- 53 -

payable, to be held as cash collateral in respect of Designated Borrower’s obligations for such Documentary Credits; provided that the Administrative Agent may apply any or all of such cash and cash collateral to the payment of any or all of such Designated Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Documentary Credits as such obligations become due and, pending such application, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) invest the same in an interest bearing account in the Administrative Agent’s name, for the ratable benefit of itself and the applicable Lenders, at such bank or financial institution as the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, select; provided further, that if such Designated Borrower is also a Guarantor, such termination will not affect such Designated Borrower’s obligations as a Guarantor under the Guarantee.

- 56 -

application if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Lender, as the case may be; (iv) fourth, in reduction of such Borrower’s obligation to pay any other unpaid Accommodations Outstanding which are due and owing; (v) fifth, in reduction of any other obligation of such Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and (vi) sixth, to Cash Collateralize the then Accommodations Outstanding in respect of all Documentary Credits made to such Borrower; and (vii) seventh, to such Borrower or such other Persons as may lawfully be entitled to or directed by such Borrower to receive the remainder.

		
	Section 2.11
	Computations of Interest and Fees

		
	(1)
	All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable pursuant to Section 3.05, and (i) if based on the ABR Rate, a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be; or (ii) if based on the Eurodollar Rate, on the basis of a year of 360 days.

		
	(2)
	All computations of Fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, taking into account the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are payable.

		
	(3)
	For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or Fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days comprising such calculation basis; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

		
	(4)
	If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents would obligate a Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Law or would result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, 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 Law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest 

- 57 -

at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Lender under the applicable Credit Document, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if a Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Loan Party paying the amount shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to any Borrower or Guarantor.  Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.11(4) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.
		
	(5)
	Each of the Loan Parties confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to each of the Facilities based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Section 2.11. The relevant Administrative Agent agrees that if requested in writing by the Borrowers it shall calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on any Accommodations Outstanding at any time and provide such information to the Borrowers promptly following such request; provided that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall not relieve the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, nor result in any liability to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Credit Documents, that the interest payable under the Credit Documents and the calculations thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Loan Parties, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle

		
	Section 2.12
	Security

		
	(1)
	In each case, subject to Permitted Exceptions, by the applicable dates specified below, the Borrowers shall provide, or cause to be provided by the Guarantors, in each case, to the Administrative Agent, for and on behalf of the Lenders, as continuing collateral security for the present and future indebtedness and liability of the Borrowers and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees, respectively, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the following security (the “Security”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, together with any relevant reasonably required power of attorney, registrations, filings and other

	(a)
	a Guarantee, which guarantees shall be reaffirmed as of the Effective Date pursuant to Section 23.01;

		
	(b)
	general security agreements (which, for greater certainty, shall not include a hypothec with respect to moveable property located in the Province of Québec) dated as of the Original Closing Date or thereafter if such Person became a Loan Party thereafter, and reaffirmed as of the Effective Date pursuant to Section 23.01, constituting a security interest in all personal property (or moveable property, as applicable) and assets of the Loan Parties (including all contract rights, inventory, accounts, general intangibles, Equity Securities, deposit accounts, trademarks, trade names, other intellectual property, equipment and proceeds of the foregoing), which security interest shall be of first priority, subject, if and to the extent applicable, to any Permitted Encumbrances (each being a “Security Agreement”), and subject to the grace periods specified in each Security Agreement and in connection with deposit accounts, Section 7.01(15)(c), with respect to items of Collateral that cannot be perfected by the filing of a PPSA or UCC financing statement; and

		
	(c)
	within 60 days following the acquisition of any Material Owned Real Property, debentures, mortgages, deeds of trust or deeds to secure debt (or immoveable hypothec, as applicable) constituting a charge on such real property (or immoveable property, as applicable) of the Loan Parties (as determined by the Administrative Agent), which charge shall be a first ranking and exclusive charge, subject, if and to the extent applicable, to any Permitted Encumbrances (each being a “Debenture”).

	Subject to Permitted Exceptions, Open Text will from time to time at its expense duly authorize, execute and deliver (or cause the applicable Loan Party to authorize, execute and deliver) to the Administrative Agent such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits granted or intended to be granted to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender or the Collateral Agent by the Credit Documents and of the rights and remedies therein granted to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender or the Collateral Agent, including the filing of financing statements or other documents under any Law with respect to the Encumbrances created thereby. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Credit Documents have been prepared on the basis of Law in effect on the Effective Date, and that changes to Law may require the execution and delivery of different forms of documentation, and accordingly the Administrative Agent shall have the right (acting reasonably) to require that the Credit Documents be amended, supplemented or replaced (and Open Text shall, or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to duly 

- 59 -

authorize, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any such amendment, supplement or replacement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Credit Documents) within 30 days of written request therefor (i) to reflect any change in Law, whether arising as a result of statutory amendments, court decisions or otherwise; (ii) to facilitate the creation and registration of appropriate forms of security in applicable jurisdictions; or (iii) to confer upon the Administrative Agent Encumbrances similar to the Encumbrances created or intended to be created by the Credit Documents.  Without limiting the generality of this Section 2.12(2), the Loan Parties agree that if any such actions shall be required under applicable law as a result of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement into the form of this Agreement on the Effective Date, they shall promptly, or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to promptly, duly authorize, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any such amendment, supplement or replacement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Credit Documents.
		
	(3)
	With respect to each Mortgaged Property that is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a “special flood hazard area” with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under Flood Insurance Laws, the applicable Loan Party (A) will maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, such flood insurance in such total amount as the Administrative Agent and Lenders may from time to time reasonably require to the extent customarily maintained by similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Insurance Laws and (B) promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender, will deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, including evidence of annual renewals of such insurance.

		
	(4)
	(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.12(1)(d) (including the time period set forth therein) or this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not enter into any Debenture in respect of any Material Owned Real Property acquired by any Borrower or any other Loan Party after the Closing Date until the Administrative Agent shall have received written confirmation from the Lenders that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance has been completed by the Lenders (such written confirmation not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed). If the Lenders have not informed the Administrative Agent and Open Text of any outstanding flood diligence requirements by the date that is forty (45) days after the date on which the Administrative Agent made available to the Lenders (which may be delivered electronically) the following documents in respect of such real property (which documents shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders promptly after receipt thereof): (i) a completed flood hazard determination from a third party vendor; (ii) if such Material 

- 60 -

Owned Real Property is located in a “special flood hazard area,” (A) a notification to the applicable Loan Party of that fact and (if applicable) notification to the applicable Loan Party flood insurance coverage is not available and (B) evidence of the receipt by the applicable Loan Party of such notice; and (iii) if such notice is required to be provided to the applicable Loan Party and flood insurance is available in the community in which such Material Owned Real Property is located, evidence of required flood insurance with respect to any such Mortgage, the Lenders will be deemed to have completed their flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance and to have consented to such Debenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12 or this Agreement, in respect of any Material Owned Real Property subject to Section 2.12(1)(d), the time period set forth in Section 2.12(1)(d) for delivery of any related Debenture shall be automatically extended to the date on which the Administrative Agent is permitted under this Section 2.12(4)(a) to enter into such Debenture.
(b) Open Text shall provide the Administrative Agent with a completed “Life-of- Loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency Standard Flood Hazard Determination with respect to each Mortgaged Property (together with a notice about special flood hazard area status and flood disaster assistance duly executed by the applicable Loan Party relating thereto) to the extent such flood-related documentation is required for compliance with applicable Law.

		
	Section 2.13
	Cash Collateral

		
	(1)
	Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Documentary Credit Lender, if, as of the Relevant Repayment Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, any Documentary Credit obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Accommodations Outstanding of all Documentary Credit obligations.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the Documentary Credit Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover 105% of all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.14 and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

		
	(2)
	All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent.  The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Documentary Credit Lender and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to create and agrees that the Administrative Agent may maintain, a first priority security interest (other than an Encumbrance of the type described in (i) clause (a) of the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances” arising solely by operation of law and for which payment 

- 61 -

is not yet due or (ii) clause (y) of the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances”) in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to this Section 2.13.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided (other than an Encumbrance of the type described in (i) clause (a) of the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances” arising solely by operation of law and for which payment is not yet due or (ii) clause (y) of the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances”) or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the applicable Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
		
	(3)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided hereunder in respect of Documentary Credits or Swing Line Advances shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Documentary Credit obligations or Swing Line Advances, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

		
	(4)
	Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 16.01(2)(f))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (k) or (l) or an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.13 may be otherwise applied in accordance with the terms hereof), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Documentary Credit Lender or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

		
	Section 2.14
	Defaulting Lenders

		
	(1)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

- 62 -

		
	(a)
	That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 17.01(5).

