of each fiscal quarter of Holdings based upon the Borrowing Base Certificate that is mostly recently delivered from time to time pursuant to Section 5.01(f), with any changes to the Applicable Rate resulting from changes in the Average
Availability to be effective during the succeeding period of three fiscal months; provided that the Average Availability shall be deemed to be in Category 3 (a) at any time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other
than an Event of Default arising from the failure to deliver any Borrowing Base Certificate) or (b) if the Borrowers fail to deliver any Borrowing Base Certificate that is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(f), during

Administrative Agent, has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any such proceeding or appointment, provided that a Bankruptcy Event shall not result solely by virtue of the
acquisition of any ownership interest in such Person by a Governmental Authority or instrumentality thereof, provided, further, that such acquisition does not result in or provide such Person with immunity from the jurisdiction of

 54

a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:

and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 Section 2.04. Protective

the Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars or Dollars on behalf of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders (each such Loan, a “Multicurrency Protective Advance”), which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems
necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount
chargeable to or required to be paid by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums
payable under the Loan Documents; provided, that the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances shall not, at any time, exceed 5.0% of the sum of the 

  
 55 









 
total Revolving Commitments at such time; provided further that, (y) the aggregate amount of outstanding U.S. Protective Advances plus the U.S. Revolving Exposure shall not
exceed the aggregate U.S. Commitments and (z) the aggregate amount of outstanding Multicurrency Protective Advances plus the Multicurrency Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments. Protective Advances
may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The (1) U.S. Protective Advances and Multicurrency Protective Advances made to the U.S. Borrower shall be secured by the Liens granted
in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties, securing the Secured Obligations) and (2) Multicurrency Protective Advances made to the Canadian Borrower shall be secured by Liens granted in favor of the
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Multicurrency Secured Parties, securing the Canadian Secured Obligations). All (x) U.S. Protective Advances and Multicurrency Protective Advances denominated in Dollars shall be ABR Borrowings and
(y) all Multicurrency Protective Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any
such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient U.S. Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the U.S. Revolving Lenders to make a U.S. Revolving Loan, in Dollars, to repay a U.S. Protective Advance. At any time that there is sufficient Multicurrency
Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders to make a Multicurrency Revolving Loan, in the currency in which the
applicable Multicurrency Protective Advance was denominated, to repay a Multicurrency Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require (I) the U.S. Revolving Lenders to fund with respect to U.S. Protective Advances, in
Dollars, and (II) the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders to fund with respect to Multicurrency Protective Advances, in the currency in which the applicable Protective Advance was denominated, their risk participations described in Section

after the occurrence of a Default), each U.S. Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in such U.S. Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. Upon the making of a Multicurrency Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each
Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in
such Multicurrency Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

 Section 2.05. Swingline Loans and Overadvances. (a) The Administrative
Agent, the U.S. Swingline Lender and the U.S. Revolving Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the U.S. Commitment, promptly after the Borrower Representative
requests an ABR Borrowing under the U.S. Facility, the U.S. Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the U.S. Revolving Lenders and in the amount
requested, same day funds to the U.S. Borrower, on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the U.S. Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a
“U.S. Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the U.S. Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(f). Each U.S. Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and
conditions applicable to other ABR Loans funded by the U.S. Revolving Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the U.S. Swingline Lender solely for its own account. In addition, in the event that there is a Controlled
Disbursement Account of the U.S. Borrower at such time, the U.S. Borrower hereby authorizes the U.S. Swingline Lender to, and the U.S. Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written
notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on each Business Day, make available to the U.S. Borrower by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s), the proceeds of a U.S. Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to be
drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account that Business Day; provided that, if on any Business Day there is insufficient borrowing capacity to permit the U.S. Swingline Lender to make available to the U.S. Borrower a U.S. Swingline Loan in
the amount necessary to pay all items to be so drawn on any such Controlled Disbursement Account of the U.S. Borrower on such Business Day, then the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an ABR Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.03 in the amount of such deficiency to be made on such Business Day. The aggregate amount of U.S. Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $20,000,000. The U.S. Swingline Lender shall not make any U.S. Swingline
Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. All U.S. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Borrowings. 

(b) The Administrative Agent, the Multicurrency Swingline Lender and the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders agree that in
order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Multicurrency Commitment, promptly after the Borrower Representative requests a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing under the Canadian Facility, the
Multicurrency Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(b) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the Canadian
Borrower, on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the Multicurrency Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Multicurrency
Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(f). Each Multicurrency Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions
applicable to other Canadian Prime Rate Loans funded by the applicable Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Multicurrency Swingline Lender solely for its own account. In addition, in the event
that there is a Controlled Disbursement Account of the Canadian Borrower at such time, the Canadian Borrower 

  
 57 









 
hereby authorizes the Multicurrency Swingline Lender to, and the Multicurrency Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice
required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on each Business Day, make available to the Canadian Borrower by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s), the proceeds of a Multicurrency Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to
be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account of the Canadian Borrower that Business Day; provided that, if on any Business Day there is insufficient borrowing capacity to permit the Multicurrency Swingline Lender to make available to the
Canadian Borrower a Multicurrency Swingline Loan in the amount necessary to pay all items to be so drawn on any such Controlled Disbursement Account of the Canadian Borrower on such Business Day, then the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount of such deficiency to be made on such Business Day. The aggregate amount of Multicurrency Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed
$5,000,000. The Multicurrency Swingline Lender shall not make any Multicurrency Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. All Multicurrency Swingline Loans shall
be Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings. 
 (c) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the
request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make U.S. Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the U.S. Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed the U.S.
Availability (any such excess U.S. Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “U.S. Overadvances”); provided that, no U.S. Overadvance shall result in a Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply with
Section 2.01 for so long as such U.S. Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this clause, but solely with respect to the amount of such U.S. Overadvance. In addition, U.S. Overadvances may be made even if
the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied (except to the extent such U.S. Overadvance would cause any U.S. Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its U.S. Commitment, or cause the
Applicable Limit to be exceeded). All U.S. Overadvances shall constitute ABR Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make U.S. Overadvances is limited to (x) together with all Multicurrency Overadvances constituting Protective
Advances, an aggregate amount of U.S. Overadvances constituting Protective Advances not to exceed at any time 5.0% of the sum of the total Revolving Commitments at such time and (y) together with all Multicurrency Overadvances not constituting
Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of U.S. Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time. No U.S. Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days, and no U.S. Overadvance shall cause any
U.S. Revolving Lender’s U.S. Revolving Exposure to exceed its U.S. Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make U.S. Overadvances.
Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. 
 (d) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole


