applicable, funded by the Canadian Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Canadian Swingline Lender solely for its own account. In addition, the Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes the Canadian Swingline Lender to, and the
Canadian Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice required), not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on each Business Day, make available to the Canadian Borrower by
means of a credit to the Funding Account(s) of Canadian Borrower, the proceeds of a Canadian Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account of Canadian Borrower that day (as determined based on
notice from the Canadian Administrative Agent). The aggregate amount of Canadian Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the total Canadian Commitments. The Canadian Swingline Lender shall not make any
Canadian Swingline Loan if the requested Canadian Swingline Loan exceeds Canadian Availability. All Canadian Swingline Loans shall be CBFR Borrowings or 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. Borrowers, on behalf of the U.S. Lenders, in amounts that exceed 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 U.S. 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 
  

 40 







 
paragraph, 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. All U.S. Overadvances shall constitute CBFR Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make U.S. Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed an amount equal to 10% of the total U.S. Commitments at any
time, no U.S. Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days, no U.S. Overadvance shall cause any U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolving Exposure to exceed its U.S. Commitment, and no U.S. Overadvance shall cause the aggregate Revolving
Exposures of all the Lenders to exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that, 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 Canadian Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrower,
on behalf of the Canadian Lenders, in amounts that exceed Canadian Availability (any such excess Canadian Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “Canadian Overadvances”); provided that, no Canadian Overadvance
shall result in a Default due to Canadian Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Canadian Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of
such Canadian Overadvance. In addition, Canadian Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied. All Canadian Overadvances shall constitute CBFR Borrowings or Canadian Prime Rate
Borrowings. The authority of the Canadian Administrative Agent to make Canadian Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 at any time, no Canadian Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days, no
Canadian Overadvance shall cause any Canadian Lender’s Canadian Revolving Exposure to exceed its Canadian Commitment, and no Canadian Overadvance shall cause the aggregate Revolving Exposures of all the Lenders to exceed the aggregate Revolving
Commitments; provided that, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Canadian Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Canadian Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon
the Canadian Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. 
 (e) Upon the making of a U.S. Swingline Loan or a U.S. Overadvance
(whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such U.S. Swingline Loan or U.S. Overadvance), each U.S. Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party
hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the U.S. Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such U.S. Swingline Loan or U.S.
Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Commitment. The U.S. Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the U.S. Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which
any U.S. Lender is required to fund its participation in any U.S. Swingline Loan or U.S. Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such U.S. Lender, such U.S. 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. 
  

 41 







 (f) Upon the making of a Canadian Swingline Loan or an Canadian Overadvance (whether before
or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Canadian Swingline Loan or Canadian Overadvance), each Canadian Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto,
to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Canadian Swingline Lender or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Canadian Swingline Loan or
Canadian Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Canadian Commitment. The Canadian Swingline Lender or the Canadian Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Canadian Lenders to fund their participations. From and
after the date, if any, on which any Canadian Lender is required to fund its participation in any Canadian Swingline Loan or Canadian Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Canadian
Lender, such Canadian Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Canadian Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan. 

(g) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, on behalf of the U.S. Swingline Lender or the Canadian
Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the U.S. Lenders or Canadian Lenders, as applicable, on at least a weekly basis or on any more frequent date that the Administrative Agent or Canadian
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, elects, by notifying the applicable Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 10:00 a.m. California time on the date of such requested Settlement (the
“Settlement Date”). With respect to Settlements involving U.S. Loans, each U.S. Lender (other than the U.S. Swingline Lender, in the case of the U.S. Swingline Loans) shall transfer in dollars the amount of such U.S. 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 an account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not
later than noon, California time, on such Settlement Date. With respect to Settlements involving Canadian Loans, each Canadian Lender (other than the Canadian Swingline Lender, in the case of the Canadian Swingline Loans) shall transfer, in the
currency in which the applicable Loan was denominated, the amount of such Canadian Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Canadian
Administrative Agent, to an account of the Canadian Administrative Agent as the Canadian Administrative Agent may designate, not later than noon, California 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: (i) the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the U.S. Swingline Lender’s U.S.
Swingline Loans and, together with U.S. Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such U.S. Swingline Loan, shall constitute U.S. Revolving Loans of such U.S. Lenders, respectively; and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be
applied against the amounts of the Canadian Swingline Lender’s Canadian Swingline Loans and, together with Canadian Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Canadian Swingline Loan, shall constitute Canadian Revolving Loans of such
Canadian Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be entitled
to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07. 
  