		
	(b)
	Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.01), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Documentary Credit Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the Documentary Credit Lender or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Documentary Credit or Swing Line Loan; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Borrowing in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Borrowings under this Agreement and to Cash Collateralize future Funding Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Documentary Credit Lender or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Documentary Credit Lender or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or Documentary Credit Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Borrowings or Documentary Credit Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article 5 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Borrowings of, and Documentary Credit Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Borrowings of, or Documentary Credit Borrowings owed 

- 63 -

to, that Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
		
	(c)
	That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fee hereunder for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the applicable Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to the Defaulting Lenders).

		
	(d)
	During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Documentary Credits or Swing Line Advances pursuant to Section 3.06, the ratable share of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that: (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists and the representations and warranties contained in Article 6 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date, all as though made on and as of such date except any representation and warranty which is stated to be made as of a certain date (and then as of such date); and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Documentary Credits and Swing Line Advances shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Advances of that Lender.  If the amount of the obligation of a non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Documentary Credits and Swing Line Advances is reallocated pursuant to this clause (d), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.08(1), Section 4.09(1) and Section 4.09(2) shall be adjusted in accordance such non-Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage.

		
	(2)
	If the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Documentary Credit Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Borrowings and funded 

- 64 -

and unfunded participations in Documentary Credits and Swing Line Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their ratable shares (without giving effect to Section 2.14(1)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE 3
REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY ADVANCES

		
	Section 3.01
	The Advances

The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender prompt notice of any Borrowing Notice received from each Borrower and of each applicable Lender’s ratable portion of any Accommodation.

		
	Section 3.02
	Procedure for Borrowing.

Each Borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be in a minimum amount of (i) U.S. $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of U.S. $100,000 in the case of Borrowings by way of LIBOR Advances or ABR Advances; and (ii) shall be made on the number of days prior notice specified in Schedule 5, given not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time), in the case of ABR Advances, and 12:00 p.m. (New York time), in all other cases, in each case by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of funds from the Lenders and fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower in accordance with Article 2.

		
	Section 3.03
	Conversions and Elections Regarding Advances

		
	(1)
	Each Advance shall initially be the Type of Advance specified in the applicable Borrowing Notice and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such Type of Advance (determined as provided in Section 3.05) until (i) in the case of a LIBOR 

- 65 -

Advance the end of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto as specified in the applicable Borrowing Notice, (ii) in the case of an ABR Advance, the date on which the relevant Type of Advance is repaid in full or is changed to another Type of Advance pursuant to and to the extent permitted by Section 3.03(2), or (iii) in the case of any Advance, it is converted to another Type of Advance pursuant to and to the extent permitted by Section 3.03(2).
		
	(2)
	The applicable Borrower may, in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, elect to (i) change any Advance (other than a Swing Line Advance) outstanding thereunder to another Type of Accommodation denominated in the same currency available thereunder in accordance with Section 3.03(3), (x) in the case of an ABR Advance, as of any Business Day, or (y) in the case of a LIBOR Advance, as of the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance; or (ii) continue any LIBOR Advance for a further Interest Period, beginning on the last day of the then current Interest Period, in accordance with Section 3.03(3).

		
	(3)
	Each election to change from one Type of Advance to another Type of Advance under the Revolving Credit Facility or to continue a LIBOR Advance for a further Interest Period shall be made on the number of days prior notice specified in Schedule 5 given, in each case, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice (an “Interest Rate Election Notice”) shall be given substantially in the form of Schedule 2 and shall be irrevocable and binding upon the applicable Borrower. If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver an Interest Rate Election Notice to the Administrative Agent for any LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section 3.03(3), such LIBOR Advance shall be converted (as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period) to and thereafter shall be outstanding as an ABR Advance in respect of the applicable Borrower. The Borrowers shall not select an Interest Period which conflicts with the definition of Interest Period in Section 1.01 or with the repayment requirements contained in Section 2.05.

		
	(4)
	Upon the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall not have the right to convert Advances into, or to continue, LIBOR Advances, and each LIBOR Advance shall convert to an ABR Advance at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

		
	Section 3.04
	Circumstances Requiring Floating Rate Pricing

		
	(1)
	If a Lender determines acting reasonably in good faith and notifies Open Text in writing and the Administrative Agent that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting financial markets inside or outside Canada, deposits of U.S. Dollars are unavailable to such Lender; (ii) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; (iii) the making or continuation of any LIBOR Advances has been made 

- 66 -

impracticable (x) by the occurrence of a contingency (other than a mere increase in rates payable by such Lender to fund the Advances or a decrease in the creditworthiness of such Lender) which adversely affects the funding of the Revolving Credit Facility at any interest rate computed on the basis of the Eurodollar Rate, or (y) by reason of a change since the date of this Agreement in any Law or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority which affects such Lender or any relevant financial market and which results in the Eurodollar Rate no longer representing the effective cost to such Lender of deposits in such market; or (iv) any change to any Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, has made it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain or to give effect to its obligations in respect of such Advances as contemplated hereby, then, 
		
	(a)
	the right of a Borrower to select LIBOR Advances, as the case may be, from such Lender shall be suspended until such Lender determines acting reasonably and in good faith that the circumstances causing the suspension no longer exist and such Lender so notifies the Administrative Agent;

		
	(b)
	if any affected LIBOR Advance is not yet outstanding, any applicable Borrowing Notice shall be suspended until such Lender acting reasonably and in good faith determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and such Lender so notifies the Administrative Agent; and

		
	(c)
	if any LIBOR Advance is already outstanding at any time when the right of the applicable Borrower to select LIBOR Advances is suspended, it and all other LIBOR Advances in the same Borrowing with respect to such Lender shall (subject to applicable Borrower having the right to select the relevant Type of Advance at such time) become an ABR Advance on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto (or on such earlier date as may be required to comply with any Law).

		
	(2)
	The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Open Text of the suspension of its right to request a LIBOR Advance from such Lender and of the termination of any such suspension. Upon notice from the Administrative Agent of the suspension of the right to request a LIBOR Advance from such Lender, Open Text may (i) either replace such Lender with a substitute Lender or Lenders, in which event such Lender shall execute and deliver an assignment and assumption agreement in favour of such substitute Lender or Lenders pursuant to Section 16.01(2)(e) in respect of the whole of its Commitments; or (ii) prepay all Accommodations Outstanding of such affected Lender and thereupon reduce such affected Lender’s Commitments to nil, all without affecting the Commitments of any other Lenders.

		
	(3)
	If, at any time, the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that (a) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.04(1)(ii) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (b) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.04(1)(ii) have not arisen but the UK Financial Conduct Authority (or any 

- 67 -

successor regulatory body), any other supervisor for 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 “LIBOR” shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans or as a benchmark reference rate for interest rates for loans, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time (any such rate, an “Alternate Rate of Interest”), and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such Alternate Rate of Interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 17.01, 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 notice of such Alternate Rate of Interest and a copy of such proposed amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. Until an Alternate Rate of Interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.04(3) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (b) of the first sentence of this Section 3.04(3), only to the extent the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (i) any request for a conversion to, or continuation of, LIBOR Advances shall be ineffective and (ii) any request for a LIBOR Advance shall be made as an ABR Advance in the amount specified therein.

		
	Section 3.05
	Interest on Advances

The applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to it, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is repaid in full, at the following rates per annum:
		
	(1)
	ABR Advances. If and so long as such Advance is an ABR Advance and subject to clause (3) below, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the ABR Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin, calculated daily and payable in arrears (i) on the first Business Day of each Financial Quarter in each Financial Year; and (ii) when such ABR Advance becomes due and payable in full pursuant to the provisions hereof.