  
 58 









 
discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Multicurrency Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, on behalf of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, in amounts that
exceed the Multicurrency Availability for such Borrower (any such excess Multicurrency Revolving Loans for either Borrower are herein referred to collectively as “Multicurrency Overadvances”); provided that, no Multicurrency
Overadvance shall result in a Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Multicurrency Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this clause, but solely with
respect to the amount of such Multicurrency Overadvance. In addition, Multicurrency Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied (except to the extent such Multicurrency
Overadvance would cause any Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Exposure to exceed its Multicurrency Commitment, or cause the Applicable Limit to be exceeded). All Multicurrency Overadvances shall constitute Canadian Prime
Rate Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make Multicurrency Overadvances is limited to (x) together with all U.S. Overadvances constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of Multicurrency Overadvances constituting
Protective Advances not to exceed at any time 5.0% of the sum of the total Revolving Commitments at such time and (y) together with all U.S. Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of Multicurrency Overadvances
not constituting Protective Advances not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time. No Multicurrency Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days and no Multicurrency Overadvance shall cause any Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s
Multicurrency Revolving Exposure to exceed its Multicurrency Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Multicurrency Overadvances.
Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. 
 (e) Upon the making of a U.S. Swingline Loan, a Multicurrency Swingline Loan, a U.S. Overadvance or a Multicurrency Overadvance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of
whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan or Overadvance), each U.S. Revolving Lender (with respect to U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. Overadvances) or Multicurrency Revolving Lender (with respect to Multicurrency
Swingline Loans and Multicurrency Overadvances) shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the applicable Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan or Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Commitment or Multicurrency Commitment, as applicable. The applicable Swingline Lender
or the Administrative Agent may, at any time, require with respect to U.S. Swingline Loans, the U.S. Revolving Lenders, and with respect to Multicurrency Swingline Loans, the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, to fund, in the currency in which the
applicable Swingline Loan was denominated, their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan. 

  
 59 









 (f) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the U.S. Swingline Lender and the
Multicurrency Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the U.S. Revolving Lenders or the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Administrative
Agent elects, by notifying the applicable Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon Chicago time (i) on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”), with
regard to U.S. Swingline Loans and (ii) two Business Days prior to the Settlement Date, with regard to Multicurrency Swingline Loans (or on the date of such requested Settlement, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing).
Each U.S. Revolving Lender or applicable Multicurrency Revolving Lender, as the case may be (other than the Swingline Lenders, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer, in the currency in which the applicable Loan was denominated, the
amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the
Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02
have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent in respect of U.S. Swingline Loans shall be applied against the amounts of the U.S. Swingline Lender’s U.S. Swingline Loans and, together with the U.S. Swingline
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such U.S. Swingline Loan, shall constitute U.S. Revolving Loans of such U.S. Revolving Lenders, which shall be ABR Loans, and shall no longer constitute U.S. Swingline Loans. Such amounts transferred to the
Administrative Agent in respect of Multicurrency Swingline Loans shall be applied against the amounts of the Multicurrency Swingline Lender’s Multicurrency Swingline Loans and, together with the Multicurrency Swingline Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Multicurrency Swingline Loan, shall constitute Multicurrency Revolving Loans of such Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, which shall be Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and shall no longer constitute Multicurrency Swingline Loans. If any
such amount referred to in this clause (f) is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any applicable Lender on such Settlement Date, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender on demand such
amount, together with interest thereon, as specified in Section 2.07. 
 Section 2.06. Letters of
Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars for its own account or for the account of
another Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit), at any
time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by
one or more Borrowers to, or entered into by one or more Borrowers with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Representative shall deliver by hand or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit) and the Administrative
Agent (prior to 9:00 am, Chicago time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended,
renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (c) of this Section),
the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated (which shall be Dollars or Canadian Dollars in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit and Canadian Letters of Credit), the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on
such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the
Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000, (ii) the aggregate U.S. LC Exposure shall not
exceed $90,000,000, (iii) the aggregate Canadian LC Exposure shall not exceed $10,000,000, and (iv) the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. 

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of
(i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date (it being understood that any Letter of Credit that provides for time drafts to be submitted thereunder shall have an expiry date which is in advance of such five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date by the number of days
contemplated for such time drafts); provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in
clause (ii) above). 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank hereby grants to each U.S. Revolving Lender (with respect to
each U.S. Letter of Credit) and the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Multicurrency Revolving Lender (with respect to each Canadian Letter of Credit), and each U.S. Revolving Lender


  
 61 









 
hereby acquires from the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank and each Multicurrency Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank, as the case may be, a participation in
each such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (i) with respect to each U.S.
Letter of Credit, each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent and (ii) with respect to each Canadian Letter of Credit, each applicable Multicurrency Revolving Lender
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, in the same currency in which such Canadian Letter of Credit is issued or in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount thereof, to the Administrative Agent, in each case for the account of
the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in clause (e) of this Section, or of
any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this clause in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the U.S. Borrower (with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for its account) or the
Canadian Borrower (with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for its account), as applicable, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent, in the same currency as the applicable LC Disbursement or in Dollars in an
amount equal to the Dollar Amount thereof, an amount equal to such LC Disbursement (i) not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative shall have received notice of such LC
Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on such date, or, (ii) if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on (A) the Business
Day that the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the day of receipt, or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative receives such
notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that
such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or U.S. Swingline Loan (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or Multicurrency Swingline Loan (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit) in an equivalent
amount and, to the extent so financed (in the event that such LC Disbursement with respect to a U.S. Letter of Credit was made in Canadian Dollars, such Borrowing Request shall be for an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement),
the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or Swingline Loan (or the applicable portion thereof). If the Borrowers fail to make such
payment 

  
 62 









 
when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in the same currency as the applicable LC Disbursement or in the Dollar Amount thereof (in the case
of U.S. Letter of Credit made in Canadian Dollars), its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the U.S.
Revolving Lenders or the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, as applicable. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from either Borrower pursuant to this clause, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that U.S. Revolving Lenders (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or Multicurrency Revolving Lenders (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit) have made payments pursuant to this
clause to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such U.S. Revolving Lenders or Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, as applicable, and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender
pursuant to this clause to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Letters of
Credit) as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan (but shall be U.S. Secured Obligations (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) and Canadian Secured Obligations (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit)) and shall not relieve the
applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Exchange Indemnification and
Increased Costs. The U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall, upon demand from any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender, pay to such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased
cost incurred by such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender; (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender; or (iii) any currency exchange loss, in each
case with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), that such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender sustains as a result of the applicable Borrowers’ repayment in Dollars of any Letter of Credit that was denominated in
Canadian Dollars. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Bank shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save
for manifest error. 
 (g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ respective obligations to reimburse
LC Disbursements as provided in clause (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever
and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any 

  
 63 









 
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.06, constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or
responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any
error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in
interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the
Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the applicable
Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept
and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance
with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (h) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank
shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by
telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers
of their obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (i) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the
date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC


  
 64 









 
Disbursement, (i) in the case of LC Disbursements in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit made in Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving
Loans and (ii) in the case of an LC Disbursement in respect of Canadian Letters of Credit made in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Letters of Credit made in Canadian Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans;
provided that, if U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.06, then Section 2.13(f) shall apply.
Interest accrued pursuant to this clause shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to clause (e) of this
Section 2.06 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (j) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the
successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account
of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement
with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank”, “U.S. Issuing Bank” and “Canadian Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any
previous Issuing Bank, U.S. Issuing Bank or Canadian Issuing Bank, as applicable, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, U.S. Issuing Banks or Canadian Issuing Banks, as applicable, as the context shall require. After the replacement
of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (k) Cash
Collateralization. Subject to Section 2.18(b), if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if
the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the aggregate LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this clause or if any of the other
provisions hereof require cash collateralization, (i) the U.S. Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Parties for the purpose of securing
the Secured Obligations (the “LC Collateral Account”), cash in the applicable currency and in an amount equal to 105% of the U.S. LC Exposure as of such date and (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Multicurrency Secured Parties for the purpose of securing the Canadian Secured Obligations (the “Canadian LC Collateral Account”), cash in the
applicable currency in an amount equal to 105% of the Canadian LC Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective 