 42 







 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 in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit and denominated in either dollars or Canadian Dollars in the case of Canadian
Letters of Credit) for its own account or for the account of another Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit, and the Canadian Administrative Agent 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 the Borrowers to, or entered into by the 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 hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing
Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit and the Canadian Administrative Agent in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (in each case, prior to
9:00 am, California 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 paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such
Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued for the account of the Canadian Borrower or a U.S. Borrower, the currency in which such Letter of Credit will be denominated (which may be in: (x) dollars in the case of U.S.
Letters of Credit and (y) dollars or Canadian Dollars in the case of 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 the applicable 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 $10,000,000, (ii) the total U.S. Revolving Exposure of all U.S. Lenders would not exceed (A) the lesser of (x) the total U.S. Commitments or (y) the U.S.
Borrowing Base, minus (B) the Canadian U.S. Borrowing Base Utilization; (iii) the total Canadian Revolving Exposure of all Canadian Lenders would not exceed the lesser of (A) the total Canadian Commitments or (B) the sum of
(x) the Canadian Borrowing Base, plus (B) the U.S. Availability; and (iv) the total Revolving Exposures of all Lenders would not exceed the lesser of (A) the total Revolving Commitments or (B) the Aggregate Borrowing Base.

 (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. 
  

 43 







 (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 Issuing Bank hereby grants to each U.S. Lender, with respect to a U.S. Letter of Credit, and each
Canadian Lender, with respect to a Canadian Letter of Credit, and each U.S. Lender and Canadian Lender, as applicable, hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in each such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under 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. Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay in dollars to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) with respect to any Canadian Letters of Credit, each Canadian Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay, in the same currency in which such
Canadian Letter of Credit is issued, the Canadian 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 paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, U.S. Commitments or Canadian 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 applicable
Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to (i) the Administrative Agent (in the case of any U.S. Letter of Credit) in dollars, and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent (in the case of any Canadian Letter of Credit) in the
same currency as the applicable LC Disbursement, an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., California 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., California time, on such date, or, 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., California time, on (x) the Business Day
that the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., California time, on the day of receipt, or (y) 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 a CBFR Revolving Borrowing or U.S. Swingline Loan (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit), or a Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Swingline Loan (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit), in an equivalent amount
and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting CBFR Revolving Borrowing, Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make
such payment when due, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall notify each U.S. Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement with respect to U.S. Letters of Credit and each Canadian Lender of the applicable LC
Disbursement with respect of Canadian Letters of Credit, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. 

 

 44 







 
Promptly following receipt of such notice with respect to any U.S. Letters of Credit, each U.S. Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent 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 U.S. Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the U.S. Lenders. Promptly following receipt of such notice with respect to any Canadian Letters of Credit, each Canadian Lender shall pay to
the Canadian Administrative Agent 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 Canadian Lenders), and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Canadian Lenders. Promptly following
receipt by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent and Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall distribute
such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may
appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of CBFR Revolving Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans, or a Swingline Loan as contemplated
above) shall not constitute a Loan (but shall be Secured Obligations) and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. The joint and several obligations of U.S. Borrowers to reimburse LC Disbursements and the obligation of
Canadian Borrower to reimburse LC Disbursements on account of Canadian Letters of Credit, in each case, as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by 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, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing
Bank, 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 any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable
Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent 
  

 45 







 
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 such 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 wilful 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. 
 (g) 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 (in the case of U.S. Letters
of Credit), the Canadian Administrative Agent (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit) 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. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the
Borrowers 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 Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to: (i) CBFR Revolving Loans in the case of LC Disbursements made in dollars; and (ii) Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans in the case of LC Disbursements made
in Canadian Dollars; provided that, if the applicable Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(f) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph
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 paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of
such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) 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 Issuing Bank to be replaced 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 

 

 46 







 
issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all
previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower
Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, (i) the U.S. Borrowers shall deposit in an account with
the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the U.S. Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the U.S. LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon; 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 Canadian Lenders (the “Canadian LC Collateral
Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the Canadian LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and
such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposits
shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in the case of deposits in the LC Collateral Account, and the Canadian Secured Obligations in the case of deposits in the Canadian LC
Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such accounts; and (x) the U.S. Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the
Lender Parties) a security interest in the LC Collateral Account and (y) the Canadian Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Canadian Lender Parties) a security interest in the Canadian LC Collateral Account.
Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed
and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated (but subject to the consent of Required Lenders), be applied, in the case of moneys in the LC Collateral Account, to satisfy other Secured Obligations or, in the case of moneys in the Canadian LC Collateral Account, to satisfy other
Canadian Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrowers within three Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 SECTION 2.07. Funding of
Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m., California time, to the account of the Administrative Agent or the

  