		
	(2)
	LIBOR Advances. If and so long as such Advance is a LIBOR Advance and subject to clause (3) below, at a rate per annum equal, at all times during each Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance, to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin payable on the earliest of (i) if the Interest Period is longer than 3 months, every 3 months after the date of the relevant LIBOR Advance; (ii) on the last day of such Interest Period; and (iii) when such LIBOR Advance becomes due and payable in full pursuant to the provisions hereof.

- 68 -

		
	(3)
	Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to Law, the Borrowers shall pay interest on their respective obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Accommodation Outstanding to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (1) or (2) above, as applicable, and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, as applicable, and (ii) the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid, in the case of interest, and, in all other cases, on ABR Advances pursuant to clause (1) above.

		
	Section 3.06
	Swing Line Advances 

		
	(1)
	Each Swing Line Advance shall be in a minimum amount of U.S. $500,000 and in an integral multiple of U.S. $100,000, shall bear interest at the ABR Rate and shall be made upon notice given not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) by the applicable Revolving Credit Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swing Line Lender. Each notice of a Swing Line Advance shall be in substantially the form of Schedule 1, shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable Revolving Credit Borrower once given by it to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swing Line Lender, and shall specify (i) the date of the Swing Line Advance, (ii) the amount of the Swing Line Advance and (iii) the maturity of the Swing Line Advance (which maturity shall be no later than the seventh day after the requested date of such Swing Line Advance). Upon fulfilment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5, the applicable Swing Line Lender will, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, make such funds available to the applicable Revolving Credit Borrower in accordance with Article 2.

		
	(2)
	Each Swing Line Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, request on behalf of the applicable Revolving Credit Borrower (and such Revolving Credit Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), upon notice to the Administrative Agent by such  Swing Line Lender no later than 10 a.m. (New York time) on the applicable date, that each Revolving Credit Lender make an ABR Advance in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s pro rata share of the amount of Swing Line Advances made by such Swing Line Lender then outstanding. Such request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice for purposes hereof and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02(1) without regard solely to the minimum amounts specified therein but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (except that the applicable 

- 69 -

Revolving Credit Borrower shall not be deemed to have made any representations and warranties).
		
	(3)
	If for any reason any Swing Line Advance cannot be refinanced by a Borrowing as contemplated by Section 3.06(2), the request for ABR Advances, as the case may be, submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth in Section 3.06(2) shall be deemed to be a request by such Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Advance and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 3.06(2) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

		
	(4)
	If and to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made the amount of its pro rata share of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06(2), such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of the applicable Borrowing Notice delivered by the Swing Line Lender until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

		
	(5)
	Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make ABR Advances or to purchase and fund risk participations in a Swing Line Advance pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defence or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the applicable Revolving Credit Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make ABR Advances pursuant to this Section 3.06 is subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (except that the applicable Revolving Credit Borrower shall not be deemed to have made any representations or warranties). No funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Revolving Credit Borrower to repay Swing Line Advances, together with interest as provided herein.

- 73 -

Documentary Credit Lender, and (z) in the case of fraud in the underlying transaction between the Documentary Credit Borrower and the Beneficiary, the fraud is of such character as to make the demand for payment by the Beneficiary under the Documentary Credit a fraudulent one; or (v) the existence of a Default or Event of Default.
		
	(3)
	The Documentary Credit Lender shall not be responsible for (i) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Documentary Credit or the rights or benefits under it or proceeds of it, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (ii) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages by mail, telecopy or otherwise; (iii) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (iv) any loss or delay in the transmission of any document required in order to make a drawing; and (v) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Documentary Credit Lender, including the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Governmental Authority.

In connection with such collections, such U.S. Grantor may take (and, at the Administrative Agent’s direction upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, will take) such action as such U.S. Grantor or the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and 

- 98 -

Related Contracts; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such U.S. Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the Obligors under any Assigned Agreements or Instruments of the assignment of such Assigned Agreements and Instruments to the Administrative Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such U.S. Grantor thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such U.S. Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Assigned Agreements and Instruments to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such U.S. Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Assigned Agreements and Instruments, including those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any U.S. Grantor of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by such U.S. Grantor in respect of the Assigned Agreements and Instruments of such U.S. Grantor shall be deemed to be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such U.S. Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be deposited in the Collateral Account and either (A) released to such U.S. Grantor on the terms set forth in Section 5 of the Security and Pledge Agreement so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 14(b) of the Security and Pledge Agreement and (ii) upon notice from the Administrative Agent in connection with the enforcement of its rights and remedies under the Credit Documents, such U.S. Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Instrument, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon. No U.S. Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the Assigned Agreements or Instruments to any other indebtedness or obligations of the Obligor thereof.
		
	(e)
	Commercial Tort Claims.  Each U.S. Grantor will promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of any commercial tort claim of such U.S. Grantor that may arise after the date hereof with an anticipated recovery of at least $2,000,000 and will immediately execute or otherwise authenticate a supplement to the Security and Pledge Agreement, and otherwise take all action reasonably necessary to subject such commercial tort claim to the security interest created under such Security Document.

	any of the Credit Documents executed and delivered by any Loan Party shall cease to be in full force and effect in any material respect (taken as a whole) and such failure (i) relates to a material portion of the Collateral, and (ii) did not arise from the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take any action within its control (without limiting the Loan Parties’ obligations under Section 2.12(1), 7.01(1)(c) and 7.01(11)) and (iii) shall remain unremedied for 10 Business Days; or

	Section 8.02
	Remedies Upon Demand and Default

		
	(1)
	Upon a declaration that the Accommodations Outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.01, the Administrative Agent shall at the request of, or may with the consent of, the Majority Lenders, commence such legal action or proceedings as it, in its sole discretion, may deem expedient, including the commencement of enforcement proceedings under the Security Documents or any other security granted by Open Text or any other Loan Party to the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or the Lenders, all without any additional notice, presentation, demand, protest, notice of dishonour, entering into of possession of any of the Assets, or any other action or notice (except as required by Law), all of which the Loan Parties hereby expressly waive (to the extent enforceable under Law).

ARTICLE 9
YIELD PROTECTION

		
	Section 9.01
	Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBOR Advances

		
	(1)
	Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

		
	(a)
	impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender, including LIBOR funds or deposits;

		
	(b)
	subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Accommodations made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, except for (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 9.02 and (ii) the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender; or

		
	(c)
	impose on any Lender or the London applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Accommodations made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, or maintaining any Accommodation (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Accommodation), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of such Lender, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
		
	(2)
	Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the applicable Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense (excluding any loss, cost or expense arising from Taxes) incurred by it as a result of: 

		
	(a)
	any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Advance other than an ABR Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

- 111 -

		
	(b)
	any failure by the applicable Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Advance other than an ABR Advance on the date or in the amount notified by the applicable Borrower; or

		
	(c)
	any assignment of a LIBOR Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 9.03;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Advance or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate any Lender under this Section for any loss of anticipated profits in respect of any of the foregoing.  For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the applicable Borrower to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Advance made by it at the Eurodollar Rate excluding the impact of the last sentence of the “Eurodollar Rate” definition 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 LIBOR Advance was in fact so funded.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the applicable Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 9.01(2), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Advance made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Advance was in fact so funded.
		
	(3)
	Liquidity or Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s liquidity or capital or on the liquidity or capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Accommodations made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to liquidity or capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

		
	(4)
	Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (1), (2) or (3) of this Section (“Additional 

- 112 -

Compensation”), including a description of the event by reason of which it believes it is entitled to such compensation, and supplying reasonable supporting evidence and reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the applicable Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.  In the event the Lender subsequently recovers all or part of the Additional Compensation paid by the applicable Borrower, it shall promptly repay an equal amount to the applicable Borrower. The obligation to pay such Additional Compensation for subsequent periods will continue until the earlier of termination of the Accommodation or the Commitment affected by the Change in Law, change in capital or liquidity requirement or the lapse or cessation of the Change in Law giving rise to the initial Additional Compensation. A Lender shall make reasonable efforts to limit the incidence of any such Additional Compensation and seek recovery for the account of the applicable Borrower upon such Borrower’s reasonable request at  such Borrower’s expense, provided such Lender in its reasonable determination suffers no appreciable economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a Lender shall only be entitled to rely upon the provisions of this Section 9.01 if and for so long as it is generally making corresponding demands for similar amounts for similarly situated borrowers pursuant to provisions similar to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.01 in other loan documents to which such Lender is party.
		
