continuing after giving effect thereto, each Seller shall have the right (but not any obligation) to repurchase Transferred Receivables originated by it (including, with respect to the Canadian Seller, such Transferred Receivables as are identified
for repurchase by such Seller in order to conform with, or not to breach, any provision of or order under, the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or regulations thereunder) upon not less than three Business Days' prior written notice to
the Purchaser; provided, however, that the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Transferred Receivables repurchased pursuant to this Section may not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of the highest aggregate Outstanding Balance of Transferred
Receivables at any time or (ii) $35,000,000. Such notice shall specify the date that the applicable Seller desires that such repurchase occur (such date, the "Repurchase Date") and shall identify the Receivables to be included in such
repurchase. Each Seller agrees that it will not utilize any selection procedure in selecting the Receivables to be so repurchased which is adverse to the interests of the Purchaser or its assigns or would reasonably be expected to result in the
repurchased Receivables containing a lower percentage of Defaulted Receivables or Delinquent Receivables than the percentage of Defaulted Receivables or Delinquent Receivables, as applicable, in the Receivables retained by the Purchaser. On the
Repurchase Date, the applicable Seller shall remit to the Purchaser in immediately available funds an amount equal to the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables included in such repurchase (provided that if any payment of Purchase Price is
due to such Seller on such Repurchase Date, such Seller may pay all or a portion of such amount by crediting the cash portion of such Purchase Price therewith), and upon receipt thereof, the Purchaser shall be deemed to assign and release, without
recourse, representation or warranty, its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables included in such repurchase. In connection with any such repurchase, the Purchaser shall execute and deliver, at the request and expense of such Seller,
any assignment or release that such Seller may reasonably request to evidence the repurchase of the applicable Receivables. At such time, if any, that the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables repurchased pursuant to this Section exceeds
2% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables, the applicable Seller will (or will cause the Servicer to) instruct all Obligors of Receivables being repurchased on such Repurchase Date to remit all their payments in respect of 
 
20
 

  

  
 
  
 such repurchased Receivables
to post office boxes or deposit accounts other than the Lock Boxes or Deposit Accounts.

purchase or capital contribution, as the case may be, on its books and records, and reflect each Purchase and contribution in its financial statements and tax returns as a sale or purchase or capital contribution, as the case may be. In the event
that, contrary to the mutual intent of the Sellers and the Purchaser, any Purchase or contribution of Receivables hereunder is not characterized as a sale or absolute transfer, each Seller shall, effective as of the date hereof, be deemed to have
granted (and each Seller hereby does grant) to the Purchaser a first priority security interest in and to any and all Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections and other proceeds thereof to secure the repayment of all amounts advanced to
such Seller hereunder with accrued interest thereon, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION 
           SECTION 6.01. Designation of Servicer. The servicing, administration and
collection of the Transferred Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the "Servicer") so designated hereunder from time to time. Until the RPA Final Payment Date, the U.S. Seller (or 
 
32
 

  

  
 
  
 such other Person as may be
designated from time to time under the RPA) is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Following the RPA Final Payment Date, the Purchaser, by notice to the U.S.
Seller, may at any time designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed the U.S. Seller or any successor Servicer, if such Person shall consent and agree to the terms hereof. Upon the U.S. Seller's receipt of such notice, the U.S.
Seller agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner which the Purchaser (or its designee) believes will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and the U.S. Seller shall
use its best efforts to assist the Purchaser (or its designee) to take over the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables, including, without limitation, providing access to and copies of all computer tapes or disks and
other documents or instruments that evidence or relate to Transferred Receivables maintained in its capacity as Servicer and access to all employees and officers of the U.S. Seller responsible with respect thereto. The Servicer may, with the prior
consent of the Purchaser, subcontract with any other Person for the servicing, administration or collection of Transferred Receivables. Any such subcontract shall not affect the Servicer's liability for performance of its duties and obligations
pursuant to the terms hereof, and any such subcontract shall terminate upon designation of a successor Servicer. The Servicer hereby appoints ACI as subservicer (ACI, in such capacity, the "Subservicer") to perform the servicing,
administration and collections functions of the Servicer hereunder; provided that the foregoing designation of ACI as subservicer does not (i) extend to the amendment or modification of a Receivable in accordance with Section 6.02(c) or
(ii) contravene or otherwise exceed or violate Section 6.07. In no instance will the servicing and subservicing hereunder be inconsistent with, or in violation of, the terms and conditions of the Insurance Policy (and ACI shall continue
its servicing and administration of the Insurance Policy). The Purchaser hereby consents to the designation of ACI as subservicer hereunder. 
           SECTION 6.02. Duties of Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Transferred
Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Purchaser hereby appoints the Servicer, from time to time
designated pursuant to Section 6.01, as agent to enforce its ownership and other rights in the Transferred Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto. In performing its duties as Servicer, the Servicer shall
exercise the same care and apply the same policies as it would exercise and apply if it owned the Transferred Receivables and shall act in the best interests of the Purchaser and its assignees. The Servicer's and the Subservicer's duties hereunder
shall include paying, on behalf of the Sellers, all premiums due under the Insurance Policy when the same are due (and the Servicer and the Subservicer shall provide the Purchaser with evidence of such payment by no later than the Business Day
following the date such payment is due) and performing all obligations of ACI under the Insurance Policy in accordance with the terms of the Insurance Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer or the Subservicer will (i)
(x) immediately, upon obtaining knowledge of the relevant Obligor's insolvency and (y) in all other cases, no later than four months after the relevant Receivable becomes due, file a claim under the Insurance Policy in such form as is
required by the Insurer and with properly completed supporting documentation; (ii) not take any action to amend, supplement or otherwise modify the Insurance Policy (including, without 
 
33
 

  

  
 
  
 limitation, consenting to any
changes to the Insurance Policy proposed by the Insurer as part of the annual review process) or waive any of its rights thereunder, without the Purchaser's prior consent in each case (other than any replacement of a Coverage Certificate that would
not result in an Insurance Policy Event); (iii) not change the directions given to the Insurer regarding the remittance of Insurance Proceeds; (iv) service the Receivables as required by the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Policy;
(v) deliver to the Insurer in a timely fashion any document or report required by the Insurer; and (vi) not take, or omit to take, any action which gives rise to an exclusion from coverage under the Insurance Policy. The Servicer and the
Subservicer will ensure that all records relating to the Receivables are consistent with the requirements of the Insurance Policy and that such records are in such form as will not result in rejection of otherwise proper claims under the Insurance
Policy. In the event the Servicer or the Subservicer fails to file a claim with respect to any Receivable, the Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) file such claim under the Insurance Policy. 
           (b) (i) At any time when the Debt Ratings of ACI are not equal to the Required Ratings, prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York City
Time) on the second Business Day of each calendar week, the Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Purchaser a Seller Report which shall contain information related to the Transferred Receivables as of the close of business on the last Business
Day of the preceding calendar week. 
           (ii) At all other times, the Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Purchaser
Seller Reports prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York City Time) on the 17th calendar day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), relating to all Transferred Receivables, and the Related Security and
Collections with respect thereto on the last day of the immediately preceding month. 
           (c) If no Event of Termination or
Incipient Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller (other than ACI), while it is the Servicer (subject to the provisions of Section 6.07), may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the
maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Transferred Receivable as the Servicer deems appropriate to maximize Collections thereof, or otherwise amend or modify other terms of any Transferred Receivable, provided that, in each case,
any necessary approval of the Insurer shall have been obtained. 
           (d) Each Seller shall deliver to the Servicer, and the
Servicer shall hold in trust for such Seller and the Purchaser in accordance with their respective interests, all documents, instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) which evidence or relate to Transferred
Receivables. 
           (e) The Servicer shall as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within two Business Days) following
receipt turn over to the relevant Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Receivables not constituting Transferred Receivables. 
           (f) [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 
34
 

  

  
 
  
           (g) The Servicer also shall perform the other obligations of the "Servicer" set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Transferred Receivables. 
           SECTION 6.03. Servicer Fee. The Purchaser shall pay to the Servicer (and the Subservicer, to the extent required by the second
sentence of this Section 6.03), so long as it is acting as the Servicer hereunder, an aggregate periodic collection fee (the "Servicer Fee") of 0.50% per annum on the average daily aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Transferred
Receivables, payable on each Settlement Date, or such other day during each calendar month as the Purchaser and the Servicer shall agree. So long as U.S. Seller is the Servicer and ACI is the Subservicer, the Servicer hereby directs the Purchaser to
pay 80% of the Servicer Fee to the Subservicer and 20% of the Servicer Fee to the Servicer. So long as the U.S. Seller is acting as the Servicer hereunder and the Canadian Seller is acting as the Subservicer, amounts payable as the Servicer Fee
pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by any amounts paid to the U.S. Seller and the Canadian Seller as a "Servicer Fee" and subservicing fee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of the RPA, provided that
such obligation of the Purchaser shall in no event be reduced below zero. 
           SECTION 6.04. Certain Rights of the
Purchaser. (a) After a Control Event, the Purchaser may, at any time, give notice of ownership and/or direct the Obligors of Transferred Receivables and any Person obligated on any Related Security, or any of them, that payment of all
amounts payable under any Transferred Receivable shall be made directly to the Purchaser or its designee. Each Seller hereby transfers to the Purchaser (and its assigns and designees) the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Boxes and Deposit
Accounts maintained by such Seller for the purpose of receiving Collections. 
           (b) After a Control Event, each Seller
shall, at any time upon the Purchaser's request and at such Seller's expense, give notice of the Purchaser's ownership to each Obligor of Transferred Receivables and direct that payments of all amounts payable under the Transferred
Receivables be
made directly to the Purchaser or its designee. 
           (c) At any time after a Control Event, at the Purchaser's request and at
the relevant Seller's expense, such Seller and the Servicer shall (A) assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) that evidence or relate to the Transferred Receivables,
and the related Contracts and Related Security, or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Transferred Receivables (including, without limitation, the Insurance Policy), and shall make the same available to the Purchaser at a place
selected by the Purchaser or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Transferred Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Purchaser and, promptly upon
receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly indorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Purchaser or its designee. The Purchaser shall also have the right to make copies of all such documents, instruments and other
records at any time. 
           (d) At any time after a Control Event, each Seller authorizes the Purchaser to take any and all
steps in such Seller's name and on behalf of such Seller that are necessary or 
 
35
 

  

  
 
  
 desirable, in the
determination of the Purchaser, to collect amounts due under the Transferred Receivables, including, without limitation, (i) endorsing such Seller's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections of Transferred Receivables,
(ii) giving notice of the Purchaser's ownership to each Obligor of Transferred Receivables and direct that payments of all amounts payable under the Transferred Receivables be made directly to the Purchaser or its designee and
(iii) enforcing the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security and related Contracts and the Insurance Policy. 
           SECTION 6.05. Rights and Remedies. (a) If either Seller or the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Purchaser may (but shall not
be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and, if such Seller (as Servicer or otherwise) fails to so perform, the costs and expenses of the Purchaser incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Seller as
provided in Section 8.01 or Section 9.04 as applicable. 
           (b) Each Seller shall perform all of its obligations
under the Contracts related to the Transferred Receivables to the same extent as if such Seller had not sold or contributed Receivables hereunder and the exercise by the Purchaser of its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Seller from such
obligations or its obligations with respect to the Transferred Receivables. The Purchaser shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Transferred Receivables or related Contracts or the Insurance Policy, nor shall the Purchaser be
obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Sellers thereunder. 
           (c) Each Seller shall cooperate with the Servicer
in collecting amounts due from Obligors in respect of the Transferred Receivables. 
           (d) Each Seller hereby grants to
Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of such Seller all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any
kind held or transmitted by such Seller or transmitted or received by Purchaser (whether or not from such Seller) in connection with any Transferred Receivable. 
           SECTION 6.06. Transfer of Records to Purchaser. Each Purchase and contribution of Receivables hereunder shall include the transfer to the Purchaser of all of the relevant
Seller's right and title to and interest in the records relating to such Receivables and shall include an irrevocable non-exclusive license to the use of such Seller's computer software system to access and create such records. Such license shall be
without royalty or payment of any kind, is coupled with an interest, and shall be irrevocable until all of the Transferred Receivables are either collected in full or become Defaulted Receivables. 
           Each Seller shall take such action requested by the Purchaser, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Purchaser has an enforceable
ownership interest in the records relating to the Transferred Receivables and rights (whether by ownership, license or sublicense) to the use of such Seller's computer software system to access and create such records. 
 
36
 

  

  
 
  
           In recognition of each Seller's need to have access to the records transferred to the Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser hereby grants to such Seller an irrevocable license to
access such records in connection with any activity arising in the ordinary course of such Seller's business or in performance of its duties as Servicer, provided that (i) such Seller shall not disrupt or otherwise interfere with the
Purchaser's use of and access to such records during such license period and (ii) such Seller consents to the assignment and delivery of the records (including any information contained therein relating to such Seller or its operations) to any
assignees or transferees of the Purchaser provided they agree to hold such records confidential. 
           SECTION 6.07. Limitation
on Activities of Servicer in Canada. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or anything contained in any other document delivered in connection herewith, the Servicer, as Servicer (and each Person to whom the Servicer delegates any
of its responsibilities, including, without limitation, the Subservicer) shall not while acting in Canada, and shall not (and has no authority to) delegate to any Person acting in Canada the authority to, or permit any such Person to, enter into
contracts or other agreements in the name of or on behalf of the Servicer or the Purchaser; and the Servicer (or any such delegate) is not permitted to (nor has authority to) establish an office or other place of business of the Servicer or the
Purchaser in Canada. To the extent any responsibilities of any Person acting in Canada (including for greater certainty a Servicer employee or servant or ACI as Subservicer) to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in respect of
Transferred Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections hereunder or under any other Transaction Document involve or require such Person to enter a contract or other agreement in the name of or on behalf of the Sellers or the Purchaser,
such servicing responsibility shall be fulfilled solely by, or upon specific approval of, the Servicer, and such Person is authorized to take such action or give such approval, but only from a place of business outside Canada, and such Person may
not delegate such responsibility except upon the consent or the direction of the Agent (and then only subject to these same restrictions). 
           (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or anything contained in any other document delivered in connection herewith, the U.S. Seller (and each Person to whom the U.S.
Seller delegates any of its responsibilities (including, without limitation, the Subservicer)) shall not, while acting in Canada, and shall not (and has no authority to) delegate to any Person acting in Canada the authority to, or permit any such
Person to, enter into contracts or other agreements in the name of or on behalf of the U.S. Seller. The U.S. Seller is not permitted to (nor has authority to) establish an office or other place of business in Canada.

impact on the Purchaser or its assigns or the collectibility of the Transferred Receivables) within five Business Days after the first date on which either Seller obtains knowledge or receives written notice of such breach from the Purchaser or its
assigns) made or deemed made by either Seller (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any information or report delivered by either Seller, the Servicer or the Subservicer pursuant to this Agreement shall prove to have

agreement or instrument relating to any such Debt and shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of,

obligor thereunder; or

relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it), either such proceeding
shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or
other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or (iii) any receiver, trustee, custodian or similar official shall be appointed for either Seller, the Servicer or the Subservicer under any private
right; or (iv) either Seller, the Servicer or the Subservicer shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this subsection (g); or

 ARTICLE VIII 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
           SECTION 8.01. Indemnities by the Sellers.
Without limiting any other rights which the Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, each Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its assigns and transferees (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all

Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the purchase or contribution of any Transferred Receivables or in respect of any Transferred Receivable originated by such Seller or any related Contract, including, without

such Seller of any Transferred Receivable as an Eligible Receivable which is not an Eligible Receivable as of the date of such Seller Report or statement; 
      (ii) any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by such Seller (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, which shall have been incorrect in any material respect

40
 

  

  
 
  
 Purchase or
contribution under this Agreement and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time of any Purchase or contribution or at any subsequent time or the failure to take any other steps required to perfect any such Purchase
or contribution; or the failure to have properly notified any Obligor of the transfer, sale or assignment of any Receivable pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent such notice is required to perfect the same under Quebec law for purposes of this

to make opposable, publish and allow the setting up of such transfer, sale and assignment as against Obligors and other third parties, including any trustee in bankruptcy; 
      (vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable that is, or that purports to be, the subject of a Purchase or

      (vii) any failure of such Seller, as Servicer or otherwise,
to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof or to perform its duties or obligations under any Contract related to a Transferred Receivable, including, without limitation, any failure of such Seller to file (or cause
the Servicer to file) claims under the Insurance Policy in a timely fashion and with properly completed supporting documentation, any action or omission by such Seller which gives rise to an exclusion from coverage under the Insurance Policy, any

consent (if required) from the relevant Obligor to the transfer, sale or assignment of any Receivable pursuant to this Agreement; or 
      (xiv)
after the date hereof, any Indemnified Party shall be subject to Canadian taxes on income or capital in connection with the Receivables or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and resulting from such Indemnified Party having a permanent
establishment in Canada solely as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (but only directly and exclusively as a result of any breach by such Seller or the Servicer (or any delegatee thereof including ACI as Subservicer) of its obligations
hereunder). 
 It is expressly agreed and understood by the parties hereto (i) that the foregoing indemnification is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guarantee of the
collectibility or payment of the Transferred Receivables and (ii) that nothing in this Section 8.01 shall require either Seller to indemnify any Person (A) for Receivables which are not collected, not paid or uncollectible on account
of the insolvency, bankruptcy, or financial inability to pay of the applicable Obligor, (B) for damages, losses, claims or liabilities or related costs or expenses to the extent found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent

(a) Amendments Generally. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by either Seller therefrom shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Purchaser and, in the case of any amendment,
also signed by the Sellers, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Purchaser to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 9.01 (a), Exhibits B and F hereto may be amended in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 5.01(g) and 5.01(b), respectively, and (ii) the amendments described in clauses (c)-(e) of this Section 9.01 shall
become effective upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in this Section 9.01.

of the Parent, including by incorporation of representations and warranties, covenants or events of default relating to the Parent (such financing, the "Replacement Bank Agreement"), the Sellers and the Purchaser agree to enter into good
faith negotiations for a period of 30 days after the effectiveness of such Replacement Bank Agreement, or such longer period as may be agreed to, in writing, by the Sellers, the Purchaser and the Purchaser's assigns, in order to amend this
Agreement so as to reflect, as applicable, the terms and conditions of analogous clauses in the Replacement Bank Agreement to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser and its assigns, but in each case in a manner which is consistent with the
provisions of Section 4.0 l(e) and the first sentence of Section 5.02.

and severally agree to pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and the Sellers jointly

A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
           SECTION 9.08. Third Party Beneficiary. Each of the parties hereto
hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser may assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and that such assignees may (except as otherwise agreed to by such assignees) further assign their rights under this Agreement, and each Seller

the Purchaser's rights and remedies under, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were parties thereto, except to the extent specifically limited under the terms of their assignment. 
           SECTION 9.09. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and

hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall
be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
           (b) The U.S. Seller consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified

Canadian Seller consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to the attention of the U.S. Seller at its address specified in Section 9.02, or in any other manner
permitted by applicable law. Nothing in this Section 9.10 shall affect the right of the Purchaser or its assigns to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. 
           (c) To the extent that the Canadian Seller has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or
notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Canadian Seller hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

           SECTION 9.11. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a
sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Purchaser or
its assigns could purchase Dollars with such other currency at New York, New York on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

"Recipient") hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following such Recipient's receipt of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency,
such Recipient may, in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase (and remit in New York) Dollars with such other currency; if the Dollars so purchased and remitted are less than the sum originally due to such Recipient in Dollars, the
relevant Payor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the relevant Recipient against such loss, and if the Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to the relevant Recipient in Dollars, the
relevant Recipient agrees to remit to the relevant Payor such excess.

 EXHIBIT C 
 FORM OF
DEFERRED PURCHASE PRICE NOTE 
 New York, New
York
                    , 200    
           FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ABITIBI-CONSOLIDATED U.S. FUNDING CORP., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser"), hereby promises to pay to [NAME OF SELLER] (the "Seller") the
principal amount of this Note, determined as described below, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the RPA) for periods of one month plus the Applicable
Margin (as defined in the RPA) plus 0.25%, in each case in lawful money of the United States of America. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase and Contribution Agreement
dated as of October 27, 2005 among Abitibi-Consolidated Inc., Abitibi Consolidated Sales Corporation and the Purchaser (such agreement, as it may from time to time be amended, restated or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms, the
"Purchase and Contribution Agreement"). This Note is one of the notes referred to in the definition of "Deferred Purchase Price" in the Purchase and Contribution Agreement. 
           The aggregate principal amount of this Note at any time shall be equal to the difference between (a) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of this Note on the date of
the issuance hereof and each addition to the principal amount of this Note pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02 of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement minus (b) the aggregate amount of all payments made in respect of the principal
amount of this Note, in each case, as recorded on the schedule annexed to and constituting a part of this Note, but failure to so record shall not affect the obligations of the Purchaser to the Seller. 
           The entire principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable one year and one day after the Facility Termination Date or such later
date as may be agreed in writing by the Seller and the Purchaser. The principal amount of this Note may, at the option of the Purchaser, be prepaid in whole at any time or in part from time to time. Interest on this Note shall be paid in arrears on
each Settlement Date, at maturity and thereafter on demand. All payments hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account of the Seller as the Seller may designate in writing. 
           Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Note, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by the Purchaser under this
Note exceed the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law. 
           The obligations of the Purchaser under this
Deferred Purchase Price Note are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent set forth in Section 2.03(c) of the Purchase and 
 
C-1
 

  

  
 
  
 Contribution Agreement, to the
prior payment in full of all Capital, Yield, Fees and other obligations of the Purchaser under the RPA. 
           Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in this Deferred Purchase Price Note or elsewhere, other than with respect to payments specifically permitted by Section 2.03(c) of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, no demand for any payment may be made
hereunder, no payment shall be due with respect hereto and the Seller shall have no claim for any payment hereunder prior to the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date and then only on the date, if ever, when all Capital, Yield, Fees and other
obligations owing under the RPA shall have been paid in full. 
           In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provision
limiting such payment, the Seller shall receive any payment or distribution on this Deferred Purchase Price Note which is not specifically permitted by Section 2.03(c) of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, such payment shall be received
and held in trust by the Seller for the benefit of the entities to whom the obligations are owed under the RPA and shall be promptly paid over to such entities. 
           The Purchaser hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind whatsoever. 
           Neither this Note, nor any right of the Seller to receive payments hereunder, shall, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and (prior to the RPA Final Payment Date)
the Agent under the RPA, be assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated, participated or otherwise conveyed. 
           THIS
NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

  The following documents and information should be obtained by Sales or its supports during contract negotiations and submitted to their designated Credit
Group Representatives.
   
  1.         Completed credit application signed by an officer or officers of the company. 
  2.         Forecast of the annual requirements to be generated by
the customer. 
  3.        Bank references, a written formal authorization from customers agreeing to the release of such information, may be requested.  Customer is obligated to provide the authorization. 
  4.         Obtain W-9 or equivalent form prior to credit limit
set-up in address book  
  5.      
  Trade references, names of customer vendors, will be requested from customer. (at least, 1 reference in the Paper Industry). 
  6.         Financial statements, preferably audited (Analysis to

  7.        In addition to the info provided by sales, Credit Group
will order credit reports from the various agencies such as Dun and Bradstreet to obtain additional credit information, if required. 
    
 	  Exchange of Credit Information 
 

  The Credit group will release credit information related to customer payment experience only to suppliers with a membership at one of the following NACM
& FCIB organizations:  National Fine Paper Manufacturers (VAP), Newsprint & Allied Products, National Forest Products, & Forest Products Export . The Credit Group will also release information
to all of our customers upon receiving a written request. Credit information will be given on customers with special arrangements with ACI only upon written customer's authorization to avoid any non-disclosure issues.  Credit information on
customers will not be given by phone under any circumstances in order to mitigate potential problems. Minimum 3 days to process a request.   
 	  Credit Authorization Turn Around Time 

  The turn around time for making a credit recommendation on new accounts is five (5) business days when information is readily available. 
   
   4 

   
 

    
  For out of country customers, it typically takes two (2) weeks after receipt of the completed credit application from the customer.  This
time frame could be longer if the credit references do not respond or the application is incomplete. 
     
   Note:  If required, upon approval, a letter will be forwarded to customer to
confirm credit limit and terms of payment to the exception of Lumber.  Sales and Customer Service will be advised through e-mail. A signed centralized contract must be made available to Credit when needed.    
 
 	  Credit Limit Categories  
 

  After investigations, customers will be placed in one of three risk categories for the credit department use only. Based on the decision
criteria, Credit will make a determination about the customer's credit worthiness.  A customer deemed credit worthy is approved for standard terms; a customer who is not deemed creditworthy will only be approved with security.  
 
    
 	  Risk categories: 

  1.        Low Risk or A Rating in system – credit hold
exempted customers, select credit worthy customers  
  2.         Medium Risk or C Rating in system – No credit hold exemption, no security required 
  3.        High Risk or E Rating in system - Surety required,
security deposit, letter of credit, pre-payment, etc. (ongoing monitoring), $1.00 credit limit assigned.  
    
  If there are major issues or disagreements, Sales and Credit will discuss other alternatives that would be in ACI's best
interest. 
    
  In addition, credit limit should be assigned to customers during peak buying period during the month as opposed to assigning credit limit based on month end
balance after payment is received.

  Discretionary Credit Limit  (DCL) of $1,000,000 or $500,000  may apply to all buyers (except those excluded in
writing by EDC) in all markets.  EXCEPT  Venezuela where the coverage is conditional upon obtaining confirmation that the buyer has been granted authorization from Venezuela's foreign exchange
administration commission (CADIVI) to acquire foreign currency for the subject shipments and accordingly, the corresponding registration number (AAD number) for that shipment.  A further condition is that it will apply only to existing buyers
who have been able to obtain funds through the CADIVI process during the 12 months prior to September 1, 2004.  Any new buyers, or existing buyers with no tract record of having accessed funds through CADIVI, would need to be approved by EDC.
 