 47 







 
Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in
Section 2.05. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding
Account(s); provided that CBFR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to the applicable Issuing Bank, (ii) a U.S. Protective Advance or a U.S. Overadvance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) a Canadian Protective Advance or a Canadian Overadvance shall be retained by the
Canadian 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. Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Commitments. Canadian Loans and
participations in Canadian Swingline Loans and Canadian Letters of Credit will be funded by each Canadian Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Canadian Commitments. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Administrative Agent, as applicable, may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of either the Federal Funds Effective Rate (in the case
of dollar denominated amounts) or the Canadian Administrative Agent’s cost of funds (in the case of Canadian Dollar denominated amounts) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to CBFR 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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 Rate Revolving 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 or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower
Representative may elect 
  

 48 







 
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing, provided that a Borrowing in one currency may only be converted to another Type of Borrowing denominated in the same currency as the Borrowing to be so
converted. This Section 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, the Borrower Representative shall notify the (i) Administrative Agent, with
respect to each U.S. Revolving Loan, and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) with respect to any Canadian Revolving Loan, 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 to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), as applicable, of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with
respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
Borrowing); 
 (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, if in Canadian Dollars, is to be a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a CDOR Rate
Borrowing, or, if in dollars is to be an CBFR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a
Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Rate 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 Rate 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 by (i) the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall advise each U.S. Lender of the details thereof and of such U.S. Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing, and (ii) the Canadian

  

 49 







 
Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall advise each Canadian Lender of the details thereof and of such Canadian 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 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 to a CBFR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof, if a 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 a Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be
converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

(f) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a CDOR Rate 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 to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof, if a 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 a Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be
converted to or continued as a CDOR Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing of the same class at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

SECTION 2.09. Termination of Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. For clarification, all U.S. Commitments and Canadian Commitments, as sub-facilities of the Revolving Commitments, shall terminate upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments. 

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Revolving Commitments upon (i) the payment in full in cash of all outstanding U.S.
Loans, in the case of the U.S. Commitment, and Canadian Loans, in the case of the Canadian Commitment, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any U.S. Letters of Credit, in the case of the U.S. Commitment, and Canadian Letters of
Credit, in the case of the Canadian Commitment, as applicable, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding U.S. Letters of Credit, in the case of the U.S. Commitment, and Canadian Letters of Credit, in the case of the Canadian
Commitment (or alternatively, (A) with respect to each such U.S. Letter of Credit, the deposit in the LC Collateral Account of cash equal to 105% of the U.S. LC Exposure or with respect to each such Canadian Letter of Credit, the deposit in the
Canadian LC Collateral Account of cash equal to 105% Canadian LC Exposure, as applicable, as of such date in accordance with Section 2.06(j), or (B) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as
applicable, and each applicable Issuing Bank, a back-up standby letter of credit equal to 105% of the U.S. LC Exposure or Canadian LC Exposure, as applicable, as of such date), (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 U.S. Obligations or Canadian Obligations, as applicable, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. For clarification, all U.S. Commitments and

  

 50 







 
Canadian Commitments, as sub-facilities of the Revolving Commitments, shall terminate upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments. 

(c) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent of any election to terminate
the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall advise the U.S. Lenders or the Canadian Lenders, as applicable, 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 of the Commitments shall be permanent. 

(d) The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitment by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments, either from
one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, may make a maximum of 3
such requests, (iii) the Administrative Agent has approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (iv) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a
“Lender” hereunder, (v) the aggregate amount of all such increases shall not exceed $15,000,000, and (vi) the procedure described in Section 2.09(e) have been satisfied. Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the
Borrower Representative, allocate the additional Revolving Commitments between U.S. Commitments and Canadian Commitments. 
 (e)
Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lender(s) being
added or increasing their Revolving Commitment, subject only to the approval of all Lenders if any such increase would cause the Revolving Commitment to exceed $40,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase, Borrower Representative shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (i) 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 in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), 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 exists. 

(f) 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 
  


 51 







 
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 CBFR 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. Eurodollar Loans and CDOR Rate Loans shall not be reallocated among the Lenders prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of any such increase. 

SECTION 2.10. Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) (i) The U.S. Borrowers
hereby unconditionally promise to pay (A) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each U.S. Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, (B) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid
amount of each U.S. Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent and (C) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each U.S. Overadvance on the earliest of the Maturity
Date, the 30th day after such U.S. Overadvance is made,
and demand by the Administrative Agent; and (ii) the Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally promise to pay (A) to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian
Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, (B) to the Canadian Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Canadian Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Canadian Administrative Agent and (C) to the
Canadian Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Overadvance on the earliest of the Maturity Date, the
30th day after such Canadian Overadvance is made, and
demand by the Canadian Administrative Agent. 
 (b) On each Business Day during any Dominion Trigger Period, (i) the
Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to each U.S. Collection 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 U.S. Protective Advances and U.S. Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, second to prepay the U.S. Revolving Loans (including U.S. Swingline Loans) and to cash collateralize outstanding U.S. LC Exposure; and (ii) the
Canadian Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to each Canadian Collection Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Canadian Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately
available) first to prepay any Canadian Protective Advances and Canadian Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the Canadian Revolving Loans (including Canadian Swingline Loans) and to cash collateralize
outstanding Canadian LC Exposure. 
 (c) 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. 