	(5)
	Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, except that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the applicable Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore, unless the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, in which case the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 9.01 shall survive the payment in full of the other obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

		
	Section 9.02
	Taxes

		
	(1)
	Payments Subject to Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is required by Law to deduct or pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any 

- 113 -

other Credit Document, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased by that Loan Party when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required, (ii) the Loan Party shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under Law and (iii) the Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Law.
		
	(2)
	Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (1) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Law.

		
	(3)
	Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 15 days after written 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) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event the Lender subsequently recovers by obtaining a refund, credit or otherwise, all or part of the payment made under this Section paid by the applicable Borrower, it shall promptly repay an equal amount to the applicable Borrower. A Lender shall make reasonable efforts to limit the incidence of any payments under this Section and seek recovery for the account of the applicable Borrower upon such Borrower’s reasonable request at such Borrower’s expense, provided such Lender in its reasonable determination suffers no appreciable economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage and further provided that nothing in this Section shall require a Lender to disclose any Tax returns of such Lender or any other Tax information which such Lender deems to be confidential.

		
	(4)
	Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

- 114 -

		
	(5)
	Status of Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall, at the request of the applicable Borrower, deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
		
	(a)
	any Lender that is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

		
	(b)
	any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower 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 Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent), but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so, whichever of the following is applicable:

		
	(i)
	executed originals of, as appropriate, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

		
	(ii)
	executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form), or

		
	(iii)
	to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;

- 115 -

		
	(iv)
	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 the Borrower 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) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms); and

		
	(v)
	executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

		
	(6)
	If a payment made by any Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if any Lender fails to comply with applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or as reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including documentation prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(c)(i) of the Code or such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent for such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA), to determine the amount to withhold or deduct from such payment and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA. 

		
	(7)
	For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Revolving Credit Facility as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).  This section 9.02(7) shall not affect the FATCA status of any other borrowing or facility under this Agreement.

		
	(8)
	Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 16.01(8) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable 

- 116 -

to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (8).
All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 9.02 shall survive the payment in full of the other obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

		
	Section 9.03
	Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders

		
	(1)
	Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 9.01, or requires the applicable Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 9.02, then such Lender shall (at the request of the applicable Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Accommodations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender (with the prior consent of the applicable Borrower), such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.01 or 9.02, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

		
	(2)
	Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 9.01, if the applicable Borrower is required to pay any material additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 9.02, if any Lender’s obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 9.04, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Accommodations hereunder, then the applicable Borrower may either, at its sole expense and effort, upon 10 days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent %5. repay all outstanding amounts due to such affected  Lender (or such portion which has not been acquired pursuant to clause (ii) below) and thereupon such Commitment of the affected Lender shall be permanently cancelled and the aggregate Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the same amount and the Commitment of each of the other Lenders shall remain the same; or %5. require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to 

- 117 -

the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 16.01), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
		
	(a)
	The applicable Borrower pays the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 16.01(2)(e);

		
	(b)
	the assigning Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Accommodations Outstanding and participations in disbursements under Documentary Credits, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any breakage costs and amounts required to be paid under this Agreement as a result of prepayment to a Lender) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

		
	(c)
	in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 9.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 9.02, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

		
	(d)
	such assignment does not conflict with Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

		
	Section 9.04
	Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates

		
	(1)
	If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Accommodations, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any particular rate (other than any applicable default rate to the extent the same is not chargeable under Law) or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits as U.S. Dollars in the London interbank market (other than any applicable default rate to the extent the same is not chargeable under Law), then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful, convert any Accommodations, or take any necessary steps with respect to any Documentary Credit in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. Upon any such prepayment or 

- 118 -

conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. If any Lender determines, acting reasonably, that any applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender to hold or benefit from an Encumbrance over real property pursuant to any Law of the United States or any state thereof, such Lender may notify the Administrative Agent and disclaim any benefit of such security interest to the extent of such illegality; provided, that such determination or disclaimer shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such Encumbrance for the benefit of any other Lender.
		
	(2)
	If the Majority Lenders or Administrative Agent determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Advance or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) U.S. Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Advance, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the applicable Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority 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 LIBOR Advances or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Advances in the amount specified therein.

ARTICLE 10
RIGHT OF SETOFF

		
	Section 10.01
	Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates hereby authorized at any time and from time to time 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 Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the applicable Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such Obligations of the Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts 

- 119 -

so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Documentary Credit Lender, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender, each Documentary Credit Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that such Lender, such Documentary Credit Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. If any Affiliate of a Lender exercises any rights under this Section 10.01, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with Section 11.01 as if the benefit had been received by the Lender of which it is an Affiliate.

ARTICLE 11
SHARING OF PAYMENTS BY LENDERS

		
	Section 11.01
	Sharing of Payments by Lenders

		
	(1)
	If any Lender, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains any payment or other reduction that might result in such Lender receiving payment or other reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Accommodations and accrued interest thereon or other obligations under a Facility greater than its pro rata share of such Facility as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such payment or other reduction shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Accommodations Outstanding and such other obligations of the other Lenders under such Facility, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Accommodations Outstanding and other amounts owing them under such Facility, provided that:

		
	(a)
	if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; 

		
	(b)
	the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the 

- 120 -

express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Accommodations or participations in disbursements under Documentary Credits to any assignee or participant, other than to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply); and
		
	(c)
	the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (w) any payment made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the applicable Borrower to such Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Credit Documents, (x) any payment made in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Encumbrance or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the applicable Borrower’s Obligations under or in connection with the Credit Documents, (y) any reduction arising from an amount owing to a Loan Party upon the termination of derivatives entered into between the Loan Party and such Lender, or (z) any payment to which such Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by such Lender.

		
	(2)
	The Loan Parties consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim and similar rights of Lenders with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE 12
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S CLAWBACK

		
	Section 12.01
	Administrative Agent’s Claw back

		
	(1)
	Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any advance of funds that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable advance available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative 

- 121 -

Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Accommodation included in such advance. If the Lender does not do so forthwith, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the advance in question. Any payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the applicable Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
		
	(2)
	Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the amount due to the Lenders. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation.

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Accommodation that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Accommodation or the issuance of such Documentary Credit. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

		
	Section 13.05
	Indemnification of Agents

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of 

- 125 -

any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or wilful misconduct for purposes of this Section 13.05; and provided, further, that to the extent any Documentary Credit Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Section 13.05 solely in its capacity and role as Documentary Credit Lender, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to indemnify such Documentary Credit Lender in accordance with this Section 13.05.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 13.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party to such investigation, litigation or proceeding.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower.  The undertaking in this Section 13.05 shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Accommodations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

		
	Section 13.06
	Delegation of Duties

The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-Administrative Agent or sub-Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The provisions of this Article and other provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall apply to any such sub-Administrative Agent or sub-Collateral Agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-Administrative Agent or sub-Collateral Agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-Administrative Agent or sub-Collateral Agent that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

	Section 13.07
	Replacement of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent

		
	(1)
	The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with the prior consent of Open Text (except during the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default, during which no consent shall be required), to appoint a successor, which, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall be a Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment and having an office in Toronto, Ontario or an Affiliate of any such Lender with an office in Toronto.

		
	(2)
	If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, may, but shall not be required to, with the prior consent of Open Text (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, respectively, meeting the qualifications specified in Section 13.07(1), provided that if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall notify Open Text and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, respectively, is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or the successor Collateral Agent, respectively, as provided for above in the preceding paragraph.

Upon a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, as applicable, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Administrative Agent or the former Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the former Administrative Agent or the former Collateral Agent, respectively, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in the preceding paragraph). 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 between the Borrowers and such successor. After the termination of the service of the former Administrative Agent or former 

- 127 -

Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article 13 and of Article 15 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such former Administrative Agent or former Collateral Agent, its sub-Administrative Agents or sub-Collateral Agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively.

		
	Section 13.08
	Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other 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 Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other 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 or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

		
	Section 13.09
	Collective Action of the Lenders

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Law, any collateral security and the remedies provided under the Credit Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders (including the Cash Management Banks and Hedge Lenders) collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any collateral security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Credit Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder but that any such action shall be taken only by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with the prior written agreement of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Credit Documents). Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action (or direct the Collateral Agent to take such action) on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders.

		
	Section 13.10
	No Other Duties, etc.

- 128 -

Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder.