    
 	  Method 1 - Abitibi to justify $500,000 DCL coverage (without having to refer to EDC) based on: 

 	  Abitibi's own experience with buyer during the past 12 months. 
 

  
 	  Method 2 - Abitibi to justify $500,000 DCL coverage (without having to refer to EDC) based on: 

 	  Written Credit Information – Favorable, provided by a recognized credit information agency or a
bank, which supports the extension of credit for the amount of the sale.  The information must not be dated more than 12 months. 
 

    
 	  Method 3 – Abitibi to justify $1,000.000 DCL coverage (without having to refer to EDC) based on: 

 	
 Financial Statements and written credit information – Favorable financial statements in
combination with favorable written credit information of the buyer, which support the extension of credit for the amount of the sale.  The fiscal year end of the statements cannot be more than eighteen months. EDC understands and agrees that in
most cases, it will be difficult to obtain financial statements, in such cases, Abitibi is required to obtain a detailed bank report from customer to satisfy EDC requirements.

 	  Credit Evaluation of Existing Customers and Review 

 	  Evaluation of Existing customers: 
 

    
  The evaluation of existing
customers is initiated by the submission of a request by sales for incremental shipments.  The major difference in the evaluation of an existing customer and a new customer is that there is an established relationship and therefore Credit can
make a more informed decision.  Utilizing the customer's history with ACI, Credit can review the customer's usage/billing and payment habits for prior ACI services.  In addition to affording Credit access to additional information in the
decision making process, there is also an opportunity to leverage the request for additional services to collect on past due amounts.  The following is a brief synopsis of the evaluation process for existing customers: 
    
 	  Sales submits request for incremental shipments. 
 
	  Credit performs the credit review, including researching the customers A/R balance and past payment trends. 

	  Should the A/R balance be current, past payment trends acceptable, and all other components of the
credit review acceptable, the customer's credit limit will be increased and the request approved. 

	  In the event that there are past dues and all other components are satisfactory, the request will be held up until the past dues are
settled before releasing pending orders. 

	  In the event that there is a
history of late payments and all other credit review components are satisfactory, Credit will consult Sales for feedback on customer to assist in the credit decision. 

	  In the event the internal information is satisfactory and the other components are not, a decision to require surety or not will be
made. 

    
 	  Periodic or Annual Reviews: 
 

 
  
  The objective of the periodic or annual credit evaluation is to assess an existing customer's ability to meet the terms
and conditions of existing service that is to be renewed or amended including changes to commitment levels, estimated run rates, and changes in products and services consumed. 
  
  7

  
 

    
  Customers with credit limit < $500k are reviewed on a 12 month basis (ACI own experience or written credit information) 
    
  Customers with credit limit >$500k and up to $1.0M are
reviewed on a 12 month basis (Financial statements dated less than 18 months  & written experience dated 12 months or less) 
   
 
  Customers with credit limit >$1.0M whereas EDC had issued a cover letter for continuing coverage are reviewed by EDC according to their
own review date guidelines and coverage will remain in place until otherwise advise. 
    
  Historic evidence proves that a customer's credit worthiness constantly changes due to dynamic elements present in business cycle.  Evaluating a
customer's ability to pay ACI, therefore, cannot be based on a single transaction but must be regularly and consistently reevaluated.  The following is a listing of occurrences that will trigger a review:
 
   
 	
 Credit can initiate a review of a customer based on information obtained from Dun & Bradstreet's Portfolio
Manager, based on public information obtained from newspapers, magazines, etc... 
 
	  Credit
can initiate a review of a customer anytime if judged necessary. 

	  Sales Team can initiate
a review of a customer by submitting a request to Credit. 

	  Credit Coordinators are
requested to show in Abiserve Last Credit Review date as well as Next Credit Review date.  An exception report will be ordered to monitor customers up for credit review and ensure timeliness of the process on a daily basis. 
 

    
 	  Contractual Agreements (Verbal or Written) 

  Contractual agreements are those reviewed by Legal and/or negotiated by Sales with new (after credit investigations) and existing customers.  Credit
should be notified of any amendments to the contractual agreement related to payment terms and conditions.    
   
   8 

 

    
  Credit Coordinator may obtain copies of such agreements upon request from Sales Accounting. 
    
 	  Creation of Customer Identification Number (ID#) 

  System administration from Sales Service Department is responsible for proper customer set up in the address book.  Credit Coordinator is responsible
for proper set up of the following fields:  legal name, credit limit, credit rating, terms of payment and Federal Tax ID #. 
    
 	  Customer Credit Files 
 

  Credit will create and maintain complete and current credit and collection files on all customers.  These credit files may include the following

  International Accounts - Special or extended terms have to be approved by a Vice-President.  
   
 
 	   Collection Procedures: 
 

    
  The following summary identifies the collection activity that can be applied
to all levels of business segment accounts. 
    
  Credit Group representatives work to convert accounts receivable into cash. Group optimizes productivity by managing day-to-day duties including customer contact and interaction with various ACI groups: Accounts Receivable, Finance, Sales,
Customer Accounting, Sales Service, Agents and Legal & Regulatory Affairs.  
    
  Additionally, Credit Coordinators are knowledgeable of various products, Accounts Receivable Systems etc. ACI customers are expected to pay their invoices as per obligated terms. Credit Group
representatives are responsible for identifying the cause of any delinquency. Delinquent receivable issues result from customer non-payment as well as internal Company problems such as billing, sales "rate" misquotes.  Credit Group
representatives are most effective working directly with customers to resolve issues impacting the customer's ability to remit payment. Our collection approach is to do everything possible to assist the Sales Team and the customer in correcting
problems that impede their ability to pay.  
    
 	   Aging 

	  1 day beyond terms of payment,
collection process begins - if required 

	  15 days beyond – a minimum of 3 calls – if required

	  20 days beyond - 1 written notice to customer - if required, Director Credit and Sales must be notified. 

	  60 days beyond terms, negotiate payment plans or surety - if required  

	  70 days beyond terms – No payment agreement, No surety  - Issuance of NOI (notice of intent to terminate service or release to legal or
collection agencies) if required. 
 

  Note:  This timeline is to be used as a guideline.  Timeline may be longer when there is
manual posting of invoices or if invoices are delivered late or other related billing issues.  Collections notes must  be recorded in Abiserve.  
    
    
 	  Hold Orders Procedures 
 

    
 	  Customer Service Representative enters an order 
 

   10 

 

  
 	  Abiserve is ONLY credit limit driven .  If customer is over the credit limit, the system will
automatically hold all orders. 

	  The Hold order is then referred to the Credit
Agent for release.  Before the order is released, the Credit Agent must do the following: 

	  If the Customer is over the credit limit, initiate a credit review. It takes us 48 hours to investigate and increase the limit. If
for financial reasons, we feel that the credit limit should not be increased Sales & SSR are advised of the situation asap.  Credit and Sales will arrive at a decision to release the order or not 

	  If the customer has past due invoices to be cured and has already mailed its payment, the order is released asap and a
credit review is initiated immediately afterwards to provide customer with more capacity if necessary.   

	  If the Customer is unable to pay and we are negotiating payments, Sales and SSR are advised of the situation asap.  Credit and
Sales arrived at a decision to release the order or not. 

	  Only Credit
Coordinator is to advise the customer that the order is on hold with the agreement of Sales and Sales Agents. 

	  The Director Credit is required to approve all amounts in excess of the credit limit. 

    
 	  SX order release 

    
  Stock
paper delivered from a warehouse to a customer is released with an "SX" order. A held SX order has to be released by the Credit coordinators in order to reach the billing process. 
    
  Since SX
orders are not listed on "WDP " Warehouse Daily Planning report sent electronically by Abiserve to the warehouses, SSRs have to manually forward all SX order documentation. However, no credit check is performed before the documentation is
sent. 
    
  As a result, SX orders are delivered to customers before the Credit department releases the order in the system.  To be in compliance with the credit
policy, as a rule SSRs are instructed not to release any SX orders until they have been released off credit hold by Credit Coordinators.  
    
  Exception "Blanket Release" 
   
   11 

 

    
  A short list of Top customers have been designated as "blanket release" meaning they are allowed to pick up their own paper from the warehouse.
 
    
  To be designated as "blanket release", a customer has to be flagged in the system as "credit exempt" meaning credit coordinators intervention is needed
only, once maximum credit limit allowed has been reached. 
    
  Blanket releases are purely a manual system, totally non transparent to credit coordinators. 
    
  In order
to better control this process, the following controls have been put in place: 
    
  1.        SSRs Managers will
provide a monthly list of designated customers to the Director Credit for approval. 
  2.
         Director Credit will only approve customers that are credit exempted (meaning orders go through without credit intervention until credit limit is surpassed) 
  3.         Credit Coordinators
will monitor the exposure of all customers on the list periodically. 
  4.         Sales Accounting will monitor all releases from warehouse and ensure proper billing.

not to be released from hold  

	  SSM's to sign a release form allowing them to
perform such function. 
 
	  Send the release password to the SSM's granting
them access to release the following types of orders  ONLY: 
 

  A)      Top Accounts (credit hold exempted) where SSR's had made changes to an order and the amount of the order has changed.  B) Emergency shipments or last minute orders for
our Top Accounts (credit hold exempted) Anything else should remain on hold until Credit Department is back to work. 
 	  Following day, SSM's will provide the respective Credit Agents, a listing of all orders that have been released off credit
hold. 

   12 

  
 

 	  Following day,
Credit Department will change the password for order release.

Loss”. The amount of any Domestic Loss will be determined pursuant to Section 19.

			
	 Loss
	  		  	 The term “Loss”, when used in this Policy, means either an Export Loss or a Domestic Loss, or both, as the context requires. A Loss is
covered under this Policy only if it is an amount that was payable by the buyer which was not paid as a direct result of the occurrence of a covered Risk or which would have become payable under the Eligible Contract if the Risk had not occurred.

			
	 Risks
	  	 2.
	  	 The risks that are covered under this Policy (the “Risks”) are the following:

				
	 Insolvency
	  		  	 (1)
	  	 failure of the buyer to pay when the financial situation of the buyer has resulted in:

					
		  		  		  	 (a)
	  	 proceedings being commenced under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the buyer’s country for the reorganization of the financial affairs of the buyer or
the winding up of the buyer; or

					
		  		  		  	 (b)
	  	 the conclusion of a composition arrangement which is legally binding on all the creditors of the buyer;

		  		  		  	 Limit or Credit Approval, exclude a buyer, or change the provisions of the Country Schedule, including, without limitation, by removing a country
from the Country Schedule. However, any such change, cancellation or withdrawal shall apply only to goods to be Shipped after receipt of the notice by the Insured (the date of such receipt to be determined in accordance with Section 35). Any Loss
with respect to goods Shipped after receipt of the notice, other than goods Shipped in accordance with a change set out in any such notice, shall be conclusively deemed to be a Loss that was due to a cause avoidable by the Insured and therefore
excluded from coverage pursuant to Section 8 of the Policy.

				
	 Changes – annually
	  		  	 (2)
	  	 The Insurers shall have the right to change the premium rates and any term or condition of the Policy as of any Anniversary Date, provided that the
Insured is sent an initial notice, at least 60 days prior to the Anniversary Date, that changes may or will be made to the Policy, but the changes need not be specified as part of such initial notice. The Insured will be notified of the specific
changes at a later date and the changes will become effective on the first Anniversary Date following the Insurers’ initial notice if the Insured notifies the Insurers that the changes are acceptable. If the Insured does not agree with the
changes, the Policy will terminate 60 days after such Anniversary Date and during that 60 day period the existing rates and terms and conditions will continue to apply.

			
	 Application
	  	 5.
	  	 The statements made by the Insured in the Application are the basis upon which this Policy has been issued. If any such statements are untrue,
incomplete or incorrect in any material respect, this Policy shall be void as of the Coverage Effective Date and the Insurers may retain any premium and fees that have been paid.

			
	 Documentation Risk
	  	 6.
	  	 Even though the Insurers may have received from the Insured, or provided comments on, any contract of sale, agreement or other documentation, the
Insured remains responsible for ensuring the effectiveness of all documentation, including ensuring that an agreement creates a binding payment obligation by the relevant party.

			
	 Disputes
	  	 7.
	  	 If there is a dispute between the Insured and the buyer with regard to any matter which brings into question the amount owing (or whether there is
any amount owing) by the buyer to the Insured (a “Dispute”), the Insurer shall have no liability with respect to the claim until the Dispute is finally settled, by negotiation or otherwise, and the Loss amount is clearly
established.

	
	 EXCLUSIONS
  

			
		  	 8.
	  	 The Insurers shall not be liable for the payment of a claim for Loss if:

				
	 Misrepresentation
	  		  	 (1)
	  	 the Insured has at any time made any misrepresentation to an Insurer or has failed to disclose to the Insurers any information that is material to
the rights, liabilities or obligations of either Insurer under this Policy;

				
	 Changing Terms of Payment
	  		  	 (2)
	  	 the Insured has agreed with the buyer to change the payment terms under the Eligible Contract, unless:

					
		  		  		  	 (a)
	  	 the Insurer has given its prior written approval;

					
		  		  		  	 (b)
	  	 such agreement constitutes a composition arrangement that is legally binding on all creditors of the buyer; or

					
		  		  		  	 (c)
	  	 the agreement was made in the circumstances described in Section 9;

 DUTIES OF THE INSURED 
  
  

							
			
	 Notification of Other Contracts
	  	  
 10.
	  	  
 The Insured shall promptly notify the
Insurers each time a shipment of goods is to be made by the Insured under a contract of sale (other than an Excluded Contract) that is on terms not provided for in the Country Schedule or with a buyer located in a country not listed in the Country
Schedule, and on being so notified, the Insurers shall either:

				
		  		  	 (1)
	  	 extend the insurance coverage to include the contract of sale as an Eligible Contract by adding the buyer’s country and/or the new payment terms to the
Country Schedule, and advise the Insured of the terms of such coverage; or

				
		  		  	 (2)
	  	 designate the contract of sale as an Excluded Contract.

			
		  	 11.
	  	 On or before the 20th day of the month following the end of each Declaration Period, the Insured shall:

				
	 Declarations
	  		  	 (1)
	  	 complete and return to the Insurers the declaration worksheet provided by the Insurers, specifying by country (or, in the case of Canada, by province or
territory) where the buyer is located, the Gross Invoice Value of all goods Shipped during that Declaration Period under contracts of sale other than Excluded Contracts, and if no such goods have been Shipped during that Declaration Period, the
Insured shall submit a nil declaration; and

				
	 Payment of Premium
	  		  	 (2)
	  	 pay premium, computed on the Gross Invoice Value of all goods Shipped during that Declaration Period under contracts of sale other than Excluded Contracts, at
the rates applicable on the date the goods were Shipped, as set out in the Country Schedule, and any applicable taxes.

			
	 Payment of Other Fees
	  	 12.
	  	 Upon receipt of a statement of account, the Insured shall promptly pay all fees owing for any services provided by the Insurers or obtained by the
Insurers for the Insured for purposes of the coverage.

			
	 Overdues and Events that Could Cause a Loss
	  	  
  
 13.
	  	  
  
 The Insured shall immediately notify the Insurers of any event or circumstance of which the Insured is aware that could cause a Loss, including, without limitation, any deterioration in the financial
condition of a buyer, and, on or before the 20th day of each calendar month, the Insured shall provide the Insurers with full particulars as to all amounts payable by buyers under Eligible Contracts that have been in default for more than 90 days.

			
	 Prevent and Minimize Loss
	  	  
 14.
	  	  
 The Insured shall use all reasonable
and usual care, skill and forethought in respect of all matters affecting this Policy, and shall take all practicable measures, including any measures requested by the Insurers, to prevent the occurrence of any Loss or minimize the amount of any
Loss that may occur or that has occurred. The obligation to prevent and minimize Loss applies both prior to and after the filing of a claim application and it includes, without limitation, the obligation to:

				
		  		  	 (1)
	  	 monitor overdue accounts by following the procedures for the collection of overdue accounts that are set out in the Credit Management Schedule or, if no such
procedures are set out in the Credit Management Schedule, by following the Insured’s own procedures;

	30-028-Globex-Quebec (0705)

 CURRENCY CONVERSIONS 
  
  

									
				
	 Declarations and premiums
	  	  
 18.
	  	  
 (1)
	  	  
 All declarations of goods Shipped and
all premium shall be expressed and paid in a Declaration Currency. For purposes of determining the amount to be declared and the premium to be paid when the Contract Currency is not a Declaration Currency, the Gross Invoice Value shall be converted
to its equivalent value in a Declaration Currency, at the rate applicable at the Insured’s bank for buying Declaration Currency with Contract Currency on the last business day of the Declaration Period in which the goods were
Shipped.

				
	 Claim payment
	  		  	 (2)
	  	 Claim payments shall be made in the Contract Currency if the Contract Currency is USD or CAD. If the Contract Currency is not USD or CAD, the claim
payment shall be made in the Policy Currency and, to determine the amount of the claim payment, the Loss amount shall be converted to the Policy Currency at the lesser of the daily noon mid-market rate for such conversions applicable at EDC’s
bank on:

					
		  		  		  	 (a)
	  	 the last business day of the calendar month in which the goods were Shipped; and

					
		  		  		  	 (b)
	  	 the date on which the Insured became entitled to receive a claim payment, as set out in Section 21.

				
	 Insurers’ Liability
	  		  	 (3)
	  	 For purposes of calculating each Insurer’s remaining exposure under any maximum liability amounts under the Policy, any claim payment made in a
currency other than the Policy Currency shall be converted to the Policy Currency at the daily noon mid-market rate for such conversions applicable at EDC’s bank on the last business day of the calendar month prior to the date of the claim
payment.

 LOSSES 
  
  

									
			
	 Computation of Loss
	  	 19.
	  	 The amount of a Loss that is covered by the Policy will be computed in the Contract Currency, and is the Gross Invoice Value of the goods Shipped
together with any additional Insurance, freight or other handling costs (exclusive of demurrage) that were incurred as a result of any interruption or diversion of delivery due to the occurrence of the Risk which resulted in the Loss,
less:

				
		  		  	 (1)
	  	 any amount which the Insured agrees the buyer is entitled to take into account by way of payment, credit, set-off or
counterclaim;

				
		  		  	 (2)
	  	 all amounts received, recovered or realized by or on behalf of the Insured on account of amounts payable by the buyer to the Insured in respect of
such goods, including any amount realized through sale or disposal of the goods; and

				
		  		  	 (3)
	  	 all costs that would normally have been incurred by the Insured in respect of such goods but which have not been incurred as a result of the
occurrence of the Risk.

  

	
	Page 7 of 14
	30-028-Globex-Quebec (0705)

							
		  		  		  	 Insurer will pay interest on the amount payable by the Insurer at the rate per annum quoted by EDC’s bank as its prime rate for the currency of the claim
payment, as of the day following the date the claim should have been paid, and such interest shall be calculated annually in arrears from, but excluding, 30 days after the later of: (i) the date the Insured is entitled to receive a claim payment,
(ii) the date when the Insurer received the claim application, and (iii) the date when the insurer received any requested additional information, to, and including, the date the claim is paid to the Insured and such interest is payable on the date
the claim is paid.

			
	 Claim payment return
	  	 25.
	  	 If an Insurer has paid a claim to the insured and:

				
		  		  	 (1)
	  	 the insurer becomes aware of information that would have entitled the Insurer not to pay the claim, including, without limitation, the fact that any of the
exclusions of the insurer’s liability set out in Section 8 or elsewhere in the Policy applied to the claim, or

				
		  		  	 (2)
	  	 the Insured fails to comply with its obligations under the Policy following a claim payment, the Insured shall, forthwith upon the Insurer’s demand, repay
the claim amount to the Insurer, with interest thereon at the rate per annum quoted by EDC’s bank as its prime rate for the currency of the claim payment, as of the date the claim was paid, and such interest shall be calculated annually in
arrears from, but excluding, the date the claim was paid, to, and including, the date the claim is repaid to the Insurer and such interest is payable on the date the claim is repaid.

			
	 Reservation of Rights
	  	 26.
	  	 The Insurers hereby expressly reserve all rights under the Policy. No action or failure to act by or on behalf of an insurer in connection with
investigating a claim or seeking to prevent or minimize a Loss, including, without limitation, the undertaking of investigations, discussions or negotiations with a buyer or any third parties, shall constitute a waiver by the insurer of any of its
rights under the Policy or prevent or estop the insurer from thereafter exercising any of its rights under the Policy including, without limitation, its right to deny liability or terminate the Policy.

	
	 RECOVERIES
  

				
	 Subrogation
	  	 27.
	  	 (1)
	  	 Subject to Subsection 27(2), upon the payment of a claim, the Insurer is subrogated to all the Insured’s rights against any person responsible for the Loss
up to the amount of the claim payment. The Insurer is entitled to take legal action against any person in order to exercise those subrogated rights.

				
		  		  	 (2)
	  	 The Insurer waives all rights of subrogation if the claim payment was made to a third party pursuant to the provisions of a Tripartite Agreement or a Direction
to Pay in circumstances in which the claim payment would not have been made directly to the Insured as a result of the application of Subsection 8(7).

				
	 Rights and Obligations of the Insured
	  	 28.
	  	 (1)
	  	 Where an Insurer pays a claim, the Insured may exercise its rights for the balance of its claim against the buyer for which the Insured has not been indemnified
by the Insurer, in preference to the Insurer.

	 Insurers’ Access
 to Information
	  	  
 33.
	  	  
 The Insured shall provide the Insurers
with all information relating to any matter under this Policy that is in the possession of the Insured or an Affiliate. The Insurers may, at any time, examine and make copies of all letters, communications, accounts or other documents that relate to
the Policy, that are in the possession or control of the Insured or an Affiliate. The Insured shall take all reasonable steps to allow the Insurers to obtain any information or to review any document that relates to the Policy and that is in the
possession of any other person.

			
	 Contract of
 Insurance
	  	  
 34.
	  	  
 These General Terms and Conditions and
all endorsements hereto, the Coverage Certificate, the Credit Management Schedule, the Country Schedule, the Credit Approvals (all such documents collectively constituting the “Policy”), and the Application on which the Policy is based,
constitute the entire contract of insurance between the Insurers and the Insured. Except as expressly provided for in the Policy, any statements, undertakings or agreements between the parties other than what is contained in this Policy, the
Application, or a written agreement entered into between the Insurers and the Insured after the issuance and acceptance of the Policy, shall not form part of, or be deemed to be part of, this contract of insurance.

			
	  
 Notice
	  	  
 35.
	  	  
 Every notice, demand, request,
consent, approval, waiver or agreement to be given or made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the other party by hand, sent by mail, or transmitted by fax or e-mail, and shall be deemed to have been given and received, if
delivered by hand, upon delivery, if sent by mail, the earlier of actual receipt and seven days after posting, and if transmitted by fax or e-mail, the date of transmission, in each case excluding Saturday, Sunday and any national or statutory
holiday when the offices of the receiving party are closed for business. The mailing address, fax number and e-mail address of the Insurers and the Insured for purposes of the Policy are those specified in the Coverage Certificate or such other
addresses or fax numbers as to which the Insurers or the Insured may from time to time notify the other.

			
	 Observance of
 Policy Conditions
	  	  
 36.
	  	  
 The due performance of the
Insured’s duties and obligations under the Policy, at the time stipulated for such performance, shall be a condition precedent to any liability of the Insurers for the payment of a claim. No failure on the part of an Insurer to exercise and no
delay in exercising any right under this Policy shall operate as a waiver thereof. Any waiver by an Insurer of the strict compliance by the Insured with its duties and obligations under the Policy shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent
failure by the Insured to comply with such duties and obligations.

				
	 Termination
	  	37.
	  	(1)	  	 Each party shall have the right to terminate this Policy upon giving the other party 60 days’ prior written notice to that effect.

				
		  		  	(2)	  	 An Insurer shall have the right to terminate this Policy on 15 days’ notice to the Insured if the Insured defaults in the due performance of its duties or
obligations under the Policy, unless such default is cured or remedied by the Insured within such 15 day notice period.

				
		  		  	(3)	  	 An Insurer shall have the right to terminate this Policy immediately on notice to the Insured if the Insured, an agent of the Insured, an Affiliate or an agent
of an Affiliate has engaged in or knowingly been party to any action, in relation to any contract of sale insured under the Policy, that is prohibited by Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act or by the criminal laws dealing
with the bribery of public officials that are applicable in a country in which any such agent or Affiliate is located.

 This Endorsement forms part of the Policy. 
 Coverage is provided to the Insured in respect of the Insured’s interest in the sales made by its wholly-owned Foreign Subsidiary, as defined below. 
 Therefore, without in any way restricting the application of the terms and conditions of the Policy except as hereinafter expressly provided
and solely for purposes of determining the terms and conditions of such insurance coverage, the Policy is amended as follows: 
  

	 	 1.
	 The Insured’s insurance coverage and the conditions and limitations of such cover that apply in respect of the sales made by the Insured shall
also apply in respect of the sales made by the Foreign Subsidiary as though, for purposes of the Policy, the Foreign Subsidiary were the Insured. The Insured shall make declarations and pay premium in respect of the sales of the

Loss, including, without limitation, at the request of the Insurer: (i) to institute legal proceedings against any person to recover any amounts owed to the Foreign Subsidiary in respect of the Loss, or (ii) to

amount of the Loss, including: 

  

	 	 a)
	 to institute legal proceedings against any person to recover any amounts owed in respect of such Loss; 

  

	 	 b)
	 to provide the Insurer with any authorizations and documentation necessary to permit the Insurer to give instructions on behalf of the Insured, or
to institute legal proceedings in the name of the Insured in respect of the exercise of any legal rights or remedies available to the Insured with respect to the recovery of the Loss, including, without limitation, the granting of a power of

	 	 c)
	 to transfer and assign to the Insurer all right, title and interest (or any part thereof) in all amounts owed in respect of such Loss, or any
security in respect thereof, without giving notice of any such assignment except as may be directed in writing by the Insurer. 