(d) (i) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (A) the amount of each U.S. Loan made hereunder,
the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the U.S. Borrowers to each U.S. Lender hereunder and (C) the

  

 52 







 
amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the U.S. Lenders and each U.S. Lender’s share thereof; and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent
shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (A) the amount of each Canadian Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Canadian Borrower to each Canadian Lender hereunder and (C) the amount of any sum received by the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Canadian Lenders and each Canadian Lender’s
share thereof. 
 (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein subject to manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian 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. 

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable 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, without premium or penalty other than any break funding payments required in accordance with Section 2.16, to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part,
subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section. 
 (b) Except for Overadvances permitted under
Section 2.05, in the event and on such occasion that (i) the total Revolving Exposure of all the Lenders exceeds the lesser of (x) the total Revolving Commitments or (y) the Aggregate Borrowing Base, (ii) the total U.S.
Revolving Exposure of all the U.S. Lenders exceeds (A) the lesser of (x) the total U.S. Commitments or (y) the U.S. Borrowing Base minus (B) the Canadian U.S. Borrowing Base Utilization or (iii) the total
Canadian Revolving Exposure of all the Canadian Lenders exceeds the lesser of (A) the total Canadian Commitments or (B) the sum of (x) the Canadian Borrowing Base plus (y) the U.S. Availability, 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 equal to such excess. 

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment
Event during any Dominion Trigger Period, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by any Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net
Proceeds (without any reduction in the Revolving Commitments). 
  

 53 







 (d) All such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(c) 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 Swing Line Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and to cash collateralize
outstanding LC Exposure (in an amount up to 105% of the outstanding LC Exposure). If the precise amount of insurance or condemnation proceeds allocable to Inventory as compared to Equipment and real property is not otherwise determined, the
allocation and application of those proceeds shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such application of proceeds from the Collateral securing solely the Canadian Obligations
shall be made solely in respect of the Canadian Obligations. 
 (e) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative
Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., California time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a CBFR Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate
Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., California 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 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 Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment
fee, which shall accrue at 0.50% per annum on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender 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. Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Lender a participation fee with
respect to its participations in U.S. Letters of Credit and (ii) Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian 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 on the average daily amount of such Lender’s

  

 54 







 
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 with respect to each Letter of
Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% 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 paragraph shall be payable within 10
days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. 

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately
agreed upon in writing between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on
the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, (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 CBFR Borrowing shall bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate for such Type of Loan. 

(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 for such Type of Loan. 
 (c) The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing
shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for such Type of Loan. 
 (d) The Loans comprising each
CDOR Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the CDOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate for such Type of Loan. 

(e) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate, if denominated in Canadian Dollars, or
at the CB Floating Rate, if 
  

 55 







 
denominated in dollars, plus the Applicable Rate for corresponding Revolving Loans plus 2% per annum. 

(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 paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other
amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% above the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation, if any, as provided hereunder. 

(g) Accrued interest on each Loan 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 paragraph (f) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a CBFR
Revolving Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Revolving 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 Rate 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. 

(h) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the CB
Floating 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 CB Floating Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, CDOR Rate, Adjusted LIBO
Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(i) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of
interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so
determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively. 

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 
  

 56 







 (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, (A) 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 (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a
CBFR Borrowing. 
 (b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a CDOR Rate Borrowing: 

(i) the Canadian 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 
 (ii)
the Canadian 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 of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Canadian 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 Canadian Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a CDOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be
made as a Canadian Prime Rate 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; or 

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or
Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make 

 

 57 







 
any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the 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
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank
determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by a 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 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 paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 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 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 for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than 180 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 180-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 Rate 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 Rate 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 Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such
notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a
request by the 
  

 58 







 
Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the U.S. Borrowers shall compensate each U.S. Lender and the Canadian Borrower shall compensate each Canadian
Lender, as applicable, for the actual loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender that is attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate 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 occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the 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 such 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 Rate Loan from other banks in the Canadian bankers’ acceptance
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 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) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be
required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent, Canadian Administrative Agent, Lenders or Issuing Banks (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such
deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law,
whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by such Governmental Authority. 
 (c) The Borrowers shall jointly and
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative
Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender or a Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian

  

 59 







 
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or a Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent,
within 10 days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.17(f). Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.17(d). 
 (e) As soon as practicable after
any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as
applicable. 
 (f) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate. If a Lender claims an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, such Lender represents that such Lender is not (x) a “bank” as described in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a 10% shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (z) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of
Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, and such Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent a properly completed Form W-8BEN, before receiving its first interest payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption. 