		
	Section 13.11
	Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Borrowing or Documentary Credit obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and the Documentary Credit Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08, 2.09, 3.05 and 15.01.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Documentary Credit Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations hereunder or the rights of any Lender or any Documentary Credit Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any Documentary Credit Lender in any such proceeding.

	(4)
	Limitations upon Assignee Rights. Except in the case of an assignment made during the continuance of an Event of Default, no assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 9.01 and 9.02 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the Commitments and Accommodations assigned to such assignee, unless such assignment is made with each applicable Borrower’s prior written consent.

		
	(5)
	Participations. Any 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, a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party) (each, a 

- 139 -

“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Accommodations Outstanding owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any payment by a Participant to a Lender in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by any Borrower or a new Accommodation to any Borrower.
Subject to paragraph (7) of this Section, and to the extent permitted by Law, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 9 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Article 11 as though it were a Lender.
		
	(6)
	Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 9.01 and 9.02, and in respect of any breakage costs payable hereunder, than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with each applicable Borrower’s prior written consent.

		
	(7)
	Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

		
	(8)
	Participant Register. The applicable Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of each Borrower (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant, and the amount of each such Participant’s interest in such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person 

- 140 -

whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable rights and/or obligations of such Lender under this Agreement.  No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Article 1. Purpose.
The purpose of the 2018 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to increase shareholder value of MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (“MidSouth”) and to advance the interests of it and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) by furnishing a variety of economic incentives (the “Incentives”) designed to attract, retain and motivate key employees, officers and directors and to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such persons and shareholders.  Incentives may consist of opportunities to purchase or receive shares of MidSouth common stock (the “Common Stock”), monetary payments, or both, on terms determined under the Plan.  As used in the Plan, the term “subsidiary” means any corporation of which MidSouth owns (directly or indirectly) within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock (including any corporation that becomes a subsidiary after the adoption of the Plan).

Article 2.     Administration.

2.1    Composition.  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of MidSouth’s Board of Directors (“Board”).  The Committee shall consist of not fewer than three members of the Board, each of whom shall qualify as a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”).  Each member of the Committee shall also be independent within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

2.2    Authority.  The Committee shall have plenary authority to award Incentives within Plan limits, to interpret the Plan, to establish any rules or regulations relating to the Plan that it determines to be appropriate, to enter into agreements with participants as to the terms of the Incentives (“Incentive Agreements”), to accelerate the exercisability or settlement of an Incentive, and to make any other determination that it believes necessary or advisable for the Plan’s proper administration.  Its decisions in matters relating to the Plan shall be final and conclusive on the Company, the participants and all other persons.  The Committee may delegate its authority hereunder to the extent provided elsewhere herein.  Subject to Section 5.3(f), only the Board shall have the authority to award Incentives under the Plan to directors of MidSouth who are not also full-time employees of the Company (“Outside Directors”).  Whenever the Committee is referenced in this Plan, the Committee shall refer to the Board with respect to Incentives awarded or to be awarded to Outside Directors.

Article 3.     Eligible Participants.
Key employees and directors of the Company (including officers and directors who are full-time employees and Outside Directors) shall become eligible to receive Incentives under the Plan when designated by the Committee. Employees and Outside Directors may be designated individually or by groups or categories, as the Committee deems appropriate.  With respect to 

participants not subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act nor Outside Directors, the Committee may delegate its authority to designate participants, to determine the size and type of Incentives to be received by those participants and to determine or modify performance objectives for those participants.

Article 4.     Types of Incentives.
Incentives may be granted under the Plan in any of the following forms, either individually or in combination: (a) incentive stock options (“ISO”) and non-qualified stock options (“NQO” and together with ISOs, “Options”); (b) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); (c) restricted stock; (d) performance shares; (e) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (f) performance units; (g) cash-based awards and (h) other stock-based awards.

Article 5.     Shares Subject to the Plan.

5.1    Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Article 11.5, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for Incentives under the Plan shall be 560,000 shares of Common Stock, and the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of ISOs granted under the Plan may not exceed 560,000.  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the full number of shares of Common Stock covered by Incentives granted under the Plan. This reduction shall include the full number of shares of Common Stock covered by an Incentive Agreement, regardless of whether (i) any shares of Common Stock are tendered in payment of the exercise or strike or purchase price of any Option or SAR or other Incentive, (ii) any such Option, SAR, or other Incentive covering shares of Common Stock under the Plan ultimately is settled in cash or by delivery of shares of Common Stock (either by share netting, an attestation process, or actual delivery), (iii) shares of Common Stock were used to satisfy any tax withholdings, or (iv) shares of Common Stock were repurchased by the Company with Option or SAR proceeds. If, however, any Incentive granted under this Plan terminates, expires, is forfeited because any performance or time-based vesting requirements were not satisfied, or lapses for any reason, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Incentive shall again be available for a grant of an Incentive Award under the Plan.

5.2    Type of Common Stock.  Common Stock issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or previously-issued shares now held as treasury shares.

5.3    Annual Award Limits.  The following limits (twice that limit for awards that are granted to any one Participant in any one Plan Year in which the Participant first commences employment or service) (each an “Annual Award Limit” and, collectively, “Annual Award Limits”) shall apply to grants of Awards under this Plan (based on the highest level of achievement resulting in the maximum payout):

2

		
	(a)
	Options: The maximum aggregate number of Shares subject to Options granted in any one Plan Year to any one Participant shall be two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) Shares.

		
	(b)
	SARs: The maximum aggregate number of Shares subject to Stock Appreciation Rights granted in any one Plan Year to any one Participant shall be two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) Shares.

		
	(c)
	Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units: The maximum aggregate grant with respect to Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units in any one Plan Year to any one Participant shall be two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) Shares.

		
	(d)
	Performance Units or Performance Shares: The maximum aggregate number of Performance Units or Performance Shares that a Participant may be awarded in any one Plan Year shall be two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) Shares. Up to two and one-half Shares (or the cash value of two and one-half Shares) may be issued with respect to a Performance Unit or Performance Share, depending on the level of performance.

		
	(e)
	Cash-Based Awards or other stock-based awards: The maximum aggregate amount awarded with respect to Cash-Based Awards to any one Participant in any one Plan Year may not exceed one million ($1,000,000) dollars determined as of the date of grant.  The maximum aggregate amount awarded with respect to other Stock-Based Awards to any one Participant in any one Plan Year may not exceed two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) Shares.

		
	(f)
	Outside Directors. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or in any policy of the Company regarding compensation payable to an Outside Director, the sum of the grant date fair value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of all Incentives payable in shares of Common Stock that may be granted under the Plan to an individual as compensation for services as an Outside Director during any fiscal year of the Company shall not exceed $100,000. For avoidance of doubt, compensation shall count towards this limit for the fiscal year in which it was granted, and not when later earned or distributed. 

5.4    Minimum Vesting Period.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, no Incentive may vest sooner than one (1) year from the date of grant, and no Incentive award or grant document may waive or supersede this minimum; provided, however, that the 

3

foregoing minimum vesting period shall not apply to Incentives involving an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock not in excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered in connection with Incentives (as set forth in this Article 5).  

5.5    Section 162(m) Transition Rule  If and to the extent that the Committee grants an Incentive that is intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or grants an Incentive in substitution for any such Incentive, then the Incentive shall be (i) subject to such terms and conditions as are required for the Incentive to continue to qualify under the transition rule for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, as the Committee shall determine, (ii) the Incentive will be administered by a sub-committee of the Committee which is comprised of two or more members that qualify as “outside directors” under Section 162(m) of the Code prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and (iii) none of the provisions of the Plan shall apply to such Incentive to the extent such provisions would result in the Incentive no longer qualifying under the transition rule for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Article 6.     Stock Options.
A stock option is a right to purchase shares of Common Stock from MidSouth.  Stock options granted under this Plan may be ISOs or NQOs.  Any option that is designated as a NQO shall not be treated as an ISO.  Each stock option granted by the Committee under this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

6.1    Price. The exercise price per share shall be determined by the Committee, subject to adjustment under Article 11.5; provided that in no event shall the option price be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

6.2    Number. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the option shall be determined by the Committee, subject to adjustment under Article 11.5.

6.3    Duration and Time for Exercise.  The term and exercisability of each stock option shall be determined by the Committee, which may also accelerate the exercisability of any stock option.