 The Insurer shall not be liable for the payment of a claim for a Loss in respect of such contract of sale if the Insured fails to cause the Foreign Subsidiary to take the steps requested by
the Insurer, as set out above. 
 If an Insurer has paid a claim and the Insured subsequently fails to cause the
Foreign Subsidiary to take all steps necessary or expedient to recover the amount of the Loss, or fails to take the steps requested by the Insurer to be taken by the Insured to effect recovery, as set out above or if the Insured fails
to take, at the Insurer’s request, the steps described above, the Insured shall forthwith upon the Insurer’s demand repay the claim payment to the Insurer. 
 If the Foreign Subsidiary or the Insured, or any third party on behalf of either of them, recovers any amount in respect of the Loss, the Insured shall pay to the
Insurer an amount equivalent to that proportion of such recovered amount which is equal to the proportion of the Loss that was paid by the Insurer. 
  

	 	 3.
	 Coverage of the sales of the Foreign Subsidiary is provided on condition that the Foreign Subsidiary is at all times a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Insured. 

 The Insured shall advise the Insurers if, after the date of
issuance of this Endorsement, there is any change to the information provided to the Insurers by the Insured relating to coverage of the sales of the Foreign Subsidiary such as a change in the ownership or location of the Foreign
Subsidiary, or a material decrease in the percentage of goods sold by the Foreign Subsidiary which are manufactured in Canada by the Insured.

	 Issued: May 24th, 2006

	
	 Effective: September 1st, 2006

	
	 Reference Number: 1

 This Schedule sets out the procedures that the Insured must follow to establish
Credit Limits for buyers, and describes the insured’s obligation as to how to follow up on overdue accounts. This Schedule forms part of the Policy and, as of its effective date, it replaces any previous Credit Management Schedule. 

KEY DEFINITIONS 
  
  

			
	 Credit Limit
	  	 means the maximum amount of Loss that the Insured may sustain in respect of any individual buyer and still obtain the maximum Insurance Percentage under the
Policy.

		
	 Credit Approval
	  	 means a notice given by the Insurers to the Insured stating the amount of the Credit Limit for a buyer or group of buyers and stipulating any specific
conditions or changes to the insurance coverage applicable to sales to that buyer or group of buyers.

		
	 Discretionary Credit Limit
	  	 means the maximum Credit Limit that the Insured may establish, without contacting the Insurers, by using one of the methods for establishing such a Credit
Limit set out in this Credit Management Schedule.

 OBLIGATIONS OF THE INSURED 
  
  

	 •
	 	 The Insured must establish and maintain a Credit Limit for all buyers by using one of the methods set out in Section 1 below or by requesting a
Credit Approval from the Insurers (See Section 2, below). 

  

	 •
	 	 The Credit Limit should be equal to or greater than the amount owed by the buyer to the Insured. 

  

	 •
	 	 The Insured must take appropriate action to follow up on overdue accounts, including those set out in Section 3, below.

 Section 1        DISCRETIONARY CREDIT LIMITS

  
 Depending on the
size of the Credit Limit required, there are various methods that the insured can use to establish a Credit Limit for a buyer without contacting the Insures. The Insured may use only one method for each buyer. 
  
 However, the Discretionary Credit Limits for the buyers located in some countries are limited to the amount indicated in the adjacent table no matter what amount is obtained by
using the methods set out below.

 THE METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING A CREDIT LIMIT ARE AS FOLLOWS: 
  
  

					
	 Method 1
	  	 The Insured’s own experience – Up to 125% of the highest amount of credit that the Insured has extended to the buyer on similar terms that
was promptly paid during the twelve month period before the date coverage for the transaction with the buyer begins.

			
		  	 Maximum Credit Limit using Method 1:
	  	 USD 500,000

		
	 Method 2
	  	 Written Credit Information – Favourable written information provided by a recognized credit information agency or a bank which supports the
extension of credit for the amount of the sale. The information cannot be dated more than twelve months before the date coverage for the transaction with the buyer begins.

			
		  	 Maximum Credit Limit using Method 2
	  	 USD 500,000

		
	 Method 3
	  	 Financial Statements & Written Credit information – favourable Financial Statements in combination with favourable written credit
information of the buyer which support the extension of credit for the amount of the sale. The fiscal year end of the statements cannot be more than eighteen months before the date coverage for the transaction with the buyer begins. The written
credit information cannot be dated more than twelve months before the date coverage for the transaction with the buyer begins.

			
		  	 Maximum Credit Limit using Method 3:

 Whereas the Insured was previously insured under Policy No. GG 1 22818 issued by EDC and St. Paul Guarantee Insurance Company (the “Old
Policy”) which terminated as of the day before the Coverage Effective Date of this Policy;

to clarify the application of Credit Limits and to confirm, for greater certainty, that a Credit Limit for a buyer shall not be the aggregate of: (i) the Credit Limit for the buyer under the Old Policy (as the term Credit Limit is defined in
the Old Policy), and (ii) the Credit Limit for the buyer under this Policy; 
 And whereas any claim with respect to
receivables insured under the Old Policy shall be determined by reference to the Credit Limit for the buyer under the Old Policy; 
 Therefore, without in any way restricting the application of the terms and conditions of the Policy except as hereinafter expressly provided and solely for purposes of determining the Credit Limit for a buyer, the Policy is amended to
provide that the Credit Limit for a buyer under this Policy shall be reduced by an amount equal to: (i) any claims paid in respect of the buyer for receivables insured under the Old Policy, and (ii) any amount owing by such buyer to the
Insured in respect of receivables insured under the Old Policy.

 DECLARATIONS AND PAYMENT OF PREMIUM 
 This Endorsement forms part of the Policy. It cancels and replaces any
DECLARATIONS AND PAYMENT OF PREMIUM Endorsement which may have been previously issued. 
 The Insured and the Insurers have
agreed to amend the Policy to provide for: (i) an annual premium payable in quarterly installments, and (ii) premium adjustments based on liability incurred by the Insurers for a Policy Period. 
 Therefore, without in any way restricting the application of the terms and conditions of the Policy except as hereinafter expressly
provided, the Policy is amended as follows: 
  

	 	 “1.
	 In respect of each Policy Period, the Insured shall pay an annual premium of USD 2,023,000 (USD 96,295 of which shall be allocated for risks in
Ontario and USD 67,973 of which shall be allocated for risks in Quebec), plus USD 7,704 as Ontario provincial sales tax on the portion of the premium allocated for risks in Ontario and USD 6,118 as Quebec provincial sales tax on the
portion of the premium allocated for risks in Quebec, for a total of USD 2,036,822. 

  

	 	 2.
	 For each Policy Period, the total amount set out in section 1 of this Endorsement shall be payable in four equal installments on or before the 20
th day of the month following the end of each Declaration
Period. 

  

	 	 3.
	 The premium set out in section 1 of this Endorsement, above, is based on the Insurers not becoming liable to pay claims in respect of goods Shipped
during each Policy Period in an aggregate amount exceeding USD 400,000. If the Insurers become liable to pay claims for Loss in respect of goods Shipped during a Policy Period for an aggregate amount: 

  

	 	 (a)
	 greater than USD 400,000 and not exceeding USD 800,000, the Insured shall pay an additional premium of USD 144,500;

	 	 (e)

	 	 (f)
	 greater than USD 4,000,000, the Insured shall pay an additional premium of USD 1,292,000. 

 Such additional premium is payable upon demand as soon as the threshold set out above is met or exceeded. The payment of the
additional premium is a condition precedent to any liability of the Insurers for the payment of a claim or the allocation of an amount to any Deductible. The Insurers reserve the right to deduct any such additional premium from any claim payment
made in respect of the Policy. 
  

	 	 4.
	 No later than June 30 of each Policy Period, the Insured shall provide the Insurers with its total actual sales figures for that Policy Period,
in writing, by country and by province. 

  

	 	 5.
	 In the event the Policy is terminated pursuant to Section 37, the Insured shall pay a pro-rata premium equal to the applicable annual premium
amount payable in accordance with section 1 or 3 of this Endorsement divided by 365 days, multiplied by the number of days from the date following the end of the last Declaration Period for which premium was paid, up to and including the date of
termination of the Policy, (the “Pro-Rata Premium”). The Pro-Rata Premium and all applicable taxes, will be payable no later than the 20th day of the month following the date of termination of the Policy.”

 BOYCOTT

 This Endorsement forms part of the Policy. 
 The Government of Canada finds unacceptable certain activities which would, in connection with the provisions of any international economic boycott, require Canadian firms or individuals to engage in
certain actions that may have a discriminatory effect, and it will deny its support and assistance to transactions entered into by those firms and individuals who accept boycott provisions in contravention of government policy. 
 Export Development Canada follows the Government’s policy on boycotts for the transactions that it supports. 
 Coverage is therefore not provided under the Policy for any sales contract that, in connection with the provisions of any international
economic boycott: 
  

	 	 (1)
	 requires the Insured to: 

  

	 	 (a)
	 engage in discrimination based on the race, national or ethnic origin or religion of any Canadian firm or individual; 

 

	 	 (b)
	 refuse to purchase from or sell to any Canadian firm or individual; 

  

	 	 (c)
	 restrict its commercial investments or other economic activities in any country; 

  

	 	 (d)
	 produce any document (sometimes called a ‘negative certificate of origin’) which says that particular goods or services have not
originated from specific firms or places; or 

  

	 	 (e)
	 refuse to sell any Canadian goods and services to, or buy any goods or services from any country, except that a buyer may specify that goods

 CREDIT
LIMIT FOR ILC SALES (CONFIRMED & UNCONFIRMED ILC) 
 This Endorsement forms part of the Policy. 
 The parties have agreed to amend the Policy to provide insurance coverage for sales contracts requiring payment to be made by irrevocable
letters of credit (“ILCs”) issued or confirmed by a bank approved by the Insurers. 
 Therefore, without in any way
restricting the application of the terms and conditions of the Policy except as hereinafter expressly provided and solely for purposes of determining the terms and conditions of such insurance coverage, the Policy is amended as follows: 

 

	 	 “1.
	 “Bank” means a bank which has issued or confirmed an ILC issued to the Insured as the payment mechanism for the Insured’s
sales; 

 “Bank Approval” means a notice given by the Insurers to the Insured
with respect to a Bank stipulating specific terms and the amount of the Credit Limit for the Bank and any specific conditions or changes to the insurance coverage applicable to Eligible Contracts that require payment by
an ILC issued or confirmed by such Bank; and 
 “Credit Limit” means the maximum amount
of Loss that the Insured may sustain to obtain maximum coverage under the Policy in respect of a Bank for all the Eligible Contracts that require payment by an ILC issued or confirmed by the Bank. 
  

	 	 2.
	 The definition of Gross Invoice Value is hereby amended by deleting the reference to amounts to be paid by irrevocable letters of credit.

  

	 	 3.
	 A contract of sale to be entirely paid by an ILC which was in the possession of the Insured at the time the goods were Shipped is an
Excluded Contract if no Bank Approval was issued by the Insurers in respect of the Bank that issued or confirmed the ILC. 

  

	 	 4.
	 The provision of the Policy providing for a declining Insurance Percentage applicable in certain circumstances is hereby amended by replacing
the references to “buyer” and “Credit Approval” with references to “Bank” and “Bank Approval”, respectively. 

  

	 	 5.
	 The following risk is added to the Policy as a Risk covered by both EDC

and Coface: 

 “failure of the
Bank to pay any amount that the Bank is legally obligated to pay to the Insured under the ILC issued as the payment mechanism for the Eligible Contract,”. 
  

	 	 6.
	 In order for this Policy to apply to a sale that requires payment by an ILC, the Country Schedule must provide that such coverage applies in the
country where the buyer is located and the Insured must establish a Credit Limit for the Bank by obtaining a Bank Approval. 

  

	 	 7.
	 The Insurers shall not be liable for the payment of a claim for Loss if: 

  

	 	 (a)
	 any right, title or interest of the Insured under the Eligible Contract or the ILC has been assigned by the Insured to any person other than
the Insurer, unless the assignment was by way of security only and the assignee has executed and delivered to the Insured a reassignment and release in respect thereof in form and substance satisfactory to the Insurer; or

  

	 	 (b)
	 the Insured has not strictly complied with all the terms and conditions of the ILC.”

TO CANADIAN BUYERS INVOLVING FOREIGN COUNTRIES 
 This Endorsement forms part of the Policy. 
 Insurance coverage for sales to buyers located in Canada shall be provided by EDC instead of Coface if the goods are Shipped or to be
Shipped by the Insured directly to a third party located outside Canada, although invoiced to the Canadian buyer. 
 Therefore, without in any way restricting the application of the terms and conditions of the Policy except as hereinafter expressly provided and solely for purposes of determining the terms and conditions of such insurance coverage, the
Policy is amended as follows: 
  

	 	 “1.
	 Notwithstanding the definition of “Domestic Loss”, a loss sustained by the Insured under an Eligible Contract with a buyer
located in Canada shall be considered to be an Export Loss and will be covered by EDC instead of Coface if the goods are Shipped by the Insured directly to a third party outside Canada. 

  

	 	 2.
	 The third party must not be located in any country with which Canadian companies are prohibited by law from dealing.

 SECTION 2.
LOANS 
 2.1. Term Loan. 
 (a) Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, on the Closing Date, a Term Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender's Term Loan Commitment. The Borrower may make
only one borrowing hereunder, which shall be on the Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.13(a) and 2.14, all amounts owed hereunder with
respect to the Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. Each Lender's Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender's Term
Loan Commitment on such date. 
 (b) Borrowing Mechanics for Term Loans. 
 (i) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than three Business Days prior to the
Closing Date. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such Funding Notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. 
 (ii) Each Lender shall make its Term Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
Closing Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the
Term Loans available to Borrower on the Closing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Term Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Borrower at the
Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower. 
 2.2. [Reserved]. 
 2.3. [Reserved]. 
 2.4. [Reserved]. 
 2.5. Pro
Rata Shares; Availability of Funds. 
  
 35 
  

 (a) Pro Rata Shares. All Term Loans shall be made, and
all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a
Term Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Term Loan Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Term Loan
requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby. 
 (b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall
have been notified by any Lender prior to the Closing Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender's Term Loan requested on the Closing Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on the Closing Date. If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the
Closing Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay
such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent's demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon,
for each day from the Closing Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to
fulfill its Term Loan Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 2.6. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be applied by Borrower to (i) refinance and cash collateralize Existing Refinanced Indebtedness, and (ii) pay fees,
commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No portion of the proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Term Loans or the
application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act. 
 2.7. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders' Books and Records; Term Loan Notes. 
 (a) Lenders' Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower
to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make
any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower's Obligations in respect of any applicable Term Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's
records, the recordations in the Register shall govern. 
  
 36

  

 (b) Register. Administrative Agent (or
its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and Term Loans of each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The Register shall be
available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be
recorded, in the Register the Term Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on
Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower's Obligations in respect of any Term Loan. Borrower hereby designates GSCP to
serve as Borrower's agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.7, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent GSCP serves in such capacity, GSCP and its officers, directors, employees, agents,
sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute "Indemnitees." 
 (c) Term Loan Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to
Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any
Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrower's receipt of such notice) a Term Loan Note or Term Loan Notes to evidence
such Lender's Term Loan. 
 2.8. Interest on Loans. 
 (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Term Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows: 
 (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin; or 
 (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the
Applicable Margin. 
 (b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to the Term Loans and the Interest Period with
respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be selected by Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be; provided, until the earlier of
(i) the date on which Syndication Agent notifies Borrower that the primary syndication of the Term Loans has been completed, as determined by Syndication Agent, and (ii) 90 days following the Closing Date, the Term Loans shall be
maintained as either (1) Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period of no longer than one month or (2) Base Rate Loans. If on any day a Term Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been
delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Term Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. 
  
 37 
  

 (c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods
outstanding at any time. In the event Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the Funding Notice or the applicable Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Term Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will
be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Term Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the
event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the Funding Notice or the applicable Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable
after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall
apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender.

 (d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day
or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Term
Loan, the date of the making of such Term Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan or the last Interest Payment Date or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of
conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate
Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Term Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one
day's interest shall be paid on that Term Loan. 
 (e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on the Term Loans (i) shall
accrue on a daily basis on and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date, (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment
of that Term Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on the Maturity Date; provided, however, with respect to any
voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date. 
 2.9.
Conversion/Continuation. 
 (a) Subject to Section 2.18 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then
be continuing, Borrower shall have the option: 
 (i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan equal to
$5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be 
  
 38 
  

 converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under
Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion; or 
 (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable
to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan. 
 (b) Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business
Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a
Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related
Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. 
 2.10.
Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), the principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the
Term Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under applicable Insolvency Laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the
interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Term Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans);
provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall
thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this
Section 2.10 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender. 
 2.11. Fees. 
 (a) Borrower agrees
to pay on the Closing Date to each Lender party to this Agreement as a Lender on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender's Loan, a closing fee in an amount equal to 4.00% of the stated principal amount of such Lender's
Loan, payable to such Lender from the proceeds of its Loan as and when funded on the Closing Date. Such closing fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.

 (b) In addition to the foregoing fee, the Borrower agrees to pay to Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately
agreed upon.

 in each case given to Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to
Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for the Term Loans by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Term Loans

 2.14. Mandatory Prepayments.

 (b) Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Term Loans are outstanding, in the
event Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a "Waivable Mandatory Prepayment") of the Term Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the "Required Prepayment Date") on which Borrower is required to
make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender's option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or
before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the
Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment
payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.15(a)). 
 (c) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied first to
Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(c). 
  
 42 
  

 2.16. General Provisions Regarding Payments. 
 (a) All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, recoupment,
setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. 
 (b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being
repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before
application to principal. 
 (c) Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender
at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender's applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with
respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any
Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments
received thereafter. 
 (e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of "Interest Period", whenever any payment to be made
hereunder with respect to any Term Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of
interest hereunder. 
 (f) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge Borrower's accounts with Administrative Agent or any
of Administrative Agent's Affiliates in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).
Following each such charge, Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify Borrower thereof. 
 (g) Administrative Agent shall
deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent
until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any
payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment
is made until such funds become available funds (but in no 
  
 43

  

 event less than the period from the date of such payment to the
next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.10 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full. 
 (h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant
to Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by any Agent hereunder or under any Collateral Document in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 8.2.

 2.17. Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with
respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof),
through the exercise of any right of set-off, consolidation or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash
collateral under the Insolvency Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively,
the "Aggregate Amounts Due" to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall
(a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation
simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate
Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases
shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees
that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed
the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.17 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or
(b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it. 
 2.18. Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest
Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that
by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market 
  
 44 
  

 adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining
the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each
Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower. 
 (b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become
unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force
of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the
position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an "Affected Lender" and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and Administrative Agent
of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter, (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended
until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to the Funding Notice or a
Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender's obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar
Rate Loans (the "Affected Loans") shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower
pursuant to the Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c), to rescind the Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice
(by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall
promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.18(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to
convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 (c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of
Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and 
  
 45 
  

 liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate
Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a
default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a
date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date
prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower. 
 (d) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its
branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender. 
 (e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit
bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (II)(i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through
the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner
it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19. 
 2.19. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 
 (a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration
or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance
by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its
applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to
such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other
reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar 
  
 46 
  

 requirement against assets held by, or deposits or
other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate
Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder
or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable
lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a
different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such
Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.19(a), which statement
shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
 (b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that
any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements, or similar requirements,
or any change therein or in the interpretation, application or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, application or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements, or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Loans or participations therein or other
obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into
consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within ten days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence,
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-Tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent)
a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.19(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

 2.20. Taxes; Withholding, Etc. 
 (a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and
without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, 
  
 47 
  

 withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America, Canada or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America, Canada or any other
jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America, Canada or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment. 
 (b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such
Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon
as Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability
is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or
payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including any deduction, withholding or payment in respect of such increase in the sum payable),
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any
sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence
satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority. 
 (c) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Backup Withholding. Each Lender that is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c) shall deliver to Administrative Agent and
Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BEN (or, in each case, any successor form),
properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender required to deliver any
forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates
or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for
transmission to Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BEN (or, in each case, any successor form) as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender. 
 (d) Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of Taxes arising in connection with payments made under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20), other than any Tax on the overall
net income of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, paid by the 
  
 48 
  

 Administrative Agent or such Lender, 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
Borrower by such 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. 
 (e) Survivability. The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment in full of all amounts due hereunder and under the Notes. 
 2.21. Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender
agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or
that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts
to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances
which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be materially reduced and if, as
determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or
the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender as a result
of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such
Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 2.22. [Reserved]. 

2.23. Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any
Lender (an "Increased-Cost Lender") shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such
Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Borrower's request for such withdrawal; or
(b) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the
consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a "Non-Consenting Lender") whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the "Terminated
Lender"), Borrower may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated 
  
 49 
  

 Lender of
its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a "Replacement Lender") in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.6 and Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, (1) on the date of such
assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, and (B) an amount equal
to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c),
2.19 or 2.20; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such
Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender" for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender
to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender shall,
promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 10.6. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the
immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in
accordance with Section 10.6 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to
Section 10.6. 
 2.24. Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the
Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a period of
time other than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by actual number of days is such other period of time. 
 SECTION 3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

 SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Term Loans on the Closing Date, each Credit Party represents and warrants to each Lender, on and as of the Closing Date, that the following
statements are true and correct (it being understood and agreed that the representations and warranties made on and as of the Closing Date are deemed to be made concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions): 
 4.1. Organization; Requisite Power and Authority; Qualification. Each Abitibi Entity (a) is duly organized, validly existing and (other than
each UK Credit Party) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization as identified in Schedule 4.1, (b) has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted
and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and (c) is qualified to do business and (other than each UK Credit Party) in good standing in
every jurisdiction where its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, and could not be reasonably expected to
have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.2. Equity Interests and Ownership. The Equity Interests of each Abitibi Entity has been duly
authorized and validly issued, and is fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, as of the date hereof, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which any Abitibi Entity is a party
requiring, and there are no Equity Interests of any Abitibi Entity outstanding which upon conversion or exchange would require the issuance by any Abitibi Entity of any additional Equity Interests of any Abitibi Entity or other Securities
convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase Equity Interests of any Abitibi Entity. Schedule 4.2 correctly sets forth the ownership interest of each Abitibi Entity in their respective Subsidiaries as
of the Closing Date both before and after giving effect to the Related Transactions. 
 4.3. Due Authorization. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Credit Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Credit Party that is a party thereto. 
 4.4. No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not
and will not (a) violate (i) any material provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation applicable to any Abitibi Entity, (ii) any of the Organizational Documents of any Abitibi Entity, or (iii) any material order,
judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on any Abitibi Entity; (b) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any 
  
 56 
  

 material Contractual Obligation of any Abitibi Entity; (c) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon
any of the properties or assets of any Abitibi Entity (other than any Liens created under any of the Credit Documents in favor of Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties); or (d) require any approval or consent of stockholders,
members or partners or any approval or consent of any Person under any material Contractual Obligation of any Abitibi Entity, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the Closing Date and set forth in Schedule 4.4.

 4.5. Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are
parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority, except for
filings and recordings with respect to the Collateral to be made, or otherwise delivered to Collateral Agent for filing and/or recordation, as of the Closing Date. No Credit Party's accounts are subject to any of the requirements or proceedings
applicable to assignments of accounts under the Financial Administration Act (Canada) or any other similar law. 
 4.6. Binding
Obligation. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its
respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. 
 4.7. Historical Financial Statements. The Historical Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all
material respects, the financial position, on a combined consolidated basis, of the Persons described in such financial statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a combined consolidated basis, of
the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end adjustments. As of the Closing Date, no Abitibi Entity has any
contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the Historical Financial Statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case is material in relation to the
business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Abitibi Entities taken as a whole. 
 4.8. Projections. On and as of the Closing Date, the projections of the Abitibi Entities for the period of Fiscal Year 2008 through and including Fiscal Year 2009 (the "Projections") are based on good faith estimates and
assumptions made by the management of Holdings, the Borrower and Donohue; provided, the Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from such Projections
and that the differences may be material; provided further, as of the Closing Date, management of Holdings, the Borrower and Donohue believed that the Projections were reasonable and attainable. 
  
 57 
  

 4.9. No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2007, no event, circumstance or change has
occurred that has caused or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.10. No Restricted Junior
Payments. Since December 31, 2007, no Abitibi Entity has directly or indirectly declared, ordered, paid or made, or set apart any sum or property for, any Restricted Junior Payment or agreed to do so except as permitted pursuant to
Section 6.4. 
 4.11. Adverse Proceedings, Etc. There are no Adverse Proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and, to the knowledge of any Abitibi Entity, there are no facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such Adverse Proceedings. No Abitibi Entity (a) is
in violation of any applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments,
writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or any federal, state, provincial, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.12. Tax Matters. Except as otherwise permitted under
Section 5.3, all federal and other material Tax returns and reports of the Abitibi Entities required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all federal and other material Taxes shown on such Tax returns and reports to be due and
payable and all assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Abitibi Entities and upon their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and payable. Holdings and
Donohue know of no proposed material Tax assessment against any Abitibi Entity which is not being actively contested by such Abitibi Entity in good faith and by appropriate proceedings; provided, such reserves or other appropriate provisions,
if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made or provided therefor. Borrower is classified as a foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. Borrower is not engaged in a trade or business in the
United States and does not have gross income treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. 
 4.13. Properties. 
 (a) Title. Each Abitibi Entity has (i) good, sufficient and legal title to (in the case of
fee interests in real property), (ii) valid leasehold interests in (in the case of leasehold interests in real or personal property), (iii) valid licensed rights in (in the case of licensed interests in real or intellectual property) and
(iv) good title to (in the case of all other personal property) all of their respective properties and assets reflected in their respective Historical Financial Statements referred to in Section 4.7 and in the most recent financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, in each case except for assets disposed of since the date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted under Section 6.8. Except as permitted by
this Agreement, all such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens. 
  
