all Canadian Overadvances, U.K. Overadvances, U.S. Overadvances, Canadian Protective Advances and U.K. Protective Advances, ten percent (10%) of the Total Available U.S. Borrowing Base, to the U.S. Borrowers, jointly and severally, on behalf of the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders (any of the advances described in this Section 2.01(g)(i)(B)(x) being herein referred to as “U.S. Protective Advances”), (y) Canadian Revolving Credit Loans not to exceed, when taken together with all Canadian Overadvances, U.S. Overadvances, U.K. Overadvances, U.S. Protective Advances and U.K. Protective Advances, ten percent (10%) of the Total Available Canadian Borrowing Base, to the Parent Borrower, on behalf of the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders (any of the advances described in this Section 2.01(g)(i)(B)(y) being herein referred to as “Canadian Protective Advances”) or (z) U.K. Revolving Credit Loans not to exceed, when taken together with all U.K. Overadvances, U.S. Overadvances, Canadian Overadvances, U.S. Protective Advances and Canadian Protective Advances, ten percent (10%) of the Total Available U.K. Borrowing Base, to the U.K. Borrower, on behalf of the U.K. Revolving Lenders (any of the advances described in this Section 2.01(g)(i)(B)(z) being referred to as “U.K. Protective Advances” and, together with U.S. Protective Advances and Canadian Protective Advances, “Protective Advances”), in each case, which the Administrative Agent in each case deems reasonably necessary (1) to preserve or protect all or any portion of the Collateral, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and other Finance Obligations or (3) to pay any amount chargeable to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents; provided that the Required Revolving Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization contained in this Section 2.01(g)(i) to make Protective Advances, any such revocation to be in writing and to become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof; and provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall not knowingly make Protective Advances which would cause (1) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time to exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (2) the Total Canadian Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time to exceed the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, (3) the Total U.K. Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time to exceed the U.K. Revolving Credit Facility or (4) the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time to exceed the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility.  Protective Advances shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable.  Immediately upon the making of an Protective Advance, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Administrative Agent a risk participation in such Protective Advance in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Protective Advance.
(ii)    Maturity of Protective Advances.  The principal amount of all Protective Advances shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) one Business Day following demand for payment made by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative, (B) the Maturity Date, (C) the occurrence of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law with respect to any Borrower or (D) the acceleration of any Loan or the termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 8.02. 
(iii)    Refinancing of Protective Advances.
(A)    The Administrative Agent at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers, jointly and severally (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to so request on its behalf), that each 

	
			
	 
	82
	 

Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan, a Canadian Base Rate Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Protective Advances then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall furnish the Borrower Representative with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent for its account in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 P.M. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.01(g)(iii)(B), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers, jointly and severally, in such amount.
(B)    If for any reason any Protective Advance cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.01(g)(iii)(A), the request for Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, submitted by the Administrative Agent as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Administrative Agent that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Protective Advance and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.01(g)(iii)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(C)    If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01(g)(iii) by the time specified in Section 2.01(g)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.  If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Protective Advance, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (C) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(D)    Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Protective Advances pursuant to this Section 2.01(g)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (x) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (y) the occurrence or 

	
			
	 
	83
	 

continuance of a Default or (z) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(iv)    Repayment of Participations.
(A)    At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in an Protective Advance, if the Administrative Agent receives any payment on account of such Protective Advance, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(B)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent in respect of principal or interest on any Protective Advance is required to be returned by the Administrative Agent under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Senior Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(v)    Interest for Account of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower Representative for interest on the Protective Advances.  Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.01(g) to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Protective Advance, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Administrative Agent.
(vi)    Payments Directly to Administrative Agent.  The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Protective Advances directly to the Administrative Agent for its own account.
(h)    U.S. Swingline Borrowings.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.S. Swingline Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “U.S. Swingline Loan”) in Dollars to the U.S. Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the U.S. Swingline Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any U.S. Swingline Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Cap at such time, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Swingline Loans shall not exceed the U.S. Swingline Sublimit, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Swingline Loans plus the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Canadian Swingline Loans and U.K. Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Total Swingline Sublimit, and (iv) the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the Net Total Available U.S. Borrowing Base.  Within the limits of the U.S. Swingline Sublimit, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the U.S. Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(h), prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(h).  U.S. Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Loans, shall (without duplication) constitute U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and shall bear interest at the Base Rate.  Immediately upon the making of a U.S. Swingline Loan, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall 

	
			
	 
	84
	 

be deemed, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the U.S. Swingline Lender a risk participation in such U.S. Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage multiplied by the amount of such U.S. Swingline Loan.
(i)    Canadian Swingline Borrowings.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Canadian Swingline Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Canadian Swingline Loan”) in Dollars, Canadian Dollars and Pounds Sterling to the Canadian Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Canadian Swingline Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Canadian Swingline Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Total Cap at such time, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Canadian Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Canadian Swingline Sublimit, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Swingline Loans plus the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Canadian Swingline Loans and U.K. Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Total Swingline Sublimit, and (iv) the Total Canadian Revolving Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the Net Total Available Canadian Borrowing Base.  Within the limits of the Canadian Swingline Sublimit, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(i), prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(i).  Canadian Swingline Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be BA Rate Loans, Canadian Swingline Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be Base Rate Loans and Canadian Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars shall be Canadian Base Rate Loans.  Canadian Swingline Loans shall (without duplication) constitute Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and shall bear interest at the BA Rate, Canadian Base Rate or U.K. Base Rate, as applicable.  Immediately upon the making of a Canadian Swingline Loan, each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Canadian Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Canadian Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Canadian Swingline Loan.
(j)    U.K. Swingline Borrowings.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.K. Swingline Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “U.K. Swingline Loan”) in Dollars and Pounds Sterling to the U.K. Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the U.K. Swingline Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any U.K. Swingline Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Total Cap, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.K. Swingline Loans shall not exceed the U.K. Swingline Sublimit, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.K. Swingline Loans plus the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Swingline Loans and Canadian Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Total Swingline Sublimit, and (iv) the Total U.K. Revolving Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the U.K. Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the Net Total Available U.K. Borrowing Base.

U.K. Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars and Pounds Sterling shall be U.K. Base Rate Loans.

Immediately upon the making of a U.K. Swingline Loan, each U.K. Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the U.K. Swingline Lender a risk participation in such U.K. Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such U.K. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage multiplied by the amount of such U.K. Swingline Loan.

Section 2.02.    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.  
(a)    Each Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower Representative’s (on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers) irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (i) two Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans or of any permitted conversion of such Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if a Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one week, or one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. two Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them.  Not later than 2:00 P.M., two Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders and, if such consent shall have not been obtained, the notice given by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed automatically amended (i) to specify an Interest Period of one month in the event such requested Interest Period was one week and six months in the event such requested Interest Period was nine or twelve months in duration and (ii) to be given at the time of such amendment, without the need for any further action by the Borrower Representative.  Each telephonic notice by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000, Cdn. $1,000,000 or £1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000, Cdn. $500,000 or £500,000, as applicable, in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Section 2.01(g)(ii) or Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or Cdn. $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 or Cdn. $100,000, as applicable, in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining unused portion of the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility in the case of a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan, the remaining unused portion of the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility in the case of a Canadian Revolving Credit Loan or the remaining unused portion of the U.K. Revolving Credit Facility in the case of a U.K. Revolving Credit Loan).  Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether a Borrower is requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a Swingline Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) if applicable, the currency of the Borrowing, continuation or conversion.  If the Borrower Representative fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower Representative fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans (in the case of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and U.K. Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars), Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars), BA Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in 

	
			
	 
	86
	 

Canadian Dollars) and U.K. Base Rate Loans (in the case of U.K. Revolving Credit Loans or Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling).  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or U.K. Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans.  If the Borrower Representative requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
(b)    Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under the applicable Facility of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, as applicable, described in Section 2.02(a).  In the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 3:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Wells Fargo Bank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative; provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is given by the Borrower Representative, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding under the applicable Facility, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to such Borrower as provided above.
(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Loan and a BA Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan or BA Rate Loan.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) no Revolving Credit Loans to the U.S. Borrowers may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans without the consent of the Required U.S. Lenders, (ii) no Revolving Credit Loans to the Parent Borrower may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Canadian Lenders and (iii) no Revolving Credit Loans to the U.K. Borrower may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans without the consent of the Required U.K. Lenders.
(d)    Upon the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans.  At any time that Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or U.K. Base Rate Loans are outstanding, upon the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders of Wells Fargo Bank’s or the Canadian Reference Bank’s, as applicable, base rate or prime rate then in effect.
(e)    After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as 

	
			
	 
	87
	 

the same Type, there shall not be more than 10 Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.
(f)    Anything in this Section 2.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars may be borrowed, converted into or maintained as a BA Rate Loan, (ii) [reserved], (iii) no U.S. Revolving Credit Loan may be borrowed, converted into or maintained as a Canadian Base Rate Loan and (iv) the Borrowers may not select (A) Eurocurrency Loans or the BA Rate Loans for the initial Credit Extension or (B) Interest Periods for Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans that have a duration of more than one month prior to the Syndication Date.
(g)    All Borrowing requests which are not made on-line via the Administrative Agent’s electronic platform or portal shall be subject to (and unless the Administrative Agent elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such Borrowing shall not be made until the completion of) the Administrative Agent’s authentication process (with results satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) prior to the funding of any such requested Revolving Credit Loan.  At the Administrative Agent’s option, the Administrative Agent may elect to accept telephonic notice of any such request by the required time.  Any such telephonic request shall be irrevocable and to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, shall be confirmed in writing by hand delivery, facsimile (or other form of electronic transmission, including on-line via the Administrative Agent’s electronic platform or portal, as the Administrative Agent may specify for such purpose) to the Administrative Agent within twenty-four (24) hours of the giving of such telephonic notice and signed (or otherwise authenticated) by the Borrower making such request or Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower.  The failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.
Section 2.03.    Letters of Credit.
(a)    The Letter of Credit Commitment.
(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each U.S. L/C Issuer, in reliance upon the agreements of the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) agrees to (with respect to the U.S. Borrowers and their U.S. Subsidiaries) and may (with respect to Foreign Subsidiaries) from time to time on any business Day during the period from the Restatement Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, issue U.S. Letters of Credit for which a U.S. Borrower is the applicant and a U.S. Borrower or (subject to Section 2.03(1)) any of their U.S. Subsidiaries or Foreign Subsidiaries is an account party, and to amend or extend U.S. Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) agrees to honor drawings under the U.S. Letters of Credit; and (B) the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in U.S. Letters of Credit and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any U.S. Letter of Credit, (v) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Cap at such time, (w) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans of any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender, plus such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all U.S. L/C Obligations and U.S. Swingline Loans shall not exceed such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, (x) the Total U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (I) the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and (II) the Net Total Available U.S. Borrowing Base, (y) the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Amount of the U.S. L/C Obligations shall not exceed the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the U.S. L/C Obligations plus the Outstanding Amount of the Canadian L/C Obligations plus the Outstanding Amount of the U.K.

