Section 3.14, take any action to secure, collect or enforce any right to receive any payment on account of the Receivables Credit Obligations; provided that in no event shall any Receivables Credit Lender or the Receivables Credit Agent enforce any remedies as a result of any Receivables Credit Default, other than as provided in Section 3.14, until a period of thirty (30) days has expired after written notice of intention to exercise any such remedies shall have been given by the Receivables Credit Lenders, or the Receivables Credit Agent on their behalf, to each of GPD, GPI and the Syndicated Credit Agent.


Section 3.6    Reinstatement.  The provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment in respect of Syndicated Credit Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Syndicated Credit Lender or the Syndicated Credit Agent in the event of a Proceeding, all as though such payment had not been made.  Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any Syndicated Credit Obligations are avoided, disallowed or subordinated pursuant to Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state fraudulent conveyance laws, whether asserted directly or under Section 544 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provisions of any other Bankruptcy Laws, the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be.




Section 3.7    Document Legends.  Any and all instruments (and all replacements thereof) evidencing the Receivables Credit Obligations or any portion thereof shall be inscribed with a legend or other provision conspicuously indicating that the payment thereof is subordinated to the payment of the Syndicated Credit Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Intercreditor Agreement.


Section 3.8    Subordination Not Impaired.  All rights, agreements and obligations of the Syndicated Credit Lenders and the Syndicated Credit Agent and all rights, agreements and obligations of the Receivables Credit Lenders and the Receivables Credit Agent hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of (i) any amendment, modification, waiver or consent of any term or provision set forth in any Syndicated Credit Document or Receivables Credit Document, (ii) any increase, extension, or change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or any other term of, all or any portion of the Syndicated Credit Obligations or the Receivables Credit Obligations, or (iii) any change, release or non-perfection of any Lien on any of the Syndicated Credit Collateral or Receivables Credit Collateral, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to the departure from, any guarantee for all or any part of the Syndicated Credit Obligations or Receivables Credit Obligations.  


Section 3.9    Continuing Subordination.  The subordination effected by this Intercreditor Agreement is a continuing subordination, and the Receivables Credit Lenders and the Receivables Credit Agent hereby unconditionally waive notice of the incurring of any Syndicated Credit Obligations or any part thereof and any notice of reliance by any Syndicated Credit Lender or the Syndicated Credit Agent upon the subordination effected by this Intercreditor Agreement.  Each of the Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration of each holder of Syndicated Credit Obligations, whether such Syndicated Credit Obligations were created or acquired before or after the incurrence or creation of any Receivables Credit Obligations, and whether such Syndicated Credit Lender or Syndicated Credit Agent is now known or hereafter becomes known, and each Syndicated Credit Lender and the Syndicated Credit Agent shall be conclusively deemed to have relied upon such subordination provisions in acquiring and holding, or in continuing to hold, such Syndicated Credit Obligations and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement directly as if it were a party to this Intercreditor Agreement.


Section 3.10    Judgments.  If at any time hereafter, any Receivables Credit Lender or the Receivables Credit Agent obtains any judgment against GPD, GPI, or any Subsidiary of GPD or GPI in respect of any Receivables Credit Obligations, the enforcement and collection of such judgment shall be subject to the subordination provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement (but subject to Section 3.14) and the rights of the holders of Syndicated Credit Obligations to the same extent as provided with respect to payment of the Receivables Credit Obligations under this Intercreditor Agreement.


Section 3.11    Subrogation.  Upon payment in full of all Syndicated Credit Obligations, the termination of all commitments under the Syndicated Credit Agreement, and the expiration or cancellation of all letters of credit issued pursuant to the Syndicated Credit Agreement, the Receivables Credit Lenders and the Receivables Credit Agent shall be immediately subrogated to the rights of the holders of Syndicated Credit Obligations (to the extent of payments and distributions made to such holders of Syndicated Credit Obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Article III) to receive payments and distributions on account of Syndicated Credit Obligations until all amounts owing on account of Receivables Credit Obligations shall be paid in full.  No payments or distributions on account of Syndicated Credit Obligations which the Receivables Credit Lenders or Receivables Credit Agent shall receive by reason of this subrogation, as between GPD, GPI, or their respective Subsidiaries, any of their respective creditors other than holders of Syndicated Credit Obligations and the Receivables Credit Lenders, shall be deemed to be a payment on account of any Receivables Credit Obligations and, for purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to holders of Syndicated Credit Obligations to which the Receivables Credit Lenders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement to the holders of Syndicated Credit Obligations by the Receivables Credit Lenders, as between GPD, GPI, and their respective Subsidiaries, any of their respective creditors other than the holders of Syndicated Credit Obligations and the Receivables Credit Lenders, shall be deemed to be a payment on account of any Syndicated Credit Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Receivables Credit Lenders and the Receivables Credit Agent, on the one hand, and the Syndicated Credit Lenders and Syndicated Credit Agent, on the other hand.