 58 
  

 (b) Real
Estate. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.13 contains a true, accurate and complete list of (i) all Real Estate Assets (including locations of all newsprint, paper and pulp plants, saw mills, hydro assets and timberlands, and all
locations of Collateral), and (ii) all leases, subleases, licenses or assignments of leases, subleases, or licenses (together with all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any thereof) affecting each Real Estate
Asset of any Credit Party, regardless of whether such Credit Party is the landlord (licensor) or tenant (licensee) (whether directly or as an assignee or successor in interest) under such lease, sublease, license or assignment. Each agreement listed
in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is in full force and effect, and Holdings, Borrower and Donohue do not have knowledge of any default that has occurred and is continuing thereunder, and each such agreement constitutes the
legally valid and binding obligation of each applicable Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles. 
 (c) Liens. All Liens purported to be created in
any Collateral pursuant to any Collateral Document in favor of Collateral Agent are First Priority Liens, and the Collateral subject thereto is subject to no other Lien other than Liens permitted pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g),
(h), (i), (j), (n), (r), (s), (t), (v), (w) and (y) of Section 6.2. 
 4.14. Environmental Matters. 
 (a) No Abitibi Entity nor any of their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement
agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Abitibi Entity has
received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604 et seq.) or any comparable state law with respect to any
environmental condition that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are and, to each Abitibi Entity's knowledge, have been no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be
expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against any Abitibi Entity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Abitibi Entity is in compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws, which compliance includes obtaining, maintaining and complying with any Governmental Authorizations required under all applicable Environmental Laws necessary to operate its business, except for any non-compliance that,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Abitibi Entity has been issued or been required to obtain a Governmental Authorization for the treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste for
any of its Facilities pursuant to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. § 6901 et. seq.) ("RCRA"), or any comparable Environmental Law, nor are any such Facilities regulated as "interim status" facilities required
to undergo corrective action pursuant to RCRA or any comparable state law. Compliance with all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws could not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in
the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to any Abitibi Entity relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials or any Hazardous Materials Activity or 

 
 59 
  

 which is reasonably likely to give rise to any liability or responsibility pursuant to any Environmental Law, in either case which
individually or in the aggregate has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Each Credit Party
hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Agent, Lender or other Secured Party: (i) is now, or has ever (A) owned, occupied or been in charge, management or control of any Facility, or (B) been in charge, management or control of any
Credit Party's affairs or operations, or (ii) has or has ever had the capacity or the authority through the provisions of the Credit Documents or otherwise to direct or influence any (A) Credit Party's conduct with respect to the
ownership, operation or management of any Facility, (B) undertaking, work or task performed by any employee, agent or contractor of any Credit Party or the manner in which such undertaking, work or task may be carried out or performed, or
(C) compliance with Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits. 
 4.15. No Defaults. No Abitibi Entity is in default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a
default on the part of an Abitibi Entity, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.16. Material Contracts. Schedule 4.16 contains a true, correct and complete list of all the Material Contracts in effect on the Closing
Date, and except as described thereon, all such Material Contracts are in full force and effect and no defaults currently exist thereunder. 
 4.17. Governmental Regulation. No Abitibi Entity is subject to any law or government regulation or control, including under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940, which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness
or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. No Abitibi Entity is a "registered investment company" or a company "controlled" by a "registered investment company" or a "principal underwriter" of a "registered
investment company" as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 4.18. Margin Stock. The Credit Parties are
not engaged, and will not engage, principally or as one of their important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the
Term Loans made to Borrower will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin
Stock or for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors. Not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the Borrower only or of the Abitibi Entities on a consolidated
basis) are Margin Stock. 
 4.19. Employee Matters. No Abitibi Entity is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint or other labor proceeding (including certification) or complaint pending against any Abitibi Entity, or to the best knowledge of Holdings and
Donohue, 
  
 60 
 

 threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board or a labor board of any other
jurisdiction, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is pending against any Abitibi Entity or, to the best knowledge of Holdings and Donohue, threatened against any of them and there is
no Abitibi Entity in violation of any collective agreement, in each case which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened
involving any Abitibi Entity which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) to the best knowledge of Holdings and Donohue, no union representation question existing with respect
to the employees of any Abitibi Entity and, to the best knowledge of Holdings and Donohue, no union organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, either
individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. All material payments due from any Canadian Credit Party for employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the
books of such Canadian Credit Party and such Canadian Credit Party has withheld and remitted all employee withholdings to be withheld or remitted by it and has made all employer contributions to be made by it, in each case, pursuant to applicable
law on account of the Canada Pension Plan and Québec Pension Plan maintained by the Government of Canada and the Province of Québec, respectively, employment insurance, employee income taxes, and any other required payroll deduction.

 4.20. Employee Benefit Plans. 
 (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.20: (i) each Abitibi Entity and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue
Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan, except where the failure to so comply or perform could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status; (iii) no
material liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by any Abitibi Entity;
(iv) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (v) except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws or as required under any collective bargaining agreement, no
Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of any Abitibi Entity or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates; (vi) the present value of the
aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by any Abitibi Entity or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions
specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan; (vii) as of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan
for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of the Abitibi Entities and their respective 
  
 61 
  

 ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability
for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero; and (viii) each Abitibi Entity and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of
Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material "default" (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan. 
 (b) In respect of each Canadian Credit Party, the Pension Plans are duly registered under all applicable laws which require registration (including the
Income Tax Act (Canada)) and no event has occurred which is reasonably likely to cause the loss of such registered status. All material obligations of each Canadian Credit Party (including fiduciary, contribution, funding, investment and
administration obligations) required to be performed in connection with the Employee Benefit Plans, the Pension Plans and any funding agreements therefor under the terms thereof and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, have been
performed in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof. All employer and employee payments, contributions, and premiums required to be remitted or paid to or in respect of the Pension Plans and the Employee Benefit Plans have been paid
or remitted in accordance with their respective terms and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. There have been no improper withdrawals or applications of the assets of the Pension Plans or the Employee Benefit Plans. There are no
material outstanding disputes concerning the assets or liabilities of the Pension Plans or the Employee Benefit Plans. There is no Pension Plan in respect of which an event has occurred that could require immediate or accelerated funding in respect
of unfunded liabilities or other deficit amounts. 
 (c) There are no liabilities with, or arising from, any UK Credit Party participating
in, providing, or contributing to, either currently or in the past, or ceasing to provide or contribute to, or in respect of, any scheme or arrangement for the provision of any pension, superannuation, retirement (including on early retirement) or
death benefits (including in the form of a lump sum) (the benefits together referred to as "Pension Benefits") or providing, or being obliged to provide, or failing to provide, any Pension Benefits, which are not fully funded, insured or
provided for on a generally accepted basis either through a separate trust, insurance policy or as an accrual or provision in the accounts of the relevant UK Credit Party.

in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates
and assumptions believed by Holdings, Borrower or Donohue to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods
covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to Holdings, Borrower or Donohue (other than matters of a general economic nature)
that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby.

political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977,
as amended. 
 4.27. UK Credit Parties; Canadian Credit Parties; U.S. Credit Parties. (a) Neither the execution, delivery and
performance of any of the Credit Documents, nor the incurrence of any obligations or liabilities thereunder by the UK Credit Parties constitutes or will constitute unlawful financial assistance for the purposes of Sections 151 to 158 (inclusive) of
the Companies Act of 1985 of England and Wales, as amended or otherwise re-enacted from time to time. No UK Credit Party has ever participated in a UK defined benefit pension plan or been associated or connected with the employer in relation to a UK

Section 5.1 or otherwise are being distributed through IntraLinks/IntraAgency, SyndTrak or another relevant website or other information platform (the "Platform"), any document or notice that Holdings or Donohue has indicated contains
Non-Public Information shall not be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. Holdings and Donohue agree to clearly designate all Information provided to Administrative Agent by or on behalf of Holdings or
Donohue which is suitable to make available to Public Lenders. If Holdings or Donohue has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1 contains Non-Public Information, Administrative Agent shall post such
document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material Non-Public Information with respect to Holdings, Donohue, their respective Subsidiaries and their Securities.

Material Adverse Effect; provided, no Credit Party (other than Borrower with respect to existence) or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any such existence, right or franchise, licenses and permits if such Person's board of
directors (or similar governing body) shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of such Person, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to such Person or to
Lenders. 
 5.3. Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all federal
and other material Taxes imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses or franchises before any penalty or fine accrues thereon, and all federal and other material claims (including claims for
labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law 
  
 68 
  

 have or may
become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine (or, in the case of such federal and other material claims, any material penalty or fine) shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided, no such
federal or other material Tax or claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as (a) adequate reserve or other appropriate provision, as shall be
required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, and (b) in the case of a federal or other material Tax or claim which has or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay
the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such federal or other material Tax or claim. 
 5.4. Maintenance of Properties.
Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, all material properties used or useful in the business of the

casualty insurance with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and businesses of the Abitibi Entities as may customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation
engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such amounts (giving effect to self-insurance), with such deductibles, covering such risks and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for such Persons. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Holdings, Borrower and Donohue will maintain or cause to be maintained (a) flood insurance with respect to each Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance
Program, in each case in compliance with any applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and (b) replacement value casualty insurance on the Collateral under such policies of insurance, with such insurance
companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and covering such risks as are at all times carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar businesses. Each such policy of insurance shall
(i) in the case of each liability policy, name Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear, (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable
clause or endorsement, satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent, that names Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the loss payee thereunder and provide for at least thirty days' prior written notice to Collateral Agent
of any modification or cancellation of such policy. 
 5.6. Books and Records; Inspections. Each Credit Party will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and accounts in which full, true and correct entries in conformity in all material respects with GAAP shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities.

copy and take extracts from its and their financial and accounting records, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with its and their officers and independent public accountants, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable
times during normal business hours and as often as may reasonably be requested.

 shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend or
otherwise change the terms of any Senior Notes or ACSC Securitization Documents, or make any payment consistent with an amendment thereof or change thereto, if the effect of such amendment or change is to increase the interest rate on such Senior
Notes or ACSC Securitization Indebtedness, change (to earlier dates) any dates upon which payments of principal or interest are due thereon, change any event of default or condition to an event of default with respect thereto (other than to
eliminate any such event of default or increase any grace period related thereto), or change the redemption, prepayment or defeasance provisions thereof, or if the effect of such amendment or change, together with all other amendments or changes
made, is to increase materially the obligations of the obligor thereunder or to confer any additional rights on the holders of such Senior Notes or ACSC Securitization Indebtedness (or a trustee or other representative on their behalf) which would
be adverse to any Credit Party or Lenders. In addition, no Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend or otherwise change the terms of the ACSC Securitization Documents if the effect of such amendment or change is to
include any Credit Party (other than Holdings and ACSC) as an originator of accounts receivable under the ACSC Securitization. No Credit Party shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to amend or otherwise change the terms of the Star Lake
Indebtedness or the AC Hydro Indebtedness, or make any payment consistent with an amendment thereof or change thereto, if the effect of such amendment or change is to cause any Credit Party to incur any obligations under the Star Lake Indebtedness
or AC Hydro Indebtedness respectively (including as a guarantor or otherwise). 
 6.16. Fiscal Year. No Credit Party shall,
nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, change its Fiscal Year-end from December 31. 
 6.17. Hedge Agreements.
No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into (or become liable under) any Hedge Agreement outside the ordinary course of business or inconsistent with past practice. 
 SECTION 7. GUARANTY 
 7.1. Guaranty of the
Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 and, with respect to Guarantors created and governed by the Companies Act (Québec), to the maximum extent permitted by the limitations set forth under s.123.66 of the
Companies Act (Québec), Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment and performance in full of all
Obligations (other than, in respect of each Guarantor, its own Obligations) when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due
but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or other Insolvency Laws) (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"). 
 7.2. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the "Contributing Guarantors"),
in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate
Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be 
  
 85 
  

 entitled to a contribution from
each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor's Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. "Fair Share" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date
of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing
Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. "Fair Share Contribution Amount" means (i) with
respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to
avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of any applicable law; and (ii) with respect to any Contributing Guarantor created and
governed by the Companies Act (Québec), the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render the amount of its obligations hereunder or thereunder to exceed the maximum amount
permitted by s.123.66 of the Companies Act (Québec); provided, solely for purposes of calculating the "Fair Share Contribution Amount" with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or
liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such
Contributing Guarantor. "Aggregate Payments" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by
such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing
Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among
Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution
agreement set forth in this Section 7.2. 
 7.3. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby
jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the
Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay
under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of other Insolvency Laws), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to
the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower's becoming the subject of a case or proceeding under
any Insolvency Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

  
 86 
  

 7.4. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder
are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In
furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows: 
 (a) this Guaranty is a
guaranty of payment and performance when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety; provided that any Guarantor incorporated or otherwise organized under the
laws of Canada, or any province or any territory thereof, shall be secondarily liable as a surety and not primarily liable as a primary obligor; 
 (b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty during the existence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such
Event of Default; 
 (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of
any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other
guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions; 
 (d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all,
of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor's liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent
is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor's covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor's liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 (e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or
enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise
change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or
any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the
Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties
of the Guaranteed 
  
 87 
  

 Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other
Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale
thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable
security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or
extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any
Hedge Agreements; and 
 (f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be
subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether occurring before, upon or after any
demand for payment hereunder, and whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any assertion or enforcement of, or failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or
enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements, at law,
in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission,
waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or
instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to
such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source
(other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness
other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any
Beneficiary's consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure, control, or existence of any Abitibi Entity and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or
continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; (viii) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance
relating to any Credit Party or any other Person; (ix) any failure of any Credit Party or any other Person, whether or not without fault on 
  
 88 
  

 their part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of the Credit Documents or to give notice thereof to any Guarantor; (x) any amendment, variation,
modification, supplement or replacement of any of the Credit Documents or any other document or instrument; (xi) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to any
Credit Party or any other Person; (xii) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction or by any present or future action of any Governmental Authority amending, varying, reducing or otherwise
affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guarantee; (xiii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing,
which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (xiv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defence
of any Credit Party under the Credit Documents. 
 7.5. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of
Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any
Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of
Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the
liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither
larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary's errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith;
(e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any
statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect,
secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor or non-payment and notices of any action or inaction, including
acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or under the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices
of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the
liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof. 
 7.6. Guarantors' Rights of
Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives 
  
 89 
  

 any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in
connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any
right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy
that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations
shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such
right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth
herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of
contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or
security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed
Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries
to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 7.7. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the "Obligee Guarantor") is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations,
and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

 7.8. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been paid in full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations. 
 7.9. Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or
Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them. 
  
 90 
  

 7.10. Financial Condition of Borrower. The Term Loans may be made to Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any
Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or
discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor's assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of
Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances
bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of
Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary. 
 7.11. Bankruptcy, Etc. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain
outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency
case, application or proceeding of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case, application or proceeding,
voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, voluntary arrangement, scheme of arrangement, moratorium, administration, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense
which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. 
 (b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case, application or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above
(or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case, application or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations if such case, application or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by
Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case, application or proceeding is commenced.

 (c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder
shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer
or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder. 
  
 91 
  

 7.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest
hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof (excluding in connection with the Donohue Sale), the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest,
as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale. 
 7.13. Indemnity. As an original and independent obligation under this Guaranty, each Guarantor shall (i) indemnify each Beneficiary against
all costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by any other Credit Party to make due and punctual payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or resulting from any of the Guaranteed Obligations being or
becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any other Credit Party (including all legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by any Beneficiary, in connection with preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or
enforce, its rights under this Guaranty); and (ii) pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not any of any Beneficiary has attempted to enforce any rights against any other Credit Party or any other
Person or otherwise. 
 SECTION 8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 8.1. Events of Default. If any one or more of the following conditions or events shall occur: 
 (a)
Failure to Make Payments When Due. Failure by Borrower to pay (i) when due any installment of principal of any Loan, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by notice of voluntary prepayment, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise; or
(ii) any interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount due hereunder within three Business Days after the date due; or

if any, provided therefor, if the effect of such breach or default is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of that Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder or holders), to cause, that Indebtedness to become or be declared due and
payable (or redeemable) prior to its stated maturity or the stated maturity of any underlying obligation, as the case may be (or, in the case of the ACSC Securitization, terminate, or permit the termination of, the ACSC Securitization by any
purchaser or lender thereunder prior to the scheduled termination date thereof); or

Section 8.1, and such default shall not have been remedied or waived within thirty days after the earlier of (i) an officer of such Credit Party becoming aware of such default or (ii) receipt by Borrower of notice from Administrative

due diligence and discharged or struck out within 21 days); or 
 (j) Employee Benefit Plans. (i) There shall occur one or more
ERISA Events which individually or in the aggregate results in or might reasonably be expected to result in liability of any Abitibi Entity or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates in excess of $25,000,000 during the term hereof; (ii) there
exists any fact or circumstance that reasonably could be expected to result in the imposition of a Lien or security interest pursuant to Section 430(k) of the Internal Revenue Code or ERISA or a violation of Section 436 of the Internal

actual, partial or full, termination or wind-up of any Pension Plan, or an event respecting any Pension Plan which would result in the revocation of the registration of such Pension Plan or which could otherwise reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the tax status of any such Canadian Pension Plan, or any Canadian Credit Party fails to make a required contribution to or payment under any Pension Plan when due; or 
 (k) Change of Control. A Change of Control shall occur; or 
 (l) Guaranties, Collateral Documents and other Credit Documents. At any time after the execution and delivery thereof, (i) the Guaranty for any reason, other than the satisfaction in full of all Obligations,
shall cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms) or shall be declared to be null and void or any Guarantor shall repudiate its obligations thereunder, (ii) this Agreement or any Collateral Document ceases to
be in full force and effect (other than by reason of a release of Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or the satisfaction in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof) or shall be declared null and void, or
Collateral Agent shall not have or shall cease to have a valid and perfected Lien in any Collateral purported to be covered by the Collateral Documents with the priority required by the relevant Collateral Document, in each case for any reason other
than the failure of Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to take any action within its control, or (iii) any Credit Party shall contest the validity or enforceability of any Credit Document in writing or deny in writing that it has any further
liability, including with respect to future advances by Lenders, under any Credit Document to which it is a party or shall contest the validity or perfection of any Lien in any Collateral purported to be covered by the Collateral Documents;

 THEN, (1) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(g), automatically, and (2) upon the

party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or
relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. Each of Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent, without consent of or notice to any party hereto, may assign any and all of its rights or obligations hereunder to
any of its Affiliates. As of the Closing Date, GSCP, in its capacity as Syndication Agent and in its capacity as Documentation Agent, shall not have any obligations but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Section 9. 
 9.2. Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Lender's behalf and to exercise such
powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Credit Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees.
No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing herein or any of the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as
to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each 
  
 96 
  

 Lender irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and the Securitization Intercreditor Agreement, and to take such
action and to exercise the powers, rights and remedies granted to the Collateral Agent thereunder and with respect thereto. In addition, each Lender hereby: (i) agrees to be bound by, and consents to, the terms and provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Securitization Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent, in its discretion, to execute any Intercreditor Agreement Joinders (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement and the
Securitization Intercreditor Agreement) on behalf of each Lender in order to evidence that each Lender is bound by the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Securitization Intercreditor Agreement. Each Agent and each Lender
hereby acknowledges, agrees and accepts that the Collateral Agent holds Collateral which is the subject of the UK Security Agreement as security agent and trustee for and on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of the
declaration of trust set forth in the UK Security Agreement and that the terms of its appointment, and such trust, shall be as set forth (or referred to) in the UK Security Agreement and this Agreement. Each Agent and each Lender hereby
acknowledges, agrees and accepts that the Collateral Agent holds Collateral which is the subject of the Netherlands Security Agreement as security agent and sole creditor for and on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the
terms of the parallel debt provisions as set forth in the Netherlands Security Agreement and that the terms of its appointment shall be as set forth (or referred to) in the Netherlands Security Agreement and this Agreement.

 9.3. General Immunity. 
 (a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other
Credit Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents
furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party or to any Agent or Lender in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any
Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in
any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans. 
 (b) Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents
except to the extent caused by such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any
action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority 
  
 97 
  

 vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may
be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from
acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys
(who may be attorneys for the Abitibi Entities), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so
instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5). 
 (c) Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or
under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their
respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 9.3 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 9.3 and of
Section 9.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and
rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to
indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification)
shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Administrative Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any
other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent. 
 9.4.
Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to
its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term "Lender" shall,
unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include 
  
 98

  

 each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Holdings or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified
herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. 
 9.5. Lenders' Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment. 
 (a) Each Lender represents and
warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Abitibi Entities in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of the Abitibi Entities. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any
information provided to Lenders. 
 (b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment Agreement and
funding its Term Loan on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable
on the Closing Date. 
 9.6. Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify
each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and
disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents
or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole
negligence of such Agent; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become
impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any
Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require
any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. 
  
 99 
  

 9.7. Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent 
 (a) Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower, and
Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to Borrower and Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite Lenders. Administrative Agent shall have the right to
appoint a financial institution to act as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder subject to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower and the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent's resignation shall become effective on the earlier
of (i) the acceptance of such successor Administrative Agent by Borrower and the Required Lenders or (ii) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, if a successor
Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days' notice to Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If neither Requisite Lenders
nor Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent;
provided that, until a successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by Requisite Lenders or Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent, by notice to Borrower and Requisite Lenders, may retain its role as Collateral Agent under any
Collateral Document. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held
under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, and (ii) execute and
deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security
interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Except as provided above, any resignation or removal of GSCP or its successor as
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation or removal of GSCP or its successor as Collateral Agent. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative
Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall,
upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. If GSCP or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section has resigned as Administrative Agent but retained its role as
Collateral Agent and no successor Collateral Agent has become the Collateral Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, GSCP or its successor may resign as Collateral Agent upon notice to the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders at any
time. 
 (b) In addition to the foregoing, Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to Lenders and
the Grantors, and Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing 
  
 100 
  

 delivered to the Grantors and Collateral Agent signed by the Requisite Lenders. Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as
Collateral Agent hereunder subject (except in the case of an appointment of an Affiliate of Collateral Agent as successor Collateral Agent) to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower and the Required Lenders, and Collateral Agent's resignation shall
become effective on the earliest of (i) the acceptance of such successor Collateral Agent by Borrower and the Required Lenders, to the extent required, (ii) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation or (iii) in the case of an
Affiliate of Collateral Agent being named successor Collateral Agent, the date of such appointment. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such
successor Collateral Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder or under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties
of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements, and take such
other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the
Collateral Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder. 
 9.8. Collateral Documents and Guaranty. 
 (a) Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be
the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents; provided that neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty,
duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Hedge Agreement. Subject to Section 10.5, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party,
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of
Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any
Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented. 
  
 101 
  

 (b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents
to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty,
it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the
Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, Collateral Agent or any Lender may
be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual
capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use
and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. 
 (c) Foreclosure on Collateral. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, no Agent shall enforce any power, right or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Document the
result of which would be that a Lender which is not a resident of Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), or any Agent on behalf of or for the benefit of such a Lender, shall hold title to or otherwise become the owner or
holder of any property or interest therein (other than by way of security) situated in Canada without such Lender's prior written consent. 
 (d) [Reserved]. 
 (e) Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Credit Documents. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein or any other Credit Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Hedge Agreement) have been paid in full, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to,
or vote or consent of, any Lender or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for
in any Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Hedge Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee
obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation
or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
 (f) Québec Security. For the purposes of the grant of any
Québec Security Agreements under the laws of the Province of Québec which may now or in the future be required to be delivered by any Credit Party, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed by each Agent and each
Lender to act as the holder of an irrevocable 
  
 102 

 

 power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of
Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Québec as security for any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness that may be issued by any such Credit Party
pursuant to a deed of hypothec and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon a fondé de pouvoir under the relevant deed of hypothec and applicable laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties). Moreover, in
respect of any pledge by any such Credit Party of any such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness as security for any Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall also be authorized to hold such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness as
agent, custodian and pledgee for its own account and for the benefit of all Agents and all Lenders (collectively, the "Secured Creditors"), the whole notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act respecting the Special Powers of
Legal Persons (Québec). The execution prior to the date hereof by the Collateral Agent]of any deed of hypothec or other Quebec Security Agreement made pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec, is hereby ratified and confirmed.
Any person who becomes an Agent or a Lender shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Collateral Agent as fondé de pouvoir, agent and custodian on behalf of all Secured Creditors. For greater
certainty, the Collateral Agent, acting as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir), shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the
Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. In the event of the resignation and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall also act as the holder of an irrevocable power of
attorney (fondé de pouvoir) as set out above and as agent and custodian on behalf of the Secured Creditors. The Collateral Agent agrees to act in each of the aforementioned capacities. 
 9.9. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any
Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of
any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax
ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all
expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. 
 SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1. Notices. 
 (a)
Notices Generally. Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given to a Credit Party, Syndication Agent, Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or Documentation Agent, shall be sent to such Person's address as set
forth on Appendix B or in the other relevant Credit Document, and in the case of any Lender, the address as indicated on Appendix B or otherwise indicated to Administrative Agent in writing. Except as otherwise set forth in paragraph
(b) below, each notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served, telexed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or Canada Post or 
  
 103 
  

 courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of
telefacsimile or telex, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail or Canada Post with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided, no notice to any Agent shall be effective until received by such Agent;
provided further, any such notice or other communication shall at the request of Administrative Agent be provided to any sub-agent appointed pursuant to Section 9.3(c) hereto as designated by Administrative Agent from time to time.