(g) If the Administrative Agent, Canadian Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received
a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by 
  

 60 







 
the Borrowers under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian
Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent
or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the
Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Canadian Loan Party or its assets secure, guarantee
or support the U.S. Obligations. 
 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
noon, California time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent,
as applicable, 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 (i) payments of principal, interest, fees or reimbursements of LC Disbursements relating to any Canadian Loan or Canadian Letter of Credit shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Agent at its offices at 200 Bay
Street, Royal Bank Plaza, Floor 18, Toronto M57 2J2 Canada, (ii) payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein shall be made to such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, and (iii) payments
pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any
other Person to the appropriate recipient, in like funds, 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. All payments hereunder shall be made in the currency in which the applicable Obligations are denominated, and, if not otherwise
specified, in dollars. 
 (b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative
Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent so elects, or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably (based in respect of each of the following
separate categories, computed independently of the other categories, on each Lender Party’s interest in the aggregate specific type of outstanding Secured Obligations described within (and only within) each specific

  

 61 







 
category of Secured Obligations listed respectively below) first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent, the
Canadian Administrative Agent, and each Issuing Banks 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), sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements,
seventh, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the U.S. LC Exposure, and to pay an amount to the Canadian Administrative Agent equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the
Canadian LC Exposure, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations, and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to
the Administrative Agent, the Canadian 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, the Canadian Administrative Agent, nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest
Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or such CDOR Rate Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, with respect to CDOR Rate Loans, that there are no outstanding Canadian Prime Rate Loans of the same Class, and with respect to
Eurodollar Loans, that there are no outstanding CBFR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent, the Canadian
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 Obligations shall be made solely in respect of Canadian Obligations. 

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, 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 or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with
the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, to charge any deposit account of any 
  


 62 







 
Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other
amount due under the Loan Documents. 
 (d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans 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 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 the 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 paragraph 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 paragraph 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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative
Agent, as applicable, 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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such 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 or the Canadian
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 (f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent and, if
applicable, the Canadian Administrative Agent, may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts 

 

 63 







 
thereafter received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 apply any such amounts 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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in its discretion. 

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless requested otherwise by Canadian Borrower (i) no Borrowings shall be made to Canadian
Borrower for the purpose of paying any U.S. Obligations; and (ii) deposit accounts of Canadian Borrower may only be charged to pay Canadian Obligations. 

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the
Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 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 the Issuing Banks, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the 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. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
  

 64 







 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) the Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the
consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; 

(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 shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in
accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) 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 and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; 

(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 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(j) 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
Section 2.20(c), 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; 
 (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant
to Section 2.20(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or 

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to
Section 2.20(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of
such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC 

 

 65 







 
Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; 

(d) no Issuing Bank shall 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 issued or increased
Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and 

(e) in the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing
Banks and the Swingline Lenders 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 other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect
the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date 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, the Canadian 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, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Lender.
The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian 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. Excess Resulting From Exchange Rate Change. With respect to the Canadian Commitment, at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar against the dollar, (i) the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Canadian Loans of the Canadian Borrower exceeds the lesser of: (A) the Canadian Borrowing Base plus U.S. Availability, or (B) the Canadian Sublimit, or any other limitations hereunder based on dollars or (ii) the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of Canadian Loans exceeds any other limit based on dollars set forth herein for such Canadian Obligations, the Canadian Borrower shall (A) if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or
equal to $200,000, within two Business Days of notice from the Canadian Administrative Agent, (B) if such excess is an aggregate amount that is less than $200,000 and such excess continues to exist in an aggregate amount less than $200,000 for
at least five Business Days, within two Business Days of notice from the Canadian Administrative Agent or (C) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, immediately (x) make the necessary payments or repayments to

  

 66 







 
reduce such Canadian Obligations to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (y) maintain or cause to be maintained with the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Canadian
Lender 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
Canadian Administrative Agent. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall, weekly or more frequently in the sole discretion of the Canadian 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. 
 ARTICLE
III 
 Representations and Warranties 

Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that: 

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Loan Parties and each of its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction
where the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The
Transactions are within each Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational actions and, if required, actions by equity holders. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party have been
duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, 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. 

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents,
(b) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or any
of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition;
No Material Adverse Effect. (a) Holdings has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009,

 67 







 
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, subject to year-end audit
adjustments 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, 2009. 