(iv)    No U.S. L/C Issuer, Canadian L/C Issuer or U.K. L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)    subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months (or, in the case of any commercial Letter of Credit, 120 days) after the date of issuance, unless the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer has approved such expiry date; or
(B)    subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders, Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders or U.K. Revolving Credit 

	
			
	 
	90
	 

Lenders, as applicable (excluding in each case Defaulting Lenders), have approved such expiry date.

(A)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(E)    a default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender hereunder, unless the applicable L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to such L/C Issuer with the Borrower Representative or such Revolving Credit Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender; provided that, if any such L/C Issuer refuses to issue a Letter of Credit, such refusal shall not prohibit any Borrower from requesting any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender to issue such Letter of Credit or any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit.
(vi)    The applicable L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof; provided that, if any such L/C Issuer refuses to amend a Letter of Credit, such refusal shall not prohibit any Borrower from requesting any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form or any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit in its amended form.

	
			
	 
	91
	 

(vii)    The applicable L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit; provided that, if any such L/C Issuer refuses to amend a Letter of Credit, such refusal shall not prohibit any Borrower from requesting any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form or any other L/C Issuer or Revolving Credit Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit in its amended form.
(viii)    Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
(b)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.
(i)    Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower Representative delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer:  (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; (H) whether such Letter of Credit is requested to be a U.S. Letter of Credit, a Canadian Letter of Credit or a U.K. Letter of Credit and (I) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer:  (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require.  Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the 

	
			
	 
	92
	 

Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower Representative and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Appropriate Lender under the applicable Facility, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the applicable L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each U.S. Letter of Credit, each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable U.S. L/C Issuer a risk participation in such U.S. Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage times the amount of such U.S. Letter of Credit.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Canadian Letter of Credit, each Canadian Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Canadian Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage times the amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit.  Immediately upon the issuance of each U.K. Letter of Credit, each U.K. Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable U.K. L/C Issuer a risk participation in such U.K. Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such U.K. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage times the amount of such U.K. Letter of Credit.
(iii)    If the Borrower Representative so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its reasonable discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that (x) any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period or, if shorter, during each renewal period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued and (y) such prior notice shall be deemed to have been given by the L/C Issuer on the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer in accordance with Section 10.06(g).  Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower Representative shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the applicable L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (iii) or (iv) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower Representative that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof.  Not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, such L/C Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent who shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender under the applicable Facility of the Honor Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage thereof.  In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit) or Canadian Base Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars) or BA Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) or U.K. Base Rate Loans (in the case of U.K. Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars) or U.K. Base Rate Loans (in the case of U.K. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit denominated in Pounds Sterling) or Eurocurrency Loans (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency) to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans. Canadian Base Rate Loans and BA Rate Loans.  Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Pounds Sterling, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in Pounds Sterling unless the Borrower Representative shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the applicable Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in Canadian Dollars unless the Borrower Representative shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the applicable Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in such Approved Foreign Currency unless the Borrower Representative shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the applicable Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars.  In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars or an Approved Foreign Currency, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower and Administrative Agent of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the reasonable determination thereof.
(ii)    Each Appropriate Lender under the applicable Facility shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the 

	
			
	 
	94
	 

account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Appropriate Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan, as applicable, to the applicable Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.
(iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (or Canadian Base Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, as the case may be) because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable within one Business Day of the demand therefor (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Appropriate Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Credit Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv)    Until the applicable Appropriate Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any applicable Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer.
(v)    Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, (C) the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 4.02 or (D) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)    If any Appropriate Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing.  If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the 

	
			
	 
	95
	 

relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be.  A certificate of an L/C Issuer submitted to any Appropriate Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Appropriate Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof).
(ii)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by an L/C Issuer in its reasonable discretion), each Appropriate Lender under the applicable Facility shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Adjusted Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Senior Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)    Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)    any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such 

	
			
	 
	96
	 

Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries.
The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer.  
(f)    Role of L/C Issuer.  Each Revolving Credit Lender and each Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Credit Lender for:  (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders under the applicable Facility or the Required U.S. Revolving Lenders, Required U.K. Revolving Lenders or Required Canadian Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at Law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuers may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuers shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder, or assigning the proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)    Cash Collateral.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that has not been repaid or reimbursed in accordance with Section 2.03(c), 

	
			
	 
	97
	 

or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the applicable Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all applicable L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the L/C Obligations (in the case of L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency) or 100% of the other L/C Obligations.  Sections 2.04 and 8.02(iii) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.  For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuers and the Appropriate Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (in Dollars or an Approved Foreign Currency reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer) in an amount equal to 105% of the L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency or 100% of the other L/C Obligations, in each case pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuers (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders).  Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings.  Each applicable Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a Lien in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Wells Fargo Bank, the Canadian Reference Bank or such other commercial bank to which the Administrative Agent may consent in its sole discretion.  If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (or such other commercial bank to which the Administrative Agent has consented as described in the preceding sentence) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all applicable L/C Obligations (or, in the case of any L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency, 105% of such aggregate Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations), the Borrowers will, within one Business Day of demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations (or, in the case of any L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency, 105% of such aggregate Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations), over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer.
(h)    Applicability of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(i)    Letter of Credit Fees.  The U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Appropriate Lender in accordance with its Applicable Adjusted Percentage, and the Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Appropriate Lender in accordance with its Applicable Adjusted Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to:  (i) for each U.S. Letter of Credit, the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such U.S. Letter of Credit, (ii) for each Canadian Letter of Credit, the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Canadian Letter of Credit and (iii) for each U.K. Letter 

	
			
	 
	98
	 

of Credit, the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such U.K. Letter of Credit as applicable.  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(j)    Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges to L/C Issuers.  The Parent Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum of 0.125%, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such fronting fee shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day after the end of each calendar quarter in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter within one Business Day of demand therefor.  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.  In addition, the Parent Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the usual and customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within one Business Day of demand and are nonrefundable.
(k)    Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(l)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that the account party for a Letter of Credit is one or more of the Subsidiaries of a Loan Party, the applicable Borrower shall be the applicant and shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for which the account party is one or more Subsidiaries of a Loan Party inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(m)    Reporting.  Each L/C Issuer other than Wells Fargo Bank will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding week whether such Letters of Credit are U.S. Letters of Credit, U.K. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit, and the currency in which such Letters of Credit are denominated, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or amendment, and the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension whether such Letters of Credit are U.S. Letters of Credit, U.K. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit, and the currency in which such Letters of Credit are denominated (and such L/C Issuer shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or 

	
			
	 
	99
	 

extension occurred and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any L/C Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date and amount of such failure and the currency of such L/C Disbursement.
(n)    Indemnity.  Each Primary Loan Party, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnitee, each L/C Issuer and its branches, Affiliates and correspondents and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing, including an Indemnitee, a “Letter of Credit Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys (which shall be limited to one primary counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction), experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any such Letter of Credit Indemnitee (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by other provisions of this Agreement) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of any Letter of Credit, any Issuer Document, or any document presented for purposes of drawing under any Letter of Credit, or any action or proceeding arising out of any of the foregoing (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), in each case, including that resulting from such Letter of Credit Indemnitee’s own negligence; provided, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Indemnitee claiming indemnification to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Indemnitee claiming indemnity.  This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.
(o)    Responsibility of Borrowers.  The applicable Borrowers are responsible for the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by any L/C Issuer, irrespective of any assistance any L/C issuer may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by any L/C Issuer’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrowers.  Borrowers understand that the final form of any Letter of Credit may be subject to such revisions and changes as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the applicable L/C Issuer, and Borrowers hereby consent to such revisions and changes not materially different from the application executed in connection therewith.  The applicable Borrower is solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrowers’ purposes.  If a Borrower (or Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower) requests any L/C Issuer to issue a Letter of Credit for an affiliated or unaffiliated third party (an “Account Party”), (i) such Account Party shall have no rights against such L/C Issuer, (ii) Borrowers shall be responsible for the application and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) communications (including notices) related to the respective Letter of Credit shall be among the applicable L/C Issuer and Borrowers.  The applicable Borrower will examine the copy of the Letter of Credit and any other documents sent by the applicable L/C Issuer in connection therewith and shall promptly notify such L/C Issuer (not later than two (2) Business Days following such Borrower’s receipt (or Borrower Representative’s receipt on behalf of such Borrower) of documents from such L/C Issuer) of any non-compliance with the instructions from such Borrower (or Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower) and of any discrepancy in any document under any presentment or other irregularity.  With respect to any Auto-Extension Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit and, if a Borrower does not at any time want the then current expiration date of such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit to be extended, such Borrower (or Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower) will no notify the 

	
			
	 
	100
	 

Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer at least thirty (30) calendar days before such L/C Issuer is required to notify the beneficiary of such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such non-extension pursuant to the terms of such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit.
(p)    Further Assurances.  At Borrowers’ costs and expense, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the applicable L/C Issuer such additional certificates, instruments and/or documents and take such additional action as may be reasonably requested by such L/C Issuer to enable such L/C Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and the Issuer Documents, to protect, exercise and/or enforce such L/C Issuer’s rights and interests under this Agreement and the Issuer Documents and to give effect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Issuer Documents.  Each Borrower irrevocably appoints each L/C Issuer as its attorney-in-fact and authorizes such L/C Issuer, without notice to Borrowers, to execute and deliver ancillary documents and letters customary in the letter of credit business that may include but are not limited to advisements, indemnities, checks, bills of exchange and issuance documents, in each case, related to a Letter of Credit.  The power of attorney granted by the Borrowers is limited solely to such actions related to the issuance, confirmation or amendment of any Letter of Credit and to ancillary documents or letters customary in the letter of credit business.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 2.08.    Fees.  In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and (j):
(a)    Utilization Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender for any period during which it is a Defaulting Lender), a quarterly utilization fee equal to its Applicable Percentage of the product of (A) the quotient of (x) the Applicable Fee Rate multiplied by the amount, if any, by which the Average Revolving Credit Facility Balance during the applicable calendar quarter is less than the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (or, if terminated, in effect immediately prior to such termination) divided by 365 multiplied by (b) the number of days in the applicable quarter.
The utilization fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears and if there is any change in the Applicable Fee Rate during any month, the daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Fee Rate for each period during which such Applicable Fee Rate was in effect.  The utilization fee shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met.
(b)    Other Fees.  The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.