 (b) Electronic Communications. 
 (i) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, including the Platform) pursuant to procedures
approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by
electronic communication. Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of
such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender's receipt of an
acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal
business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website
shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address

not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of Administrative Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (iii) The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided "as is" and "as available". None of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the "Agent
Affiliates") warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic Communications. No
warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent Affiliates in
connection with the Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications.

 (iv) Each of the Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Agents agree that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with Administrative Agent's customary
document retention procedures and policies. 
 10.2. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to pay promptly (a) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses of Agents relating to preparation of the Credit Documents and of Agents and Lenders relating to any consents, amendments, waivers or
other modifications thereto; (b) all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower and the other Credit Parties; (c) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Agents in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution and administration of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (d) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses of
creating, perfecting and recording Liens in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable
fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to each Agent and of counsel providing any opinions that any Agent or Requisite Lenders may request in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Collateral Documents; (e) all the
actual costs and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers; (f) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any appraisers,
consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by Collateral Agent and its counsel) in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (g) all other actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each Agent in
connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments and the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby; and
(h) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent and Lenders in enforcing
any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale, lease or license of, collection from, or
other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a "work-out" or pursuant to any insolvency or
bankruptcy cases or proceedings. 
 10.3. Indemnity. 
 (a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each
Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees' selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent and Lender and the officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents and Affiliates of
each Agent and each Lender (each, an "Indemnitee"), from 
  
 105 
  

 and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, in
all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole negligence of such Indemnitee; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to
any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To
the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall
contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. 
 (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against each Lender, each
Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim
therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Holdings
and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 10.4. Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during
the existence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to
any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the
obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of
whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder, (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such
obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, or (c) such Obligation is owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation or such Indebtedness.

  
 106 
  

 10.5. Amendments and Waivers. 
 (a) Requisite Lenders' Consent. Subject to the additional requirements of Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(c), no amendment, modification, termination
or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; provided that Administrative Agent may,
with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender.

 (b) Affected Lenders' Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender that would be directly affected thereby, no amendment,
modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would: 
 (i) extend the scheduled final
maturity of any Loan or Note; 
 (ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment); 

(iii) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan
pursuant to Section 2.10) or any fee or any premium payable hereunder; 
 (iv) extend the time for payment of any such
interest or fees; 
 (v) reduce the principal amount of any Loan; 
 (vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section 10.5(b), Section 10.5(c) or any other provision of this
Agreement that expressly provides that the consent of all Lenders is required; 
 (vii) amend the definition of
"Requisite Lenders" or "Pro Rata Share"; provided, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of "Requisite Lenders" or "Pro Rata
Share" on substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans are included on the Closing Date; 
 (viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents; or 
 (ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document;

 provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected thereby with respect to any amendment
described in clauses (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix). 
 (c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of
any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall: 
  
 107 
  

 (i) alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.15 without the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Term Loan Exposure of all Lenders which is being
allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof; provided, Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not
altered; or 
 (ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as the same applies to any Agent, or
any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent. 
 (d) Execution of Amendments, Etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such
Credit Party. 
 10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations. 
 (a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto, Indemnitees under Section 10.3, and the successors and assigns of Lenders and such Indemnitees. No Credit Party's rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party
without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Register. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and
owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of
an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 10.6(d).
Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register on the Business Day the Assignment Agreement is received by the Administrative Agent, if received by 12:00 noon New York City time, and on the following Business Day if received after such time,
prompt notice thereof shall be provided to Borrower and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the "Assignment Effective Date." Any
request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the
corresponding Commitments or Loans. 
  
 108 
  

 (c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right
at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that pro rata
assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Term Loan and any related Term Loan Commitments): 
 (i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of "Eligible Assignee" upon the giving of
notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent; and 
 (ii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the
definition of the term of "Eligible Assignee" upon the giving of notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent; provided, further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than
$1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Term Loan of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of Term Loans. 
 (d) Mechanics. Assignments and assumptions of Loans and Commitments by Lenders shall be effected by manual execution and delivery to
Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to Administrative Agent such
forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.20(c), together with payment to
the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to GSCP or any Affiliate thereof or (z) in the case of
an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender). 
 (e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of
the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and
(iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

  
 109 
  

 (f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of
the Assignment Effective Date, (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a "Lender" hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party
hereto and a "Lender" for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the
termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder
as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee; and (iv) any such
assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and
thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the
assigning Lender. 
 (g) Participations. (i) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to
any Person (other than Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. 
 (ii) The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to
require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the
participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation,
and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant's participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of
any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such
participant is participating. 
 (iii) Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the 
  
 110 
  

 participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with Borrower's prior written consent and
(y) a participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20 as
though it were a Lender that acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 2.20(c); provided further that, except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any
notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. 
 (h) Certain Other Assignments and
Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its
Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided,
that no Lender, as between Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank,
pledgee or trustee be considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 
 10.7. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to,
or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 
 10.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.18(c), 2.19, 2.20, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the
agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof. 
 10.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege
or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights,
powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or
any of the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the
further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. 
  
 111

  

 10.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.
Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or
payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state,
provincial, or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 
 10.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 10.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders' Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained
herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time
hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. 
 10.13. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only
and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 
 10.14. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES INSOFAR AS SUCH
PRINCIPLES WOULD DEFER TO THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 10.15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL
PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, 
  
 112 
  

 MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT,
EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS;
(C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1;
(D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN
EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 10.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER
IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY
CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER
IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY
TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS
A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
  
 113 

 

 10.17. Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender
shall hold all Non-Public Information regarding the Abitibi Entities and their businesses identified as such by Borrower and obtained by such Agent or such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Agent's and such Lender's
customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that, in any event, the Administrative Agent may disclose such information to the Lenders and each Agent and each Lender may make
(i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their respective agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with
disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment,
transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations
(provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17),
(iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit
Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, (iv) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document and (v) disclosures required or requested by the NAIC or any other
Governmental Authority or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any
Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such
Non-Public Information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to
the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each party
(and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of
any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to any such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure shall remain subject to the
confidentiality provisions hereof (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the parties hereto, their respective Affiliates, and their and their respective Affiliates' directors and employees to comply
with applicable securities laws. For this purpose, "tax structure" means any facts relevant to the federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement but does not include information relating to the identity of any of
the parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates. 
 10.18. Usury Savings Clause. If any provision of this
Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents would obligate any Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Agent or any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which 
  
 114 
  

 would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such Agent or such Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms
are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) or in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, 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 Agent or such Lender of interest 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 Agent or such Lender under Section 2.8, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Agent or such Lender
which would constitute "interest" for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada) or for the purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform
strictly to any applicable usury laws, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated in the preceding sentence, if an Agent or Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal
Code (Canada) or by application of the Highest Lawful Rate, such Credit Party shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such Agent or such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such Agent or 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 Agent or such Lender to such Credit Party. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 10.18 shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as
an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of "interest" (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada) or for
the purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of
a dispute, a certificate of an actuary appointed by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination absent manifest error. 
 10.19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but
one and the same instrument. 
 10.20. Effectiveness; Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of
a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. With the exception of those terms contained in the
fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth and eleventh paragraphs of the Engagement Letter, dated March 12, 2008, between GSCP and Borrower (the "Engagement Letter"), which by the terms of the Engagement Letter remain in full force and effect, all of
GSCP's and its Affiliates obligations under the Engagement Letter shall terminate and be superseded by the Credit Documents, and GSCP and its Affiliates shall be released from all liability in connection therewith, including any claim for injury or
damages, whether consequential, special, direct, indirect, punitive or otherwise. 
 10.21. PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each 
  
 115 
  

 Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such
Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act or the PCTFA. 
 10.22.
Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of
which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 10.23. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the
"Lenders"), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or
other implied duty between the Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. You acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Lenders,
on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management,
stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of
whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents, and (iv) the Borrower
has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process
leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading
thereto. 
 10.24. Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Credit
Documents, if a "secured creditor" (as that term is defined under the BIA) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to include a Person to whom obligations are owed on a joint or joint and several basis, then any Canadian Credit
Party's Obligations (and the Obligations of each other Credit Party with respect thereto), to the extent such Obligations are secured, only shall be several obligations and not joint or joint and several obligations. 
 10.25. Limitations Act, 2002. Each of the parties hereto agree that any and all limitation periods provided
for in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario) or any other similar legislation, shall be excluded from application to the Obligations and any undertaking, covenant, indemnity or other agreement of any Credit Party provided for in any Credit
Documents to which it is a party in respect thereof, in each case to fullest extent permitted by such Act or such other legislation, as the case may be. 
  
 116 
  

 10.26. Judgment Currency. 
 (a) If,
for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 10.26 referred to as
the "Judgment Currency") an amount due under any Credit Documents in any currency (the "Obligation Currency") other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day
immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the
case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 10.26 being hereinafter in this Section 10.26 referred to as the "Judgment Conversion
Date"). 
 (b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any such other jurisdiction referred to in Section 10.26(a),
there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Credit Party or Parties shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event
not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could
have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Credit Party under this Section 10.26(b) shall
be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Credit Documents. 
 The term "rate of exchange" in this Section 10.26 means the rate of exchange at which Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with
Administrative Agent's normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

  As used herein, (i) "Credit Documents" means the documents referred to in clauses  
  (a) through [(0)] above, and (ii) "Agents" means, collectively, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.  
     
  Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we
are of the opinion that:  
     
  1.             Each of the US Credit Parties is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its state ofincorporation1. Each of the US Credit Parties has the requisite [corporate] [partnership] [limited liability company] power and authority to own, pledge, mortgage and operate its
properties, to lease any properties it  
     
  __________________________  
  1   Add corresponding opinions for limited liability companies, partnerships, etc. that are US Credit Parties.  
     
  2  

   
  operates under lease, to conduct its business as presently conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Credit Documents
to which it is a party. Each of the Credit Documents has been duly executed and delivered by each US Credit Party party thereto.  
     
  2.             Based solely on the good standing certificates delivered to
Administrative Agent from the States of ____________________________, each of the US Credit Parties is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign [corporation] [partnership] [limited liability company] qualified to do business in each such
jurisdiction.  
     
  3.             The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Credit Documents to which
each of the US Credit Parties is a party have been duly authorized by each of the US Credit Parties (as applicable), and each of the Credit Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the US Credit Parties that are parties
thereto, enforceable in accordance with its tenns.2  
     
  4.             Assuming the proceeds of the Loan are used solely for the purposes set forth in
the Credit Agreement, neither the execution and delivery by each of the US Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by each of the US Credit Parties of the transactions contemplated thereby: (i) violates
any provision of the US Credit Parties' respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) violates any law or regulation (including any applicable order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality known to us) applicable to any US
Credit Party; (iii) results in the breach of, or constitutes a default under, or requires any consent under, any Material Contract to which any US Credit Party is a party or by which any US Credit Party or any of its properties are bound (iv)
results in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the property of any US Credit Party under any Material Contract; or (v) requires the consent or approval of, or any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority other than (a)
the filing of the Financing Statements, and (b) those which have been obtained.  
     
  5.             There are no Adverse Proceedings, individually or in the
aggregate, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental
department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. We have not been retained to represent any US Credit Party
with respect to any pending or threatened litigation, other than matters disclosed in the Credit Documents or the disclosure schedules thereto.

  6.             The provisions of the US Security Agreements are sufficient to grant to the
Collateral Agent a security interest in all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties in those items and types of Collateral in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as currently in effect in
the State of New York (the "NY UCC").  
     
  7.             The description of the Collateral set forth in the Financing Statements is
sufficient to perfect a security interest in the items and types of Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as currently in effect in the State of [Delaware
(the "DE UCC")] [Alabama (the "AL UCC")]. Assuming that the Financing Statements have been filed in the office(s) set forth on Schedule B hereto and have not subsequently been released, terminated or modified, the
Collateral Agent's security interest in the Collateral has been perfected, to the extent such security interest may be perfected under the [DE UCC] [AL UCC] by the filing of the Financing Statements.  
     
  8.
            Assuming that the Collateral Agent has taken and is retaining possession of the stock certificates evidencing the shares of stock described in the US Security Agreements (the
"Pledged Stock,,)3, together with properly completed stock powers endorsing the Pledged Stock and executed by the applicable Credit Party in blank, and that the Collateral Agent has taken such Pledged Stock in good faith without notice of any
adverse claim within the meaning of the NY UCC, there has been created under the US Security Agreements, and there has been granted to the Collateral Agent, a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Pledged Stock, with the
consequence of perfection by control accorded by the NY UCC. [To be given by Donohue post closing]  
   
 
  9.             The provisions of the Deposit Account Control
Agreements are effective to create and perfect the security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in the deposit accounts described therein.  
     
  10.
          [The provisions of the Uncertificated Securities Control Agreement(s) are effective to create and perfect the security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in the uncertificated securities
described therein.] [Please add to the extent applicable.]  
     
  11.           Neither the making of the Loan under the Credit Agreement, the use of proceeds there from, or
the pledge of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors.  
     
  12.
          None of the US Credit Parties is an "investment company" registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or, to our knowledge, controlled
by such a company.

Additional opinions with respect to the Alabama River Mortgage   
     
  13.           Except for filings which are necessary to perfect the security interests
granted under the Mortgage and such other filings, authorizations or approvals as are specifically contemplated by the Mortgage, no authorizations or approvals of, and no filings with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the United
States or the state of Alabama (the "State") are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance of the Mortgage by Alabama River.  
     
  14.
          The choice of law provisions contained in the Mortgage will be upheld and enforced by the courts of the State and Federal courts sitting in and applying the laws of the State. In this regard,
the amounts to be received by Lenders as interest in respect of the Term Loan Notes and under the Credit Agreement constitute lawful interest under the laws of the State and are neither usurious nor illegal.  
     
  15.
          The Mortgage to be recorded in the State creates valid security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Alabama River Facility to the extent the AL UCC is applicable thereto (the
"UCC Collateral"), as security for the payment or performance of the Obligations (as defined in such Mortgage). The security interests described in this Paragraph [__] are referred to as the "Security Interests."
 
     
  16.           The Mortgage to be recorded in the State is in form satisfactory for recording. The recording
of the Mortgage in the office _______________________________of for the County of ____________ is the only recording or filing necessary to publish notice of and to establish of record the rights of the parties thereto and to perfect the liens and
security interests granted by Alabama River pursuant to the Mortgage in the real property (including that portion of the UCC Collateral constituting fixtures) covered thereby. Upon the execution and delivery of such Mortgage, such liens and security
interests shall be created and upon the recording and filing of the Mortgage as aforesaid, such liens and security interests shall be perfected. No documents or instruments other than those referred to in this paragraph need be recorded, registered
or filed in any public office in the State in order to publish notice of the applicable Mortgage or to perfect such liens and security interests or for the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage or to permit Lenders to enforce their rights there
under in the courts of the State.  
     
  17.           Except for ____________, no recording, filing, privilege or other tax must be paid by either
Alabama River or Lenders in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation or enforcement of the Mortgage.  
     
  18.           The Loan, as made, will not violate any
applicable usury laws of the State, or other applicable laws regulating the interest rate, fees and other charges that may be collected with respect to the Loan.  
     
  19.
          It is not necessary for Lenders to qualify to do business in the State solely to make the Loan and enforce the provisions of the Mortgage. The making of the Loan and enforcement of the
provisions of the Mortgage will not result in the imposition upon  
     
     
     
     
     
  5 

   

   
  Lenders of any taxes of the State, or any subdivision thereof in which the Alabama River Facility is located (including, without limitation, franchise,
license, tax on interest received or income taxes), other than taxes which Lenders, if and when it becomes the actual and record owner of the Alabama River Facility, by reason of power of sale or foreclosure under the Mortgage or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, would be required to pay. Lenders are not in violation of any banking law of the State by carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Mortgage.  
     
  20.           The foreclosure of the Mortgage to be
recorded in the State, exercise of Collateral Agent's power of sale, or exercise of any other remedy provided in the Mortgage will not in any manner restrict, affect or impair the liability of Alabama River with respect to the indebtedness secured
thereby or the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent with respect to the foreclosure or enforcement of any other security interests or liens securing such indebtedness, to the extent any deficiency remains unpaid after application of the proceeds
of the foreclosure of such Mortgage, exercise of such power of sale or as a result of the exercise of any other remedy.  
     
  21.           The Mortgage contains the terms and
provisions necessary to enable Collateral Agent, following a default under the Mortgage, to exercise the remedies that are customarily available to a lien holder under the laws of the State.  
     
  22.
          The priority of the lien of the Mortgage to be recorded in the State in respect of all advances or extensions of credit made by Lenders under the Credit Agreement on, before or after the date on
which such Mortgage is recorded in the appropriate recording office referred to in Paragraph [__] 1above will be determined by the date of such recording.  
     
  23.
          The priority of the lien of the Mortgage will not be affected by (a) any prepayment of a portion of the Loan, or (b) any increase in or reduction of the outstanding amount of the Loan from time
to time.  
     
  24.           Alabama River is qualified to transact business in the State.

  CLOSING DATE CERTIFICATE  

    
  THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY CERTIFY AS FOLLOWS: 

     
  1. We are, respectively, the chief executive officer and the chief
financial officer of  ABITIBI-CONSOLIDATED INC. ("Holdings") and  ABITIBI-CONSOLIDATED COMPANY OF CANADA ("Borrower").  
     
  2. We have reviewed the terms of Section 3 of the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April __,
2008 (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Credit Agreement"; the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined), by and among Borrower, Holdings, certain
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Holdings, as Guarantors, the Lenders party thereto from time to time, GOLDMAN SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P., as Syndication Agent, as Administrative Agent, and as Documentation Agent, and the definitions and
provisions contained in such Credit Agreement relating thereto, and in our opinion we have made, or have caused to be made under our supervision, such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable us to express an informed opinion as to the
matters referred to herein.  
     
  3.   Based upon our review and examination described in paragraph 2 above, we certify, on behalf of the Credit Parties, that as of the date hereof:  
     
  (i)              the representations and warranties contained in each of the Credit Documents are true, correct and complete in all respects on and as of the Closing Date to

  THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY CERTIFIES AS FOLLOWS:  
     
  1.     I, William G. Harvey, in my capacity as the Treasurer and the chief financial officer of 
ABITIBI-CONSOLIDATED INC., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of Canada ("Holdings"), and not in my individual capacity, hereby give this certificate in connection with that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as
of the date hereof (the "Credit Agreement"; the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined), by and among ABITIBI-CONSOLIDATED COMPANY OF CANADA, a corporation amalgamated
under the laws of the Province of Quebec, Canada ("Borrower"), Holdings, certain Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Holdings, as Guarantors, the Lenders party thereto from time to time,  GOLDMAN SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P., as
Syndication Agent, as Administrative Agent, and as Documentation Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.  
     
  2.     I am familiar with the business
and financial affairs of Holdings, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Related Agreements.  
     
  3. I have reviewed the projected
financial statements for the 2008 and 2009 Fiscal Years of the Abitibi Entities, a copy of which are attached hereto as Annex A (the "Projections"); such Projections have been prepared by Holdings and the Borrower based on good
faith estimates and assumptions, all of which Holdings and Borrower believe to be reasonable and fair in light of current conditions and current facts known to Holdings and Borrower and, as of the Closing Date, reflect Holdings' and Borrower's
management's good faith and reasonable estimates of the future financial performance of the Abitibi Entities and of the other information projected therein for the period set forth therein. For the purposes hereof, I have assumed that a fairly
conducted sale under legal process would result in a disposition of the business as a going concern, made to arm's length purchasers over a reasonable period of time taking into account the nature of the assets and market conditions and would be
made for fair value.  
     
  4. Based upon my review and examination of the business and financial affairs of the Abitibi Entities and based upon the Projections, to my knowledge, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, (i) Holdings and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are and will be Solvent, (ii) the Credit Parties, taken as a whole, are and will be Solvent, and (iii) Borrower is and will be Solvent.

  12  
  
   
 
  
  each case free and clear of any and all Liens, rights or claims of all other Persons, including, without limitation, liens arising as a result of such Grantor becoming bound

Collateral subject thereto;  
     
  (b)           no authorization, consent, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
Governmental Authority or regulatory body or any other Person is required for either (i) the pledge or grant by any Grantor of the Liens purported to be created in favor of the Collateral Agent hereunder or (ii) the exercise by Collateral Agent of
any rights or remedies in respect of any Collateral (whether specifically granted or created hereunder or created or provided for by applicable law), except (A) for the filings contemplated by clause (a) above or otherwise required to perfect Liens

amount thereof, any release of any  Account  Debtor  from  liability therefore, or  
     
  13  
   
 
  
   
  any deduction therefrom

  (b)

Grantor relating thereto and in all invoices and Collateral Reports with respect thereto furnished to the Collateral Agent by any Grantor from time to time. As of the time when each Receivable arises, the applicable Grantor shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that such Receivable, and all records relating thereto, are genuine and in all material respects what they purport to be at such time;

  (d)           with respect to the Receivables, taken as a whole, there are no facts, events or occurrences

Collateral Reports with respect thereto;

agreements with any third parties which would require any consent of any third party upon sale or disposition of such Inventory or the payment of any monies to any third party upon such sale or other disposition; and  
     
  (h)           the completion, manufacture, sale or other disposition of any Inventory by the Collateral Agent following an Event of Default shall not require the consent of any Person under and
shall not constitute a breach or default under any material contract or agreement to which such Grantor is a party or to which such property is subject.

indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the
Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the
Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.  
     
  7.3          Additional Grantors.   From time to time subsequent to the date hereof,
additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an "Additional Grantor"), by executing a Pledge Supplement. Upon delivery of any such Pledge Supplement to the Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by
Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or
diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any
Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.  
     
  7.4          Insurance.   When all
Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full, Collateral Agent authorizes Borrower or its designees to take all necessary steps to remove Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as loss payee and/or additional insured from each policy
of insurance of the Credit Parties.  
     
  7.5          US Property.   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, no representation, warranty or covenant provided in this Agreement shall apply to any  
     
     
     
     
  21  
   

   
  personal property of any Grantor if at the time such representation or warranty is made or deemed to be made, or if at the time such covenant is to be performed, as the case
may be, such personal property is not US Property.  
     
  SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.  
     
  8.1          Power of Attorney.   Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor,
the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion:  
     
  (a)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to
obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement;  
     
  (b)
          upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to
become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;  
     
  (c)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive, endorse
and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above;  
   
 
  (d)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent with
respect to any of the Collateral;  
     
  (e)           to prepare and file any VCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;  

    
  (f)            upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the
amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately
without demand; and  
     
  (g)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, generally to sell,
transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fu11y and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for a11 purposes, and to do, at the Collateral
Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's security interest
therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do; and  
     
     
     
    

     
     
     
  22  
  
  
  

  (h)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.  
     
  8.2
         No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties.   The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured
Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a
result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  
     
  SECTION
9.         REMEDIES.  
     
  9.1          Generally.   
     
  (a)
          If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the VCC (whether or not the VCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then
owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:  
 
   
  (i)            require any
Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral
Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;  
    

  (ii)           enter onto the property where any Collateral
is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;  
     
  (iii)          prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or
recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and  
     
  (iv)          without notice except as specified below or under the VCC, sell, assign,
lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.  
     
  (b)
          The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of
a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase
price for all or any portion of  
     
     
     
     
     
  23  
  
  
   
  the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the DCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase
price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of
sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that
provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by
reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not
offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys
employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate
remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses
against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way
limit the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.  
     
  (c)           The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the
Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.  
     
  (d)           The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.  
     
  9.2
         Application of Proceeds   . All proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement.  
     
  9.3          Sales on Credit   .
If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to
pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.  
    

     
     
     
  24 

  
  
   
 
 9.4          Investment Related Property.   Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the
Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement
under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage
in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall
and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to
determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.  
     
  9.5          Grant of Intellectual Property License.   Subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby (a) grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to
such Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed
items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Collateral Agent may sell any of such Grantor's Inventory directly to any person, including without
limitation persons who have previously purchased such Grantor's Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Collateral Agent's rights under this Agreement may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark
owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Collateral Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and
sell such Inventory as provided herein.  
     
  9.6          Reserved.   
     
  9.7
         Cash Proceeds;   Deposit Accounts. (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section
6.5 with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, "Cash Proceeds") shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor,  and  shall,  forthwith  upon  receipt  by  such  Grantor,  be  turned  over  to  the   Collateral  

    
     
     
  25  
  

 
   
  Agent in the exact form
received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may,
in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time
thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.  
    

  (b)           If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.  
     
  SECTION 10.     
COLLATERAL AGENT.  
     
  The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other
Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without
limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof,
agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. The provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the Collateral Agent including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent
and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Agent are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement.  
     
  SECTION 11.      CONTINUING
SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.  
     
  This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all
Secured Obligations, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all
the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral
shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing
statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the
applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor's expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.  
    

     
     
  26  
   

   
  SECTION 12.      STANDARD
OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.  
     
  The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or
as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral
in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor
fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under
Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.  
     
  SECTION 13.      MISCELLANEOUS.  
   
 
  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.1 of the
Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any
default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor
shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by
evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and
attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.  
     