6.4    Repurchase. Upon approval of the Committee, unless prohibited by Section 6.7 below, MidSouth may repurchase a previously granted stock option from a participant before it has been exercised by payment to the participant of the amount per share by which the Fair Market Value (as defined in Article 13) of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of purchase exceeds the exercise price.

4

6.5    Manner of Exercise.  A stock option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written notice to MidSouth specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and accompanied by the full purchase price for such shares in United States dollars.  The price may be paid (a) by cash, uncertified or certified check or bank draft, (b) by delivery of shares of Common Stock held by the optionee in payment of all or any part of the option price, which shares shall be valued for this purpose at the Fair Market Value on the date such option is exercised, (c) by delivering a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker approved by MidSouth (with a copy to MidSouth) to promptly deliver to MidSouth the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price, (d) by means of a “net exercise” procedure pursuant to which shares of Common Stock may be withheld from delivery under the stock option or (e) in such other manner as may be authorized from time to time by the Committee.  In the case of delivery of an uncertified check upon exercise of a stock option, no shares shall be issued until the check has been paid in full.  Prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of a stock option, a participant shall have no rights as a shareholder.

6.6    Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the following additional provisions shall apply to the grant of stock options that are intended to qualify as ISOs (as is defined in Section 422 of the Code):
		
	(a)
	Any ISO agreement authorized under the Plan shall contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable, but shall in all events be consistent with and contain or be deemed to contain all provisions required in order to qualify the options as ISOs.

		
	(b)
	All ISOs must be granted within ten years from the date on which this Plan was adopted by the Board originally.

		
	(c)
	Unless sooner exercised, all ISOs shall expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.

		
	(d)
	The option price for ISOs shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of grant.

		
	(e)
	No ISO shall be granted to any participant who, at the time such option is granted, would own (within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the employer corporation or of its parent or subsidiary corporation unless the option price is not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of grant and, unless sooner exercised, such options expire no later than five years after the date of grant.

5

		
	(f)
	The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined with respect to each ISO as of the time such ISO is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which ISO are exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar year (under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000.  To the extent this $100,000 limitation is exceeded, the options that relate to the excess shall be treated as NQOs.

6.7    Repricing; Cancellation and Re-Grant of Incentives.  Neither the Board nor any Committee shall have the authority to: (i) reprice any outstanding Incentive under the Plan, (ii) provide for the exchange of an Option, SAR or other purchase right granted under the Plan for cash or any other Incentive when the exercise price or strike or purchase price of such Option.  Stock Appreciation Right or purchase right, respectively, is greater than or equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock or (iii) cancel and re-grant any outstanding Incentive under the Plan in a manner that would constitute a repricing of such Incentive under applicable accounting rules, in each case unless the stockholders of the MidSouth have approved such an action within twelve (12) months prior to such an event; provided, however, that this provision shall not prevent cancellations of Incentives upon expiration or termination of such Incentives and the return of the underlying shares of Common Stock to the Plan for future issuance pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.

6.8    No Dividends on Stock Options.  No dividends or dividend equivalents may be granted or paid with respect to any stock options granted under the Plan.

Article 7.     Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

7.1    Grant of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.  The Committee may award shares of restricted stock and/or RSUs as it determines pursuant to Article 3.  An award may be subject to the attainment of specified performance goals or targets, restrictions on transfer, forfeitability provisions and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, subject to the Plan.

7.2    The Restricted Period.  Subject to Section 5.4, at the time an award of restricted stock is made, the Committee shall establish a period of time during which the transfer of the shares shall be restricted (the “Restricted Period”).  Each award of restricted stock may have a different Restricted Period.  

7.3    Escrow.  The participant receiving restricted stock and/or RSUs shall enter into an Incentive Agreement with MidSouth setting forth the conditions of the grant. Shares of restricted stock will be registered in the name of the participant via the Direct Registration System (DRS), which is a form of “book-entry” ownership, with MidSouth’s transfer agent. For the Restricted Period, the shares shall have an accompanying notation or shall otherwise be accompanied by a legend in substantially the following form:

6

“The transferability of these shares registered in the Direct Registration System or represented by this certificate are subject to the terms (including conditions of forfeiture) of the MidSouth Bancorp 2018 Long-term Incentive Plan and an agreement entered into between the registered owner and MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. thereunder.  Copies of the Plan and agreement are on file and available for inspection at the principal office of the Company.

7.4    Dividends on Restricted Stock and RSUs.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, dividends may accrue with respect to unvested Restricted Stock and RSUs, but will not be paid or issued until such Restricted Stock or RSU is fully vested and the shares of Common Stock are issued and such shares of Restricted Stock are no longer subject to any vesting requirements or repurchase rights on behalf of MidSouth. In such case, the dividends may be deemed reinvested in additional unvested Restricted Stock or RSUs which remain subject to the same Restricted Period to which the unvested Restricted Stock or RSUs to which the dividends related or accumulated and paid in cash if and at the same time as the Restricted Period lapses for the unvested Restricted Stock or RSUs to which the dividends related. For the avoidance of doubt, dividend payouts are prohibited on unvested Restricted Stock and RSU Incentives.

7.5    Forfeiture.  If any shares of restricted stock and/or RSUs are forfeited under the Incentive Agreement (including any additional accrued shares that may result from the reinvestment of cash and stock dividends, if so provided in the Incentive Agreement), such forfeited shares shall be canceled.  The participants shall have the same rights and privileges, and be subject to the same forfeiture provisions, with respect to any additional shares received pursuant to Article 11.5 due to a recapitalization, merger or other change in capitalization.

7.6    Expiration of Restricted Period.  Upon the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee or at such earlier time as provided for in Article 7.2 and in the Incentive Agreement, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock and/or RSUs shall lapse and the restriction will be removed and   the number of shares of restricted stock and/or RSU with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions and legends other than those required by law, to the participant or the participant’s estate, as the case may be. 

7.7    Rights as a Shareholder.  Subject to the Plan and Section 7.4, each participant receiving restricted stock shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such stock during any period in which such stock is subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation, the right to vote such stock. Subject to the Plan and Section 7.4, no participant shall, as a result of receiving a grant of RSUs, have any rights as a stockholder until and then only to the extent the RSUs are settled in shares of Common Stock, unless the Incentive Agreement specifically provides otherwise.

7

Article 8.     Stock Appreciation Rights.
A SAR is a right to receive, without payment to MidSouth, a number of shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination thereof, the amount of which is determined pursuant to the formula set forth in Article 8.4.  A SAR may be granted with respect to any stock option granted under the Plan concurrently with the grant of such option (as to all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to the option) or alone without reference to any related option.  Each SAR granted by the Committee under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

8.1    Number.  The SAR shall relate to such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be determined by the Committee, subject to Article 5.1 and subject to adjustment as provided in Article 11.5.  In the case of a SAR granted with respect to a stock option, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the SAR pertains shall be reduced in the same proportion that the holder of the option exercises the related stock option.

8.2    Duration and Time for Exercise.  The term and exercisability of each SAR shall be determined by the Committee.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Incentive Agreement, each SAR issued in connection with a stock option shall become exercisable at the same time or times, to the same extent and upon the same conditions as the related stock option.  No participant may be granted SARs with respect to an ISO (under this plan or any other plan of the Company) which are exercisable for the first time by the participant during any calendar year for more than $100,000; if the limitation is exceeded, the options that relate to the excess shall be treated as NQOs.  The Committee may in its discretion accelerate the exercisability of any SAR at any time.

8.3    Exercise.  A SAR may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written notice to MidSouth, specifying the number of SARs that the holder wishes to exercise. MidSouth shall, within 30 days of receipt of notice of exercise, deliver to the exercising holder certificates for the shares of Common Stock or shall cause such number of shares of Common Stock to be registered in the name of the participant via the DRS with MidSouth’s transfer agent, or shall deliver cash, or both, as determined by the Committee, to which the holder is entitled pursuant to Article 8.4.