	106
	 

“base rate”, and all BA Rate Loans, shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of interest and fees shall, unless otherwise provided, be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Revolving Credit Loan for the day on which the Revolving Credit Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Revolving Credit Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Revolving Credit Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Revolving Credit Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 days) and divided by the number of days in the shorter period (360 days, in the example).  The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.  The principle of deemed reinvestment does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.  The Borrower acknowledges and confirms that:
(i)    this sub-clause (a) satisfies the requirements of Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) to the extent it applies to the expression or statement of any interest payable under any Loan Document; and
(ii)     each Loan Party is able to calculate the yearly rate or percentage of interest payable under any Loan Document based upon the methodology set out in this sub-clause (a).
The Borrower agrees not to, and to cause each Loan Party not to, plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Documents, that the interest payable thereunder and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to any Loan Party, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable Law or legal principle.
(b)    If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of any Group Company or for any other reason, the Borrower Representative or the Revolving Credit Lenders determine that (i) Excess Availability as calculated by the Borrower Representative as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of such Excess Availability would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower Representative shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Administrative Agent (and in any event within five Business Days or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.07(b) or under Article VIII.  The Borrower Representative’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Senior Credit Obligations hereunder.
Section 2.10.    Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Credit Extensions made by each Revolving Credit Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Revolving Credit 

	
			
	 
	107
	 

Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Revolving Credit Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Senior Credit Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Revolving Credit Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Revolving Credit Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(a)    In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.10(a), each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Letters of Credit.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.11.    Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.  
(a)    General.  All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Revolving Credit Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars, Canadian Dollars or Pounds Sterling, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Adjusted Percentage in respect of the applicable Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds in accordance with Section 2.11(g).  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 P.M. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)    Funding and Payments; Presumptions.
(i)    Funding by Revolving Credit Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Credit Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, prior to 2:00 P.M. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Revolving Credit Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving Credit Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base 

	
			
	 
	108
	 

Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Revolving Credit Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing or of any settlement pursuant to Section 2.11(g) available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Revolving Credit Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of demand therefor such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with accrued interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender, the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable.  If such Borrower and such Revolving Credit Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Revolving Credit Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Revolving Credit Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    Failed Loans.  If any Revolving Credit Lender shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”) which such Revolving Credit Lender is otherwise obligated hereunder to make to the Borrowers on the date of Borrowing thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from the Borrower Representative or such Revolving Credit Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until such Revolving Credit Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection (b)(ii)) the Failed Loan in full or the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative or such Revolving Credit Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from or for the account of the Borrowers on account of any Borrowing of the Revolving Credit Loans, (i) the amount so received will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be distributed in the following order of priority:  First, to the Appropriate Lenders on account of the Revolving Credit Loans made by them as part of the Borrowing that would have included the Failed Loan had the relevant Revolving Credit Lender not failed to fund its Failed Loan, ratably among such Appropriate Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Credit Loans made by them as part of such Borrowing, Second, to all other Revolving Credit Loans made by the Appropriate Lenders other than the Defaulting Lenders, ratably among such Appropriate Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Credit Loans made by them, and Third, to the Revolving Credit Loans made by the Appropriate Lenders who are Defaulting Lenders.
(iii)    Defaulted Amounts.  If any Appropriate Lender shall fail to make any payment (the “Defaulted Amount”) to any Agent, any L/C Issuer, or any other Revolving Credit Lender, whether an account of a risk participation in Overadvance Loans, Protective Advances, Letters of Credit or otherwise, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from 

	
			
	 
	109
	 

or for the account of the Borrowers for the account of such Appropriate Lender (other than as described in clause (ii) of this Section 2.11(b)), the amount so received will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be distributed in the following order of priority:  First, to the Agents for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them (other than on account of any Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances), in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Agents, Second, to the Administrative Agent (on account of any outstanding Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances under the relevant Facility) and the applicable L/C Issuer for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such Persons, and Third, to any other Appropriate Lenders for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Appropriate Lenders, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Appropriate Lenders.  Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (iii), shall be applied or held by the Administrative Agent as specified in clause (iv) of this Section 2.11(b).
(iv)    Distribution of Certain Amounts.  If any Revolving Credit Lender shall be an Impacted Lender that does not at any time owe a Failed Loan or a Defaulted Amount, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from or for the account of the Borrowers for the account of such Impacted Lender, the amount so received will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be held without interest by the Administrative Agent and applied from time to time to the extent necessary to make any Revolving Credit Loans required to be made by such Impacted Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Impacted Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Agent, any L/C Issuer, or any other Appropriate Lender, as and when such Revolving Credit Loans or amounts are required to be made or paid.  If the amount so held shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Revolving Credit Loans and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, the Administrative Agent shall apply such held funds in the following order of priority:  First, to the Agents for any amounts then due and payable by such Impacted Lender to them hereunder (other than on account of any Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances), in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to the Agents, Second, to the Administrative Agent (on account of any outstanding Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances under the relevant Facility) and the applicable L/C Issuers for any amounts then due and payable to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, by such Impacted Lender, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such Persons, and Third, to any other Appropriate Lenders for any amount then due and payable by such Impacted Lender to such other Appropriate Lenders hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such other Appropriate Lenders.  In the event that any Impacted Lender ceases to be an Impacted Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect to such Appropriate Lender shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Appropriate Lender and applied by such Lender Party to the Senior Credit Obligations owing to such Appropriate Lender at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Senior Credit Obligations outstanding at such time.
(v)    Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance 

	
			
	 
	110
	 

herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Revolving Credit Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c)    Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Revolving Credit Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Revolving Credit Lender) to such Revolving Credit Lender without interest. 
(d)    Obligations of Revolving Credit Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 
(e)    Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Revolving Credit Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Revolving Credit Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(f)    Insufficient Funds.  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (in each case to the applicable Facility or Facilities) (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of the principal amount of any Overadvance Loans and Protective Advances, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties, (iii) third, toward payment of principal of L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties, and (iv) fourth, toward payments of the principal amount of or any other Revolving Credit Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such principal then due to such parties.

	
			
	 
	111
	 

(g)    Settlement of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans.  To facilitate administration of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Appropriate Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that settlement among them with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swingline Loans under each Facility may take place on a date determined from time to time by the Administrative Agent, which shall occur at least once each week.  With respect to all Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility, the amount of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility shall be computed weekly, and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility as of 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement computation; provided, that, Administrative Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the above described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly.  Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Revolving Credit Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or periods as Administrative Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”).  If the summary statement is sent by Administrative Agent and received by a Revolving Credit Lender prior to 12:00 p.m., then such Revolving Credit Lender shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the same Business Day and if received by a Revolving Credit Lender after 12:00 p.m., then such Revolving Credit Lender shall make the settlement transfer by not later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day following the date of receipt.  If, as of the end of any Settlement Period, the amount of a Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility is more than such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit as of the end of the previous Settlement Period, then such Revolving Credit Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the preceding sentence) transfer to Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the increase.  Alternatively, if the amount of a Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility for the previous Settlement Period, Administrative Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Revolving Credit Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the decrease.  The obligation of each of the Revolving Credit Lenders to transfer such funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by Administrative Agent, without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance or Protective Advance exists, any Default or Event of Default exists, or the conditions in Section 4.02 are satisfied.  Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to mark its books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of its Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Applicable Adjusted Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility to the extent such Loans have been funded by such Revolving Credit Lender.  Because the Administrative Agent or Swingline Lender may be advancing and/or may be repaid Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans under each Facility prior to the time when Revolving Credit Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by Agent in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Revolving Credit Lender, Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers or actually settled with the applicable Revolving Credit Lender as described in this Section.

Section 2.12.    Sharing of Payments by Revolving Credit Lenders.  Except as otherwise provided herein, if any Revolving Credit Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (i) Senior Credit Obligations due and payable to such Revolving Credit Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such Senior Credit Obligations due and payable to such Revolving Credit Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of the Senior Credit Obligations due and payable to all Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Senior Credit Obligations due and payable to all Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time or (ii) Senior Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Revolving Credit Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such Senior Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Revolving Credit Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of the Senior Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Senior Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time, then the Revolving Credit Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Credit Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Senior Credit Obligations then due and payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be; provided that prior to the CAM Exchange Date, each Revolving Credit Lender shall only purchase participations in Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations under the Facility with respect to which they hold a Commitment; provided further that:
(i)    if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Revolving Credit Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Loans or subparticipations in participation interests in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
The Borrowers consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Revolving Credit Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Revolving Credit Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.13.    Increase in Revolving Credit Facility.  
(a)    Requests for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders), the Borrower Representative may from time to time, request an increase (each a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) in any Facility by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding, in the aggregate, $150,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower Representative may make a maximum of five requests for a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, (iii) no Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall cause the Aggregate Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders to exceed $400,000,000, and (iv) no Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall cause the U.K. Revolving Credit Facility to exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $120,000,000.  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower Representative (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders).  All Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase are herein referred to herein as “Additional Loans”.  If a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase in any amount occurs with respect to any Facility, a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall, subject to Section 2.13(k), automatically occur with respect to the other Facility in the same amount.
(b)    Ranking and Other Provisions.  The Additional Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and in respect of Lien priority as to the Collateral with the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, (ii) shall have the same Maturity Date as the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and (iii) shall be on the same terms, and otherwise treated the same, as the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.
(c)    Revolving Credit Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.  Any Revolving Credit Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.
(d)    Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and each Revolving Credit Lender of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower Representative may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Revolving Credit Lenders (“Additional Lenders”) pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(e)    Facility Increase Amendment.  Commitments in respect of any Additional Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (a “Facility Increase Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Primary Loan Parties, each Revolving Credit Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent.  A Facility Increase Amendment may, without the consent of any other Revolving Credit Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13.  At the time of the sending of such notice, the Borrower Representative (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which 

	
			
	 
	114
	 

each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders).
(f)    Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Revolving Credit Facility is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.
(g)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase:  (i) the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party:  (A) certifying and attaching copies of the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase; and (B) in the case of each Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase:  (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.13, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01; (2) no Default or Event of Default then exists, other than any Event of Default that would be (and is) cured upon the occurrence of such Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date; (3) the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 2.13(g) and 4.02 shall have been satisfied both before and after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and the Additional Loans provided thereby (it being understood that all references to “the obligation of any Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan on the occasion of any Borrowing” shall be deemed to refer to the effectiveness of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase on the date of the initial funding of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase); and (4) the Maturity Date of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be coincident with the existing Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Loans; and (ii) (A) the existing Revolving Credit Lenders or other financial institutions, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, commit to be Revolving Credit Lenders and to fund any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase in minimum amounts to be determined; and (B) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders shall have been paid or will be paid concurrently with such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.  The Additional Loans shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders participating therein pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.02.
(h)    Effect of Additional Facility Amendment.  On each Additional Commitments Effective Date, each Revolving Credit Lender or Eligible Assignee which is providing an Additional Commitment (i) shall become a “Revolving Credit Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) shall have, as applicable, an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment which shall become “Commitments” hereunder.
(i)    Revolving Credit Commitment Increases.  
(i)    Upon each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase with respect to the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section, (A) each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each existing U.S. Revolving Credit Lender, if any, and each Additional Lender, if

any, in each case providing a portion of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each a “U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”), and each such U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interests hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participation interests, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participation interests hereunder in Letters of Credit, in each case, held by each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (including each such U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and (B) if, on the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, there are any U.S. Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall take those steps which it deems, in its reasonable discretion and in consultation with the Borrower Representative, reasonably necessary and appropriate to result in each U.S. Revolving Credit Lender (including each U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) having a pro rata share of the outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans based on each such U.S. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, provided that any prepayment made in connection with the taking of any such steps shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any U.S. Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with Section 3.05.  The Administrative Agent and the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any transaction that may be effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Revolving Credit Lenders hereby 

	
			
	 
	116
	 

agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any transaction that may be effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
(iii)    Upon each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase with respect to the U.K. Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section, (A) each U.K. Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each existing U.K. Revolving Credit Lender, if any, and each Additional Lender, if any, in each case providing a portion of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each a “U.K. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”), and each such U.K. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such U.K. Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interests hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participation interests, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participation interests hereunder in Letters of Credit, in each case, held by each U.K. Revolving Credit Lender (including each such U.K. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such U.K. Revolving Credit Lender’s U.K. Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and (B) if, on the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, there are any U.K. Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall take those steps which it deems, in its reasonable discretion and in consultation with the Borrower Representative, reasonably necessary and appropriate to result in each U.K. Revolving Credit Lender (including each U.K. Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) having a pro rata share of the outstanding U.K. Revolving Credit Loans based on each such U.K. Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, provided that any prepayment made in connection with the taking of any such steps shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the U.K. Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any U.K. Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with Section 3.05.