  27  
   
 
                                    THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES INSOFAR AS SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DEFER
TO THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST).   
      
                                   THE PROVISIONS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT UNDER THE
HEADINGS "CONSENT TO JURISDICTION" AND "WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL" ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.  
     
     
     
     
     
  28  

  
    
  
   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by
their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

  This Securities Account Control Agreement dated as of [___________], 20[___] (this "Agreement") among
[_________________________________ ] (the "Debtor"), GOLDMAN SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P., as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (the "Collateral Agent") and [____________ ], in its capacity as a
"securities intermediary" as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the "Securities Intermediary"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the U.S. Pledge
and Security Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2008, among the Debtor, the other Grantors party thereto and the Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Security Agreement").
All references herein to the "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.  
    

   Section 1.    Establishment of Securities Account.   The
Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:  
     
  (a)           The Securities Intermediary has established account number

number of the Securities Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent;  
     
  (b)          All securities or other property underlying any
financial assets credited to the Securities Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the
Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be registered in the name of the Debtor, payable to the order of the Debtor or specially indorsed to the Debtor except to the extent the foregoing
have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank;  
     
  (c)           All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to
the Security Agreement will be promptly credited to the Securities Account; and  
     
  (d)          The Securities Account is a "securities
account" within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC.  
     
   Section 2.    "Financial Assets" Election.   The Securities Intermediary hereby

   Section 3.    Control of the Securities Account.   If at any time the Securities
Intermediary shall receive any order from the Collateral Agent directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent
by the Debtor or any other person. If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue entitlement orders and such orders conflict with any entitlement order issued by the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall follow the orders issued by the
Collateral Agent.  
     
     
     
     
  EXHIBIT C-1

security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent. The financial assets and other items deposited to the Securities Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in favor
of any person other than the Collateral Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary may set off (i) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the
Securities Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such Securities Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).  
     
  
Section 5. Choice of Law.   This Agreement and the Securities Account and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles insofar as such principles would defer to the substantive laws of some other jurisdiction. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the DCC,
New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the DCC) and the Securities Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State
of [New York].  
     
   Section 6.    Conflict with Other Agreements.  
     
  (a)           In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail;  
     
  (b)          No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right
hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto;  
     
  (c)           The Securities

  (iii)         It has not entered into, and until
the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with the Debtor or the Collateral Agent purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 3
hereof.  
     
   Section 7.    Adverse Claims.    Except for the claims and interest of the Collateral
Agent and of the Debtor in the Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary does not know of any claim to, or interest in, the Securities Account or in any "financial asset" (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the DCC) credited thereto.

  (c)           Permitted Investments. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Sole Control signed by the Collateral Agent, the Debtor shall direct the Securities
Intermediary with respect to the selection of investments to be made for the Securities Account; provided, however, that the Securities Intermediary shall not honor any instruction to purchase any investments other than investments of a type
described on Exhibit B hereto.

 (b)          The Deposit Account is a "deposit

understood, however, that neither the voting by such Grantor of any Pledged Stock for, or such Grantor's consent to, the election of directors (or similar governing body) at a regularly scheduled annual or other meeting of stockholders or with
respect to incidental matters at any such meeting, nor such Grantor's consent to or approval of any action otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit
Agreement within the meaning of this Section 6.6(b)(i)(1) and no notice of any such voting or consent need be given to the Collateral Agent; and

Collateral Agent's intention to exercise such rights:  
     
  (l)              all rights
of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who

the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder: (1) each Grantor shall
promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment   orders  and  other   instruments  as  the  Collateral   Agent
 may   from  time  to time  
     
     
  22  
  
 
  
  reasonably request and (2) each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth in Section 8.1.  
     
  (c)       except as expressly permitted by the
Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, it shall not vote to enable or take any other action to: (a) amend or terminate any partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, certificate of
incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents in any way that materially changes the rights of such Grantor with respect to any Investment Related Property included in the Collateral or adversely affects the validity, perfection or
priority of the Collateral Agent's security interest therein, (b) permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest included in the Collateral to issue any additional stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity
interests of any nature or to issue securities convertible into or granting the right of purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity interest of any nature of such issuer, (c) other than as permitted under the Credit Agreement, permit any
issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest included in the Collateral to dispose of all or a material portion of their assets, (d) waive any default under or breach of any terms of organizational document relating to the issuer of any Pledged Equity
Interest included in the Collateral or the terms of any Pledged Debt, or (e) cause any issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests included in the Collateral which are not securities (for purposes of the DCC) on the date
hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be certificated or treated as securities for purposes of the DCC; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any issuer of
any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests included in the Collateral takes any such action in violation of the foregoing in this clause (e), such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any such election or
action and, in such event, shall take all steps necessary or advisable to establish the Collateral Agent's "control" thereof; and  
     
  (d)       except as expressly permitted by the
Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, it shall not permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest that is included in the Collateral to merge or consolidate unless (i) such issuer creates a security interest
that is perfected by a filed financing statement (that is not effective solely under section 9-508 of the DCC) in collateral in which such new debtor has or acquires rights, (ii) all the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of the
surviving or resulting corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity is, upon such merger or consolidation, pledged hereunder and no cash, securities or other property is distributed in respect of the outstanding equity

   6.7          Intellectual Property.  

    
  (a)       it shall not do any act or omit to do any act whereby any of the Intellectual Property which is material to the business of Grantor or which is of material value may lapse, or become abandoned,
dedicated to the public, or unenforceable, or which would adversely affect the validity, grant, or enforceability of the security interest granted therein;  
     
  (b)       it shall not, with respect to any material Trademarks, cease the use of any of such Trademarks or fail to maintain the level of the quality of products sold and services rendered under any of such
Trademark at a level at least substantially consistent with the quality of such products and services as of the date hereof, and each Grantor shall take all steps necessary to insure that licensees of such Trademarks use such consistent standards of
quality;  
     
     
  23  
  
    
  
  (c)       it shall, within thirty (30) days of the creation or acquisition or exclusive license of any
Copyrightable work which is material to the business of Grantor or otherwise of material value, apply to register the Copyright and, in the case of an exclusive Copyright License, record such license, in the United States Copyright Office if such
registration or recordation is necessary to preserve or protect the value of such Copyright;  
     
  (d)       it shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent if it knows or has reason to know that any
material item of Intellectual Property may become (a) abandoned or dedicated to the public or placed in the public domain, (b) invalid or unenforceable, (c) subject to any adverse determination or development (including the institution of
proceedings) in any action or proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry, any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, or any court or (d) be the subject of any reversion or
termination rights;  
     
  (e)       it shall take all reasonable steps in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office, any state registry or any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, to pursue any application and maintain any registration of each Trademark, Patent, and Copyright owned by or exclusively licensed to any Grantor which is now or
shall become included in the Intellectual Property material to the business of such Grantor including, but not limited to, those items on Schedule 5.2 (II) (as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time);  
     
  (f)        it shall hereafter use best efforts so as not to permit the inclusion in any
contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision that could or might in any way materially impair or prevent the creation of a security interest in, or the assignment of, such Grantor's rights and interests in any property included
within the definitions of any Intellectual Property acquired under such contracts;  
   
 
  (g)       in the event that any material Intellectual Property owned by
or exclusively licensed to any Grantor is infringed, misappropriated, or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly take all reasonable actions to stop such infringement, misappropriation, or dilution and protect its rights in such
Intellectual Property including, but not limited to, the initiation of a suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages;  
     
  (h)       it shall take all steps reasonably necessary to protect the secrecy of all Trade Secrets,
including, without limitation, entering into confidentiality agreements with employees and consultants and labeling and restricting access to secret information and documents;  
     
  (i)        it shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of any of the
material Intellectual Property; and  
     
  (j)        it shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all material amounts due or to become
due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property or any portion thereof. In connection with such collections, each Grantor may take (and, at the Collateral Agent's reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or the
Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection of such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any obligors with
respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby.  
     
     
  24  
  
 
  
  
      SECTION 7.         ACCESS; RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND FURTHER ASSURANCES;  
                                  ADDITIONAL GRANTORS; INSURANCE.   
     
   7.1          Access; Right of Inspection.   The
Collateral Agent shall at all times have full and free access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to all the books, correspondence and records of each Grantor; provided that, prior notice shall not be required upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default. The Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and each Grantor agrees to render to the Collateral
Agent, at such Grantor's cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Collateral Agent and its representatives shall at all times also have the right to enter any premises of each
Grantor and inspect any property of each Grantor where any of the Collateral of such Grantor granted pursuant to this Agreement is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein;
provided that as long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent and/or its representatives shall enter such premises during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice. As long as no Default or
Event Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall, and shall cause its representatives to, endeavor to minimize the cost and disruption of the Grantors' business resulting from any such access and inspection.  
     
   7.2          Further Assurances.  
     
  (a)       Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it shall
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or
priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Grantor shall:  
     
  (i)        file such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in intellectual property and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order
to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;  
 
   
  (ii)
         take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in the Intellectual Property with any intellectual property registry in
which said Intellectual Property is registered or in which an application for registration is pending including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, the various Secretaries of State,
and the foreign counterparts on any of the foregoing;  
     
  (iii)     
   upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, at any reasonable time, upon request by the Collateral Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent, or
persons designated by the Collateral Agent;  
     
     
     
     
  25  
  
 
  
  
     (iv)          at the Collateral Agent's request,
appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor's title to or the Collateral Agent's security interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and  
     
  (v)           furnish the Collateral Agent
with such information regarding the Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time.  
     
  (b)       Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a Record or Records,
including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, intellectual property security agreements and amendments to any of the foregoing, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its
sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect or otherwise protect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an
indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the
Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as "all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired" or words of similar effect. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral
Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.  
     
  (c)       Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement after
obtaining such Grantor's approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule 5.2 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing Intellectual
Property or any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by any Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which any Grantor no longer has or claims any right,
title or interest.  
     
                  
7.3          Additional Grantors.   From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an
"Additional Grantor"), by executing a Pledge Supplement. Upon delivery of any such Pledge Supplement to the Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a
party hereto as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any
election of Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person
becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.  
     
   7.4          Insurance.   When all Obligations have been
irrevocably paid in full, Collateral Agent authorizes Borrower or its designees to take all necessary steps to remove Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as loss payee and/or additional insured from each policy of insurance of the
Credit Parties.  
     
   SECTION 8.         COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.   
     
     
     
  26  
  
 
  
  
      8.1          Power of Attorney.   Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion:  
     
  (a)
      upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement; 

     
  (b)       upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for, demand,
collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;  
     
  (c)       upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive, endorse and
collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above;  
     
  (d)       upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the
Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;  
     
  (e)       to prepare and file any VCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;  

    
  (f)        to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry,
appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor;  
     
  (g)       upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to take or cause to be
taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or
threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations
of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand;  
   
 
  (h)       upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, generally to sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes,
and to do, at the Collateral Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral
Agent's security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do; and  
     
  (i)        upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to take any
action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement  
     
     
  27  
  
 
  
  
      8.2          No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. 
 The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such
powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  
 
   
   SECTION 9.         REMEDIES.  
     
   9.1          Generally.  
     
  (a)       If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the DCC (whether or not the DCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then
owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:  
 
   
  (i)         require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;  
     
  (ii)        enter onto the property where any Collateral is
located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;  
     
  (iii)       prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store,
process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and  
     
  (iv)       without notice except as specified below or under the
DCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash,
on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.  
     
  (b)       The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a
kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the DCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall
be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the DCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a
credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral  Agent  at  such  sale.  Each  purchaser  at  any  such  sale  shall  hold  the property sold
 
     
  28  
  
 
  
  absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future
have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the
time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be
commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of
doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the
price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are
insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be
specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the
Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.  
     
  (c)       The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure
will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.  
     
  (d)       The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation
to marshal any of the Collateral.  
     
   9.2          Application of Proceeds.   All proceeds
received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Credit
Agreement.  
     
   9.3          Sales on Credit.   If Collateral Agent sells
any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral,
Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.  
    

   9.4          Investment Related Property.   Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain  prohibitions  contained  in  the  Securities  Act  and  applicable  state  securities  laws,  the  
     
     
  29  
  
 
  
  Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration
or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including
a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and
that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public
sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the
Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all
such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions
under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.  
     
  
9.5          Grant of Intellectual Property License   . Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during
the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby (a)
grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now
owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or
printout hereof and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Collateral Agent may sell any of such Grantor's Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Grantor's Inventory from such Grantor and
in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Collateral Agent's rights under this Agreement may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by
or licensed to such Grantor and the Collateral Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.  
     
  
9.6          Intellectual Property.  
     
  (a)       Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition
to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:  
     
  (i)
          the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor,  the  Collateral
  Agent  or   otherwise, in the   Collateral   Agent's  sole  discretion, to  
     
     
  30  
  
 
  
  enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent,
do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10 hereof in
connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable
measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor's rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or
proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;  
   
 
  (ii)          upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, conveyor otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent's designee all of such
Grantor's right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;  
     
  (iii)         each Grantor agrees that such an
assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the
Intellectual Property;  
     
  (iv)         within five (5) Business Days after
written notice from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor's power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor's employ on the date of such Event of Default as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in
connection with the Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent's behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Agent at such Grantor's expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis
consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and  
     
  (v)
         the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual
Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection
of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;  
     
  (1)     all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments)
received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and
shall be forthwith  paid over or  delivered to the  Collateral Agent in the  same  form  as  so  
 
   
     
  31  
  
 
  
  received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 9.7
hereof; and  
     
  (2)           Grantor shall not adjust,
settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.  
     
  (b)       If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the
Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent
shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor's sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the
Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent's security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all
other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on
behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties.  
     
  (c)       Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Section 9 and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said
Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.  
     
  
9.7          Cash Proceeds; Deposit Accounts.   (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent
specified in Section 6.5 with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, "Cash Proceeds") shall be held by such Grantor in
trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (A) be held by
the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the
Secured Obligations then due and owing.  
     
  (b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may  apply the  balance
 from any  Deposit  Account  or instruct  the bank at  which any  Deposit  
   
 
     
     
  32  
  
 
  
  Account is maintained to pay the
balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.  
     
   SECTION 10.      COLLATERAL AGENT.  
     
  The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder,
to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement
and the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it
being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. The provisions of the Credit
Agreement relating to the Collateral Agent including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Agent are incorporated herein by this
reference and shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement.  
     
   SECTION 11.      CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.  
     
  This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and
inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the
payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall,
at Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property
permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent
shall, at Grantor's expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing statement
amendments to evidence such release.  
     
   SECTION 12.      STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.   
     
  The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral  or  as  to  the  taking  of  any  necessary
 steps  to  preserve  rights  against  prior  parties  or  any  other  rights  pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to  
     
   
 
  33  
  
 
  
  have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral
or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.  
     
   SECTION
13.      MISCELLANEOUS.  
     
  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit
Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any
default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor
shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by
evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and
attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.  
   
 
    THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES INSOFAR AS SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DEFER TO THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION (OTHER THAN
ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST).  
     
  34  
  
 
  
    THE PROVISIONS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT UNDER THE HEADINGS "CONSENT TO JURISDICTION" AND "WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL" ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.  
      
     
     
  35  
  
 
  
  
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their
respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

   SECURITIES ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT  
     
  This Securities Account Control Agreement dated as of [_________], 20[__] (this "Agreement") among [____________________] (the "Debtor"), GOLDMAN SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P., as collateral agent for
the Secured Parties (the "Collateral Agent") and [____________], in its capacity as a "securities intermediary" as defined in Section 8-102 of the VCC (in such capacity, the "Securities Intermediary").
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the U.S. Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2008, among the Debtor, the other Grantors party thereto and the Collateral Agent (as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Security Agreement"). All references herein to the "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York. 

     
   Section 1.  Establishment of Securities Account.   The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms
and agrees that:  
     
  (a)           The Securities Intermediary has established account number 
[IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name "[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]" (such account and any successor account, the "Securities Account") and the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number
of the Securities Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent;  
     
  (b)          All securities or other property underlying any financial
assets credited to the Securities Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities
Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be registered in the name of the Debtor, payable to the order of the Debtor or specially indorsed to the Debtor except to the extent the foregoing have been
specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank;  
     
  (c)           All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to
the Security Agreement will be promptly credited to the Securities Account; and  
     
  (d)          The Securities Account is a "securities
account" within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC.  
     
   Section 2. "Financial Assets" Election.   The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that
each item of property (including, without limitation, any investment property, financial asset, security, instrument, general intangible or cash) credited to the Securities Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" within the meaning
of Section 8-1 02(a)(9) of the VCC.  
     
   Section 3. Control of the Securities Account.   If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall
receive any order from the Collateral Agent directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Debtor or any
other person. If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue entitlement orders and such orders conflict with any entitlement order issued by the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall follow the orders issued by the Collateral Agent.
 
     
  EXHIBIT C-l  
  

  
  
      Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off   . In the event that the Securities
Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Securities Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest
shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent. The financial assets and other items deposited to the Securities Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in favor of any person other
than the Collateral Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary may set off (i) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Securities Account and (ii)
the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such Securities Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).  
     
   Section 5.  Choice of Law.   This Agreement and the Securities Account and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles insofar as such principles would defer to the
substantive laws of some other jurisdiction. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the DCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the DCC) and
the Securities Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of [New York].  
     
   Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements.  
     
  (a)           In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail;  
     
  (b)          No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right
hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto;  
     
  (c)           The Securities
Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:  
     
  (i)        There are no other control agreements
entered into between the Securities Intermediary and the Debtor with respect to the Securities Account;  
   
 
  (ii)       It has not
entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Securities Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with
entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the DCC) of such other person; and  
     
  (iii)      It has not entered into, and until
the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with the Debtor or the Collateral Agent purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 3
hereof.

   DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

Parties (the "Collateral Agent") and [____________], in its capacity as a "bank" as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the  "Financial Institution"). Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2008, between the Debtor, the other Grantors party thereto and the Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the "Security Agreement"). All references herein to the "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.  
     
  
Section 1.  Establishment of Deposit Account.   The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:  
     
  (a)           The Financial Institution has established account number  [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name "[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]" (such account and
any successor account, the "Deposit Account") and the Financial Institution shall not change the name or account number of the Deposit Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and, prior to delivery of a
Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Debtor; and  
     

 (b)          The Deposit Account is a "deposit

instructions and such instructions conflict with any instructions issued the Collateral Agent, the Financial Institution shall follow the instructions issued by the Collateral Agent.  
     
  
Section 3.  Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off.   In the event that the Financial Institution has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the
Deposit Account or any funds credited thereto, the Financial Institution hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent. Money and other items credited to the Deposit Account will not
be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agent (except that the Financial Institution may set off (i) all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of customary
fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Deposit Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such Deposit Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient
funds).

  accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles insofar as such principles would defer to the
substantive laws of some other jurisdiction. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the VCC, [New York] shall be deemed to be the Financial Institution's jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the VCC) and
the Deposit Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.  
     
   Section 5.  Conflict with Other Agreements.  
     
  (a)           In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail;  
     
  (b)          No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right
hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto; and  
     
  (c)           The Financial
Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:  
     
  (i)          There are no other agreements
entered into between the Financial Institution and the Debtor with respect to the Deposit Account [other than ]; and  
     
  (ii)
        It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating the Deposit Account and/or any funds credited thereto pursuant to
which it has agreed to comply with instructions originated by such persons as contemplated by Section 9-104 of the VCC.  
     
   Section 6.  Adverse Claims.   The Financial
Institution does not know of any liens, claims or encumbrances relating to the Deposit Account. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar
process) against the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Debtor thereof.  
 
   
   Section 7.  Maintenance of Deposit Account   . In addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligation of the Financial Institution to honor instructions as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Financial Institution agrees to maintain the Deposit Account as follows:

of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Financial Institution agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will take all instruction with respect to the Deposit Account solely from the Collateral Agent. 

     
  (b)   Statements and Confirmations. The Financial Institution will promptly send copies of all statements,
confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Deposit Account simultaneously to each of the Debtor and the Collateral Agent at the address for each set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement; and

   W I T N E S S E T H   :  
     
  WHEREAS, Grantors are party to a U.S. Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of April 1, 2008 (the "Pledge and Security Agreement") between each of the Grantors and the other grantors party thereto and the Collateral Agent
pursuant to which the Grantors are required to execute and deliver this Trademark Security Agreement;  
    

  Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Secured Parties to enter into the
Credit Agreement, the Grantors hereby agree with the Collateral Agent, as follows:  
     
  SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Pledge and Security
Agreement and used herein have the meaning given to them in the Pledge and Security Agreement.  
     
  SECTION 2. Grant of Security Interest in Trademark Collateral. Each Grantor hereby pledges and grants to
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Grantor's right, title and interest in, to and under the following, whether presently existing or hereafter created or acquired (collectively, the
"Trademark Collateral"):  
     
  (a)   all United States, and foreign trademarks, trade names, corporate names, company names, business names, fictitious
business names, Internet domain names, service marks, certifications marks, collective marks, logos, other source or business identifiers, designs and general intangibles of a like nature, all registrations and applications for any of the foregoing,
including, but not limited to: (i) the registrations and applications referred to on Schedule I hereto (ii) all extensions or renewals of any of the foregoing, (iii) all of the goodwill of the business connected with the use of and symbolized by the
foregoing, (iv) the right to sue for past, present and future infringement or dilution of any of the foregoing or for any injury to goodwill, and (v) all Proceeds of the foregoing, including, without limitation, licenses, royalties, income payments,

  provided, that Trademark Collateral shall expressly exclude any intent-to-use application trademark application prior to the filing of a "Statement of Use" or "Amendment to Allege Use" with respect thereto, to the
extent, if any, that, and solely during the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark application under applicable federal law.  
     
     
     
  EXHIBIT E-1  
  

  
  SECTION 3. Security Agreement. The security interest granted pursuant to this Trademark Security Agreement is granted in
conjunction with the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement and Grantors hereby acknowledge and affirm that the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect

  SECTION 4. Applicable Law. This Trademark Security Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to its conflicts of law principles insofar as such principles would defer to the substantive laws of some other jurisdiction.

effectiveness of the Security Interest or the value of the Secured Property or which would be inconsistent with or violate the provisions of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any other written agreement between Collateral Agent and any
Grantor, or any Control Agreement or similar agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall and shall be deemed to hold all Proceeds in trust, separate and apart from other Money, Instruments,
Pledged Investment Property or property, for the benefit of Collateral Agent, until all amounts owing by the Grantors to the Secured Parties have been paid in full.

dividends and other distributions at any time payable on or with respect to the Pledged Investment Property held by such Grantor, and Collateral Agent shall immediately deliver to such  Grantor the interest or regular cash dividends received by
Collateral Agent; provided that  
     
 
  
     any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would
constitute Pledged Investment Property, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Pledged Investment Property or received in exchange for Pledged Investment Property or any part thereof, or in
redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which any Issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Investment Property, and, if received by
a Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent and shall be forthwith delivered to Collateral

Pledged Investment Property not under the control of Collateral Agent in trust, separate and apart from other property and assets of such Grantor, for the benefit of Collateral Agent until the termination of the commitments in respect of all Secured
Obligations and the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, and shall forthwith transfer control of such Pledged Investment Property to Collateral Agent, or its nominee or agent, as Collateral Agent may direct. Collateral Agent and its nominee
shall not have any duty of care with respect to the Pledged Investment Property other than to use the same care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Investment Property as it would with its own property. Collateral Agent or its nominee may
take no steps to defend or preserve any Grantor's rights against the claims or demands of others. Collateral Agent or its nominee, however, shall use reasonable efforts to give the applicable Grantor notice of any claim or demand of which it becomes
aware to permit such Grantor to have a reasonable opportunity to defend or contest the claim or demand.

of such Grantor to the Secured Parties, or Collateral Agent's rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement. No extension of time, forbearance, indulgence or other accommodation now, heretofore or hereafter given by Collateral Agent to any
Grantor shall operate as a waiver, alteration or amendment of the rights of Collateral Agent or otherwise preclude Collateral Agent from enforcing such rights.

   6.6          Statutory Waivers by Grantors

Collateral Agent or the receiver.

continuance of an Event of Default, each of Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may at any time and from time to time without notice to any Grantor (it being expressly waived by each Grantor) set-off and compensate and apply any and all
securities accounts, futures accounts, deposits, general or special, term or demand, provisional or final, matured or unmatured, and any other indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party, or to appropriate any other properties or assets at
any time held by such Secured Party, to or for the credit of or the account of any Grantor, against and on account of the Secured Obligations, even if any of them are contingent or unmatured.

Section 6.9 may be made, whether commercially reasonable or not, with or without any special condition as to the upset price, reserve bid, title or evidence of title or other matter and may be made from time to time as Collateral Agent in its sole
discretion deems fit, with power to vary or rescind any sale or buy in at any public sale and resell without being answerable for any loss. Collateral Agent may sell the Pledged Investment Property for a consideration payable by instalments either
with or without taking security for the payment of the instalments and may make and deliver to any purchaser good and sufficient conveyances of the Pledged Investment Property and give receipts for the purchase money, and the sale shall be a
perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each Grantor and all those claiming an interest by, from, through or under such Grantor. If there is a sale pursuant to this Section 6.9, each Grantor agrees to provide all information, certificates
and consents required under applicable securities laws or under the rules, by-laws or policies of the exchanges on which any of the Pledged Investment Property may be listed and posted for trading to permit the sale of the Pledged Investment
Property in compliance with the applicable laws, rules, by-laws or policies.  
     