Section 3.12    Representations and Warranties of Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent.  Each of the Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent (in each case as to itself only) represents and warrants to the Syndicated Credit Lenders and Syndicated Credit Agent as follows:

Section 3.13    Representations and Warranties of Syndicated Credit Lenders and Syndicated Credit Agent.

Section 3.14    Permitted Receivables Payments; Actions with Respect to Receivables Credit Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (i) the Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent may receive and retain at any time, whether or not any Receivables Credit Default shall have occurred, for application against the Receivables Credit Obligations, all amounts paid from the Receivables Credit Designated Funds (whether directly or by set-off, recoupment or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Credit Documents, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Receivables Credit Default, the Receivables Credit Lenders and Receivables Credit Agent shall be entitled to accelerate payment of the Receivables Credit Obligations, collect, sell, foreclose on, liquidate, or otherwise dispose of any of the Receivables Credit Collateral or other Receivables Credit Designated Funds and apply all amounts received as a result of such actions to payment of the Receivables Credit Obligations, in either such case without limitation or restriction hereunder.  Any payments received by the Receivables Credit Lenders or Receivables Credit Agent as provided in this Section 3.14 are referred to herein as the “Permitted Receivables Payments.”

Exhibit F-1
October 6, 2011




Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Agent under
the Credit Agreement, as hereinafter defined (the “Agent”)


and


The Lenders listed on Schedule I hereto which
are parties to the Credit Agreement on the date hereof




Re:    Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 19, 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”) among Global Payments Direct, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Borrower”), the lending institutions identified iii the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”) and the Agent                                    


Ladies and Gentlemen:


We have acted as counsel to the Borrower, Global Payments Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Guarantor”), and certain subsidiaries of the Guarantor named and identified by state of incorporation or organization on Schedule II attached hereto (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Borrower, the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors being referred to herein collectively as the “Credit Parties”) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the following documents;
		
	(a)
	the Credit Agreement; and


		
	(b)
	the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.


The documents described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) are together referred to herein as the “Credit Documents”.  Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.  This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.1(e) of the Credit Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined:
		
	(i)
	the Credit Documents; and


		
	(ii)
	an unfiled copy of the financing statement attached to Schedule Ill hereto (the “Financing Statement”), naming the Borrower as the debtor and the Agent as secured party; we understand such financing statement will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of New York (the “Filing Office”).