  
 65 









 
immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposits, (A) if made into the LC Collateral Account, shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations and (B) if made into the Canadian LC Collateral Account, shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Canadian Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such accounts, and (x) the U.S. Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing the Secured Obligations) a security
interest in the LC Collateral Account and (y) the Canadian Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Multicurrency Secured Parties, securing the Canadian Obligations) a security interest in the Canadian LC
Collateral Account; provided that nothing in this sentence of this Section 2.06(k) shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.14. Other than any interest earned on the
investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral Account or the Canadian LC Collateral Account, as applicable. Moneys in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the U.S. Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements
in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the U.S. Borrower for the U.S. LC Exposure at such time or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with U.S. LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the aggregate U.S. LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. Moneys in the
Canadian LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Canadian Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements in respect of Canadian Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied,
shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Canadian Borrower for the Canadian LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with
Canadian LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the aggregate Canadian LC Exposure), to be applied to satisfy other Canadian Secured Obligations. If either Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result
of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived as confirmed in writing by the
Administrative Agent. 
 (l) LC Exposure Reporting. Each Issuing Bank shall, not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York time, on each Business Day, notify the Administrative Agent in reasonable detail as to the amount of the LC Exposure with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. 

(m) Existing Letters of Credit. On the Effective Date, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit, to the extent
outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by 

  
 66 









 
the parties thereto deemed converted into Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.06 at the request of the U.S. Borrower and subject to the provisions hereof as if such Existing
Letters of Credit had been issued on the Effective Date, (ii) such Letters of Credit shall be included in the calculation of “U.S. LC Exposure” and (iii) all liabilities of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties with respect to
such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations. No Existing Letter of Credit converted in accordance with this Section 2.06(m) shall be amended, extended or renewed except in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional issuance fees with respect to the issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit solely as a result of such letter of credit being converted into a Letter of Credit hereunder, it being
understood that the fronting, participation and other fees set forth in Section 2.12(b) shall otherwise apply to such Existing Letters of Credit. 
 Section 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that, Swingline Loans
shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account; provided that
Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement in respect of a U.S. Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank; (ii) an
LC Disbursement in respect of a Canadian Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank; and (iii) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall
be retained by the Administrative Agent. U.S. Loans and participations in U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. Letters of Credit will be funded by each U.S. Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Commitment.
Multicurrency Loans and participations in Multicurrency Swingline Loans and Canadian Letters of Credit will be funded by each Multicurrency Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Multicurrency Commitment.

 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an applicable Lender prior to the proposed
date of any Borrowing (or, in the case of any ABR Borrowing or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, prior to the time of such proposed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable
Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if an applicable Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on 

  
 67 









 
interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of Dollar denominated amounts) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (in the case
of Canadian Dollar denominated amounts). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

Section 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the
applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such
Borrowing to a different Type, to convert CDOR Borrowing to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) into CDOR Borrowings) or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case
each such portion shall be allocated ratably (in accordance with the principal amount of the applicable Loans) among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request
would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall
be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile or electronic communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower
Representative. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the name of the applicable Borrower, the Facility
and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies, the relevant currency and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in
which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurodollar Borrowing. a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing
or a CDOR Borrowing; and 

  
 68 









 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR
Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of
one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative
Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted or continued to (i) an ABR Borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) a
Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, in the case of a CDOR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies
the Borrower Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (x) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing and (y) unless repaid, (A) each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (b) each CDOR Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto. 
 Section 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) The
Borrowers may at any time terminate the Revolving Commitments upon (i) the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit; (ii) the cancellation and return
of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively and without duplication, (A) (x) with respect to each U.S. Letter of Credit, the deposit in the LC Collateral Account of cash in the relevant currency equal to 105% of the U.S. LC
Exposure or (y) with respect to each Canadian Letter of Credit, the deposit in the Canadian LC Collateral Account of cash in the relevant currency equal to 105% of the Canadian LC Exposure; (B) with the consent of the Administrative Agent
and each applicable U.S. Issuing Bank (if in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit) or each applicable Canadian Issuing Bank (if in respect of Canadian Letters of Credit), back-up standby letters of credit in the relevant currency equal to 105% of each
of the U.S. LC Exposure and Canadian LC Exposure as of such date; or (C) the inclusion of such Letters of Credit in a credit facility that refinances the Obligations outstanding under this Agreement); (iii) the payment in full in cash of
the accrued and unpaid fees; and (iv) the payment in full in cash of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

  
 69 









 (c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000; (ii) each reduction to the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the
U.S. Commitment and the Multicurrency Commitment ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of such commitments at such time; and (ii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments or the Multicurrency Commitment if, after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. 

(d) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving
Commitments under clause (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following
receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of
termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative
(by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall
be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. 
 (e) The Borrowers
shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitments by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments (but in no event in excess of $100,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases), either from one or more of the Lenders or from other
lending institutions provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, (ii) the Administrative Agent has approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, (iii) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, (iv) any such additional Revolving Commitment shall be on the same terms as the other Revolving Commitment,
(v) the procedures described in Section 2.09(f) have been satisfied and (vi) each such increase shall increase the U.S. Commitment and the Multicurrency Commitment ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of such
Revolving Commitments at such time. 
 (f) Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender being added or increasing its Revolving Commitment, subject only to the approval of all
Lenders if any such increase would cause the Revolving Commitments to exceed $500,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase, (i) the Borrower Representative shall deliver to 

  
 70 









 
the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party certifying and attaching the resolutions
adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article
III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of such increase and (C) neither the funding of such increase nor the existence of the Liens securing such increase will violate the terms of the
Convertible Senior Note Documents, the Senior Unsecured Note Documents, the Subordinated Convertible Note Documents or the 2007 Senior Unsecured Convertible Note Documents, or the documentation of any other Indebtedness of any Loan Party, in each
case as in effect on the date of such increase, (ii) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have been paid and (iii) the Borrowers shall have delivered all customary
agreements, certificates, opinions and other customary documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 (g) Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Revolving Commitment Schedule to reflect such
increase and shall distribute such revised Revolving Commitment Schedule to each of the Lenders and the Borrowers, whereupon such revised Revolving Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Revolving Commitment Schedule and become part of this
Agreement. On the Business Day following any such increase, all outstanding ABR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised
Applicable Percentages and the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be
necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation. Eurodollar Loans and CDOR Loans shall not be reallocated among the Lenders until the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of
any such increase, at which time any such Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Loans being continued shall be reallocated, and any such Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Loans being converted to ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, shall be converted
and allocated, among the Lenders (including the newly added Lenders) at such time; provided that if an Event of Default occurs after the date of any such increase but prior to the reallocation of the Loans such Loans shall, subject to
Section 2.16, be reallocated among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Commitment. 