  Without limiting the generality of Section 6.1 (d), each Grantor acknowledges that when disposing of any of the Pledged Investment Property, Collateral
Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Investment Property, or to sell any or all of the Pledged Investment Property as a control block sale at more than a stated premium to the "market price" of any
securities forming part of the Pledged Investment Property, by reason of certain provisions contained in applicable securities laws and applicable securities laws of other jurisdictions but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to
a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Investment Property as principal and to comply with any other resale restrictions provided for in the applicable securities laws and other
applicable securities laws. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favourable to the seller than if the sale were a public sale or a control block sale and, notwithstanding such
circumstances, agrees that any private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by reason of its being a private sale. Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged
Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of the Pledged Investment Property to qualify the Pledged Investment Property for public sale under the applicable securities laws or under applicable securities laws of other
jurisdictions even if the issuer would agree to do so, or to permit a prospective purchaser to make a formal offer to all or substantially all holders of any class of securities forming any part of the Pledged Investment Property.  
     
  In addition, since United States federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Pledged Investment Property may be effected, each Grantor agrees that Collateral Agent may attempt to
sell in the United States all or any part of the Pledged Investment Property by a private placement. In so doing, Collateral Agent may solicit offers to buy all or any part of the  Pledged  Investment  Property  for  cash,
 from  a  limited  number  of investors deemed by Collateral  
     
 
  
     Agent, in its sole discretion, to be responsible
parties who might be interested in purchasing the Pledged Investment Property. If Collateral Agent shall solicit offers from not less than five investors, then the acceptance by Collateral Agent of the highest offer obtained shall be deemed to be a
commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Pledged Investment Property.  
     
   6.10        Limitation of Liability  
     
  Collateral
Agent shall not be liable or accountable:  
     
  (a)           by reason of any entry into or
taking possession of all or any of the Secured Property, to account as mortgagee in possession or for anything except actual receipts, or for any loss on realization or any act or omission for which a secured party in possession might be liable; or
 
     
  (b)           for any failure to (i)
exercise or exhaust any of its rights and remedies, (ii) take possession of, seize, collect, realize, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or obtain payment for the Secured Property, or (iii) protect the Secured Property from depreciating in value or
becoming worthless, and shall not, in each case, be bound to institute proceedings for such purposes or for the purpose of preserving any rights, remedies or powers of Collateral Agent, any Grantor or any other Person in respect of same. 

     
 
Collateral Agent shall not by virtue of these presents be deemed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Secured Property. Each Grantor releases and discharges Collateral Agent and the receiver from every claim of every nature, whether
sounding in damages or not, which may arise or be caused to such Grantor or any Person claiming through or under such Grantor by reason or as a result of anything done or not done by Collateral Agent or any successor or assign claiming through or
under Collateral Agent or the receiver under the provisions of this Agreement unless such claim be the result of gross negligence or wilful misconduct.  
     
   6.11        Redemption of Secured Property  
     
  At any time before Collateral Agent has: (a) disposed of the Secured Property; or (b) elected irrevocably to retain all or part of
the Secured Property, a Grantor may redeem the Secured Property by tendering payment of the aggregate amount of the outstanding Secured Obligations at such time.  
     
   6.12
       Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property Rights   
     
  For the purpose of enabling Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as Collateral Agent
shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor shall, upon request by Collateral Agent at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, grant to Collateral Agent an irrevocable (until the
termination of the Credit Agreement) non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or, solely to the extent necessary to exercise such rights and remedies, sublicense any of the
Grantors' Intellectual Property Rights, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.12 shall require any Grantor to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the
termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation under any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to a right to use or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by
the Credit Agreement, with respect to such property; provided, further, that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trade-marks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect  to  the goods and
 services on which such Trade-marks are used sufficient to preserve the validity  
  
 
  
  of such Trade-marks. The use of such
license by Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of Collateral Agent, during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any permitted license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by Collateral Agent in accordance
herewith shall be binding upon Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.  
    

   ARTICLE 7  
   POWER OF ATTORNEY  
     
   7.1          Grant  
     
  For valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Grantor irrevocably constitutes and appoints Collateral Agent as the true and lawful attorney of such Grantor with power of substitution in the name of such Grantor to
do any and all acts and things, complete any endorsements or registrations and execute and deliver all agreements, documents and instruments as Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, considers necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions
and purposes of this Agreement or to exercise its rights and remedies, provided that such power of attorney shall not be exercised until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Grantor ratifies and agrees to ratify all acts of any
attorney taken or done in accordance with this Section 7.1. This power of attorney being coupled with an interest shall not be revoked or terminated by any act and shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement has been terminated.
 
     
   ARTICLE 8  
  
ADDITIONAL GRANTORS  
     
   8.1          Addition of New Grantors  
     
  Additional
Persons may from time to time after the date of this Agreement become Grantors under this Agreement by executing and delivering to Collateral Agent a supplemental agreement (together with all schedules thereto, a "Joinder") to this
Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Effective from and after the date of the execution and delivery by any Person to Collateral Agent of a Joinder:  
     
  (a)           such Person shall be, and
shall be deemed for all purposes to be, a Grantor under this Agreement with the same force and effect, and subject to the same agreements, representations (except that such representations shall be deemed to be given as of the date such Grantor
executes a Joinder), indemnities, liabilities, obligations, liens and Security Interest, as if such Person had been an original signatory to this Agreement as a "Grantor"; and  
     
  (b)           all Secured Property of such
Person shall be, and shall be deemed for all purposes to be, "Secured Property" of such Person for the purposes of this Agreement and subject to the "Security Interest" granted by such Person in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement as security for the due payment and performance of the Secured Obligations of such Person.  
   
 
  The execution and delivery of a Joinder by any additional Person shall not require the consent of any Grantor and all
of the liabilities and obligations of any Grantor under this Agreement, and the Security Interest granted by each Grantor shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor
hereunder.  
  
    
  
   ARTICLE 9  
  
GENERAL  
     
   9.1          Notices  
     
  Any notice,
consent or approval required or permitted to be given in connection with this Agreement (in this Section referred to as a "Notice") shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if delivered in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
 
     
   9.2          Continuing Security  
     
  The Security
Interest is not in substitution for any other security for the Secured Obligations or for any other agreement between the parties creating a security interest in all or part of the Secured Property, whether made before or after this Agreement, and
such security and such agreements shall be deemed to be continuing and not affected by this Agreement unless Collateral Agent and the Grantors expressly provide to the contrary in writing.  
     
   9.3
         Amendment  
     
  No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver or termination of this Agreement and, unless otherwise specified, no consent or approval by any party,
shall be binding unless executed in writing by the necessary Persons as required pursuant to the Credit Agreement.  
     
   9.4          Assignment and Enurement  
     
  This Agreement may be assigned by Collateral Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement and any such assignee shall be entitled to exercise any and all discretions, powers and rights of Collateral Agent under this Agreement. No Grantor
may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement unless permitted to do so pursuant to the Credit Agreement. All of Collateral Agent's rights under this Agreement shall enure to the benefit of its successors and
assigns and all of any Grantor's obligations under this Agreement shall bind such Grantor and its successors and assigns.  
     
   9.5          Further Assurances  
     
  Each Grantor shall at all times do all such things and provide all such reasonable assurances as may be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall provide such further documents or instruments required
by Collateral Agent as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the purpose of this Agreement and carry out its provisions, and for the better granting, transferring, assigning, charging, setting over, assuring, confirming or perfecting
the Security Interest and the priority accorded to them by law or under this Agreement.  
     
   9.6          Access; Right of Inspection  
     
  Collateral
Agent shall at all times have full and free access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to all Collateral Records and the books, correspondence and records of each Grantor; provided that, prior notice shall not be required
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default. Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and each Grantor agrees to render to Collateral
Agent, at such Grantor's cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. Collateral Agent and its representatives shall at all times also have the right to enter any premises of each Grantor
and inspect any property of each Grantor where any of the Secured Property of such Grantor granted pursuant to this Agreement is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein;
provided that as long as no Default or Event  
     
 
  
     of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Agent and/or its
representatives shall enter such premises during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice. As long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall, and shall cause its representatives to,
endeavour to minimize the cost and disruption of the Grantors' business resulting from any such access and inspection.  
     
   9.7          Filings  
     
  Each Grantor will promptly effect all registrations, filings, recordings and all re-registrations, re-filings and re-recordings of or in respect of this Agreement and the Security Interest in all offices in all jurisdictions and at such
times as may be necessary or of advantage in perfecting, maintaining and protecting the validity, effectiveness and priority of such Security Interest. Collateral Agent is, however, authorized, at its option, to make such registrations, filings or
recordings or such re-registrations, re-filings or re-recordings against such Grantor as it may deem necessary or appropriate to perfect, maintain or protect the Security Interest.  
     
   9.8
         Execution and Delivery  
     
  This Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts and may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic means and all such
counterparts, facsimiles or other electronic means shall together constitute one and the same agreement.  
   
 
  Each Grantor acknowledges receiving a copy of this Agreement and hereby waives any right it has to receive a copy of
any financing statement or financing change statement with respect to any registrations made at the Ontario Personal Property Registry, or any similar registries in other jurisdictions, pursuant hereto.  
     
   9.9
         Security Interest Effective Immediately  
     
  Neither the execution of, nor any filing with respect to, this Agreement shall obligate any Lender to make any advance or loan or
further advance, or bind any Lender to grant or extend any credit to the Grantors, but the Security Interest shall take effect forthwith (a) with respect to Grantors party hereto on the date hereof, upon the execution of this Agreement by such
Grantors, and (b) with respect to any Person that becomes a Grantor after the date hereof, upon the execution of a Joinder by such Grantor.  
     
   9.10
       Reasonableness  
     
  Each Grantor acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement and, in particular, those respecting rights, remedies and powers of the Secured Parties
and any receiver against any Grantor, its business and any Secured Property upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, are commercially reasonable and not manifestly unreasonable.  
     
   9.11
       Discharge  
     
  Upon termination of the commitments in respect of all Secured Obligations and full and final payment and performance by the Grantors of the Secured
Obligations, Collateral Agent shall upon request in writing by the Grantors deliver up this Agreement to the Grantors and shall at the expense of the Grantors cancel and discharge the Security Interest and execute and deliver to the Grantors such
documents as shall be requisite to discharge the Security Interest. Collateral Agent authorizes Borrower or its designees to take all necessary steps to remove Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as loss payee and/or additional
insured from each policy of insurance of the Credit Parties, such authorization to become effective upon termination of the commitments in respect of all Secured Obligations and full and final payment and  performance by the  Grantors of
the Secured  Obligations.  Upon any disposition of property  
     
 
  
     
  permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Security Interest shall be deemed to be automatically released in respect of such property and
such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person.  
     
   9.12        Intercreditor Agreement  
     
  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the terms hereof are subject, in all respects, to the terms of Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent applicable hereto.  
     
   9.13
       Attornment  
     
  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the
Province of Ontario in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that Collateral Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Grantor or its properties in the
courts of any jurisdiction. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action or proceeding in any such court.  
     
   9.14        Unlimited Liability Securities  
     
  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent that any Unlimited Liability Securities constitute Secured Property, Collateral Agent shall not become or be deemed to become a member, shareholder or other equity holder,
or obtain or have the right to obtain any other indicia of ownership of any Unlimited Company, and no provision in this Agreement (except this Section 9.14) or actions taken by Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement which might provide or be
deemed to provide otherwise, in whole or in part, shall, without the express written consent of Collateral Agent, apply in respect of Unlimited Liability Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, and except as otherwise provided in the last sentence
of this Section 9.14, no provision of this Agreement or actions taken by Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall apply, or be deemed to apply, so as to cause Collateral Agent to be, and Collateral Agent shall not be or be deemed to be or
entitled to:  
     
  (a)           be registered as a
shareholder, member or other equity holder, or apply to be registered as a shareholder, member or other equity holder, of any Unlimited Company;  
     
  (b)           request or assent to a
notation being entered in its favour in the share or equity register in respect of Unlimited Liability Securities;  
     
  (c)           hold itself out as a
shareholder, member or other equity holder of any Unlimited Company; or  
     
  (d)           act or purport to act as a
shareholder, member or other equity holder of any Unlimited Company, or obtain, exercise or attempt to exercise any rights of a shareholder, member or other equity holder, including the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote any Unlimited
Liability Securities or to be entitled to receive or receive any distribution in respect of Unlimited Liability Securities.  
     
 
  
     The foregoing limitation shall not restrict Collateral Agent from exercising the
rights which it is entitled to exercise hereunder in respect of any Unlimited Liability Securities constituting Collateral at any time that Collateral Agent shall be entitled to realize on all or any portion of the Collateral.  
     
   9.15        Paramountcy of Credit Agreement  
     
  If there is a conflict, inconsistency, ambiguity, or difference between any provision of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the
provision of the Credit Agreement shall prevail, and such provision of this Agreement shall be amended to the extent only to eliminate any such conflict, inconsistency, ambiguity or difference; provided, that no right or remedy of or for the benefit
of any Secured Party in this Agreement which may be in addition to the rights and remedies of or for the benefit of such Secured Party in the Credit Agreement, nor any obligation (including, for the avoidance of any doubt, with respect to any
representation, warranty, or covenant) of any Grantor in this Agreement which may be in addition to the obligations of such Grantor contained in the Credit Agreement, shall constitute a conflict, inconsistency, ambiguity or difference for the
purposes of this Section 9.15.  
     
   9.16        US Collateral  
     
  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no representation, warranty or covenant provided in this Agreement shall apply to any personal property of any Grantor if at the time such representation or warranty is
made or deemed to be made, or if at the time such covenant is to be performed, as the case may be, such personal property is US Collateral.

Insolvency Act 1986 shall apply to this Debenture except insofar as they are expressly or impliedly excluded and where there is any ambiguity or conflict between the powers contained in the Act and/or the Insolvency Act 1986 and those contained in

  (a)           The restrictions contained in
sections 93 and 103 of the Act shall not apply to the Security and the power of sale and other powers contained in section 101 of the Act and all other enforcement powers conferred in this Debenture with regard to the Security shall be immediately

misconduct in the exercise of such power shall be in damages only.

Grantor or the Collateral Agent as the Collateral Agent  shall  think  fit)  without  any  intermediate  obligation  on  its  part to  apply  the  same  or  any part
 thereof  in  or  towards  the  discharge  of  the  Secured   Obligations  provided   that  
     
 
  
       

  if such monies are at any time sufficient to discharge the
Secured Obligations in full, they, shall be promptly so applied.  
     
    14.7       
Collateral Agent's power to remedy breaches

covenants contained in this Debenture, it shall be lawful for the Collateral Agent, but the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation, to take such action on behalf of that Grantor (including, without limitation, the payment of money) as may in the
Collateral Agent's reasonable opinion be required to ensure that such covenants are performed. Any losses, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in taking such action shall be reimbursed by that Grantor immediately on written

  (f)           
take, or to require any of the Credit Parties to take, any steps to render the Security effective as regards any property situate outside England and Wales or to secure the creation of any ancillary charge under the laws of any other jurisdiction;
or  
     
  (g)
          require any further assurances in relation to this Debenture.  
     
    14.11     Disclaimer 
     
  The Collateral Agent shall not accept responsibility or be liable for:  
     
  (a)           the
adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information supplied by any person in connection with the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or any other document arrangement or agreement entered into in connection with the Credit
Documents;  
     

 (b)
          the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other document, arrangement or agreement entered into in connection with the Credit Documents;
 
     
  (c)
          any losses to any person caused as a result of taking or omitting to take any action in relation to any of the Credit Documents or the Security;  
     
  (d)           any
shortfall which arises on enforcement of the Security; or  
     
  (e)           the use or application by any Credit Party, or any other person, of any funds which the Collateral Agent has released or directed the release of under this Debenture or the Credit
Agreement.  
     
    15.          CONTINUATION AND PRESERVATION OF SECURITY  
     
    15.1        Subsequent Liens 
     
  If the Collateral Agent or any other Beneficiary receives, or is deemed to be affected
by, notice, whether actual or constructive, of any subsequent Lien or other interests affecting the Collateral and/or the proceeds of sale thereof, the Collateral Agent or such other Beneficiary may open a new account or accounts for each Grantor in
its books. If the Collateral Agent or such other Beneficiary does not open a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when it received or was deemed to have received notice (unless it gives express notice to the
contrary to each Grantor). As from that time, all payments by or on behalf of each Grantor to the Collateral Agent or such other Beneficiary will (in the absence of any express appropriation to the contrary) be credited or be treated as having been
credited to the new account and will not operate to reduce the Secured Obligations.  
     
 
  
       15.2        Waiver of defences 
     
  Each Grantor shall be deemed to be a principal debtor and the sole, original and
independent obligor for the Secured Obligations and the Collateral shall be deemed to be a principal security for the Secured Obligations. The liability of any Grantor under this Debenture shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by
any circumstance, act, omission, matter or thing which but for this provision might operate to reduce, release, prejudice or otherwise exonerate that Grantor from its obligations under the Credit Documents in whole or in part, including without
limitation and whether or not known to any Credit Party, the Collateral Agent or any other person:  
     
  (a)           the
winding-up, dissolution, administration, re-organisation, amalgamation, merger or reconstruction of any Grantor or any other person or any change in its status, function, control or ownership; or  
     
  (b)           any
time, indulgence, concession, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Grantor or any other person; or  
     
  (c)           the
release of any Grantor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor thereof; or  
     
  (d)           the
taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take-up or enforce, any rights against, or security over, the assets of any Grantor or any other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of
any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to release or to realise the full value of any security; or  
     
  (e)           any
legal limitation, disability, incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of, or other circumstance relating to, any Grantor or any other person; or  
     
  (f)           
any amendment or other variation (however fundamental including any amendment or variation increasing or extending the maturity of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or changing the obligors in respect thereof) or replacement of any Credit
Document or any other document or security; or  
     
  (g)           any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or frustration of any obligation of any Grantor or any other person under any Credit Document or any other document or security, or any
failure of any Grantor or any other Credit Party to become bound by the terms of any other Credit Document, in each case whether through any want of power or authority or otherwise; or  
     
  (h)           any
postponement, discharge, reduction, non-provability or similar circumstances affecting any obligation of any Grantor or any other Credit Party under a Credit Document resulting from any insolvency, liquidation or dissolution proceedings or from any
law, regulation or order,  
     
  so that the obligations of each Grantor under this Debenture remain in
full force and effect and that this Debenture shall be construed accordingly as if there were no such circumstance, act, omission, matter or thing.  
   
 
  
       15.3        Immediate recourse 
     
  Each Grantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Collateral Agent (or
any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security in respect of the Secured Obligations or claim payment from any person before enforcing the Security. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or
provision of the Credit Documents to the contrary.  
     
    15.4        Non-competition 
     
  Subject as provided below, until the Collateral Agent is satisfied that all of the
Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full, no Grantor shall, by virtue of any payment made, security realised or monies received or recovered under any of the Credit Documents for or on account of the
liability of any Credit Party:  
     
  (a)
          take the benefit (whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights, security or monies held, received or receivable by the Collateral Agent or any other Beneficiary or be entitled to
any right of contribution or indemnity; or  
     
  (b)           claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Credit Party or its estate in competition with the Collateral Agent or any other Beneficiary; or  
     
  (c)          
receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or security from or on account of any Credit Party, or exercise any right of set-off against any Credit Party.  
     
  Each Grantor shall hold in trust for and forthwith payor transfer to the Collateral
Agent (acting as agent and trustee as aforesaid) any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to the above. If any Grantor exercises any right of set-off contrary to the above, it will forthwith pay an amount equal to
the amount set off to the Collateral Agent (acting as agent and trustee as aforesaid). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following any enforcement of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent under this Debenture, each Grantor will (at its own cost)
promptly take such steps or actions as are referred to above as the Collateral Agent may from time to time stipulate.  
     
    15.5        Security
held by each Grantor  
     
  Each Grantor warrants that it has not taken, and agrees that it will
not take, from any other Credit Party or any person party to any related security any Lien, guarantee, indemnity, bond or other assurance in respect of or in connection with its obligations under this Debenture. If any Grantor takes any such Lien,
guarantee, indemnity, bond or other assurance in contravention of this Clause, it shall hold it on trust for the Beneficiaries until such time as all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full (and the Beneficiaries are not under any
further obligation, actual or contingent, to any Credit Party) and shall on request promptly deposit the same with and/or charge the same to the Beneficiaries in such manner as the Collateral Agent may require as security for the due and punctual
payment, performance and discharge by each Grantors of the Secured Obligations.  
    

    15.6        Continuing security 
     
  The Security shall remain in full force and effect as a continuing security for the
Secured Obligations unless and until discharged by the Collateral Agent and shall extend to the ultimate balance of the Secured Obligations notwithstanding any interim or intermediate payment, discharge or settlement of account or other matter of
the whole or any part of the Secured Obligations.  
  
   
    15.7        No prejudice 
     
  The Security shall not be prejudiced or affected by the invalidity or unenforceability
of any other document or agreement, or by the Collateral Agent now or hereafter dealing with, exchanging, releasing or abstaining from perfecting or enforcing any of the Security, or by any time or indulgence granted to any Grantor, the Collateral
Agent (in any capacity) or any other Beneficiary, or by any modification of the terms of the trust upon which the Collateral Agent holds the Security or by any other act or thing which might otherwise prejudice that Security.  
     
    15.8        Cumulative Security 
     
  The Security shall be cumulative, in addition to, and independent of, every other
security which the Collateral Agent or any Beneficiary may at any time hold in respect of the Secured Obligations or any other obligations or any rights, powers and remedies provided by law. The Security shall not merge with any prior security held
by the Collateral Agent (acting in any capacity) or by any Beneficiary over the whole or any part of the Collateral.  
     
    15.9        Tacking

     
  Each Lender must perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement (including any
obligation to make further advances).  
     
    16.          POWER OF ATTORNEY  
     
 
  16.1        Appointment 
     
  Each Grantor, by way of security, hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent and
the persons deriving title under it and separately any Receiver jointly or severally to be its attorney or attorneys for them (with full power of substitution and delegation) and in the name and on behalf and as its act and deed to sign, seal,
execute, deliver, perfect and do all deeds, instruments, acts and things which may be required:  
     
  (a)           for
carrying out any obligations imposed on any Grantor by or pursuant to this Debenture where such Grantor has failed to perform such obligations and following the occurrence of an Event of Default;  
     
  (b)          
following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, for carrying any sale, lease or other dealing by the Collateral Agent or Receiver into effect;  
     
  (c)          
following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, for conveying or transferring any legal estate or other interest in land or any other property;  
     
  (d)          
following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, for getting in all or any part of the Collateral; and  
     
  (e)          
generally for enabling the Collateral Agent and any Receiver to exercise the respective powers, authorities and discretions conferred on them by or pursuant to this Debenture or by law.  
     
  The provisions of this Clause 16.1 shall take effect as and by way of variation to the
provisions of sections 109(6) and 109(8) of the Act, which provisions as so varied and extended shall be deemed incorporated in this Debenture as if they related to a Receiver of the Collateral and not merely a Receiver of the income thereof.
 
  
    
  
    16.2        Ratification 
     
  Each Grantor covenants with the Collateral Agent and separately with any Receiver that,
on request, it will ratify and confirm all security agreements, documents and acts and all transactions entered into by the Collateral Agent or any Receiver (or by that Grantor at the instance of the Collateral Agent (and the persons deriving title
under it) or any Receiver) in the proper exercise of its or his powers set out in this Debenture and each Grantor irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that the power of attorney contained in this Clause 16 is given to secure the proprietary interest
of, and the performance of obligations owed to, the respective donees within the meaning of the Powers of Attorney Act 1971.  
  

 
  
   
   17.           INDEMNITIES   
     
   17.1 
       General   
     
  Each Grantor shall, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, notwithstanding any release or discharge of all or any part of
the Security, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent (and its nominees, delegates and sub-delegates), each other Beneficiary from time to time and any Receiver on demand against any losses, actions, obligations, claims, damages, penalties,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements), demands, liabilities or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed as a consequence of any breach by it of the provisions of this Debenture, the
exercise or purported exercise of any of the rights and powers conferred on them by this Debenture or otherwise relating to the Collateral or the Security (otherwise than as a result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Collateral
Agent, its nominees, delegates or sub-delegates or of any such Beneficiary).  
      
    17.2         Taxes   
     
  Each Grantor agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent, each other Beneficiary and any Receiver on demand against all present or future stamp, withholding or other taxes or duties and any penalties or interest with
respect thereto which may be imposed by any competent authority in connection with the execution or enforcement of this Debenture, repayment and discharge of the Secured Obligations or in consequence of any payment made pursuant hereto being
impeached or declared void for any reason.  
      
    17.3         Costs and expenses   
     
  Immediately upon demand, each Grantor shall pay all fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees and any value added tax) incurred from time to time in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of rights
under this Debenture by the Collateral Agent, or any Receiver, attorney, manager, trustee or any other person appointed by the Collateral Agent under this Debenture or by statute.  
      
  
 18.           WAIVERS AND REMEDIES   
     

    18.1         Waivers   
     
  No failure or delay by any Beneficiary (or the Collateral Agent on their behalf) in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or any partial exercise or waiver of any right
or remedy preclude its further exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy as though no waiver had been made and no relaxation or indulgence granted.  
      
  
 18.2         Severability   
     
  If any provision of this Debenture shall be prohibited, illegal, invalid or unenforceable under applicable law,
it shall be ineffective only to such extent and in the relevant jurisdiction, without invalidating or otherwise detrimentally affecting the remainder of this Debenture.  
      
  
 19.           REINSTATEMENT AND RELEASE   
     
 
  
       19.1       
Reinstatement 
     
  Any settlement or discharge under this Debenture between any Grantor
and the Collateral Agent or the Beneficiaries (or any of them) shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Collateral Agent or the Beneficiaries (or any of them) by any Credit Party or any Grantor or any other person on behalf of any
Credit Party or, as the case may be, any Grantor being avoided or set aside or ordered to be refunded or reduced by or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation and, if such condition is not satisfied, the Collateral Agent and/or the
Beneficiaries shall be entitled to recover from each Grantor on demand the value of any such security or the amount of any such payment as if such settlement or discharge had not occurred. The Collateral Agent or any other Beneficiary may concede or
compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.  
     