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) As of the date of this Agreement, Schedule 3.05 sets forth the address of each parcel of
real property that is owned or leased by each Loan Party. Each of such leases and subleases is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms and is in full force and effect in all material respects, and no material default by any Loan Party to
any such lease or sublease exists. Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries has good and indefeasible title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property, free of all Liens other than those permitted by
Section 6.02. 
 (b) Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames,
copyrights, patents and other intellectual property necessary to its business as currently conducted, a correct and complete list of such property which is registered as of the date of this Agreement is set forth on Schedule 3.05, and the use
thereof by the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries does not, to such Person’s knowledge, infringe in any material respect upon the rights of any other Person, and the Loan Parties’ rights thereto are not subject to any licensing agreement or
similar arrangement. 
 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 the Loan Parties or any of their 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. 
 (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters (i) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for any material Environmental Liability and (ii) 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 
  

 68 







 
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 nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a “holding company” as defined
in, or subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. 
 SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Except
as set forth on Schedule 3.09, each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, provincial and material local and other Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused
to be paid all federal, state, provincial and material local and other Taxes required to have been paid by it, except 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. No tax liens have been filed other than tax liens which in an aggregate amount do not exceed $10,000. No claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes except claims with respect to
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. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has withheld all employee
withholdings and has made all employer contributions 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. ERISA; Canadian Pension Plans. (a) 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 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 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan.

 (b) Each Canadian Loan Party and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the requirements of the Pension Benefits Act
(Ontario) and other federal or provincial laws with respect to each Canadian Pension Plan, except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No fact or situation that may reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect exists in connection with any Canadian Pension Plan. Neither any Canadian Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material withdrawal liability in connection with a Canadian Pension Plan. No Pension
Event has occurred. No Lien has arisen, choate or inchoate, in respect of any Canadian Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or their property in connection with any Canadian Pension Plan (save for contribution amounts not yet due). 

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 Subsidiary 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. No report, financial

  

 69 







 
statement, certificate or other information furnished by or on behalf of the 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, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers and Holdings represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable
at the time delivered and, if such projected financial information was delivered prior to the Effective Date (as updated prior to the Effective Date), as of the Effective Date.

 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent and Canadian Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lender Parties hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent as its
agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

Without limiting the generality of the paragraph above, for the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with
Article 1541 of the Civil Code, between each Lender Party, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, each Loan Party, each such Lender Party and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree with the
Administrative Agent that each such Lender Party and the Administrative Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each Loan Party in respect of all Obligations, present and future, owed by each such Loan Party to the
Administrative Agent and each such Lender Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”). Each Loan Party which is not a signatory of this Agreement but is or may become a signatory to any
other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have accepted the provisions contained in this paragraph by its execution of such other Loan Documents. Accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code, each such Loan
Party is irrevocably bound towards the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party 
  

 98 







 
in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Administrative Agent and such Lender Party. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and each
Lender Party shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Administrative Agent and such Lender Party and the right to give full acquittance for same. The parties further agree and acknowledge
that the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral under the Collateral Documents shall be granted to the Administrative Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Lender Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.

 The bank serving as the Administrative Agent or the Canadian 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 or the Canadian 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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder. 

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default
has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent and the Canadian 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 Administrative Agent or the Canadian 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, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall 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 the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in
any capacity. The Administrative Agent and the Canadian 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 wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be deemed not
to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender Party, and the Administrative Agent and the Canadian
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 adequacy, accuracy or
completeness of any information (whether oral or written) set forth or in connection with any Loan Document, (v) the legality, the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, adequacy or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other

  

 99 







 
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 and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 

The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any representation, notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing or communication believed by it to be genuine, correct and to have been authorized, signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made or authorized by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.
The Administrative Agent and the Canadian 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 and the Canadian
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 or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be. The Administrative
Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent thereof 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, the Canadian 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 the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent. 
 Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian 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 (which shall, in the case of the Canadian
Administrative Agent only, be an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent acting through a branch or an office in Canada). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lender
Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank (which shall, in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent only, be an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent acting
through an office in Canada). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges, obligations and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative 

 

 100 







 
Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent and Canadian
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 or Canadian 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 or Canadian Administrative Agent as the case may be, 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 or Canadian Administrative Agent as the case may be. 

Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Canadian 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 Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or
the Canadian Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent and the Canadian 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 and the Canadian Administrative Agent undertake 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, the Canadian 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 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 Bookrunner and the Sole Lead Arranger shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement.