Section 2.14.    LIBO Rate Successor.  If at any time the Administrative Agent or the Parent Borrower reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBO Rate is not available or published on a 

	
			
	 
	117
	 

current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), then the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate, and agree on the margin applicable thereto, giving due consideration to any selection, endorsement or recommendation of a replacement rate and/or replacement spread or the mechanism for determining such a rate or spread by the relevant Governmental Authority in effect at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest, the margin applicable thereto and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section ý10.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date such amendment is provided to the Lenders, written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. If no such alternate rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (w) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans and U.K. Base Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans, U.K. Base Rate Loans or Interest Periods), (x) the Adjusted LIBO Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining Base Rate, (y) U.K. Base Rate Loans shall automatically convert into U.S. Base Rate Loans and (z) Eurocurrency Loans shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan, convert into a U.S. Base Rate Loan or a Canadian Base Rate Loan, as applicable, and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Loans or U.K. Base Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
Section 3.01.    Taxes. The provisions of this Section 3.01 shall not apply in respect of the participation by a U.K. Loan Party in any Loan Document, to which the provisions of Section 3.07 shall apply. 
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.  
(i)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable Laws require any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(ii)    If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable Law or the interpretation thereof by the relevant Governmental Authority to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (A) the amount payable shall be increased by such additional amount as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including, without limitations, deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts paid 

	
			
	 
	118
	 

under this Section) in respect of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes the Administrative Agent, the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the full amount they would have received had no such withholding or deduction in respect of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (B) the relevant Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings; and (C) the relevant Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
(c)    Tax Indemnifications.
(i)    Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above (but without duplication of any payments made by the Loan Parties pursuant to such subsections), the Loan Parties shall, and do hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket 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 any such payment or liability delivered to any Loan Party by a Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii)    Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer (severally, not jointly and severally) shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e).  Each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).  The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Finance Obligations.

	
			
	 
	119
	 

(d)    Evidence of Payments.  Upon a request by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, each Borrower shall deliver as promptly as practicable to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver as promptly as practicable to the Borrower Representative, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)    Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 
(i)    Each Revolving Credit Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine and evidence under applicable Laws and procedures (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (C) such Revolving Credit Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Revolving Credit Lender by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Revolving Credit Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Loan Party is resident for tax purposes in the United States:
(A)    any Revolving Credit Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the time such Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender under this Agreement, properly completed and duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Revolving Credit Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B)    each Foreign Lender (except in connection with a CAM Exchange, with respect to the portion attributable to the CAM Exchange (in which case such Foreign Lender shall comply with Section 3.01(e)(ii)(B) to the extent practicable)) that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender (other than as a result of a CAM Exchange) under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower 

	
			
	 
	120
	 

Representative or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;
(2)    Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;
(3)    Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation;
(4)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10-percent shareholder” of any Loan Party within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
(5)    any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii)    If a payment made to a Revolving Credit Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Revolving Credit Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Revolving Credit Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Revolving Credit Lender has complied with such Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iv)    Each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Revolving Credit Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Revolving Credit Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees that if any 

	
			
	 
	121
	 

form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Revolving Credit Lender shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to do so.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  If the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
(g)    Solely for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to treat) any loan under this Agreement or other Loan Document as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
Section 3.02.    Illegality.  If any Revolving Credit Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Revolving Credit Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate or BA Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Revolving Credit Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Revolving Credit Lender to the Borrower Representative through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Revolving Credit Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans to BA Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Revolving Credit Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall, within one Business Day of demand therefor from such Revolving Credit Lender to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans of such Revolving Credit Lender to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Revolving Credit Lender may 

	
			
	 
	122
	 

lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Revolving Credit Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
Section 3.03.    Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Required Revolving Lenders reasonably determine for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Loan or BA Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate or BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Loan or BA Rate Loan or in connection with a Base Rate Loan, (iii) the Reuters Screen CDOR Page is not available for the timely determination of the BA Rate, and the BA Rate cannot otherwise be determined in a timely manner in accordance with the definition of “BA Rate”, or (iv) the LIBO Rate or BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Loan or BA Rate Loan or in connection with a Base Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Revolving Credit Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Representative and each Revolving Credit Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, BA Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the LIBO Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Revolving Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, in the amount specified therein.
Section 3.04.    Increased Costs.
(a)    Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Revolving Credit Lender (or its Lending Office) (except any reserve requirement which is reflected in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder) or any L/C Issuer;
(ii)    impose on any Revolving Credit Lender (or its Lending Office) or L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or BA Rate Loans made by such Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or BA Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Credit Loan), or to increase the cost to such Revolving Credit Lender or any L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, pay to such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case 

	
			
	 
	123
	 

may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that this Section 3.04 shall not apply if such conditions arise on account of the Bank Levy.
(b)    Capital Requirements.  If any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Revolving Credit Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return (i) on such Revolving Credit Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Revolving Credit Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, (ii) the Commitments of such Revolving Credit Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit made by such Revolving Credit Lender, or (iii) the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer or such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will, jointly and severally, pay to such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer or such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the basis for, and the calculation of, the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delays in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, 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 Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except 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 3.05.    Compensation for Losses.  WITHIN ONE BUSINESS DAY OF WRITTEN DEMAND OF ANY REVOLVING CREDIT LENDER (WITH A COPY TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) FROM TIME TO TIME, THE BORROWERS AGREE, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, PROMPTLY TO COMPENSATE SUCH REVOLVING CREDIT LENDER FOR AND HOLD SUCH REVOLVING CREDIT LENDER HARMLESS FROM ANY LOSS OR ANY COST OR EXPENSE (OTHER THAN LOST PROFITS) INCURRED BY IT AS A RESULT OF:
(i)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Revolving Credit Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last 

	
			
	 
	124
	 

day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(ii)    any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Revolving Credit Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower Representative;
(iii)    any assignment of a Eurocurrency Loan or BA Rate on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 10.13; or
(iv)    the occurrence of a CAM Exchange pursuant to Section 8.04;
including, with respect to clauses (i) through (iv) above, and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Revolving Credit Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Revolving Credit Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the LIBO Rate used in determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in fact so funded.
Section 3.06.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Revolving Credit Lenders.
(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Revolving Credit Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Revolving Credit Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Revolving Credit Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Revolving Credit Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed, out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  The Borrowers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Revolving Credit Lenders.  If any Revolving Credit Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Revolving Credit Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make, continue or convert Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02, the Borrower Representative may replace such Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

(ii)    A U.K. Loan Party shall, promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Administrative Agent accordingly.  Similarly, a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer.  If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer it shall notify the Borrower Representative.
(iii)    Subject to Section 3.07(a)(iv) below, if a Tax Deduction is required by applicable law to be made by a U.K. Loan Party, the amount of the payment due from that U.K. Loan Party shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no such Tax Deduction had been required. 
(iv)    A payment shall not be increased under Section 3.07(a)(iii) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Taxes imposed by the United Kingdom on a payment of interest by a  U.K. Borrower if, on the date on which the payment falls due:
(A)    the payment could have been made to the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer without the Tax Deduction if the Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer had been a U.K. Qualifying Lender, but on that date that the Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer is not or has ceased to be a U.K. Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or U.K. Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(B)    the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer is a U.K. Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of clause (a)(ii) of the definition of U.K. Qualifying Lender, and:

Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the ITA which relates to the payment and that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer has received from the U.K. Borrower making the payment or the Borrower Representative a certified copy of that Direction; and

		
	b.
	the payment could have been made to that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer without the Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or

(C)    the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer is a U.K. Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of clause (a)(ii) of the definition of U.K. Qualifying Lender and:

	a.
	the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer has not given a Tax Confirmation to the U.K. Borrower or the Borrower Representative; and

		
	b.
	the payment could have been made to the a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer without the Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a Tax Confirmation to the U.K. Borrower or the Borrower Representative, on the basis that the Tax Confirmation would have enabled the U.K. Borrower to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the ITA; or

(D)    the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer is a U.K. Treaty Lender and the U.K. Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer without the Tax Deduction had that the Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer complied with its obligations under Section 3.07(a)(vii) or Section 3.07(a)(x), as applicable.
(v)    If a U.K. Loan Party is required to make a Tax Deduction, that U.K. Loan Party shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law. 
(vi)    Within thirty (30) days after making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the U.K. Loan Party making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer entitled to the payment a statement under section 975 of the ITA or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.
(vii)    (A) Subject to clause (B) below, a U.K. Treaty Lender and each U.K. Loan Party which makes a payment to which that U.K. Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that U.K. Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction and (B) (1) a U.K. Treaty Lender which is a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer on the date of this Agreement and that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to a U.K. Borrower) by notifying the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative in writing of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence, including where such notice is included in Schedule 2.01 of this Agreement next to the details of the relevant Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (2) a U.K. Treaty Lender which is not a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer on the date of this Agreement and that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to a U.K. Borrower) in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes on becoming a party as a Lender by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in that Assignment and Assumption, and, having done so, that the Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation pursuant to clause (A) above.

	
			
	 
	127
	 

(viii)    A U.K. Non-Bank Lender which becomes a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer on the date of this Agreement and provides the notice in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative described at paragraph (a) of the definition of “U.K. Non-Bank Lender” gives a Tax Confirmation to each U.K. Borrower by giving such notice.
(ix)    A U.K. Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the Tax Confirmation.
(x)    If a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 3.07(a)(vii)(B) above and:
(A)    a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer has not made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, or
(B)    a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer has made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, but
		
	a.
	that U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by H.M. Revenue & Customs; or

		
	b.
	H.M. Revenue & Customs has not given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payment to that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer without a Tax Deduction within sixty (60) days after the date of the U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing; or

		
	c.
	The authority to make payments to that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer without a Tax Deduction or that Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme has expired or is revoked in writing by H.M. Revenue & Customs,

and in each case the U.K. Borrower has notified that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer in writing that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer and the U.K. Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for the U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.
(xi)    If a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.07(a)(vii)(B), no U.K. Borrower shall make a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s advance or its participation in any advance under a Loan Document, unless that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer otherwise agrees.
(xii)    A U.K. Borrower shall, promptly on making a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of the U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer.