We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, instruments and other documents and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions expressed herein.  As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Credit Parties.  In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the representations made in the Credit Documents.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, telefacsimile or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
In our examinations, we have assumed (i) the power and authority of all parties to enter into the Credit Documents (other than the Borrower), (ii) the due authorization, valid execution and delivery of the Credit Documents by all parties thereto (other than the Borrower), and (iii) that each of the Credit Documents is enforceable against the parties thereto, other than the Credit Parties:
For purposes of our opinions expressed herein, we have further assumed:
(a)Each Credit Party (other than the Borrower) has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be; and to the extent applicable, each Credit Party that is a foreign corporation transacting business in the State of Georgia or the State of New York is in good standing as a foreign corporation under the laws of the State of Georgia or the State of New York, as applicable;
(b)Each of the Lenders and the Agent is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and is entitled to avail itself of the courts of the State of New York to enforce the Credit Documents; and
(c)The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party (other than the Borrower) of the Credit Documents to which it is a party do not (i) contravene or constitute a default under (A) any provision of the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of such Credit Party, (B) the terms of any indenture, mortgage, note, or other agreement or instrument to which such Credit Party is party or to which any of its property is subject; or (ii) create or impose a contractual lien or security interest in, on or against any property of such Credit Party under any indenture, mortgage, note, or other agreement or instrument to which such Credit Party is party or to which its property is subject.
Finally, reference in this opinion to the “Uniform Commercial Code” or the “UCC” shall mean the UCC as in effect on the date hereof in the State of New York, unless otherwise indicated.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1.The Borrower (a) is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of New York, (b) has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to borrow, perform its obligations thereunder and to grant the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and (c) has duly authorized, executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party.
2.The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, its borrowings in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, performance of its payment obligations thereunder and granting of the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement will not result in any violation of, assuming that proceeds of borrowings will be used in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, (i) any Federal or New York law, rule or regulation to which such Credit Party or its assets is subject or (ii) any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any New York or Federal statute or any order known to us issued by any court or governmental agency or body.
3.No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any Federal, New York or Georgia governmental agency is required for the execution and delivery by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, the borrowings by any Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or the performance by the Credit Parties of their respective payment obligations under the Credit Documents or the granting of any security interests under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, except filings required for the perfection of security interests granted pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
4.Each Credit Document constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each Credit Party which is a party thereto, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms.
5.Assuming that each Credit Party entitled to borrow money under the Credit Agreement will comply with the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the use of proceeds, the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
6.The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement creates in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security interest in the collateral described therein in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Article 9 Collateral”).
7.Under Section 9-301(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code, the law of the jurisdiction where the debtor is “located” governs perfection of a security interest in the Collateral, subject to the exceptions set forth therein.  Under Section 9-307(e) of the Uniform Commercial Code, a debtor which is a “registered organization” (such as a corporation, limited partnership or a limited liability company), organized under the law of a state which maintains a public record of such organization, is “located” in such jurisdiction.  Upon the filing of the Financing Statement naming the Borrower as Debtor with the Filing Office and the payment of all applicable filing fees, the security interest granted by the Borrower in the Collateral (as defined in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement) shall be perfected to the extent a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement.
8.No Credit Parry is an “investment company” within the meaning of and subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.
Our opinions herein are subject to the following further exceptions, qualifications and limitations:
(a)Each of the Credit Documents provides that it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.  As to whether the courts of the State of New York would enforce the choice of law clauses in such agreements, in the context of the locations of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in other jurisdictions, we note that New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401 authorizes parties to any agreement relating to a transaction covering $250,000 or more to agree to have New York law govern their rights and duties in whole or in part, whether or not the agreement bears a reasonable relation to New York.  We therefore believe that, given the express choice of law provisions set forth in the Credit Documents, a court of competent jurisdiction of the State of New York would, in a properly presented case, enforce the clauses in the Credit Documents which provide that such documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York.  However, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in another state concluded that the applicable substantive laws of New York violated an important public policy of another state having a materially greater interest in the transactions than New York, such court could find that constitutional law principles of due process and full faith and credit applicable to interstate transactions, or common law principles related to choice of law, prohibited the application of New York law to govern and construe the Credit Documents.  Without rendering any opinion to such effect, we are not aware of any important public policy of any state with a materially greater interest in the transaction which would be violated by such application of New York law.  In addition, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in another state concluded that the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents bore no reasonable relationship to New York such court could find that Section 1-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code of another state to which such transactions bore an appropriate relation prohibited the parties' agreement under the Credit Documents as to the application of New York Law.  We express no opinion, however, with respect to the effect that New York courts would give to the decisions or judgments of courts of other jurisdictions.
(b)The enforceability of the Credit Documents and-the obligations of the respective Credit Parties thereunder, and the availability of certain rights and remedial provisions provided for in the Credit Documents, are subject to the effects of (i) bankruptcy, fraudu1ent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, and similar laws, and limitations imposed under judicial decisions, related to or effecting creditors' rights and remedies generally, (ii) general equitable principles, regardless of whether the issue of enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and principles limiting the availability of the remedy of specific performance, (iii) concepts of good faith, fair dealing, materiality and reasonableness, and (iv) the possible unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions providing for indemnification or contribution that are contrary to public policy.
(c)We express no opinion herein as to the enforceability of cumulative remedies to the extent such cumulative remedies purport to or would have the effect of compensating the party entitled to the benefits thereof in amounts in excess of the actual loss suffered by such party.