8.4    Payment.  Subject to the right of the Committee to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the exercise of an SAR shall be determined by dividing:
		
	(a)
	the number of shares as to which the SAR is exercised multiplied by the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the SAR on the Exercise Date exceeds (1) in the case of a SAR related to a stock option, the purchase price of the shares under the option 

8

or (2) in the case of a SAR granted alone, without reference to a related stock option, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, which shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, subject to adjustment under Article 11.5 ); by
		
	(b)
	the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

In lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of a SAR, the Committee may elect to pay the holder of the SAR cash equal to the Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date of any or all of the shares that otherwise would be issuable.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of a SAR; instead, the holder of a SAR shall be entitled to receive a cash adjustment equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date or to purchase the portion necessary to make a whole share at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, no dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid or granted with respect to any SARs granted under the Plan.

8.5    Stockholder Rights.  No participant shall, as a result of receiving a SAR, have any rights as a stockholder unless and until the date the SAR is exercised and then only to the extent that the SAR is settled by the issuance of shares of Common Stock.

Article 9.     Performance Shares and Performance Units.
A performance share or performance unit consists of an award that may be paid in shares of Common Stock or in cash, as described below. Subject to Section 5.4, the award of performance shares and performance units shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate.

9.1    Performance Objectives.  Each performance share and performance unit will be subject to performance objectives for MidSouth or one of its subsidiaries, divisions or departments to be achieved by the end of a specified period.  The Committee shall set performance goals and objectives in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and/or number of performance units that will be paid out to the participant.  Examples of such performance objectives are provided in Article 11.12 except that any Incentives intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” under the transition rule for Section 162(m) of the Code must be based on one or more of the performance objectives set forth therein.  The number of performance shares and/or performance units awarded shall be determined by the Committee as described in this Section 9.1 and may be subject to such terms and conditions as it shall determine.  If the performance objectives are achieved, each participant will be paid (a) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of performance shares initially granted to him or her; (b) a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such number of shares of Common Stock on the date the performance objectives are met or such other date as may be provided by the Committee or (c) a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash, as may be provided by the 

9

Committee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the Incentive Agreement, the Committee may in its discretion declare the performance objectives achieved or waived.  To the extent a performance share or performance unit is intended to qualify as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code transition rule, it must meet the additional requirements imposed thereby. With respect to any Incentive that is intended to require the satisfaction of a performance objective, the Committee shall interpret the Plan, and such Incentive shall not be paid until the Committee shall first have certified in writing that the performance objective(s) have been satisfied. All decisions, determinations, interpretations and actions taken by the Committee regarding the Plan and regarding the achievement of performance objectives shall be conclusive and binding on all parties concerned.  The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Corporation and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select.

9.2    Not a Shareholder.  Except as set forth in Section 9.3, the award of performance shares and performance units to a participant shall not create any rights in such participant as a shareholder of MidSouth, until the payment of shares of Common Stock with respect to an award, at which time such stock shall be considered issued and outstanding.

9.3    Dividend Equivalents.  A performance share and performance unit award may only be granted in conjunction with dividend equivalent payment rights or other such rights.  Dividend equivalent payments may only be accumulated and made to the participant at the end of the specified performance period provided such performance objectives and other terms and conditions have been satisfied or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional performance shares or performance units at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of payment of the dividend or issuance of the right and subject to the same performance and other terms and conditions as the performance shares or performance units to which the dividends related. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, dividend equivalents may accrue with respect to unvested performance shares and performance unit awards, but will not be paid or issued until such performance shares or performance unit awards are fully vested and the performance shares or performance units are issued and such performance shares or performance units are no longer subject to any vesting requirements or repurchase rights on behalf of the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, dividend equivalent payouts are prohibited on unvested performance shares or performance units.

Article 10.     Cash-Based Awards; Other Stock-Based Awards.

10.1    Cash-Based Awards  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Cash-Based Awards in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee may determine. Subject to Section 5.4, the Committee may grant a Cash-Based Award with a period that covers such number of calendar or fiscal years as the Committee 

10

shall determine and set forth in the Award Agreement.  A Cash-Based Award may be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture conditions as the Committee may impose, which conditions may lapse at such times or upon satisfaction of such terms and achievement of such objectives as the Committee shall determine and set forth in the Incentive Agreement. A Cash-Based Award shall become payable no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the taxable year of the Participant, or the fiscal year of the Company, in which the Participant’s rights under such Cash-Based Award are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

10.2    Other Stock-Based Awards  The Committee is authorized to grant such other stock-based awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, shares of Common Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such other stock-based awards. Except as provided by the Committee, shares delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 10.2 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for by such methods and in such forms, including cash, shares of Common Stock, outstanding Incentives or other property, as the Committee shall determine, provided, however, that the purchase price of shares subject to an other-stock-based award in the nature of purchase rights must be no less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant of the award.  Subject to the prohibition against repricings and Section 5.4, the Committee may grant shares of Common Stock as bonus shares or in lieu of any cash otherwise payable under bonuses.

Article 11.     General.

11.1    Duration.  Subject to Article 11.10, the Plan shall remain in effect until all Incentives granted under the Plan have either been satisfied by the issuance of shares of Common Stock or the payment of cash or been terminated under the terms of the Plan and all restrictions imposed on shares of Common Stock in connection with their issuance under the Plan have lapsed.

11.2    Transferability of Incentives.  No Incentives granted under the Plan may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution (or in the case of Restricted Stock, to the Company) or pursuant to a domestic relations court order, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable.
Incentives may be exercised during the lifetime of a participant only by the participant, by the participant’s guardian or legal representative or by a permitted transferee as provided below.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of an Incentive, or levy of attachment or similar process upon the Incentive not specifically permitted herein, shall be null and void and without effect.

11

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent provided in the Incentive Agreement, Incentives (other than ISOs and corresponding Incentives), may be transferred, without consideration, to a Permitted Transferee. For this purpose, a “Permitted Transferee” in respect of any Participant means any member of the Immediate Family of such Participant, any trust of which all of the primary beneficiaries are such Participant and/or members of his or her Immediate Family, or any partnership (including limited liability companies and similar entities) of which all of the partners or members are such Participant and/or members of his or her Immediate Family; and the “Immediate Family” of a Participant means the Participant’s spouse, any person sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, siblings, grandparents, nieces and nephews. Such Incentive may be exercised by such transferee in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Agreement. If so determined by the Committee, a Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Participant, and to receive any distribution with respect to any Incentive upon the death of the Participant. A transferee, beneficiary, guardian, legal representative or other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan and any applicable Incentive Agreement, except to the extent the Plan and Incentive Agreement otherwise provide with respect to such persons, and to any additional restrictions or limitations deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

11.3    Effect of Termination of Employment or Death.  If an employee participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Outside Director for any reason, including death, disability, early retirement or normal retirement, any Incentives may be exercised, shall vest or shall expire at such times as may be determined by the Committee in the Incentive Agreement.

11.4    Additional Condition.  Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding:  (a) MidSouth may, if it determines it necessary or desirable for any reason, at the time of award of any Incentive or the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Incentive, require the recipient, as a condition to the receipt thereof or to the receipt of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant thereto, to deliver to MidSouth a written representation of present intention to acquire the Incentive or the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant thereto for his own account for investment and not for distribution; and (b) if at any time MidSouth further determines, in its sole discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification (or any updating of any such document) of any Incentive or the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant thereto is necessary on any securities exchange or under any federal or state securities or blue sky law, or that the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with the award of any Incentive, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto, or the removal of any restrictions imposed on such shares, such Incentive shall not be awarded or such shares of Common Stock shall not be issued or such restrictions shall not be removed, as the case may be, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to MidSouth.

12

11.5    Adjustment.  In the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization of MidSouth with any other corporation or corporations, there shall be substituted for each of the shares of Common Stock then subject to the Plan and outstanding Incentives, including shares subject to restrictions, options, or achievement of performance share objectives, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities to which the holders of the shares of Common Stock will be entitled pursuant to the transaction.  In the event of any recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares or other change in the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the Plan, including shares subject to outstanding Incentives, shall be adjusted in proportion to the change in outstanding shares of Common Stock.  In the event of any such adjustments, the purchase price of any option, the performance objectives of any Incentive, and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Incentive shall be adjusted as and to the extent appropriate, in the reasonable discretion of the Committee, to provide participants with the same relative rights before and after such adjustment.

11.6    Incentive Agreements.  The terms of each Incentive shall be stated in an electronic or written agreement approved by the Committee.