	
			
	 
	128
	 

(b)    Lender Status Confirmation. Each Revolving Credit Lender or each L/C Issuer which becomes a party to this Agreement as a lender after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes on becoming a party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any U.K. Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls within:
(i)    not a U.K. Qualifying Lender;
(ii)    a U.K. Qualifying Lender (other than a U.K. Treaty Lender); or
(iii)    a U.K. Treaty Lender.
If such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 3.07(b) then such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each U.K. Loan Party) as if it is not a U.K. Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower Representative).  For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Assumption shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer to comply with this Section 3.07(b). 
(c)    Tax Indemnity. 
(i)    The U.K. Loan Parties shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Administrative Agent) pay to the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Taxes by that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer in respect of a Loan Document.
(ii)    Section 3.07(c)(i) above shall not apply:
(A)    with respect to any Taxes assessed on a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer:
		
	a.
	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

		
	b.
	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if those Taxes are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer; or
(B)    to the extent a loss, liability or cost:
		
	a.
	is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 3.07(a) (Tax Gross-Up);

	
			
	 
	129
	 

		
	b.
	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 3.07(a) (Tax Gross-Up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 3.07(a)(iv) (Tax Gross-Up) applied; 

(C)    relates to a deduction or withholding from a payment under a Loan Document required by FATCA, required to be made by a U.K. Borrower or the Administrative Agent; or
(D)    arises on account of the Bank Levy.
(iii)    A Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer making, or intending to make a claim under Section 3.07(c)(i) above shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative.
(iv)    A Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall, on receiving a payment from a U.K. Loan Party under Section 3.07(c)(i), notify the Administrative Agent.
(d)    Tax Credit.  If a U.K. Loan Party makes a U.K. Tax Payment and the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer reasonably determines that (i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that U.K. Tax Payment forms part, or to that U.K. Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that U.K. Tax Payment was required; and (ii) that Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit, the Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall pay an amount to the U.K. Loan Party which that Lender reasonably determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the U.K. Tax Payment not been required to be made by the U.K. Loan Party.  Each Revolving Credit Lender or each L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative on becoming aware of any Tax Credit that may give rise to a payment under this Section 3.07(d).
(e)    Stamp Taxes.  A U.K. Loan Party shall pay and, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer against any cost, loss or liability that the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document; provided that this Section  3.02(e) shall not apply in respect of any assignment or transfer by a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer of any of its rights and/or obligations under any Loan Documents, other than an assignment or transfer (i) following an Event of Default that is continuing, (ii) made as part of the primary syndication of a Loan, or (iii) made at the request of any Borrower.
(f)    VAT. 
(i)    All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any party to the Administrative Agent or a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to Section 3.07(f)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Administrative Agent or a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer to any party under any Loan Document and the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and the Administrative 

	
			
	 
	130
	 

Agent or the relevant Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer concerned must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).
(ii)    If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Administrative Agent or a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer (the “Supplier”) to the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer (the “Receiver”) under any Loan Document, and any party other than the Receiver (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Receiver in respect of that consideration):
(A)    (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT.  The Receiver must (where this clause (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiver receives from the relevant tax authority which the Receiver reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and
(B)    (where the Receiver is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Receiver, pay to the Receiver an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Receiver reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT. 
(iii)    Where any Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify the Administrative Agent or a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent or such  Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. 
(iv)    Any reference in Sections 3.02(f)(i) to Section 3.07 (f)(iv) (inclusive) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994).
(v)    In relation to any supply made by the Administrative Agent or a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer to any party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, that party must promptly provide the Administrative Agent or such Lender with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Administrative Agent’s or that Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
(g)    FATCA.  If a payment made to a Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer from the U.K. Borrower under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting 

	
			
	 
	131
	 

requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer has complied with such Revolving Credit Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 3.07(g), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(h)    Determination.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 3.07, a reference to “determines” or “determined” in connection with tax provisions contained in this Section 3.07 means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination, acting in good faith.
Section 3.08.    Survival.  All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Senior Credit Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Section 5.03.    Governmental Authorization; Other Consents.  No approval, consent, exemption, authorization or other action by, or notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with (i) the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the grant by any Loan Party of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents, (iii) the perfection or maintenance of the Liens created under the Collateral Documents or (iv) the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender of its rights under the Loan Documents or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents, except (A) for those approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations or other actions by, or notices to or filings with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person as have been obtained as of the Restatement Effective Date and (B) filings and recordings necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Liens created pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

AGENCY PROVISIONS
Section 9.01.    Appointment and Authority.  
(a)    Administrative Agent.  Each of the Revolving Credit Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank (including with respect to the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, acting through WFCF Canada) to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and such appointment is hereby accepted.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and each L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
(b)    Collateral Agent. Wells Fargo Bank shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Revolving Credit Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and each of the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Revolving Credit Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Finance Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto, and such appointment is hereby accepted.  In this connection, the Collateral Agent, (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
(c)    For the purposes of the grant of any Lien under the laws of the Province of Québec prior to the date hereof, without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, each of the Secured Parties (other than the Collateral Agent) hereby irrevocably constitutes Wells Fargo Bank as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by any Loan

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Québec), the Collateral Agent may acquire and be the holder of any bond or debenture issued by any Loan Party (i.e. the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond issued under any deed of hypothec by any Loan Party).  The constitution of Wells Fargo Bank as fondé de pouvoir, and of the Collateral Agent as bondholder and mandatary with respect to any bond, debenture, shares, capital stock or other securities that may be issued and pledged from time to time to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by each Person accepting an assignment of, a participation in or an arrangement in respect of, all or any portion of any Secured Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, whether by the execution of an assignment, including an Assignment and Assumption or a joinder agreement in the case of any Hedge Bank, or any other agreement pursuant to which it becomes such assignee or participant, and by each successor Collateral Agent by the execution of an Assignment and Assumption or other agreement or otherwise bound by this Agreement, or by the compliance with other formalities, as the case may be, pursuant to which it becomes a successor Agent under this Agreement.  Wells Fargo Bank acting as fondé de pouvoir shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis to Wells Fargo Bank acting as fondé de pouvoir.
(d)    For the purposes of any grant of any Lien under the laws of the Province of Quebec, which may now or in the future be required to be provided by the Loan Parties, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed by each of the other Secured Parties hereto to act as hypothecary representative (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code) for all present and future Revolving Credit Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank), each of the L/C Issuers and each other Secured Party (in such capacity, the “Hypothecary Representative”) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Québec and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under the relevant deed of hypothec and applicable Laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties). The execution prior to the date hereof by the Collateral Agent in its capacity as the Hypothecary Representative of any deed of hypothec or other security documents made pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec is hereby ratified and confirmed.  Any Person who becomes a Revolving Credit Lenders and each of the L/C Issuers or successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Collateral Agent as the Hypothecary Representative on behalf of all Secured Parties, including such Person and any Affiliate of such Person designated above as a Revolving Credit Lender (including in its capacity as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank), each of L/C Issuer.  For greater certainty, the Collateral Agent, acting as the Hypothecary Representative, shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Section 9.06.    Resignation of Agent.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Revolving Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint, with the prior consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and not to be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable meeting the qualifications set forth above which successor shall be a Revolving Credit Lender unless no Revolving Credit Lender is willing to accept such appointment; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative, the Revolving Credit

Lenders and the L/C Issuers that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by such Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring Agent shall instead be made by or to each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Revolving Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and such retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower Representative and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.
If so requested by the Required Revolving Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall appoint, with the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and not to be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), separate successor agents to administer the Canadian Revolving Credit Facility, the U.K. Revolving Credit Facility and the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, in which case, all provisions applicable to the Administrative Agent shall be equally applicable to such successor agents.
Any resignation by Wells Fargo Bank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Wells Fargo Bank as a retiring L/C Issuer, (ii) Wells Fargo Bank, as a retiring L/C Issuer, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations in such capacities hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii) a successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by Wells Fargo Bank outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Wells Fargo Bank as a retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of Wells Fargo Bank as issuer of such Letters of Credit.
Section 9.07.    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Revolving Credit Lenders.  Each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Credit Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Credit Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking

This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claims.
(c)    Reimbursement by Revolving Credit Lenders.  To the extent that the Primary Loan Parties for any reason fail indefeasibly to pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it or them to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), each L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Revolving Credit 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, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity.

	207
	 

any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e)    Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 20 days after demand therefor.
(f)    Survival.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Revolving Credit Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Senior Credit Obligations.
Section 10.05.    Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Revolving Credit Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Revolving Credit Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Revolving Credit Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (ii) each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Senior Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.06.    Successors and Assigns.  
(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender and no Revolving Credit Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other 

	
			
	 
	208
	 

than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Revolving Credit Lenders.  Any Revolving Credit Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations, Swingline Loans and Protective Advances) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.  
(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment under any Facility and the Revolving Credit Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B)    in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Revolving Credit 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the “Trade Date”, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or a Dollar Equivalent thereof) unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Representative otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned.  If any Revolving Credit Lender assigns any of its rights or obligations under any Facility to any Person, such Revolving Credit Lender shall assign a proportionate share of its rights and obligations under the other Facility to such Person or an Affiliate of such Person; it being understood that if a Revolving Credit Lender has a Revolving Credit Commitment in any amount in one Facility, such Revolving Credit Lender or an Affiliate of such Revolving Credit Lender shall have a Revolving Credit Commitment in the other Facility in the same amount.
(iii)    Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

	
			
	 
	209
	 

(A)    the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund (except that no Canadian Revolving Credit Lender may assign its rights or obligations hereunder to a Lender or an Approved Fund if such assignee would not satisfy the definition of “Canadian Revolving Credit Lender”); provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of such Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender; and
(C)    the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a payment by the applicable assignee of a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Revolving Credit Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)    No Assignment to Borrowers, Affiliates or Subsidiaries.  No assignment shall be made to any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
(vi)    No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No assignment shall be made to (A) a natural person, (B) a Defaulting Lender or (C) absent the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to a Person (an “Ineligible Assignee”) disclosed on a list of competitors identified as Ineligible Assignees and accepted by the Administrative Agent prior to the Restatement Effective Date, as updated from time to time by the Borrower Representative and approved by the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(vii)    No Assignment to Non-Canadian Revolving Credit Lender.  No such assignment of all or a portion of a Canadian Revolving Credit Lender’s Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment or other rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be made to any Person other than an assignee who satisfies the definition of Canadian Revolving Credit Lender.
(viii)    No Assignment unless Registered.  No assignment shall be effective unless and until such assignment is recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(c).

	
			
	 
	210
	 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Revolving Credit Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its reasonable expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Revolving Credit Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Revolving Credit Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Revolving Credit Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).
(c)    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office (i) a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and (ii) a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Revolving Credit Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Revolving Credit 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 and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Revolving Credit Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Participations.  Any Revolving Credit Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any Defaulting Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Revolving Credit Loans (including such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Revolving Credit Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Revolving Credit Lender in connection with such Revolving Credit Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Revolving Credit Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (y) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Revolving Credit Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b).  In the event that any Revolving Credit Lender sells a participation pursuant to this Section 10.06(d), such Revolving Credit Lender shall maintain with 

	
			
	 
	211
	 

respect to such participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, a register comparable to the Register (the “Participant Register”).  Interests in the rights and/or obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender under this Agreement may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on such Participant Register.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Revolving Credit Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Revolving Credit Lender.
(e)    Limitation Upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Revolving Credit 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.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Participant that would be a Foreign Revolving Credit Lender if it were a Revolving Credit Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Revolving Credit Lender.
(f)    Certain Pledges.  Any Revolving Credit Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Revolving Credit Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Revolving Credit Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Revolving Credit Lender as a party hereto.
(g)    Resignation as an L/C Issuer after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time (i) Wells Fargo Bank or any other Revolving Credit Lender assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b) or (ii) after giving effect to the resignation of a U.S. L/C Issuer, Canadian L/C.