Section 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date; (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of
the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent; and (iii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Overadvance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent. 

  
 71 









 (b) On each Business Day during a Cash Management Period, subject to
Section 2.18(b), (i) the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to the Collection Deposit Accounts of the U.S. Loan Parties on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available), first, to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, and second, to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) and to
cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure in accordance with Section 2.06(k); provided that any such application of funds shall, as to each of priority first and second above, be made from the
Collection Deposit Accounts of the U.S. Loan Parties, first, in respect of the U.S. Obligations, and, second, in respect of the Canadian Obligations; and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited
to the Canadian Collection Deposit Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available), first to prepay any Multicurrency
Protective Advances and Multicurrency Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the Multicurrency Revolving Loans (including Multicurrency Swingline Loans) and to cash collateralize outstanding Canadian LC
Exposure in accordance with Section 2.06(k); provided that any such application of funds in this clause (ii) shall be made from the Canadian Collection Deposit Account solely in respect of the Canadian Obligations.

 (c) All amounts applied pursuant to clause (b) of this Section (i) to U.S. Obligations
shall be applied pro rata as among the U.S. Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective aggregate outstanding amounts of U.S. Revolving Loans and (ii) to Canadian Obligations shall be applied pro rata as among the Multicurrency
Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective aggregate outstanding amounts of Multicurrency Revolving Loans. 
 (d) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender,
including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made
hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of
any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (f) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 72 









 (g) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such
form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 Section 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in
accordance with clause (f) of this Section 2.11. 
 (b) Except for Overadvances permitted
under Section 2.05, in the event and on such occasion that the Borrowers are not in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations, the Borrowers shall promptly prepay (or, in the case of the LC Exposure, cash collateralize) the
Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount that, after giving effect to such prepayments or cash collateralizations the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. 

(c) If the Administrative Agent determines that the outstanding principal Dollar Amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit issued exceeds any limitation set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.06(b), then not later than one Business Day after notice of the amount of such excess from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative, the U.S.
Borrower shall deposit in the LC Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to such excess (to be held as cash collateral in accordance with Section 2.06(k)). 

(d) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings or any other Loan
Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by Holdings or any other Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(e) below in an aggregate amount
equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds to the extent such Obligations are then outstanding, provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of the term “Prepayment
Event”, such prepayments shall apply only during any Cash Management Period. If the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Loan Parties intend to apply the
Net Proceeds from an event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event” within 270 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds to
acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Net Proceeds specified in
such certificate shall not (subject to 

  
 73 









 
Section 7.1 of the Security Agreement) be required to be immediately applied to the Obligations upon receipt thereof, provided that if all or any portion of such Net Proceeds is not
so reinvested within such 270-day period, such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as set forth in Section 2.11(e) below; provided, further, that if the property subject
to such Prepayment Event constituted Collateral, then all property purchased with the Net Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Collateral Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Secured Parties; provided, further, however, that to the extent that, as a result of such Prepayment Event, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations (except with
respect to Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05) immediately after giving effect to such Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). 

(e) All such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(d) shall be applied, first, to prepay any
Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second, to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitments and to cash collateralize
outstanding LC Exposure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such application of proceeds from Collateral securing solely the Canadian Secured Obligations shall be made solely in respect of the Canadian Secured Obligations. 

(f) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan,
each applicable Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or electronic communication) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR
Rate Revolving Borrowing, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Borrowing not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago time, on the date of
prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a
conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in
the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall
be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. 
 Section 2.12. Fees.
(a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to (i), if the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Commitment is greater than 50% of
the total Revolving Commitments during the period in respect of which the payment is being made, 

  
 74 









 
0.50% per annum, and (ii), if the average daily unused portion of the total Revolving Commitments is less than or equal to 50% of the total Revolving Commitment during the period in respect
of which the payment is being made, 0.375% per annum, in each case on the average daily amount such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Available Revolving Commitment during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. 

(b) The (i) U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Revolving Lender a
participation fee with respect to its participations in U.S. Letters of Credit and (ii) Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its
participations in Canadian Letters of Credit, which in each case, shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans in the case of Dollar denominated Letters of Credit and CDOR Rate Loans in
the case of Canadian Dollar denominated Letters of Credit on the average daily amount of such Lender’s applicable LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure. In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable
Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including
the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar quarter shall be payable on the first day of each January,
April, July and October following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees
accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this clause shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and
fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (c) The Borrowers agree to pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letter and the U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, all other fees payable in the amounts and at the
times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 75 









 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be
refundable under any circumstances. 
 Section 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
(including each applicable Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 

(c) Each (i) U.S. Protective Advance, each U.S. Overadvance and each Multicurrency Protective Advance denominated in
Dollars shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate plus 2% and (ii) each Multicurrency Overadvance and each Multicurrency Protective Advance denominated in Canadian Dollars shall bear
interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate plus 2%. 
 (d) The
Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing (including each applicable Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 

(e) The Loans comprising each CDOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the CDOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for
such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any
provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as
provided in the preceding clauses of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.

 (g) Accrued interest on each Loan (for ABR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar month)
shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 2.13 shall be
payable on demand; (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount
repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment; and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan
shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

  
 76 









 (h) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate or CDOR Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The
applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, CDOR Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and each such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(i) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid
hereunder or under any other Loan Document is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest or fees to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent, is the
rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time. 
 Section 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders
that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing unless such Borrowing Request is then rescinded by written notice from the Borrower Representative to the
Administrative Agent (any such notice to provide the Administrative Agent and the Lenders sufficient time to act thereon prior to funding of the requested Borrowing). 

(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a CDOR Borrowing: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the CDOR Rate for such Interest Period; or 

  
 77 









 (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
CDOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of
any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a CDOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a CDOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing unless
such Borrowing Request is then rescinded by written notice from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent (any such notice to provide the Administrative Agent and the Lenders sufficient time to act thereon prior to funding of the
requested Borrowing). 
 Section 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or any
participation therein; or 
 (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income,
profits or receipts (including value-added or similar Taxes)); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to (A) increase the cost
to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), (B) increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or (C) reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 78 









 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing
Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower
Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR
Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d)
and is revoked in accordance therewith, but not if such notice is rescinded pursuant to Section 2.14), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a
result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan
or a CDOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of
such Loan had such event not 

  
 79 









 
occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or CDOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period to such
Eurodollar Loan from other banks in the eurodollar market, or for Canadian Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period to such CDOR Loan from other banks in the Canadian bankers’ acceptance market, as applicable. A certificate of any
Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2,16 shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 2.17.
Taxes. (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent
determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable
under this Section 2.17), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a
Governmental Authority, such Loan Party or the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Canadian Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally with respect to the
Canadian Facility, and the U.S. Loan Parties shall, jointly and several with respect to the Facility, indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including
amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.17(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority; provided that if the Loan Party reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Recipient will use reasonable efforts to cooperate (including where applicable, by promptly applying for a refund) with
the Loan 

  
 80 









 
Party to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which Taxes shall be repaid to the Loan Party in accordance with Section 2.17(g)) so long as such efforts would not cause the Recipient to
suffer any economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage that it, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines to be material (and the Loan Party shall reimburse the Recipient for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the
Recipient incurred in pursuing such refund). The indemnity under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to the Borrower Representative a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so
paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the
Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan
Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the
amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. 
 (f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver
to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall
deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is
subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost
or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered
pursuant to this Section 2.17(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly


  
 81 









 
(and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or
inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. 
 (ii) Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: 

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal
backup withholding tax; 
 (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of
such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or
“other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments
under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected; 

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement


  
 82 









 
(including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C),
(D) and (F) of this clause (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the
Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 on behalf of
such partners; or 
 (F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction
of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld. 