(d)Notwithstanding certain language in the Credit Documents, the Agent and the Lenders may be limited in recovery of fees, costs and expenses to recovering only reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses and only reasonable costs.
(e)Requirements in the Credit Documents specifying that provisions thereof may only be waived in writing may not be valid, binding or enforceable to the extent that an oral agreement or an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has been created modifying any provision of such documents.
(f)Certain remedial provisions contained in the Collateral Documents may be rendered ineffective, or limited by, applicable laws, rules, regulations, constitutional requirements or judicial decisions governing such provisions, but such laws, rules, regulations, constitutional requirements and judicial decisions would not, in our opinion, make the Collateral Documents invalid as a whole or inadequate for the practical realization of the benefits provided or intended to be provided by such Collateral Documents, although they may result in a delay thereof (and we express no opinion herein with respect to the economic consequences of any such delay).
(g)We express no opinion herein in respect of any federal or state antitrust, banking (except as expressly set forth in Paragraph 5 above), tax, securities or “blue sky” laws, or ERISA laws, rules or regulations.
(h)We express no opinion herein in respect of any provisions of the Credit Documents relating to any power of attorney or purporting to appoint the Agent or any Lender as attorney-in-fact or agent for any party thereto, other than powers of attorney or authorizations granted under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement for purposes of filing financing statements and amendments under Part 3 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or exercising remedies under Part 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
(i)We express no opinion herein as to the severability of any provision of the Credit Documents.
(j)Any rights of the Agent to foreclose its Liens in, or enforce its remedies against, any Collateral must be enforced pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable federal, state or local laws.
(k)We have assumed that each Credit Party has received legally sufficient consideration and “value” (as defined in Section 1-201 of the New York UCC) “has been given” (as required by Section 9-203 of the New York UCC) for its execution of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and the granting of security interests in its property pursuant thereto.
(l)We have assumed that each Credit Party has “rights in the collateral” or the “power to transfer rights in the Collateral to a secured party” (within the meaning of Section 9-203 of the Uniform Commercial Code) in the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security interest.
(m)We express no opinion herein as to the existence of or status of title to any property (whether real, personal or mixed or otherwise).
(n)We express no opinion in. Paragraph 7 above regarding the perfection of the Agent's security interest in any of the Collateral to the extent any of such property constitutes real property, fixtures, deposit accounts, goods covered by a certificate of title, goods-in-transit, letter-of-credit rights, money, timber to be cut, as-extracted collateral, farm products or cooperative interests.  We express no opinion in Paragraph 7 above regarding the perfection of the Agent's security interest in any of the Collateral to the extent any of such property constitutes copyrights, trademarks, patents.
(o)We express no opinion herein in respect of the perfection of any security interest which perfection is not governed by or deemed to be governed by the laws of New York.
(p)In the case of property which becomes Collateral after the date hereof, Section 552 of the United States Bankruptcy Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case thereunder may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by a debtor before the commencement of such case.
(q)Perfection of security interests may be terminated under the circumstances described in Section 9-507 of the Uniform Commercial Code (relating to changes in the name of a debtor to the extent the same renders a financing statement seriously misleading) unless an appropriate amendment to such financing statement is filed as provided in such section, and under the circumstances described in Section 9-515 of the Uniform Commercial Code (relating to the filing of continuation statements) unless a timely continuation statement is filed as provided in such Section.
(r)In the case of Collateral consisting of proceeds, continuation of perfection of security interests therein is limited to the extent set forth in Section 9-315 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
(s)The exercise of rights and remedies under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code is subject to the limitations set forth in Part 6 thereof, including without limitation the requirement that a creditor proceed in a commercially reasonable manner.
(t)The rights of debtors, guarantors and other secured parties to receive notices under Part 6 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code may not be waived prior to default and the failure to comply with such notice requirements may bar or limit the recovery of any deficiency remaining after the retention or sale of repossessed collateral and further, we express no opinion as to the right of the Agent or any Lender to enforce any of its rights without notice to the Credit Parties and without judicial hearing or without bond, nor do we express any opinion as to whether the periods of notice set forth in the Credit Documents are reasonable or enforceable.
(u)Our security interest-related opinions in Paragraph 6 above, is limited to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, and therefore that opinion Paragraph does not address (i) Collateral of a type not subject to the Uniform Commercial Code, or (ii) the question of what law applies to the perfection of security interests in collateral except as provided in Sections 9-301(a) (or 9-301(1), as the case may be), 9-304(a), 9-305(a)(1) or 9-305(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code.
(v)We express no opinion as to the applicability or effect of compliance or non-compliance by the Agent or any Lender with any state, federal or other laws applicable to such Person or to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents because of the nature of such Person's business, including its legal or regulatory status.
(w)Except as set forth in the opinions expressed in Paragraphs 6 and 7 above, we express no opinion as to the creation, attachment, validity, enforceability or perfection of a security interest in any item of Collateral or the necessity of making any filings or taking any other action in connection therewith.  Further, we express no opinion as to the priority of any security interest in any item of Collateral.
(x)Our opinion expressed in Paragraph 2(i) above is intended to express our opinion that the execution, delivery and performance by the each Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is party are neither prohibited by, nor do they subject a Credit Party to a fine, penalty or similar sanction that would be materially adverse to such Credit Party under, any U.S. federal or State of New York statute, regulation or law that a lawyer practicing in the State of New York exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize to be applicable to such Credit Party and the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents.
(y)For purposes of the opinions expressed in Paragraph1 above with respect to the existence and good standing of the Borrower, we have relied solely upon a certificate from the office of the Secretary of State of New York, a copy of which was delivered to you, such opinions are limited to the meaning ascribed to such certificate by such official, and we have assumed that such certificate has remained accurate from the dates thereof until the date hereof.
(z)Certain agreements, instruments or documents to which a Credit Party is party, or to which its Property is subject, may limit, restrict or prohibit the creation, attachment, enforceability or priority of security interests granted by the Credit Party in particular items of Collateral.  We express no opinion herein in respect of any such Collateral.  We note, however, that such agreements, instruments and documents may be limited or rendered ineffective under Sections 9-401, 9406, 9-407 or 9-408 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable.
We are members of the Bar of the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the Federal law of the United States.
This opinion letter is rendered to you and your successors and assigns in connection with the above described transactions.  This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation without our prior written consent, except to your bank examiners, auditors and professional advisors, or as required by law or pursuant to legal process.
Very truly yours,