Section 10.07.    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information and to not use the Information for any purpose except in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that Information may be disclosed:  (i) to its Affiliates and to it and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives who have a need to know such information to facilitate the exercise of the rights granted and the fulfillment of the obligations imposed by the Loan Documents (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); (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party hereto; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(c), or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower Representative or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative 

	
			
	 
	213
	 

Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower.
For purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information” means all non-public information received from the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.  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 at least the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own similar confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Agent and any Revolving Credit Lender may place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, after the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise describing the names of the Loan Parties, or any of them, and the amount, type and closing date of such transactions, all at their sole expense.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning any Borrower or one or more of their Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Laws, including federal and state securities Laws.
Section 10.08.    Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Revolving Credit Lender, L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Revolving Credit Lender or an L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Revolving Credit Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Revolving Credit Lender, the L/C Issuers and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Revolving Credit Lender, the L/C Issuers or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Revolving Credit Lender and L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  No Revolving Credit Lender shall set off against any Cash Collateral Account without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.09.    Interest Rate Limitation. 
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower Representative.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Revolving Credit Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Senior Credit Obligations hereunder.
(b)    If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Administrative Agent in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:
(i)    first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and
(ii)    thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).
Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.
Section 10.10.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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.  Subject to Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 10.11.    Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such 

	
			
	 
	215
	 

representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Senior Credit Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
Section 10.12.    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.13.    Replacement of Lenders.  If (i) any Revolving Credit Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Revolving Credit Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to make, continue or convert Eurocurrency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02, (iv) any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender (v) the Borrowers are entitled to remove a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 10.01, or (vi) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives any Borrower the right to replace a Revolving Credit Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Revolving Credit Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Revolving Credit Lender, if a Revolving Credit Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(i)    the Borrowers or the assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
(ii)    such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) 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);
(iii)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Revolving Credit Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Revolving Credit Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Representative to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c)    For purposes of determining any rate of exchange or currency equivalent for this Section 10.19, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

(ii)    shall provide to each Revolving Credit Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Certain Revolving Credit Lenders and their Affiliates at the time acting as Hedge Banks may from time to time provide forward rate agreements, options, swaps, caps, floors and other Swap Contracts to the Loan Parties (as defined below).  In addition, certain Revolving Credit Lenders or their Affiliates at the time acting as Cash Management Banks may provide treasury management services to, for the benefit of, or otherwise in respect of, the Loan Parties (including treasury, depository, overdraft, credit or debit card, electronic funds transfer and other cash management arrangements).

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Collateral Agent may use any convenient or customary means for the purpose of collecting such checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment.
(e)    Withdrawals from U.S. Cash Proceeds Account. If a Cash Dominion Event shall have occurred and be continuing and if any Finance Obligations are then outstanding, all of the funds on deposit in the U.S. Cash Proceeds Account shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and immediately used to repay (or cash collateralize, as applicable) such Finance Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Section 2.05      U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account All amounts required to be deposited by any U.S. Loan Party as cash collateral for L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.03(g), Section 2.04(b) or Section 8.02(iii) of the Credit Agreement, any similar provision of any other Loan Document or pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof shall be deposited in a Securities Account or a Deposit Account (the “U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account”) established and maintained by such U.S. Loan Party at Wells Fargo Bank or such other Securities Intermediary or bank, as applicable, in the name and under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent.  Upon or prior to the establishment of such account, the applicable U.S. Loan Party shall notify the Collateral Agent of the location, account name and account number of such account and shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an Account Control Agreement with respect to such U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account duly executed by such U.S. Loan Party and the Securities Intermediary or bank, as applicable, maintaining such U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account.  Any income received with respect to the balance from time to time standing to the credit of the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account, including any interest or capital gains on Liquid Investments, shall remain, or be deposited, in the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account.  All right, title and interest in and to the cash amounts on deposit from time to time in the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account together with any Liquid Investments from time to time made pursuant to Section 2.06 and any other property or assets from time to time deposited in or credited to the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account shall vest in and be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall constitute part of the Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Finance Obligations until applied thereto as hereinafter provided; provided, however, that so long as an Event of Default is not continuing, the applicable U.S. Loan Party shall be entitled to withdraw any funds on deposit in such account, in accordance with the 

16

Credit Agreement.  If and when any portion of the L/C Obligations on which any deposit in the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account was based (the “Relevant Contingent Exposure”) shall become fixed (a “Direct Exposure”) as a result of the payment by the L/C Issuer with respect thereto of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Direct Exposure (but not more than the amount in the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account at the time) shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent from the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account and shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for application pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and the Relevant Contingent Exposure shall thereupon be reduced by such amount.  Each U.S. Loan Party hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to each such distribution.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the excess of the funds in the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account over the Relevant Contingent Exposure shall be retained in the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account and may be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and applied in the manner specified in Section 5.05.  If immediately available cash on deposit in the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account is not sufficient to make any distribution to a U.S. Loan Party referred to in this Section 2.05, the Collateral Agent shall promptly cause to be liquidated such Liquid Investments in the Cash Collateral Account designated by such U.S. Loan Party as are required to obtain sufficient cash to make such distribution and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05, such portion of such distribution not so immediately available in cash shall not be made until such liquidation has taken place.
Section 2.06      Investment of Funds in Collateral Accounts So long as a Cash Dominion Event is not continuing, amounts on deposit in the Collateral Accounts shall be invested and re-invested from time to time in such Liquid Investments as the Borrower Representative shall determine, which Liquid Investments shall be held under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent; provided that, so long as a Cash Dominion Event is not continuing, the applicable U.S. Loan Party may withdraw any such Liquid Investments except from the U.S. Cash Proceeds Account; provided, further, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may liquidate any such Liquid Investments and apply or cause to be applied the proceeds thereof in the manner specified in Section 5.05.  For this purpose, “Liquid Investments” means Cash Equivalents maturing within 30 days after a Cash Equivalent is acquired by the Collateral Agent.

COVENANTS
Each U.S. Loan Party covenants and agrees that until the payment in full of all Finance Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and until there is no commitment by any Secured Party to make further advances, incur obligations or otherwise give value, such U.S. Loan Party will comply with the following:
Section 4.01      Delivery of Perfection Certificate; Initial Perfection Such U.S. Loan Party shall (i) on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date, deliver its Perfection Certificate to the Collateral Agent and (ii) cause all filings and recordings specified in Schedule 4.01 hereto to have been completed within three Business Days after the Restatement Effective Date.

To the extent not previously delivered, no later than 60 days following the Restatement Effective Date, such U.S. Loan Party shall deliver to the Collateral Agent fully executed Account Control Agreements with respect to each of its Deposit Accounts (other than (i) Exempt Deposit Accounts and (ii) to the extent the aggregate amount held on deposit in any Deposit Account (other than any Collateral Account, Collection Account or U.S. 

19

Concentration Account) does not exceed $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Deposit Accounts).
Section 4.02      Change of Name, Identity, Structure or Location; Subjection to Other Security Agreements Such U.S. Loan Party will not change its name, identity, structure or location (determined as provided in Section 9-307 of the UCC) in any manner, unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent notice thereof contemporaneously with such change.  Such U.S. Loan Party shall not in any event change the location of any Collateral or its name, identity, structure or location (determined as provided in Section 9-307 of the UCC), or become bound, as provided in Section 9-203(d) of the UCC, by a security agreement entered into by another Person with respect to any Collateral, if such change would cause the Security Interests in any Collateral to lapse or cease to be perfected unless such U.S. Loan Party has taken on or before the date of lapse all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that the Security Interests in the Collateral do not lapse or cease to be perfected.
Section 4.03      Further Actions Such U.S. Loan Party will, from time to time at its reasonable expense and in such manner and form as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, execute, deliver, file and record or authorize the recording of any financing statement, specific assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any other action (including, without limitation, any filings of financing or continuation statements under the UCC) that from time to time may be necessary under the UCC, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Security Interests in the United States or to enable the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to obtain the full benefit of this Agreement or to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies created hereunder or under applicable Law with respect to any of the Collateral in which the Security Interests may be perfected under the laws of the United States.  Such U.S. Loan Party shall maintain the Security Interest as a first priority Lien, subject only to Permitted Liens (all of which shall be junior to the Security Interests, except for Permitted Liens that are non-consensual Liens whose priority is determined by applicable law, or are other Permitted Liens which are permitted to be senior to the Security Interests pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement), and shall defend such security interests as first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens (all of which shall be junior to the Security Interests, except for Permitted Liens that are non-consensual Liens whose priority is determined by applicable law, or are other Permitted Liens which are permitted to be senior to the Security Interests pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement), and such priority against the claims and demands of all Persons to the extent adverse to such U.S. Loan Party’s ownership rights or otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, such U.S. Loan Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file, in the name of such U.S. Loan Party or otherwise and without the signature or other separate authorization or authentication of such U.S. Loan Party appearing thereon, such UCC financing statements or continuation statements as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably deem necessary to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Security Interests.  Such U.S. Loan Party agrees that, except to the extent that any filing office requires otherwise, a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement.  The U.S. Loan Parties shall pay the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs of, or 

20

incidental to, any recording or filing of any financing or continuation statements or other assignment documents concerning the Collateral as set forth in this Section 4.03.
Section 4.04      Intentionally Omitted Collateral in Possession of Other Persons Each U.S. Loan Party agrees that if any warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature of a warehouse receipt is issued with respect to any of its Inventory (other than Inventory shipped by an external manufacturer or wholesale distributor located outside the United States, U.K. or Canada to a U.S. Borrower pursuant to an open-account purchase and subject to a negotiable document of title showing the applicable U.S. Borrower as consignee and which document of title is indorsed to, and in the possession of, the Administrative Agent or such other Person as the Administrative Agent shall approve), such warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature thereof shall not be “negotiable” (as such term is used in Section 7-104 of the UCC as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction or under other relevant Law).
Section 4.05      Books and Records Such U.S. Loan Party shall keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the copies or originals of all documentation with respect thereto, records of all payments received, all credits granted thereon, all merchandise returned and all other dealings therewith, and such U.S. Loan Party will make the same available to the Collateral Agent for inspection, as required pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4.07      Collection of Receivables Such U.S. Loan Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be collected from each Account Debtor, as and when due, any and all amounts owing under or on account of each Receivable (including, without limitation, Receivables which are delinquent, such Receivables to be collected in accordance with 