11.7    Withholding.  At any time that a participant is required to pay to the Company an amount that is the minimum (that will not result in adverse financial accounting consequences) required to be withheld under the applicable income and employment tax laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock or payment of cash under the Plan or upon the lapse of restrictions on shares of restricted stock, the participant may, subject to the Committee’s right of disapproval, satisfy this obligation in whole or in part by electing (the “Election”) to have the Company withhold from the distribution shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld.  The value of the shares withheld shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld shall be determined (the “Tax Date”).
Each Election must be made prior to the Tax Date.  The Committee may disapprove of any Election or may suspend or terminate the right to make Elections.  If a participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to shares of restricted stock, an Election is not permitted to be made with respect to such shares of restricted stock.
A participant may also satisfy his or her total tax liability related to an Incentive by delivering shares of Common Stock that are held by the participant.  The value of the shares delivered shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Tax Date.
The participant will be responsible to pay to the Company in cash, or have withheld from any cash payments, any amounts to be withheld under applicable income and employment tax laws in connection with an Incentive to the extent not paid as described above.

13

11.8    No Continued Employment.  No participant shall have any right, because of his or her participation, to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any period of time or to any right to continue his or her present or any other rate of compensation.

11.9    Deferral Permitted.  Payment of cash or distribution of any shares of Common Stock to which a participant is entitled under any Incentive shall be made as provided in the Incentive Agreement.  Payment (other than pursuant to an option or SAR) may be deferred at the option of the participant if provided in the Incentive Agreement and to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

11.10    Extension of Term of Incentive  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan providing for the maximum term of an Incentive, in the event any Incentive would expire prior to exercise, vesting or settlement because trading in shares of Common Stock  is prohibited by law or by any insider trading policy of the Company, the Committee may extend the term of the Incentive (or provide for such in the applicable Incentive Agreement) until thirty (30) days after the expiration of any such prohibitions to permit the Participant to realize the value of the Incentive, provided such extension (i) is permitted by law, (ii) does not violate Section 409A of the Code with respect to the Incentive, and (iii) does not otherwise adversely impact the tax consequences of the Incentive (such as ISOs and related Incentives).

11.11    Amendment of the Plan.  The Board may amend or discontinue the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment or discontinuance shall change or impair in a materially-adverse way, without the consent of the recipient, an Incentive previously granted; and provided further, that an amendment to (i) materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable through the Plan, (ii) materially modify the eligibility requirements, (iii) materially increase the benefits under the Plan or (iv) change the performance conditions or related limits set forth in the Plan for Incentives that are intended to be performance-based compensation under the special transition rule of Section 162(m) of the Code, must be approved by the shareholders of MidSouth.

11.12    Performance Objectives Defined. The Plan permits performance goals to be based on one or more objective business criteria, which may include the following: revenue, earnings (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), operating income, net income, profit margins, earnings per share, return on assets, return on equity, return on average equity, return on tangible equity, net interest margin, economic value-added, stock price, volume of business, market share, book value, expense management, cash flow, customer satisfaction, credit quality, credit performance, employee retention, compliance standards, and any other industry based criteria utilized in measuring the performance of a financial services company.

Article 12.     Change of Control.
		
	(a)
	A Change of Control shall mean:

14

		
	(1)
	the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the 1934 Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of more than 30% of the outstanding voting power with respect to the election of directors (“Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), no Change of Control will be over as a result of acquisition of Voting Securities:  (a) directly from or by the Company, (b) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company, or (c) by any corporation pursuant to a transaction that complies with clauses a), b) and c) of subsection (iii) of this Section; or

		
	(2)
	individuals who, as of the date this Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Approval Date”), constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Approval Date whose election, or nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board, unless such individual’s initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Incumbent Board; or

		
	(3)
	consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination,

		
	(i)
	all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding Common Stock and the Voting Securities of the Company immediately prior to such Business Combination have direct or indirect beneficial ownership, respectively, of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, and more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination 

15

(which, for purposes of this clause) and clauses b) and c), shall include a corporation that as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company either directly or through one or more subsidiaries), and
		
	(ii)
	except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, no person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan or related trust of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or 30% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation, and

		
	(iii)
	at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

		
	(iv)
	approval by the shareholders of the Company of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

		
	(b)
	Treatment of Incentives in Connection with a Change in Control.  Upon a Change in Control where the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation), all outstanding Incentives shall be assumed by, or substituted with comparable awards by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation). In the event that the surviving corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for an Incentive, the Incentive will become fully vested or exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and all forfeiture restrictions on any or all of such Incentives shall lapse, provided that any Incentives subject to performance-based vesting shall vest based on the greater of (i) actual performance as of the Change in Control or (ii) target performance, pro-rated based on the period elapsed between the beginning of the applicable performance period and the date of the Change in Control.  Unless the Incentives shall be assumed by, or substituted with comparable awards by, the surviving corporation (or a 

16

parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation), the Committee, without the need for the consent of any Participant may either (i) allow all Participants to exercise such options, SARs and purchase rights, to the extent then exercisable or to become exercisable upon the transaction, within a reasonable period prior to the consummation of the Change in Control and cancel any such Incentives that remain unexercised upon consummation of the Change in Control, and/or (ii) cancel any or all of such outstanding Incentives in exchange for a payment (in cash and/or in securities and/or other property) in an amount equal to the amount that the Participant would have received (net of the exercise or purchase price with respect to any options, SARs or purchase rights) if such vested Incentives were settled or distributed, or such vested options, SARs and purchase rights were exercised, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. Options, SARs and purchase rights with exercise or purchase prices that equal or exceed the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock in the transaction may be cancelled without any consideration therefor.

Article 13.     Definition of Fair Market Value.
“Fair Market Value” of Common Stock shall be determined for purposes of this Plan, as follows:  (a) if it is listed on an established stock exchange or any automated quotation system that provides sale quotations, the closing sale price for a share on such exchange or quotation system on the applicable date, or if no sale shall have been made on that day, on the next preceding day on which there was a sale; (b) if it is not listed on any exchange or quotation system, but bid and asked prices are quoted and published, the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices on the applicable date, and if bid and asked prices are not available on such day, on the next preceding day on which such prices were available; and (c) if it is not regularly quoted, the fair market value of a share on the applicable date as established by the Committee in good faith.

Article 14.     Clawback Provision. 
All Incentives (whether vested or unvested) shall be subject to such recovery or clawback as may be required pursuant to any applicable federal or other law or regulation, any applicable listing standard of any national securities exchange or system on which the Common Stock is then listed or reported or the terms of the Company’s recoupment, clawback or similar policy as such may be in effect from time to time, which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of Incentives or any shares of Common Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the Incentives (including any value received from a disposition of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon payment of the Incentives).

Article 15.     Banking Regulatory Provision. 
All Incentives shall be subject to any condition, limitation or prohibition under any financial institution regulatory policy or rule to which MidSouth or any subsidiary thereof is subject.

17

Article 16.     Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
It is intended that Incentives that are granted under the Plan be exempt from treatment as “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code.  Towards that end, all Incentives are intended to contain such terms as will qualify the Incentives for one or more exemptions from Section 409A of the Code.  The terms of the Plan and all Incentives shall be construed consistent with such intent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company shall not be liable to any participant or any other person if an Incentive is subject to Section 409A of the Code or the participant or other person is otherwise subject to any additional tax, interest or penalty for failure of an Incentive to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.
The time and form of payment of an Incentive shall be as set forth in the Incentive Agreement.  If the time of payment is not set forth in the Incentive Agreement, and the Incentive is not otherwise exempt from Section 409A of the Code, then the time of payment shall be within two and one-half months after the end of the later of the calendar year or fiscal year of the Company that employs the participant in which the Incentive becomes vested and no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  NQOs and SARs are intended to be exempt stock rights under Section 409A of the Code.  ISOs and restricted stock are exempt by definition from Section 409A of the Code.

Article 17.     Effective Date
The Plan shall become effective (the “Effective Date”) at such time as the Board of Directors of MidSouth approve the Plan, contingent upon the approval of the shareholders of the Company by a majority of the votes cast at a duly held meeting of the shareholders at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding voting stock is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting on the Plan.  Incentives may be awarded on and after the Effective Date, except no Restricted Stock may be granted and no Incentives may be settled in shares of Common Stock unless and until the shareholders so approve the Plan.