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the
time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under
FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an
amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified
party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid
to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this 

  
 83 









 
Section 2.17(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) if such payment would
place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This
Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 (h) Issuing Bank. For purposes of Section 2.17(e) and (f), the term
“Lender” includes any Issuing Bank. 
 Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of
Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15,
2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. All payments (i) in respect of Loans (and interest thereon) and LC Exposure
shall, except as expressly set forth herein, be made in the same currency in which such Loan was made or Letter of Credit issued, and (ii) in respect of all other amounts payable hereunder or under other Loan Documents shall be paid in Dollars.
All such payments shall be made and allocated, (x) in the case of the U.S. Loans, for the account of the U.S. Revolving Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such U.S. Loans and the U.S. LC Exposure,
and (y) in the case of the applicable Multicurrency Loans, for the account of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Multicurrency Loans and Canadian LC Exposure, in each
case made to the applicable Borrower held by them. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street,
22nd Floor, Chicago, Illinois, except that
(i) payments of Multicurrency Loans and LC Disbursements or fronting fees that are payable to any Canadian Issuing Bank, shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 200 Bay Street, Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, Suite 1800,
Toronto M5J 2J2 Canada and (ii) payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be paid as expressly provided herein; provided that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If
any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period
of such extension. 
 (b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not
constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance
with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be applied from the U.S. Collection Deposit Account or the Canadian Collection Deposit Account, during any Cash Management Period (which shall be


  
 84 









 
applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so
direct and at all times after the exercise of remedies against the Collateral by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, such funds shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements
including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the
Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the
Overadvances and Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the
Overadvances and Protective Advances), unreimbursed LC Disbursements, and Qualified Secured Swap Obligations in an amount equal to the lesser of such Qualified Secured Swap Obligations and the amount most recently provided to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, ratably, seventh, to deposit in the U.S. LC Collateral Account and the Canadian LC Collateral Account cash (as provided in Section 2.06(k)) collateral equal to 105% of the sum of
the U.S. LC Exposure and Canadian LC Exposure, as the case may be, to be held as cash collateral for the Secured Obligations (in the case of amounts on deposit in the U.S. LC Collateral Account) and the Canadian Secured Obligations (in the case of
amounts on deposit in the Canadian LC Collateral Account), as the case may be, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations constituting Secured Obligations (other than Qualified Secured
Swap Obligations) up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply
any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans
(with respect to payments on the U.S. Revolving Loans) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (with respect to payments on the Multicurrency Revolving Loans) and, in any such event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with
Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such application of proceeds from Collateral securing solely the Canadian Secured Obligations shall be made solely in respect of Canadian Secured Obligations. 

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums,
reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether
made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section 2.18 or may be 

  
 85 









 
deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for
the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and
Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to
Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it
becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents. 
 (d) If, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender
receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other similarly situated Lender, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of
the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this clause shall not be construed to apply
to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this clause shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent
it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (e) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount
due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so


  
 86 









 
distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or, in the case of amounts due in Dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, if greater. 

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may,
in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to
(i) and (ii) above shall be made in such order as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

Section 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender, Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) If (1) any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15, (2) the Borrowers
are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, or (3) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the
Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or Issuing Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld,
(ii) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to 

  
 87 









 
it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments in the future.
No Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or Issuing Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply. 
 Section 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 

(b) such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the
extent expressly provided in Section 9.02(b)) and the Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders have taken or may
take any action hereunder; 
 (c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting
Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline
Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the
Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the applicable
Issuing Bank, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.06(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 
 (iii) if the Borrowers cash
collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 

  
 88 









 (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated
pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash
collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (to the extent not reallocated or cash collateralized) shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any
Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with
Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i)
(and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Parent of any
Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which
such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to such
Issuing Bank to defease any risk in respect of such Lender hereunder. 
 In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the
Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be
readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent
shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

Section 2.21. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void
or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force
as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 

  
 89 









 
shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The
provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 2.22. Banking
Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate thereof (other than Chase) (i) providing Banking Services for any Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent prompt written notice (executed by such Lender or Affiliate and
the Borrower Representative) setting forth the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations of such Loan Party to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent) and (ii) having Swap Agreements with any
Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice (executed by such Lender or Affiliate and the Borrower Representative) setting forth the aggregate amount of all Swap Obligations of such Loan Party to such Lender or Affiliate
(whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent), which notices shall otherwise be consistent with, and delivered within the time period required by, the definition of Canadian Secured Obligation or U.S. Secured Obligations, as applicable. In
furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall furnish the Administrative Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, but in any event not less than monthly, a summary of the
amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations. The most recent information provided to the Administrative Agent shall be used in determining which tier of the waterfall, contained in
Section 2.18(b), such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Obligations will be placed. The Administrative Agent accepts no responsibility and shall have no liability for (i) at any time determining which Lenders or Affiliates
hold, or which Swap Obligations constitute, Secured Obligations or Qualified Secured Swap Obligations or (ii) the calculation of the exposure owing by the Loan Parties under any such Qualified Secured Swap Agreements or other Swap Obligations,
and shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable counterparty and the applicable Loan Party party to such agreement for the calculation thereof. 
 Section 2.23. Excess Resulting From Exchange Rate Change. (a) With respect to the Multicurrency Commitment, if at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the
Canadian Dollar against the Dollar, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations, or any other limitations hereunder based in Dollars, (i) if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or
equal to $1,000,000, within two Business Days of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, (ii) if such excess is an aggregate amount that is less than $1,000,000 and such excess continues to exist in an aggregate amount less than
$1,000,000 for at least five Business Days, within two Business Days of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, or (iii) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall immediately (A) make the necessary
payments or repayments to reduce the applicable Canadian Obligations to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (B) in the case of the Canadian Borrower, maintain or cause to be maintained with the Administrative Agent (for the benefit
of the Multicurrency Secured Parties) deposits as continuing collateral security for the Canadian Obligations in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent shall, weekly or more frequently in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent make the necessary
exchange rate calculations to determine whether any such excess exists on such date and advise the Borrowers if such excess exists. 

  
 90 









 (b) If the U.S. Borrower provides cash collateral to secure obligations
related to U.S. Letters of Credit that are denominated in Canadian Dollars and, as a result of fluctuations in the applicable exchange rate between Dollars and the Canadian Dollar, the Dollar Amount of cash collateral held by the Administrative
Agent is less than the specified amount of cash collateral so required to be maintained by the U.S. Borrower the U.S. Borrower shall, promptly following a request therefor by the Administrative Agent, deposit in the LC Collateral Account an
additional Dollar Amount of cash collateral equal to such shortfall to be held as cash collateral in accordance with Section 2.06(k).

Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for each fiscal quarter ended after December 31, 2010 through the date of this Agreement, certified by a Financial Officer of Holdings. Such financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP or IFRS, as applicable,
subject to normal year-end audit adjustments (all of which, when taken as a whole, would not be materially adverse) and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above. 

(b) No event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse
Effect, since December 31, 2010. 
 Section 3.05. Properties. (a) As of the date of this Agreement,
Schedule 3.05 sets forth the address or description of each parcel of real property that is owned or leased by each Loan Party which, in the case of real property owned by a Loan Party, has a fair market value (as reasonably determined by the
Borrower) in excess of $1,000,000, and in the case of real property leased by a Loan Party contains tangible Collateral with an aggregate fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) in excess of $1,000,000. Each of such leases and

examinership, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (to the extent that such concepts are applicable in
the relevant jurisdiction), and is in full force and effect, and no default by any Loan Party party thereto or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, other party thereto, to any such lease or sublease exists. Each of the Loan Parties and its

(b) Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all material trademarks, tradenames, copyrights,
patents, industrial designs and other intellectual property necessary to its business as currently conducted, and the use thereof by each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries does not infringe in any material respect upon the rights of any other Person,
and, except as set forth on Schedule 3.05, each Loan Party’s rights thereto are not subject to any licensing agreement or similar arrangement. A correct and complete list of all material trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and
other intellectual property, as of the date of this Agreement, is set forth on Schedule 3.05. 
 Section 3.06.
Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse
Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions. 

  
 92 









 (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters (i) no Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability that in either case could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries
(1) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability. 

(c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually
or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 Section 3.08. Investment Company
Status. No Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 Section 3.09. Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all
Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or
(b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has
withheld all employee withholdings and has made all employer contributions required to be withheld and made by it pursuant to applicable law on account of the Canada and Quebec pension plans, employment insurance and employee income taxes.

 Section 3.10. Pension Plans. 

(a) ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other
such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions
used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $100,000,000 the fair market


  
 93 









 
value of the assets of such Pension Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $100,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans. As of
the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such
Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan
and are not in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan, except for non-compliance which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) Canadian Pension Plans and Canadian Benefit Plans. Schedule 3.10 lists all Canadian Benefit Plans and
Canadian Pension Plans. The Canadian Pension Plans are duly registered under the ITA and all other Applicable Pension Laws which require registration. Each Canadian Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has complied with and performed all of its
obligations under and in respect of the Canadian Pension Plans and Canadian Benefit Plans under the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable laws (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations), except
where any non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All employer and employee payments, contributions or premiums to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Canadian Pension Plan or Canadian Benefit
Plan have been paid in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreement and all applicable laws. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, there have been no improper withdrawals or applications of assets of the Canadian
Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans. No promises of benefit improvements under the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans have been made except where such improvement could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The pension fund under each Canadian Pension Plan is exempt from the payment of any income tax and there are no taxes, penalties or interest owing in respect of any such pension fund. All material reports and disclosures relating to the
Canadian Pension Plans required by such plans and any Requirement of Law to be filed or distributed have been filed or distributed, except where any non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No facts or
circumstances have occurred or exist that could result, or be reasonably anticipated to result, in the termination in full of any Canadian Pension Plan by any Governmental Authority under Applicable Pension Laws. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.10, there are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans, except claims for benefits in the normal course. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, the most recent actuarial
valuations filed under Applicable Pension Laws indicated that each of the Canadian Pension Plans is fully funded on both a going concern and on a solvency basis. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, no material changes have occurred


  
 94 









 
since the date of such actuarial valuation reports which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the conclusions of the actuary concerning the funding of any Canadian Pension
Plan. 
 Section 3.11. Disclosure. Each Borrower and Holdings have disclosed to the Lenders all agreements,
instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, to the extent that any such report, financial statement, certificate or other information was based upon or constitutes forecasted or projected financial information,
the Borrowers and Holdings each represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time delivered, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, however, that
projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by said projections may differ from the projected results. 

Section 3.12. Material Agreements. No Loan Party is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the
obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any agreement to which it is a party or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness, except for such defaults that could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.13. Solvency. (a) Immediately after the consummation of the
Transactions to occur on the Effective Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (ii) the present fair saleable value of
the property of each Loan Party will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and
matured; (iii) each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) no Loan Party will have unreasonably small capital
with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted after the Effective Date. 
 (b) No Loan Party intends to, or will permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and no Loan Party believes that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they
mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary and the timing of the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary.

 (c) With respect to any Canadian Loan Party, immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur
on the Effective Date, (i) the property of each 

  
 95 









 
Canadian Loan Party, at a fair valuation, is greater than the total amount of its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (ii) each Canadian Loan Party’s property
is sufficient, if disposed of at a fairly conducted sale under legal process, to enable payment of all its obligations, due and accruing due; (iii) each Canadian Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent
or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities generally become due; and (iv) each Canadian Loan Party has not ceased paying its current obligations in the ordinary course of business as they generally become due. 

Section 3.14. Insurance. Schedule 3.14 sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the
Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries) as of the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, all premiums in respect of such insurance have been paid. The Borrowers and Holdings believe that the insurance maintained by
or on behalf of the Loan Parties is adequate. 
 Section 3.15. Capitalization and Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.15
sets forth (a) a list of the name and relationship to Holdings of each of the Loan Parties and First-Tier Foreign Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries), (b) a listing of each class of each Loan Party’s and First-Tier
Foreign Subsidiary’s authorized Equity Interests, of which all of such issued shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests), and owned
beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 3.15, (c) the type of entity of each Loan Party and each First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries), and (d) a chart of the organizational
structure of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests owned by any Loan Party have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly
authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. 
 Section 3.16. Security Interest in Collateral. The
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral granted by (a) the U.S. Loan Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties, securing the Secured Obligations) and (b) the Canadian Loan Parties (and, in the case of Equity Interests of the Canadian Borrower, Holdings) in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Multicurrency Secured Parties
securing the Canadian Secured Obligations), as the case may be, and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the relevant Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third
parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Encumbrances, to the extent any such Permitted Encumbrances would have priority over the Administrative Agent’s Liens pursuant to any
applicable law and (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Administrative Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral. 

Section 3.17. Employment Matters. As of the Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries have not in any manner which could reasonably be expected to result


  
 96 









 
in a Material Adverse Effect been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Standards Act (Ontario) or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial, local or
foreign law dealing with such matters. All payments due from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, on account of wages, vacation pay and employee health and welfare insurance
and other benefits, including with respect to the Canadian Benefit Plans, the Canada Pension Plan and the Quebec Pension Plan, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Loan Party or such Subsidiary, except where the failure to do
so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.18. Common Enterprise. The
successful operation and condition of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on
the successful performance and operation of each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and
indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties and (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrowers hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies. Each Loan
Party has determined that execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to be executed by such Loan Party is within its purpose, in furtherance of its direct and/or indirect business interests, will be of direct
and/or indirect benefit to such Loan Party, and is in its best interest. 
 Section 3.19. Margin Stock. No Borrower
nor any other Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the Board). None of the
proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used by the Borrowers or any Subsidiaries for the purpose of purchasing or carrying “margin stock” as defined in Regulation U of the Board or otherwise in violation of Regulations T, U or X
of the Board.

Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC, the PPSA, the Civil Code of Quebec or any other legislation. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions 

  
 131









 
on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 For the purposes of holding any security granted by the Borrowers or
any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any bond issued by any Borrower or any Loan Party, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the person
holding the power of attorney (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter
into, to take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as
the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the
Secured Parties to hold and be the sole registered holder of any bond which may be issued under any hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable
law, and to execute all related documents. Each of the Attorney and the Custodian shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and
remedies given to the Attorney and the Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any hypothec, bond, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis
mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lenders, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any
hypothec, bond, or pledge on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (i) the
Attorney as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity, and (ii) the Custodian as the agent and custodian as
aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Custodian in such capacity. The Substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8 shall also constitute the substitution
of the Attorney and the Custodian. 
 The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative
Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the 

  
 132









 
Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and
any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative
Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted 

  
 133









 
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges 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 credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges
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 from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking
action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or
warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information
contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the
Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports
confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification
provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs,
expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying
Lender. 
 The Sole Lead Arranger shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

	 	(iv)	if to any other Lender or any Issuing Bank, to it at its address or facsimile number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. 


All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed
to have been given when received or (ii) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent, provided that if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of
business on the next Business Day for the recipient. 
 (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and internet or 

  
 136









 
intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II or to compliance and no
Default certificates delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in its
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as
available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next
Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (b)(i) of
notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 
 (c)
Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. 
 Section 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) of this Section 9.02,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as
a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or
modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Revolving
Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of 

  
 137









 
any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such
Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable
hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender)
directly affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.10(c), Section 2.18(b) or (d), or the third sentence of Section 2.18(a), in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without
the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (E) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of “U.S. Borrowing Base” or “Canadian Borrowing Base”, without the
written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (F) modify eligibility criteria, as such eligibility criteria are in effect on the Effective Date (including adding new categories of eligible assets or
eliminating any category of the reserves), in any manner that has the effect of increasing the amounts available to be borrowed hereunder without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; (G) change any of the provisions of this
Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or
modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (H) change Section 2.20, without the consent
of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (I) release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender
(other than any Defaulting Lender), or (J) except as provided in clause (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other
than any Defaulting Lender); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each
Swingline Lender). The Administrative Agent may also amend the Revolving Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. 

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to
release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated
Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of (including Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary that
ceases to be First Tier Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to a Permitted Reorganization) if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale 

  
 138









 
or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that
the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty provided by such Subsidiary, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party
under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (or each Lender, to
the extent required by clause (J) of Section 9.02(b)); provided that, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of 5.0% of the sum of the
total Revolving Commitments at such time during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (or each Lender, to the extent required by clause (J) of Section 9.02(b)). Any such release
shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds
of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 
 (d) If, in connection with any
proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such
Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that,
concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the
Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the
requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but
unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if
any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

 Section 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without
limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the 

  
 139









 
preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and
(iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with
the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section 9.03 include, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with: 
 (i) appraisals and insurance reviews;

 (ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by
the Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination; 
 (iii) background checks regarding senior management and/or key investors, as deemed necessary or appropriate in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent; 

(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien and title searches and title insurance and (B) recording the
Collateral Documents, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agent’s Liens; 
 (v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and 

(vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts
and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral. 
 All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to
the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c). 

(b) The U.S. Borrower (and, to the extent relating to any Canadian Loan Parties, any Multicurrency Loans, Canadian Letters
of Credit, or other Canadian Secured Obligations, any Canadian Security Agreement, or any other Canadian matters, the Canadian Borrower) shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of
the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, incremental taxes, liabilities and related expenses, including
the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, 

  
 140









 
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument
contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit),
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of the Borrowers to deliver to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by the Borrowers for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17,
or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

 (c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the
case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e)
All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 

Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of 

  
 141









 
Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions
set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (provided that no such assignment shall be permitted to a Person whose primary business is the manufacture and/or distribution of wire and cable products) all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
of: 
 (A) the Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 

(B) the Administrative Agent; and 

(C) the Issuing Banks. 
 (ii) 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, an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Loans
of any Class, the amount of the Revolving Commitment 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 $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment (I) if in respect of the
U.S. Facility, of a proportionate 

  
 142









 
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to the U.S. Facility and (II) if in respect of the Multicurrency Facility, of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to the Multicurrency Facility; 
 (C) the parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all
syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in
accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: 

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or
investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that
administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause
(b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 9.04. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and


  
 143









 
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing
Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register
unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause.

 (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) (provided that no such participation shall be permitted to a Participant whose primary business is the manufacture and/or distribution of
wire and cable products) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the


  
 144









 
documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under clause
(b) of this Section 9.04; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled
to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. 
 To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and
the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to
disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United
States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge
or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this
Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 Section 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied
upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 

  
 145









 
9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the
expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 Section 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the
entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 9.07.
Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without
affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at
any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided that any failure to give or
any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section 9.08. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 Section 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to
Service of Process. (a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of New
York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks, provided that appointment of the Administrative Agent as fondé de pouvoir in accordance with Article VIII shall be governed by the laws of the province
of Quebec.

 (b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by
law, in such Federal court; provided that claims with respect to any Loan Document executed by any Canadian Loan Party and any agreements, instruments and certificates delivered in connection therewith may, as provided therein, also be tried
in the courts of the Province of Ontario. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided
by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each party to this
Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in clause (b) of this Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this
Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any

 Section 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction; (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section 9.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations; (g) with the consent of the Borrower Representative; or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, which source
is not known to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable, to be in breach of confidentiality with respect to such Information. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means
all information received directly or indirectly from the Borrowers relating to any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, any Affiliate thereof, or the business of any of the foregoing, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers (unless the source is known to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable, to be in breach of confidentiality with
respect to such Information); provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN
SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDINGS OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR
RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW,
INCLUDING FEDERAL, STATE AND OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS. 
 ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND
AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE 

  
 148









 
AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT HOLDINGS, THE LOAN PARTIES AND
THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO EACH LOAN PARTY AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT
MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL, STATE AND OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS. 
 Section 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan
or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided
for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of Law. 