21

lawful collection procedures) in its ordinary course of business, unless such U.S. Loan Party shall reasonably determine that such Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable or that such efforts would be of negligible economic value, and shall apply promptly upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Receivable.  Such U.S. Loan Party shall not rescind or cancel any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by any Receivable, modify, make adjustments to, extend, renew, compromise or settle any material dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating to, or (except in the case of Factoring Arrangements permitted by the Credit Agreement) sell or assign, any Receivable, or interest therein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such U.S. Loan Party may allow as adjustments to amounts owing under its Receivables (i) an extension or renewal of the time or times of payment, or settlement for less than the total unpaid balance, which such U.S. Loan Party finds appropriate in accordance with sound business judgment and (ii) a refund or credit due as a result of returned or damaged merchandise, all in accordance with such U.S. Loan Party’s ordinary course of business consistent with its historical collection practices.  The costs and reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees of external counsel) of collection of Receivables, whether incurred by such U.S. Loan Party or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the U.S. Loan Parties.
Section 4.08      Notification to Account Debtors From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and if requested by the Collateral Agent, such U.S. Loan Party will promptly notify each Account Debtor in respect of any Receivable that such Collateral has been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral are to be made by such Account Debtor and any other Person via direct wire transfer to the Collateral Agent or its designee in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof.
Section 4.09      Disposition of Collateral Such U.S. Loan Party will not sell, lease, exchange, license, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any Collateral or create or suffer to exist any Lien (other than the Security Interests and Permitted Liens (all of which shall be junior to the Security Interests, except for non-consensual Liens whose priority is determined by applicable law or are other Permitted Liens which are permitted to be senior to the Security Interests pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement) on any Collateral except that, subject to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, such U.S. Loan Party may sell, lease, exchange, license, assign, or otherwise dispose of, or grant options with respect to, Collateral to the extent expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, whereupon, in the case of any such disposition, the Security Interests created hereby in such item (but not in any Proceeds arising from such disposition) shall cease immediately without any further action on the part of the Collateral Agent.
Section 4.10      Insurance Such U.S. Loan Party will cause the Collateral Agent to be named as an insured party and loss payee, effective at all times on and after the Restatement Effective Date, on each insurance policy covering risks relating to any of its Inventory to the extent required under Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement.  Each such insurance policy shall provide that no cancellation, termination or material modification thereof shall be effective until at least 10 days 

22

after receipt by the Collateral Agent of notice thereof.  Such U.S. Loan Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact, effective during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make proof of loss, claims for insurance and adjustments with insurers, and to execute or endorse all documents, checks or drafts in connection with payments made as a result of any insurance policies.
Section 4.11      Information Regarding Collateral Such U.S. Loan Party will, promptly upon request, provide to the Collateral Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 4.12      Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts Except as expressly provided in Section 4.01 hereof, no U.S. Loan Party shall establish after the date hereof or permit to exist any Deposit Account (other than Exempt Deposit Accounts) or any Securities Account (other than Exempt Deposit Accounts) without promptly delivering to the Collateral Agent a fully executed Account Control Agreement with respect to such account.  Subject to Section 2.04 hereof and the rights of the Collateral Agent under Article V hereof, each U.S. Loan Party shall cause all Proceeds of Collateral hereunder to be deposited in a Collateral Account maintained with the Collateral Agent or with respect to which an effective Account Control Agreement has been delivered to the Collateral Agent.
Section 4.13      Electronic Chattel Paper If such Chattel Paper is intended to constitute Collateral under Section 2.01, such U.S. Loan Party shall create, store and otherwise maintain all records comprising electronic Chattel Paper in a manner such that:  (i) a single authoritative copy of each such record exists which is unique, identifiable and, except as provided in clause (iv) below, unalterable, (ii) if requested by the Collateral Agent, the authoritative copy of each such record shall identify the Collateral Agent as the assignee thereof, (iii) if requested by the Collateral Agent, the authoritative copy of each such record is communicated to and maintained by the Collateral Agent or its designee, (iv) if requested by the Collateral Agent, copies or revisions that add or change any assignees of such record can be made only with the participation of the Collateral Agent, (v) each copy (other than the authoritative copy) of such record is readily identifiable as a copy and (vi) any revision of the authoritative copy of such record is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.

ARTICLE V
GENERAL AUTHORITY; REMEDIES

24

Section 5.02      Authority of the Collateral Agent Each U.S. Loan Party acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by it or them, or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as among the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the U.S. Loan Parties on the other, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the other Secured Parties it represents as collateral agent, in each case with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no U.S. Loan Party shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
Section 5.03      Remedies upon Event of Default.
(a)    If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Finance Obligations (including, without limitation, the right to give instructions or a notice of sole or exclusive control under an Account Control Agreement):  (i) exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable laws (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) and, in addition, (ii) without demand of performance or other demand or notice of any kind (except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of Law) to or upon any U.S. Loan Party or any other Person (all of which demands and/or notices are hereby waived by each U.S. Loan Party), (A) withdraw all cash and Liquid Investments in the Collateral Accounts and apply such cash and Liquid Investments and other cash, if any, then held by it as Collateral as specified in Section 5.05, (B) give notice and take sole possession and control of all amounts on deposit in or credited to any Deposit Account or Securities Account pursuant to the related Account Control Agreement and apply all such funds as specified in Section 5.05 and (C) if there shall be no such cash, Liquid Investments or other amounts or if such cash, Liquid Investments and other amounts shall be insufficient to pay all the Finance Obligations in full or cannot be so applied for any reason, collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral and/or sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral (or contract to do so) or any part thereof at public or private sale, at any office of the Collateral Agent or elsewhere in such manner as is commercially reasonable and as the Collateral Agent may deem best, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk and at such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory.
(b)    If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall give each U.S. Loan Party not less than 10 days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral permitted by this Article V, except any Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market.  Any such notice shall (i) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (ii) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated, (iii) contain the information specified in Section 9-613 of the UCC, (iv) be authenticated and (v) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to Section 9-611(c) of 

25

the UCC; provided that, if the Collateral Agent fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC.  The Collateral Agent and each U.S. Loan Party agree that such notice constitutes reasonable notification within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each U.S. Loan Party hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, notice and judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or disposition of any of the Collateral.
(c)    The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale).  Each U.S. Loan Party will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent deems necessary in order that any such sale may be made in compliance with Law.  Upon any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold to it absolutely and free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned without further notice.  In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice.
(d)    For the purpose of enforcing any and all rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) require each U.S. Loan Party to, and each U.S. Loan Party agrees that it will, at its expense and upon the request of the Collateral Agent, reasonably promptly assemble, store and keep all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available at a place designated by the Collateral Agent which is, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and such U.S. Loan Party, whether at the premises of such U.S. Loan Party or otherwise, it being understood that such U.S. Loan Party’s obligation so to deliver such Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such U.S. Loan Party of such obligation; (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premise where any of the Collateral is or may be located, and without charge or liability to any U.S. Loan Party, seize and remove such Collateral from such premises; (iii) have access to and use such U.S. Loan Party’s books and records relating to the Collateral; and (iv) prior to the disposition of such Collateral, store or transfer it without charge in or by means of any storage or transportation facility owned or leased 

26

by such U.S. Loan Party, process, repair or recondition it or otherwise prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate and, in connection with such preparation and disposition, use without charge any Intellectual Property, Computer Hardware or technical process used by such U.S. Loan Party.  The Collateral Agent may also render any or all of the Collateral unusable at any U.S. Loan Party’s premises and may dispose of such Collateral on such premises without liability for rent or costs.
(e)    If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it pursuant to this Section 5.03, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, and may in addition institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement.
(f)    If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, without notice to any U.S. Loan Party or any party claiming through any U.S. Loan Party, without regard to the solvency or insolvency at such time of any Person then liable for the payment of any of the Finance Obligations, without regard to the then value of the Collateral and without requiring any bond from any complainant in such proceedings, be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver or receivers (who may be the Collateral Agent) of the Collateral or any part thereof, and of the profits, revenues and other income thereof, pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and to the entry of an order directing that the profits, revenues and other income of the property constituting the whole or any part of the Collateral be segregated, sequestered and impounded for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, and each U.S. Loan Party irrevocably consents to the appointment of such receiver or receivers and to the entry of such order.
(g)    Each U.S. Loan Party agrees, to the extent it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, turnover or redemption Law, or any Law permitting it to direct the order in which the Collateral shall be sold, now or at any time hereafter in force which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Agreement, and each U.S. Loan Party hereby waives all benefit or advantage of all such Laws.  Each U.S. Loan Party covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in any Finance Document.
(h)    Each U.S. Loan Party, to the extent it may lawfully do so, on behalf of itself and all who claim through or under it, including, without limitation, any and all subsequent creditors, vendees, assignees and lienors, waives and releases all rights to demand or to have any marshalling of the Collateral upon any sale, whether made under any power of sale granted herein or pursuant to judicial proceedings or under any foreclosure or any enforcement of this Agreement, and consents and agrees that all of the Collateral may at any such sale be offered and sold as an entirety.
(i)    Each U.S. Loan Party waives, to the extent permitted by Law, presentment, demand, protest and any notice of any kind (except the notices expressly required hereunder or in 

27

the other Finance Documents) in connection with this Agreement and any action taken by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral.
Section 5.04      Limitation on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall have any duty to exercise any rights or take any steps to preserve the rights of any U.S. Loan Party in the Collateral in its or their possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be liable to any U.S. Loan Party or any other Person for failure to meet any obligation imposed by Section 9-207 of the UCC or any successor provision.  Each U.S. Loan Party agrees that the Collateral Agent shall at no time be required to, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable to any U.S. Loan Party for any failure to, account separately to any U.S. Loan Party for amounts received or applied by the Collateral Agent from time to time in respect of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.
Section 5.05      Application of Proceeds.
(a)    Priority of Distributions.  The proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral and any cash held in the Collateral Accounts shall be applied as provided in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.  The Collateral Agent may make distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.
(b)    Distributions with Respect to Letters of Credit.  Each of the U.S. Loan Parties and the Secured Parties agrees and acknowledges that, on the Maturity Date or following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, if (after all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations have been paid in full) the Revolving Credit Lenders are to receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued (or deemed issued) under the Credit Agreement, such amounts shall be deposited in the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account as cash security for the repayment of Senior Credit Obligations owing to the Revolving Credit Lenders as such, if any.  Upon termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit, all of such cash security shall be applied to the remaining Senior Credit Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders as such.  If there remains any excess cash security, such excess cash shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent from the U.S. L/C Cash Collateral Account and distributed in accordance with Section 5.05(a) hereof.
(c)    Reliance by Collateral Agent.  For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 5.05, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and (ii) each authorized representative (the “Representative”) for one or more Hedge Banks and/or Cash Management Banks for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each Representative and the Secured Parties agree (or shall agree) 