Exhibit F-2


November ___, 2004
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Agent under
the Credit Agreement, as hereinafter
defined (the “Agent”)
and
The Lenders listed on Schedule I hereto
which are parties to the Credit Agreement
on the date hereof 
		
	Re:
	Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November ___, 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”) among Global Payments Direct, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Borrower”), the lending institutions identified in the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”) and the Agent                                        


Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have acted as in-house counsel to the Borrower, Global Payments Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), and certain subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor named and identified by state of incorporation, organization or formation on Schedule II attached hereto (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors being referred to herein collectively as the “Credit Parties”) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the following documents:
(a)    the Credit Agreement; and
(b)    the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
The documents described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) are together referred to herein as the “Credit Documents”.  Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.  This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.1(e) of the Credit Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, I have examined the Credit Documents.  I also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, instruments and other documents, including the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation, Articles or Certificate of Organization, Certificate of Limited Partnership and Bylaws, Operating Agreement or Limited Partnership Agreement of each of the Credit Parties (the “Organizational Documents”).  I have also examined originals or copies of the resolutions of the Board of Directors or other governing body of each of the Credit Parties and certificates of public officials concerning the legal existence and good standing of the Borrower and have made such other investigations as I have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions expressed herein.  As to questions of fact material to this opinion, I have relied upon certificates of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Credit Parties.  In addition, I have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the representations made in the Credit Documents.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, facsimile or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.


As to the factual matters forming a basis of my opinion, whenever an opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts is qualified by the phrase “to my knowledge” it is intended to indicate that during the course of my representation of the Credit Parties no information has come to my attention, after inquiry of those officers and employees of the Credit Parties who could reasonably be expected to have knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts, which would give me reason to question the accuracy of such facts.  Except as specifically noted in this paragraph, I have not undertaken any other independent review or investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts.  Without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of my opinion expressed in paragraph 2(b), I have not made any independent review or investigation of any agreements or instruments to which any Credit Party is a party or by which any Credit Party is bound, except that I have reviewed or caused to be reviewed those agreements and instruments listed on Schedule III (the “Reviewed Agreements”). Furthermore, for purposes of my opinion expressed in paragraph 3 hereof, I have made no examination of plaintiff or defendant indexes in any federal, state, or other court or any other tribunal to determine the existence of any suits or proceedings pending or threatened against the Credit Parties.