Section 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the
Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that
will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 Section 9.15. Disclosure.
Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their
respective Affiliates. 
 Section 9.16. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as
its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens granted (a) in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties to secure the Secured Obligations) or (b) in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Multicurrency
Secured Parties to secure the Canadian Secured Obligations), in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain
possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such
Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. 
 Section 9.17. Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively
the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be 

  
 149









 
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together
with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section 9.17 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 

Section 9.18. Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount
due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking
procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency at the Spot Rate on the date two Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Loan Party agrees that its obligation in respect of any
Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Administrative Agent receives payment of any sum so
adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid;
and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Loan Party agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment
to indemnify the Administrative Agent against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 9.18 means the spot rate at which the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date
to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase. 
 Section 9.19. Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. (a) Each Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist
financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws in each relevant jurisdiction (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Issuing Banks may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrowers and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Borrowers, and the
transactions contemplated hereby. Each Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender,
any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. 
 (b) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

 (i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and this Agreement
shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between such Issuing Bank or such Lender and the Administrative within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and 

  
 150









 (ii) shall provide to each Issuing Bank and each Lender copies of all
information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrowers or any authorized signatories of the Borrowers on behalf
of any Lender or Issuing Bank, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so. 
 Section 9.20. Lender Loss Sharing Agreement. 
 (a)
Definitions. As used in this Section 9.20, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 (i) “CAM” means the mechanism for the allocation and exchange of interests in the Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and collections thereunder established under

 (ii) “CAM Exchange” means the exchange of the U.S. Revolving
Lenders’ interests and the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders’ interests provided for in Section 9.20(b). 
 (iii) “CAM Exchange Date” means the first date after the Effective Date on which there shall occur (a) any event described in clauses (h) or (i) of Article
VII with respect to any Borrower or (b) an acceleration of Loans and termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Article VII. 
 (iv) “CAM Percentage” means, as to each Revolving Lender, a fraction, expressed as a decimal, of which (a) the numerator shall be the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Credit Exposure
owed to such Revolving Lender (whether or not at the time due and payable) and (b) the denominator shall be the aggregate Dollar Amount (as so determined) of the Credit Exposure owed to all the Revolving Lenders (whether or not at the time due
and payable). 
 (v) “Designated Obligations” means all Obligations of the Borrowers with
respect to (a) principal and interest under the Loans, (b) unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit and interest thereon and (c) fees under Section 2.12. 

(b) CAM Exchange. 
 (i) On the CAM Exchange Date, 

  
 151









 (1) the U.S. Commitment and the Multicurrency Commitment shall terminate in
accordance with Article VII; 
 (2) each U.S. Revolving Lender shall fund in Dollars at par Dollar Amount
its participation in any outstanding Swingline Loans and Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.04 and Section 2.05 of this Agreement, and each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall fund in Dollars at par Dollar
Amount its participation in any outstanding Swingline Loans and Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.04 and Section 2.05; 
 (3) each U.S. Revolving Lender shall fund in Dollars at par Dollar Amount its participation in any unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under the U.S. Letters of Credit in accordance with
Section 2.06(e), and each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall fund in Dollars at par Dollar Amount its participation in any unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under the Canadian Letters of Credit in accordance with
Section 2.06(e); and 
 (4) the Lenders shall purchase in Dollars at par Dollar Amount interests in
the Designated Obligations under each Facility (and shall make payments in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for reallocation to other Lenders to the extent necessary to give effect to such purchases) and shall assume the obligations to reimburse
Issuing Banks for unreimbursed LC Disbursements under outstanding Letters of Credit under such Facility such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under the U.S. Commitment and the Multicurrency Commitment in
which it shall have participated immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in each component of the Designated Obligations immediately following the CAM Exchange.

 (ii) Each Lender and each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by this
Section 9.20 hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. Each Borrower agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Lenders all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its
Loans under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of any Lender to deliver or accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not
affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange. 
 (iii) As a result of the CAM Exchange, from and
after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to 

  
 152









 
any Loan Document in respect of any of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. 

(iv) In the event that on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change
as a result of the making of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank that is not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, if applicable, then each Lender shall promptly reimburse such Issuing Bank for its CAM
Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in the Dollar Amount thereof. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.20,
the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that if the Administrative Agent or a Lender is required under applicable law to withhold or deduct any taxes or other amounts from payments made by it hereunder or as a result hereof, such Person shall
be entitled to withhold or deduct such amounts and pay over such taxes or other amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority imposing such tax without any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to such
amounts and without any other obligation of gross up or offset with respect thereto and there shall be no recourse whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or any Lender subject to such withholding to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
making such withholding and paying over such amounts, but without diminution of the rights of the Administrative Agent or such Lender subject to such withholding as against Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to the extent (if any) provided in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any amounts so withheld or deducted shall be treated as, for the purpose of this Section 9.20, having been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender with respect to which such withholding or
deduction was made. 
 ARTICLE X 
 LOAN GUARANTY 
 Section 10.01. Guaranty. (a) Each
U.S. Loan Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties, the prompt payment when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated
costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against,
any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “U.S. Guaranteed Obligations”). 

(b) Each Canadian Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly
and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or


  
 153









 
otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Canadian Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees
(including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Canadian Secured Obligations from, or in
prosecuting any action against, the Canadian Borrower, any Canadian Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Canadian Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Canadian Secured Obligations, collectively the
“Canadian Guaranteed Obligations” and, together with the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). 
 (c) Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its
guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. 
 (d) All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may
be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Section 10.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender to sue any Borrower, any other Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment
against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Section 10.03. No Discharge or
Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any
reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan
Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions; or (v) any law or regulation of any
jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a guaranteed obligation. 
 (b) The obligations of each
Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of
applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. 

  
 154









 (c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any
Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other
circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations). 
 Section 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the
cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably
waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any
other Person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state or provincial law, as applicable, and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose
on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any
way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash, provided, that the proceeds of Collateral of a Canadian Loan Party shall not be
applied to Guaranteed Obligations of any U.S. Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law,
to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security. 
 Section 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification,
that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders. 

  
 155









 Section 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment
of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with
respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for
payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations
shall nonetheless be payable by the applicable Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent. 

Section 10.07. Information. Each applicable Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed
of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and
incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Issuing Bank or Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. 

Section 10.08. Termination. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks may continue to make loans or extend credit to the
Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for the
applicable Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of
such Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Section 10.09. Taxes. Each payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by
each Loan Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Loan Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Loan Guarantor
may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Guarantor shall be increased
as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 10.09), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives the amount it
would have received had no such withholding been made. 
 Section 10.10. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this
Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any provincial, state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the
obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty,
then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Administrative Agent,


  
 156









 
any Issuing Bank or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined
hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”. This Section 10.10 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 10.10 with respect to such Maximum
Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the applicable Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from
time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this
sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. 

Section 10.11. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment
or payments under this Loan Guaranty with respect to the applicable Guaranteed Obligations or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to
the applicable Guaranteed Obligations, each other Loan Guarantor obligated with respect thereto (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s
“Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any
such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to
any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the applicable
Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations (including such Paying Guarantor) as of
such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by
such Loan Guarantors from the applicable Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the applicable
Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and
junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of such Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of all of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or
more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 Section 10.12. Liability Cumulative. The liability of
each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this


  
 157









 
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless
the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 
 ARTICLE XI

 Section 11.01. Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The U.S. Borrower is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the
“Borrower Representative” hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and
duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XI. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby
appoint the Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate Borrower; provided that,
in the case of a Revolving Loan, such amount shall not exceed the Availability of such Borrower. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall not be liable to the
Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.01. 
 Section 11.02. Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of
each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically
provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative. 
 Section 11.03. Employment of Agents.
The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers.