28

to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Finance Obligations owed to the Secured Parties, and shall have no liability to any U.S. Loan Party or any other Secured Party for actions taken in reliance on such information except in the case of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from a Hedge Bank or a Cash Management Bank) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secured Hedge Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements are in existence.  All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall be presumptively correct (except in the event of manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Secured Parties of any amounts distributed to them.
(d)    Deficiencies.  It is understood that the U.S. Loan Parties shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the amount of the Finance Obligations.
ARTICLE VI
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS
Section 6.01      License Grant to Collateral Agent Effective immediately and automatically upon an Event of Default and during the continuance of such Event of Default, the U.S. Loan Parties hereby grant to the Collateral Agent a royalty-free, non-exclusive license or sublicense to use all Intellectual Property and Computer Hardware solely in connection with the sale or any other disposition (whether public or private) of the Inventory included in the Collateral, the completion of unfinished or work in progress Inventory, the collection of Receivables included in the Collateral, or otherwise dealing with the Collateral or any other collateral pledged by the other Loan Parties in favor of Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall require that the quality of all products and services in connection with which the Collateral Agent uses any Trademark shall be substantially consistent with or better than the quality of such products and services as of the date of the Event of Default (it being understood that the foregoing shall not limit the channels of trade or the type of sale or disposition (any marketing used therefor) in which the Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of any Inventory).
ARTICLE VII
COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 7.01      Concerning the Collateral Agent The provisions of Article IX of the Credit Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent in respect of this Agreement and shall be binding upon all U.S. Loan Parties and all Secured Parties and upon the parties hereto in such respect.  In furtherance and not in derogation of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Collateral Agent therein set forth:
(i)    The Collateral Agent is authorized to take all such actions as are provided to be taken by it as Collateral Agent hereunder and all other action reasonably incidental thereto.  As to any matters not expressly provided for herein (including, without limitation, the timing and methods of realization upon the Collateral), the Collateral Agent may act or refrain from acting in accordance with written instructions from the Required 

29

Revolving Lenders (or, after all Senior Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full and all Revolving Credit Commitments with respect thereto terminated, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate amount of outstanding (x) Cash Management Obligations owing under Secured Cash Management Agreements entered into by and between any Loan Party and any Cash Management Bank and (y) Swap Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements entered into by or between any Loan Party and any Hedge Bank) or, in the absence of such instructions or provisions, in accordance with its reasonable discretion.
(ii)    The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Security Interests in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder unless such action or omission constitutes bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement by any U.S. Loan Party.
Section 7.02      Appointment of Co-Collateral Agent At any time or times, in order to comply with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one or more other persons, either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly with the Collateral Agent, or to act as separate agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the reasonable discretion of the Collateral Agent, include provisions for the protection of such co-agent or separate agent similar to the provisions of Section 7.01).  Notwithstanding any such appointment but only to the extent not inconsistent with such legal requirements or, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, not unduly burdensome to it or any such co-agent, each U.S. Loan Party shall be entitled to deal solely and directly with the Collateral Agent rather than any such co-agent in connection with the Collateral Agent’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  
ARTICLE VIII

Notices and other communications hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer if such Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices by electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Finance Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.  Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of any Secured Party to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of any U.S. Loan Party other than its indebtedness under the Finance Documents.  

31

Section 8.03      Compensation and Expenses of the Collateral Agent; Indemnification.
(a)    Expenses.  The U.S. Loan Parties, jointly and severally, agree (i) to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent for all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the reasonable fees and the documented, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of Otterbourg P.C., counsel for the Collateral Agent, (ii) to pay or reimburse the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for all documented taxes which the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be required to pay by reason of the security interests granted in the Collateral (including any applicable stamp or transfer taxes) or to free any of the Collateral from the lien thereof and (iii) to pay or reimburse each Agent, any representative of one or more Hedge Banks or one or more Cash Management Banks and each other Secured Party for all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement or preservation of any rights and remedies in connection with this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, including its rights under this Section 8.03 (including all such reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Finance Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law).  The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent and the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by or on behalf of the Agents and the Secured Parties.  The agreements in this Section 8.03(a) shall survive the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Discharge of Finance Obligations.
(b)    Protection of Collateral.  If any U.S. Loan Party fails to comply with the provisions of any Loan Document, such that the value of any Collateral or the validity, perfection, rank or value of any Security Interest is thereby diminished or potentially diminished or put at risk, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be required to, effect such compliance on behalf of such U.S. Loan Party, and the U.S. Loan Parties shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs thereof on demand.  All reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket insurance expenses and all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, appraising, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral, any and all excise, property, sales and use taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on any of the Collateral, or in respect of periodic appraisals and inspections of the Collateral, or in respect of the sale or other disposition thereof shall be borne and paid by the U.S. Loan Parties.  If any U.S. Loan Party fails to promptly pay any portion thereof when due, the Collateral Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay the same and charge the U.S. Loan Parties’ account therefor, and the U.S. Loan Parties agree to reimburse the Collateral Agent therefor on demand.  All sums so paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent for any of the foregoing and any and all other sums for which any U.S. Loan Party may become liable hereunder and all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and the documented, out-of-pocket charges and 

32

disbursements of external counsel, legal expenses and reasonable out-of-pocket court costs) incurred by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in enforcing or protecting the Security Interests or any of their rights or remedies under this Agreement, shall be additional obligations hereunder.
(c)    Indemnification.  Each U.S. Loan Party, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and, in the case of any Approved Funds, trustees, advisors and attorneys-in-fact and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against:  (i) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that may at any time (including at any time following the Discharge of Finance Obligations and the resignation or removal of any Agent, any representative of one or more Hedge Banks or one or more Cash Management Banks or the replacement of any Revolving Credit Lender) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchasing, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition or use of the Collateral (including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), the violation of the Laws of any country, state or other Governmental Authority, or any tort (including, without limitation, any claims, arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnitee), or property damage) or contract claim arising with respect to the Collateral; (ii) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (i) above; and (iii) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, and reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including the reasonable, out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of external counsel to the Collateral Agent; provided, that, such external counsel shall be limited to one primary counsel and one local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction in which a Loan Party is formed or incorporated or in which assets included in the Canadian Borrowing Base or U.K. Borrowing Base are located) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any claim, demand, action or cause of action or proceeding with respect to the Collateral, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action or proceeding with respect to the Collateral or any Collateral Document, in all cases, and whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action or cause of action, or proceeding; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim to the extent such claim is determined to have been caused by its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.03(c) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any U.S. Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person or any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the U.S. Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Finance Documents, the agreements and obligations of the U.S. Loan Parties contained in this Section 8.03(c) shall survive the Discharge of Finance Obligations. Any amounts paid by any Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has a right to reimbursement hereunder shall constitute Finance Obligations.

33

(d)    Contribution.  If and to the extent that the obligations of any U.S. Loan Party under this Section 8.03 are unenforceable for any reason, each U.S. Loan Party hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable Law.
Section 8.04      Enforcement The Secured Parties agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent, who may be acting upon the instructions of the Required Revolving Lenders (or, after all Senior Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full and all Revolving Credit Commitments with respect thereto terminated, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate amount of outstanding (x) Cash Management Obligations owing under Secured Cash Management Agreements entered into by and between any Loan Party and any Cash Management Bank and (y) Swap Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements entered into by or between any Loan Party and any Hedge Bank) and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent (or, after all Senior Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full and all Revolving Credit Commitments with respect thereto have been terminated, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate amount of outstanding (x) Cash Management Obligations owing under Secured Cash Management Agreements entered into by and between any Loan Party and any Cash Management Bank and (y) Swap Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements entered into by or between any Loan Party and any Hedge Bank) for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 8.05      Amendments and Waivers Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, changed, discharged, terminated or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by each U.S. Loan Party directly or indirectly affected by such amendment, change, discharge, termination or waiver (it being understood that the addition or release of any U.S. Loan Party hereunder shall not constitute an amendment, change, discharge, termination or waiver affecting any U.S. Loan Party other than the U.S. Loan Party so added or released) and the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that any amendment, change, discharge, termination or waiver adversely affecting the rights and benefits of only a single Class of Secured Parties (and not all Secured Parties in a like or similar manner) shall require the written consent of the Required Secured Parties (as defined below) of such Class of Secured Parties.  For the purposes of this Section 8.05, the term “Class” means each class of Secured Parties, i.e., whether (x) the Revolving Credit Lenders, as holders of the Senior Credit Obligations, (y) the Hedge Banks, as holders of the obligations under the Secured Hedge Agreements or (z) the Cash Management Banks, as holders of the obligations under the Secured Cash Management Agreements.  For the purposes of this Section 8.05, the term “Required Secured Parties” of any Class means each of (x) with respect to the Senior Credit Obligations comprising Finance Obligations, the Required Revolving Lenders, (y) with respect to the obligations under all Secured Hedge Agreements entered into by or between any Loan Party and any Hedge Bank, the holders of more than 50% of such obligations outstanding from time to time and (z) with respect to the obligations under all Secured Cash Management Agreements entered into by and between any Loan Party and any Cash Management Bank, the holders of more than 50% of such obligations outstanding from time to time.

34

Section 8.06      Successors and Assigns This Agreement shall be binding upon each of the parties hereto and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns.  In the event of an assignment of all or any of the Finance Obligations, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness.  No U.S. Loan Party shall assign or delegate any of its rights and duties hereunder except as provided in the Credit Agreement.
Section 8.07      Governing Law THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).
Section 8.08      Limitation of Law; Severability.
(a)    All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of Law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of Law which may be controlling and be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable Law.
(b)    If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 8.09      Counterparts; Effectiveness This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each U.S. Loan Party when the Collateral Agent shall receive counterparts hereof executed by itself and such U.S. Loan Party.  This Agreement may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or Adobe PDF file and if so transmitted or signed, shall, subject to requirements of law, have the same force and effect as a manually signed original and shall be binding on the U.S. Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent.
Section 8.10      Additional U.S. Loan Parties It is understood and agreed that any Affiliate of Parent Borrower that is required by any Finance Document to execute a counterpart of this Agreement after the date hereof shall automatically become a U.S. Loan Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a U.S. Loan Party hereunder by executing an instrument of accession or joinder reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent and delivering the same to the Collateral Agent.  Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such instrument, such Affiliate shall take all such actions and deliver to the Collateral Agent all 

35

such documents and agreements as such Affiliate would have been required to deliver to the Collateral Agent on or prior to the date of this Agreement had such Affiliate been a party hereto on the date of this Agreement.  Such additional materials shall include, among other things, supplements to Schedules 1.01 and 4.01 hereto (which Schedules shall thereupon automatically be amended and supplemented to include all information contained in such supplements) such that, after giving effect to the joinder of such Affiliate, each of Schedules 1.01 and 4.01 hereto is true, complete and correct with respect to such Affiliate as of the effective date of such joinder.  The execution and delivery of any such instrument of accession or joinder, and the amendment and supplementation of the Schedules hereto as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, shall not require the consent of any other U.S. Loan Party hereunder or of any Secured Party other than the Collateral Agent.  The rights and obligations of each U.S. Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new U.S. Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.
Section 8.11      Termination Upon the Discharge of Finance Obligations, the Security Interests created hereunder shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall automatically revert to the U.S. Loan Parties.  In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to such termination of the Security Interests, the Collateral Agent may release any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of any other Secured Party; provided that the release of the Collateral shall be consistent with Section 9.10 and Section 10.01(y)(vii) of the Credit Agreement.  Upon any such termination of the Security Interests or release of Collateral, the Collateral Agent will, upon request by and at the reasonable expense of any U.S. Loan Party, execute and deliver to such U.S. Loan Party such documents as such U.S. Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interests or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.  Any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties.  The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as a result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted by this Section 8.11.  Upon any release of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.11, none of the Secured Parties shall have any continuing right or interest in such Collateral or the Proceeds thereof.