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 any Lender Party in exercising any
right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lenders Parties, 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 paragraph (b) of this Section, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as
a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
  

 103 







 (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, the Canadian Administrative Agent (to the extent it is a party to such Loan Document) and each Loan Party that is a party thereto, with the consent of the Required
Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan, 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 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, postpone the scheduled date of expiration of the Revolving Commitment, without the
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.18(b) in any manner adverse to any Lender without such Lender’s consent or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby , (E) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Canadian Borrowing Base or U.S. Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of
each Lender, (F) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required 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, (G) 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, or (H) except as provided in clauses (d) and (e) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the
Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian 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, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks). The Administrative Agent may also amend the Revolving Commitment Schedule to reflect
assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. 
 (c) The Lender Parties 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 or the Canadian Loan Parties, as the case may be, on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of all
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 Party,
(ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale 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

  

 104 







 
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; provided that, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued
in the aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. 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, the Canadian Administrative Agent and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Canadian 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 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 applicable 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 Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with

  

 105 







 
the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, 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 thereof. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section 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 Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Canadian 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 (other than taxes based on income), liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of 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 their Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of the Borrowers to deliver to the 

 

 106 







 
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 wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount
required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
the Canadian 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, the Canadian 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 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 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 a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby
(including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, the Canadian 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 paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under 
  

 107 







 
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) 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 an 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 or an Affiliate of a Lender 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 of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 

(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; 
 (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 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; and

 (E) any assignments of all or a portion of a Lender’s Canadian Commitment or other rights and obligations
under this Agreement relating to the Canadian Borrower shall be made to a Canadian Qualified Lender. 
 For the purposes of this
Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: 
  

 108 







 “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 paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 2.15, 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 paragraph (c) of this Section. 

(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 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 Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the 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 paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning 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 paragraph. 
  

 109 







 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its 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 Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Lender that is not a U.S. Person if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 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 any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, 

 

 110 







 
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 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 or the Canadian 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 the Canadian 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 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. The rights
of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 

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 
  

 111 







 
provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks; provided,
however, that if the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California shall govern in regard to the validity, perfection or effect of perfection of any Lien or in regard to procedural matters affecting enforcement of any Liens on
all or any party of the Collateral, such laws of such other jurisdictions shall continue to apply to that extent. 
 (b) Each
Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or California State court sitting in Los Angeles, California 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 California State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court; provided that claims with respect to Canadian Loan Documents 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 Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any
court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in
Section 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 other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; JUDICIAL REFERENCE. (a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE 
  

 112 







 
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

(b) IF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS FILED IN A COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO AND EACH PARTY HERETO OR THERETO (OTHER THAN THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) DOES NOT SUBSEQUENTLY WAIVE IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY, THE COURT SHALL, AND IS HEREBY DIRECTED TO, MAKE A GENERAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638 TO A REFEREE OR REFEREES TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ALL OF THE ISSUES IN SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING (WHETHER OF FACT OR
OF LAW) AND TO REPORT A STATEMENT OF DECISION, PROVIDED THAT ANY SUCH ISSUES PERTAINING TO A “PROVISIONAL REMEDY” AS DEFINED IN CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 1281.8 SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY THE COURT. 

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only,
are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Lender Parties 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 federal Governmental Authority which regulates such Lender Party,
(c) to the extent required by Requirement of Laws 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, 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 or (ii) becomes available
to any Lender Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers unless such Lender Party knows that such information was obtained in violation of any confidentiality agreement or arrangement. For the purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to any Lender Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by
the Borrowers. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDINGS AND ITS 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 AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR
IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER
REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS 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 AND STATE 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 USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the 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 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 Party hereby appoints each other Lender Party as its agent for the purpose
of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Lender Parties or the Canadian Lender Parties, as the case may be, in assets which, in 

 

 114 







 
accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, the PPSA, the Securities Transfer Act (Ontario) or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender Party (other than the
Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender Party 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 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 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 Conversion. (a) The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents to make payments in dollars or in Canadian Dollars, as the case may be (the “Obligation Currency”), shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any
currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the applicable Loan Party of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the applicable Loan
Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the
Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Administrative Agent’s quoted rate of exchange
prevailing, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”). 

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment
of the amount due, the Loan Parties each covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when
converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. Any amount due from a Loan Party under this Section 9.18 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in
respect of any of the Loan Documents. 
  

 115 







 (c) For purposes of determining the prevailing rate of exchange, such amounts shall include
any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency. 
 SECTION 9.19. Canadian
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
(collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lender Parties 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 Party or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. 

(b) If the Canadian 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 Canadian Administrative Agent: 
 (i) shall be deemed to
have done so as an agent for each Lender Party, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender Party and the Canadian Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation;
and 
 (ii) shall provide to each Lender Party 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 of the Lender Parties agrees that neither the Canadian Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrowers or any authorized signatories of the Borrowers on
behalf of any Lender Party, 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 Section 9.20(b). 