The opinions set forth herein are limited to the laws of the State of Georgia, the federal laws of the United States of America, and the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware, the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, the Business Corporation Act of the State of Illinois and the Business Corporation Act of the State of North Carolina.  I am admitted to practice law only in the State of Georgia and in expressing my opinions herein as to such corporate laws of the States of Delaware, Illinois and North Carolina, I have relied solely upon the published general compilations of the applicable laws of such states.


In my examination, I have assumed (i) the power and authority of all parties to enter into the Credit Documents (other than the Parent Guarantor and Subsidiary Guarantors), (ii) the due authorization, valid execution and delivery of the Credit Documents by all parties thereto (other than the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors), and (iii) that each of the Credit Documents is enforceable against the parties thereto.


Further, for purposes of the opinions expressed herein, I have assumed that: (a) the due organization, valid existence and in good standing of the Borrower under the laws of the State of New York, (b) the power and authority of the Borrower to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to borrow, perform its obligations thereunder and to grant the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and (c) the due authorization, valid execution and delivery of the Credit Documents by the Borrower.


Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:
1.    Each of the Credit Parties (other than the Borrower) (a) has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership under the laws of the state of its incorporation or organization, (b) has the power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder and (c) has duly authorized, executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party.
2.    The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, its borrowings in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, performance of its payment obligations thereunder and granting of the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (a) will not result in any violation of the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party and (b) will not breach or result in a default under or result in the creation of any lien upon or security interest in the Credit Parties' properties pursuant to the terms of any of the Reviewed Agreements.
3.    To my knowledge there is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court, arbitrator or governmental agency, body or official, now pending, to which any Credit Party is a party or to which the business, assets or property of any Credit Party is subject and no such action, suit or proceeding is threatened to which any Credit Party or the business, assets or property of any Credit Party would be subject that in either case questions the validity of the Credit Documents.
This opinion letter is rendered to you and your successors and assigns in connection with the above described transactions.  This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation without our prior written consent, except to your bank examiners, auditors and professional advisors, or as required by law or pursuant to legal process.
Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs:
We have acted as special Canadian counsel to Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") in connection with (a) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated as of November 19, 2004 between Global Payments Direct, Inc. (the "Borrower"), as borrower, the lenders from time to time party to such credit agreement and CIBC, as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), and (b) that certain Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the "Security Agreement") dated as of November 19, 2004 between the Borrower, Global Payments, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent under which, among other things, the Borrower grants a security interest to the Administrative Agent over certain accounts maintained by the Borrower at one or more financial institutions in Toronto, Ontario.
In rendering the opinion set forth below we have examined a facsimile copy of each of the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement and we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, whether facsimile, photostatic, certified or otherwise.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that the conflicts provisions of the Personal Property Security Act (Ontario) (the "PPSA") provide that the validity, perfection and effect of perfection or non perfection of a security interest in an intangible shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the debtor is located.
The PPSA (a) defines an "intangible" to mean personal property, including a chose in action, that is not goods, chattel paper, documents of title, instruments or securities, and (b) provides that, for the purpose of the above referenced conflicts provision, a debtor is deemed to




Page 2
be located at the debtor's place of business if there is one and at the debtor's chief executive office if there is more than one place of business.
The Visa Receivables, Merchant Business Receivables and Merchant Charge-Back Receivables (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) and indemnity obligations of Visa Canada and Visa International to the Borrower for non payment of the Visa Receivables (which items are referred to in paragraphs 3(a), (b), (c) and (f) of the description of 'Collateral' in the Security Agreement) constitute intangibles under the PPSA.
The opinion expressed above is limited to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in such Province.
This letter is provided to the addressee solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement and may not be relied upon by any other Person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent. The opinion expressed in this letter is strictly limited to the matters stated in this letter as of the date of this letter, and no other opinions are implied or to be inferred.