(ii) “CAM Exchange” means the exchange of the U.S. Lenders’ interests and the Canadian 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 paragraphs (h) or (i) of Article VII with 

 

 116 







 
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 Lender, a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the
aggregate amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitments immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and the termination of the Revolving Commitments, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the amount of the Revolving Commitments of all
the Lenders immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and the termination of the Revolving Commitments. 
 (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. 
 (vi) “Revolver Facility” means the facility established under the U.S.
Commitments and the Canadian Commitments. 
 (b) CAM Exchange. 

(i) On the CAM Exchange Date, 

(A) the U.S. Commitments and the Canadian Commitments shall have terminated in accordance with Article VII; 

(B) each U.S. Lender shall fund 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 Canadian Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Swingline Loans and Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.04 and Section 2.05; 

(C) each U.S. Lender shall fund its participation in any unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under the U.S. Letters of
Credit in accordance with Section 2.06(e), and each Canadian Lender shall fund its participation in any unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under the Canadian Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.06(e); and 

(D) the Lenders shall purchase in dollars at par interests in the Designated Obligations under each Revolver 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 Revolver Facility such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under the U.S. Commitments and the Canadian Commitments 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. 

 

 117 







 (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 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 U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrower, if applicable, then each Lender shall promptly
reimburse such Issuing Bank for its CAM Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in the Equivalent Amount in dollars. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.20, each Lender Party agrees that if any Lender Party 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 any Lender Party 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 any
Lender Party subject to such withholding to any other Lender Party making such withholding and paying over such amounts, but without diminution of the rights of such Lender Party 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 such Lender Party to which such
withholding or deduction was made. 
 ARTICLE X 

Loan Guaranty 

SECTION 10.01. Guaranty. Each U.S. Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees to the Lender 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 
  

 118 







 
allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each U.S. 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. 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 Party 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 U.S. Loan Guarantor waives any right to require any Lender Party 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 U.S. 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; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any U.S. Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, any Lender Party, or any other
person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. 
 (b) The obligations of each U.S. 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. 

(c) Further, the obligations of any U.S. Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the
failure of any Lender Party 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 any Lender Party with 
  


 119 







 
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 U.S. Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any U.S. 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 U.S. Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other 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 U.S. 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 U.S. Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law 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 U.S. Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each U.S. 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 U.S. 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 Lender Parties and no Obligations are outstanding. 
 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 U.S. 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 Lender Parties 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 U.S. Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender Parties. 
  

 120 







 SECTION 10.07. Information. Each U.S. 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 Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each U.S.
Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that no Lender Party shall have any duty to advise any U.S. Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. 

SECTION 10.08. Taxes. All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each U.S. Loan Guarantor free and clear of and
without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any U.S. Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender Party (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) such U.S. Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such U.S. Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

SECTION 10.09. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving
any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any U.S. Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held
or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such U.S. 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 U.S. Loan Guarantors or the Lender Parties, 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 U.S. Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each U.S. Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lender
Parties to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no U.S. Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent
necessary so that the obligations of any U.S. Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each U.S. Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum
Liability of each U.S. Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lender Parties hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any U.S. Loan
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. 
 SECTION 10.10. Contribution. In the event any
U.S. Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty 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, each other U.S. Loan Guarantor (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 
  

 121 







 
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 Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital
infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all U.S. Loan Guarantors hereunder (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 U.S. Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital
infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any U.S. Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such U.S. Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the U.S. 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 the Guaranteed Obligations. This
provision is for the benefit of both the Lender Parties and the U.S. Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof. 

SECTION 10.11. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a U.S. Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition
to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Lender Parties under this 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 

The Borrower Representative 

SECTION 11.01. Appointment; Nature of Relationship. DDi Global Corp., a California corporation 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, subject to the limits as between Canadian Borrower and U.S. Borrowers contained in this Agreement. None of the Lender Parties and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall 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. 
  


 122 







 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 Lender Parties 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. 
 SECTION 11.04. Notices. Each Borrower
shall immediately notify the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default.” In the event that the Borrower Representative receives such a notice, the Borrower Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative
hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative. 
 SECTION 11.05.
Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative.
The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Lender Parties. 
 SECTION 11.06.
Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowers hereby empower and authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute and deliver to the Lender Parties the Loan Documents and all related
agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Borrowing Base Certificates and the Compliance Certificates. Each Borrower
agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein,
together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers. 
 SECTION
11.07. Reporting. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower shall furnish promptly after each fiscal month to the Borrower Representative a copy of any certificate or report required hereunder or requested by the Borrower Representative
on which the Borrower Representative shall rely to prepare the Borrowing Base Certificates and Compliance Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