    19.2        Release

     
  Once all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full and neither the Collateral Agent
nor any other Beneficiary has any contingent liability to advance further monies to, or incur liability on behalf of, any Grantor or any other Credit Party, the Collateral Agent and each other Beneficiary shall, at the request and cost of the
Grantors, promptly take any action which may be necessary to release and discharge the Security and reassign the Collateral to the Grantors.  
     
 
  20.          CURRENCY 
     
  Any amount received or recovered by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sum expressed
to be due to it from any Grantor under this Debenture in a currency other than the currency (the "contractual currency") in which such sum is so expressed to be due (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, any judgment or order
of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction, the winding-up of each Grantor or otherwise) shall only constitute a discharge to that Grantor to the extent of the amount of the contractual currency that the Collateral Agent is able, in accordance with
its usual practice (acting reasonably), to purchase with the amount of the currency so received or recovered on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if later, the first date on which such purchase is practicable). If the amount of the contractual
currency so purchased is less than the amount of the contractual currency so expressed to be due that Grantor shall fully indemnify the Collateral Agent against any loss sustained by it as a result, including the cost of making any such purchase.
 
     
    21.          NOTICES

    21.3        Deemed service

then due for repayment to that Beneficiary); and  
     
  (b)           set off any other obligations (whether or not then due for performance) owed by that Beneficiary to a Grantor, in each case against any liability of that Grantor to the relevant
Beneficiary under the Credit Documents.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this policy, the following endorsement will take effect immediately:  
     
 
Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. (as Collateral Agent) and each Agent and Lender party to the Credit and Guaranty Agreement to which the Collateral Agent and the Named Insured are parties, are added as

    Form of Endorsement -Property Policies 
     
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this policy, the following endorsement will take effect immediately:  
     
 
Loss or damage under this policy (including, without limitation, any business interruption coverage provided thereunder) shall be payable first to Goldman Sachs Credit Partners, L.P., as Collateral Agent
("Collateral Agent") at its 30 Hudson Street, 36th Floor, Jersey City, NJ 07302 office, as its interests (present or future) may appear, under that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement by and among Abitibi-Consolidated Company of
Canada ("Borrower"), Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. ("Holdings") and certain of Holdings' Subsidiaries (together with Borrower and Holdings, collectively, the "Insured"), as Guarantors, the Lenders party
thereto from time to time, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent (as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Credit Agreement") and the related
documents and agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith. Capitalised terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement. This policy shall not be invalidated as to the
interest of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties by any act or neglect of the Insured or owner of the within described property, nor by any foreclosure or other proceedings or notice of sale relating to the property or the granting or enforcement of
any lien or security interest relating to the property, nor by any change in the title or ownership of said property, nor by the occupancy of the premises for a purpose more hazardous than permitted by this policy, nor for any errors, omissions or
improper reporting by the Insured. It is hereby expressly acknowledged that such interest of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties shall, to the extent of any and all indebtedness of any nature now or hereafter owing or to become owing from the named
Insured or the owner of the within described property, be deemed to extend to all of the within described property and any and all loss or damage payable under this policy in respect to any or all thereof, notwithstanding that part or parts of such

to notify Collateral Agent and Collateral Agent shall have 30 days from receipt of such notice within to file a claim, irrespective of the provisions of this policy. The rights of Collateral Agent, individually and on behalf of and for the benefit

subordinate to the prior and paramount lien and rights of Collateral Agent, individually and on behalf and for the benefit of Secured Parties, for any and all indebtedness not fully discharged by the payment of loss or damage under this policy to
Collateral Agent, individually and on behalf and for the benefit of Secured Parties.  
  
  
    
  It is hereby understood and agreed that the policy to which this clause is attached will not be changed in any way which may
affect Collateral Agent's or any Secured Party's rights or interest under this policy without prior written notice to Collateral Agent.

of Default waived, and no act or omission by the Attorney will extend to, or affect, any subsequent Event of Default or the rights of the Attorney arising from such Event of Default. Any such waiver must be in writing and signed by the Attorney. No
failure on the part of the Attorney or any of the Grantors to exercise, and no delay by the Attorney or the Grantors in exercising, any right pursuant to this Deed will operate as a waiver of such right. No single or partial exercise of any such

  2.1.2.       The Pledgor and the
Collateral Agent acknowledge that the obligations of the Pledgor under Clause 2.1.1 are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of the Pledgor to any Secured Party under
any Credit Document (its "Corresponding Debt") nor shall the amounts for which the Pledgor is liable under Clause 2.1.1 (its "Parallel Debt") be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that:  

    
  (a)           the
Parallel Debt of the Pledgor shall be decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and

recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Clause 2, and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any Security granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with the terms

separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Collateral Agent to receive payment under the Parallel Debt.

the parties to this Deed confirm that the claim of the Collateral Agent against the Pledgor in respect of a Parallel Debt and the claims of anyone or more of the Secured Parties against the Pledgor in respect of the Corresponding Obligations payable
by the Pledgor to such Secured Parties do not constitute common property (gemeenschap) within the meaning of section 3:166 of the Dutch Civil Code and that the provisions relating to common property shall not apply. If, however, it shall be
held that the claim of the Collateral Agent and the claims of anyone or more of the Secured Parties do constitute common property and the provisions of common property do apply, the Secured Parties agree that this Deed shall constitute the

      3.8 Change in Tax Law

security interest thereon or (ii) subjecting Mortgagee or any of the Lenders to any tax or changing the basis of taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust, or other liens or debts secured thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, in each such
case, so as to affect this Mortgage, the Indebtedness or Mortgagee, and the result is to increase the taxes imposed upon or the cost to Mortgagee of maintaining the Indebtedness, or to reduce the amount of any payments receivable hereunder, then,
and in any such event, Mortgagor shall, on demand, pay to Mortgagee and the Lenders additional amounts to compensate for such increased costs or reduced amounts, provided that if any such payment or reimbursement shall be unlawful, or taxable to
Mortgagee, or would constitute usury or render the Indebtedness wholly or partially usurious under applicable law, then Mortgagor shall payor reimburse Mortgagee or the Lenders for payment of the lawful and non-usurious portion thereof.  

    
    3.9 Mortgage Tax  . Mortgagor shall (i) pay when due any
tax imposed upon it or upon Mortgagee or any Lender or Lender Counterparty pursuant to the tax law of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located in connection with the execution, delivery and recordation of this Mortgage and any of the

amount secured by the Mortgage is less than the Indebtedness, then the amount secured shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that Borrower repays with respect to the Indebtedness and shall not be reduced by any intervening repayments of
the Indebtedness unless arising from the Mortgaged Property. So long as the balance of the Indebtedness exceeds the amount secured, any payments of the Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be applied against, or to reduce, the portion of the
Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage. Such payments shall instead be deemed to reduce only such portions of the Indebtedness as are secured by other collateral located outside of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located or as are
unsecured.

    4.1 Remedies.  If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee's election, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses: (a) declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment,
protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Mortgagor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable; (b) enter the Mortgaged
Property and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto or located thereon. If Mortgagor remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property after an Event of Default and without Mortgagee's prior written
consent, Mortgagee may invoke any legal remedies to  
     
     
     
     
     
  6  
  
  
    
  dispossess Mortgagor; (c) hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the
Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Mortgagee may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Mortgagee deems necessary or
desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Mortgagee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions hereof; (d) institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Mortgage, either by judicial action or by power
of sale, in which case the Mortgaged Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels. With respect to any notices required or permitted under the VCC, Mortgagor agrees that ten (l0) days' prior written notice shall be deemed
commercially reasonable. At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the
fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and
such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagee or any of the Lenders may be a
purchaser at such sale and if Mortgagee is the highest bidder, Mortgagee shall credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Mortgagee against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash. In the event this Mortgage is foreclosed
by judicial action, appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is waived; (e) make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Mortgagor or regard to the adequacy of
the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers
in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions hereof; and/or (f) exercise all
other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Credit Documents or otherwise available at law or inequity.  
     
    4.2 Separate Sales  . The Mortgaged Property may be sold
in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by anyone or more sales.  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  7  
   

   
  

      4.3 Remedies Cumulative,
Concurrent and Nonexclusive  . Mortgagee shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Credit Documents and available at law or equity (including the DCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulated and concurrent, (b) may be pursued
separately, successively or concurrently against Mortgagor or others obligated under the Credit Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against anyone or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee or the Lenders, (c) may be exercised
as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.
No action by Mortgagee or the Lenders in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Credit Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.  
     
    4.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral  . Mortgagee may
release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing,
affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest created in or evidenced by the Credit Documents or their status as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property. For payment of the Indebtedness,
Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.  
     
    4.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets
 . To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision
exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of Mortgagee's
election to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Credit Documents; and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation. Borrower waives the statutory right of
redemption and equity of redemption.  
     
    4.6
Discontinuance of Proceedings.  If Mortgagee or the Lenders shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Credit Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Mortgagee or
the Lenders shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor and Mortgagee or the Lenders shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Credit Documents, the Mortgaged
Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee or the Lenders shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default
which may then exist or the right of Mortgagee or the Lenders thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Credit Documents for such Event of Default.  
     
    4.7 Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds of any sale of,
and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Mortgagee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Credit
Agreement.  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  8  
   

   
    4.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure  . Any sale of the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof will divest all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the property sold. Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased. If
Mortgagor retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Mortgagor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Mortgagor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to
eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.  
     
    4.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of
Enforcement  . If any Event of Default exists, Mortgagee and each of the Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor in accordance with the Credit Agreement. All sums
advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee or any Lender under this Section, or otherwise under this Mortgage or any of the other Credit Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense
incurred if not repaid within five (5) days after demand therefor, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the rate or rates at which interest is then computed on the Indebtedness, and all such sums, together with interest thereon,
shall be secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Mortgage and the other Credit Documents, or the enforcement,
compromise or settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Mortgage and the other Credit Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee or the Lenders in respect thereof, by
litigation or otherwise.  
   
 
    4.10 No Mortgagee in
Possession  . Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Section, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Section 5, the security interests under Section 6, nor any other remedies afforded to Mortgagee or the Lenders under
the Credit Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Mortgagee or any Lender to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee or any Lender to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do
so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.  
     
    SECTION 5.         ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND
LEASES  
     
    5.1 Assignment.  In furtherance of and
in addition to the assignment made by Mortgagor herein, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or hereafter
entered into, and all of its right, title and interest in and to all Rents. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor
shall have a revocable license from Mortgagee to exercise all rights extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in the payment and performance of the
Obligations and to otherwise use the same. The foregoing license is granted subject to the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
whether or  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  9  
   

   
  

    not legal proceedings have commenced, and without
regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of Mortgagor, the license herein granted shall automatically expire and terminate, without notice by Mortgagee (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor).
 
     
    5.2 Perfection Upon Recordation  .
Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has taken all reasonable actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority,
present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases subject to the Permitted Liens and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that upon
recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee's interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, "choate" and enforced as to Mortgagor and all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any
case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Mortgage, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a
receiver or taking any other affirmative action.  
     
    5.3 Bankruptcy Provisions  . Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that (a) this Mortgage shall constitute a "security agreement" for purposes of
Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Mortgage extends to property of Mortgagor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents, and (c) such security interest
shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.  
     
    SECTION 6.         SECURITY AGREEMENT 

     
    6.1 Security Interest  . This Mortgage
constitutes a "security agreement" on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law and with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards.
To this end, Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee a first and prior security interest in the, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance, Condemnation Awards and all other Mortgaged Property which is personal property to
secure the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations subject to the Permitted Liens, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such property. Any notice of
sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards sent to Mortgagor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the
DCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Mortgagor.  
     
    6.2 Financing Statements  . Mortgagor shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, such financing statements and such further assurances as Mortgagee may, from time to time, reasonably
consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Mortgagee's security interest hereunder and Mortgagee may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  10  
   

   
  law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest. Mortgagor's chief
executive office is at the address set forth on Appendix B to the Credit Agreement.  
     
    6.3 Fixture Filing  . This Mortgage shall also constitute
a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the DCC against all of the Mortgaged Property which is or is to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained at the addresses of Debtor (Mortgagor) and
Secured Party (Mortgagee) as set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage.  
     
    SECTION 7.
        ATTORNEY-IN-FACT  
     
  Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, (a) to execute and/or record any notices of completion,
cessation of labor or any other notices that Mortgagee deems appropriate to protect Mortgagee's interest, if Mortgagor shall fail to do so within ten (l0) days after written request by Mortgagee, (b) upon the issuance of a deed pursuant to the
foreclosure of this Mortgage or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to execute all instruments of assignment, conveyance or further assurance with respect to the Leases, Rents, Fixtures, Property Agreements, Tax Refunds, Proceeds,
Insurance and Condemnation Awards in favor of the grantee of any such deed and as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose, (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration
and like papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve Mortgagee's security interests and rights in or to any of the Mortgaged Property, and (d) while any Event of Default exists, to perform any obligation of Mortgagor hereunder; provided, (i)
Mortgagee shall not under any circumstances be obligated to perform any obligation of Mortgagor; (ii) any sums advanced by Mortgagee in such performance shall be added to and included in the Indebtedness and shall bear interest at the rate or rates
at which interest is then computed on the Indebtedness provided that from the date incurred said advance is not repaid within five (5) days demand therefor; (iii) Mortgagee as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as are
actually received by Mortgagee; and (iv) Mortgagee shall not be liable to Mortgagor or any other person or entity for any failure to take any action which it is empowered to take under this Section.  
     
    SECTION 8.         MORTGAGEE AS AGENT 

     
  Mortgagee has been appointed to act as Mortgagee
hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, Lender Counterparties. Mortgagee shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and
to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Mortgaged Property), solely in accordance with this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement; provided, Mortgagee shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies
provided for herein in accordance with the instructions of (a) Requisite Lenders, or (b) after payment in full of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount
(or, with respect to any Hedge Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under such Hedge
Agreement) under all Hedge Agreements. In furtherance  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  11  
   

   
  of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Lender Counterparty, by its acceptance
of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Mortgaged Property, it being understood and agreed by such Lender Counterparty that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by
Mortgagee for the benefit of Lenders and Lender Counterparties in accordance with the terms of this Section. Mortgagee shall at all times be the same Person that is Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by
Administrative Agent pursuant to terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Mortgagee under this Mortgage; removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute removal
as Mortgagee under this Mortgage; and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Mortgagee under this Mortgage. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent under the terms of the Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring or removed Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and the retiring or removed Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Mortgagee all sums, securities and other items of Mortgaged Property held hereunder,
together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Mortgagee such amendments to
financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Mortgagee of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Mortgagee shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Mortgage thereafter accruing. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Mortgagee, the provisions of this Mortgage shall continue to enure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Mortgage while it was Mortgagee hereunder.  
     
    SECTION 9.         TERMINATION AND RELEASE. 

     
  Upon payment and performance in full of the
Obligations, subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagee, at Mortgagor's expense, shall release the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage or reconvey the Mortgaged Property to
Mortgagor.  
     
    SECTION 10.      LOCAL LAW PROVISIONS

    10.3        Without limiting
anything contained herein, at any time after an Event of Default, this Mortgage shall be subject to foreclosure and may be foreclosed as provided by law in case of past-due mortgages, and Mortgagee shall be authorized, at its option, whether or not
possession of the Mortgaged Property is taken, to sell the Mortgaged Property (or such part of parts thereof as Mortgagee may from time to time elect to sell) under the power of sale which is hereby given to Mortgagee, at public outcry, to the
highest bidder for cash, at the front or main door of the courthouse of the county in which the Premises to be sold, or a substantial or material part thereof, is located, after first giving notice by publication once a week for three successive
weeks of the time, place and terms of such sale, together with a description of the Mortgaged Property to be sold, by publication in a newspaper published in the county or counties in which the Premises to be sold is located. If there is Mortgaged
Property to be sold in more than one county, publication shall be made in all counties where the Mortgaged Property to be sold is located, but if no newspaper is published in any such county, the notice shall be published in a newspaper published in
an adjoining county for three successive weeks. The sale shall be held between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on the day designated for the exercise of the power of sale hereunder. Mortgagee may bid at any sale held under this Mortgage and
may purchase the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, if the highest bidder therefor. The purchaser at any such sale shall be under no obligation to see to the proper application of the purchase money. At any sale all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property, real, personal, or mixed, may be offered for sale in parcels or en masse for one total price, and the proceeds of any such sale en masse shall be accounted for in one amount without distinction between the items included therein
and without assigning to them any proportion of such proceeds, Mortgagor hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of marshalling or like proceeding. In case Mortgagee, in the exercise of the power of sale herein given, elects to sell the
Mortgaged Property in parts or parcels, sales thereof may be held from time to time, and the power of sale granted herein shall not be fully exercised until all of the Mortgaged Property not previously sold shall have been sold or all the Secured
Indebtedness shall have been paid in full and this Mortgage shall have been terminated as provided herein. In case of any sale of the Mortgaged Property as authorized by this paragraph, all prerequisites to the sale shall be presumed to have been
performed, and in any conveyance given hereunder all statements of facts, or other recitals therein made, as to the non payment of any of the Secured Indebtedness or as to the advertisement of sale, or the time, place and manner of sale, or as to
any other fact or thing, shall be taken in all courts of law or equity as rebuttably presumptive evidence that the facts so stated or recited are true.  
     
    10.4         Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Mortgage, the maximum aggregate principal amount of indebtedness that is, or under any contingency may be, secured by this Mortgage (including Borrower's obligation to reimburse advances made by Agent), either at
execution or any time thereafter (the "Secured Amount"), is One Hundred Thirty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($137,500,000), plus interest thereon, and any and all  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  13  
   

   
  disbursements made by Mortgagee for the payment of taxes, special assessments or
insurance on the Property, any expenses incurred in upholding the lien of this Mortgage, or any amount, cost or charge to which Mortgagee becomes subrogated, upon payment, with interest on such disbursements, expenses and amounts. For purposes of
this Mortgage, the amount of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage shall at all times equal only the Secured Amount. The Secured Amount shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that Borrower repays with respect to the Obligations and
shall not be reduced by any intervening repayments of the Obligations. So long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, any payments and repayments of the Obligations by Borrower shall not be deemed to be applied against, or to reduce,
the portion of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage.  
     
    SECTION 11.
     LEASEHOLD PROVISIONS 
     
    11.1 Mortgagor represents, warrants and agrees as follows: 
     
  (a) Mortgagor has delivered to Collateral Agent a true, correct and
complete copy of the Subject Lease, including all amendments and modifications, written or oral existing as of the date hereof.  
     
  (b) Mortgagor has not executed or entered into any modifications or
amendments of the Subject Lease, either orally or in writing, other than written amendments that have been disclosed to Agent in writing. Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not enter into any new leases of all
or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any modifications or amendments of the Subject Lease except with Collateral Agent's prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  
     
  (c) No default now exists under the Subject Lease. No event has
occurred that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such a default or would entitle Mortgagor or any other party under the Subject Lease to cancel the same or otherwise avoid its obligations.  
     
  (d) Except for this Mortgage or other assignments in favor of
Collateral Agent, Mortgagor has not executed any assignment or pledge of the Subject Lease or of Mortgagor's right, title and interest in the same.  
     
  (e) This Mortgage conforms and complies with the Subject Lease,
does not constitute a violation or default under the Subject Lease, and is and shall at all times constitute a valid lien (subject only to matters permitted by this Mortgage) on Mortgagor's interests in the Subject Lease.  
     
  (f) Mortgagor shall pay, when due and payable, the rentals,
additional rentals, and other charges required by, and payable under, the Subject Lease in accordance with the Subject Lease.  
     
  (g) Mortgagor shall perform and observe all terms, covenants, and
conditions that Mortgagor must perform and observe as Lessee under the Subject Lease, and do everything necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired Mortgagor's rights under the Subject Lease. Mortgagor shall provide all insurance required by the
Subject Lease. All such insurance shall comply with this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall enforce the Lessor's obligations under the Subject  
     
     
     
     
     
  14  
   

   
  Lease so that Mortgagor may enjoy all its rights as lessee under the Lease. Mortgagor
shall furnish to Collateral Agent all information that Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time concerning Mortgagor's compliance with the Subject Lease.  
     
  (h) Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Collateral Agent a copy of
any notice of default or termination that it receives from the Lessor. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Collateral Agent of any request that either party to the Subject Lease makes for arbitration pursuant to the Subject Lease and the guidelines of
the institution of any such arbitration. Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Collateral Agent a copy of the arbitrators' determination in each such arbitration. Collateral Agent may participate in any such arbitration in such manner as Collateral
Agent shall determine appropriate, including following an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, to the exclusion of Mortgagor if so determined by Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion.  
     
  (i) Mortgagor shall not, without Collateral Agent's consent,
consent or refuse to consent to any action that the Lessor or any third party takes or desires to take pursuant to the terms and provisions of such Lease if such action has a material adverse effect on the Subject Lease or Mortgagor's rights
thereunder.  
     

 (j) Mortgagor's obligations under this
Mortgage are independent of and in addition to Mortgagor's obligations under the Subject Lease. Nothing in this Mortgage shall be construed to require Mortgagor or Collateral Agent to take or omit to take any action that would cause a default under
the Subject Lease.  
    

    11.2 Treatment of Lease in
Bankruptcy. 
    

  (a) If the Lessor rejects or.,
disaffirms, or seeks or purports to reject or disaffirm, the Subject Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then Mortgagor shall not exercise the 365(h) Election except as otherwise provided in this paragraph. To the extent permitted by law,
Mortgagor shall not suffer or permit the termination of any Subject Lease by exercise of the 365(h) Election or otherwise without Mortgagee's consent. Mortgagor acknowledges that because the Subject Lease is a primary element of Mortgagee's security
for the Obligations secured hereunder, it is not anticipated that Mortgagee would consent to termination of the Subject Lease. If Mortgagor makes any 365(h) Election in violation of this Mortgage, then such 365(h) Election shall be void and of no
force or effect.  
    

  (b) Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee
the 365(h) Election with respect to the Subject Lease until the Obligations secured hereunder have been satisfied in full. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing assignment of the 365(h) Election and related rights is one of the rights
that Mortgagee may use at any time to protect and preserve Mortgagee's other rights and interests under this Mortgage. Mortgagor further acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of terminating the Subject Lease would constitute
waste prohibited by this Mortgage. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the 365(h) Election is in the nature of a remedy available to Mortgagor under the Subject Lease, and is not a property interest that Mortgagor can separate from the Subject
Lease as to which it arises. Therefore, Mortgagor agrees and acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of preserving the right to possession under the Subject Lease shall not be deemed to constitute Mortgagee's taking or sale
 
     
     
     
     
     
     
  15  
   

   
  of the Land (or any element thereof) and shall not entitle Mortgagor to any credit
against the Obligations secured hereunder or otherwise impair Mortgagee's remedies.  
     
  (c) Mortgagor acknowledges that if the 365(h) Election is exercised
in favor of Mortgagor's remaining in possession under the Subject Lease, then Mortgagor's resulting occupancy rights, as adjusted by the effect of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall then be part of the Mortgaged Property and shall be subject
to the lien of this Mortgage.  
     
    11.3
Rejection of Lease by Lessor. If the Lessor rejects or disaffirms the Subject Lease or purports or seeks to disaffirm such Subject Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then: 
     
  (a) Mortgagor shall remain in possession of the Land demised under
the Subject Lease and shall perform all acts necessary for Mortgagor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of such Subject Lease (including all renewals), whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Subject Lease require
such acts or otherwise; and  
     
  (b) All the terms
and provisions of this Mortgage and the lien created by this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically to all of Mortgagor's rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, Section 365(h) of the
Bankruptcy Code, including all of Mortgagor's rights to remain in possession of the Land.  
     
    11.4 Assignment of Claims to Mortgagee.  Mortgagor,
immediately upon learning that the Lessor has failed to perform the terms and provisions under the Subject Lease (including by reason of a rejection or disaffirmance or purported rejection or disaffirmance of such Subject Lease pursuant to any
Bankruptcy Law), shall notify Mortgagee of any such failure to perform. Mortgagor unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to Mortgagee any and all Lease Damage Claims. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional
assignment of the Lease Damage Claims, and shall continue in effect until the Obligations secured hereunder have been satisfied in full.  
     
    11.5 Offset by Mortgagor  . If pursuant to Section
365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar Bankruptcy Law, Mortgagor seeks to offset against any rent under the Subject Lease the amount of any Lease Damage Claim, then Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of its intent to do so at least 20
days before effecting such offset. Such notice shall set forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis for such offset. If Mortgagee reasonably objects to all or any part of such offset, then Mortgagor shall not effect any offset of the
amounts to which Mortgagee reasonably objects. If Mortgagee approves such offset, then Mortgagor may effect such offset as set forth in Mortgagor's notice. Neither Mortgagee's failure to object, nor any objection or other communication between
Mortgagee and Mortgagor that relates to such offset, shall constitute Mortgagee's approval of any such offset. Mortgagor shall indemnify Mortgagee against any offset against the rent reserved in any Lease.  
     
    11.6 Mortgagor's Acquisition of Interest in Leased Parcel 
.. If Mortgagor acquires the fee or any other interest in any Land or Improvements originally subject to the Subject Lease, then, such acquired interest shall immediately become subject to the lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely, and with
the same effect, as if Mortgagor now owned it and as if this  
     
     
     
     
     
  16  
   

   
  
     Mortgage specifically described it, without, need for the delivery
and/or recording of a supplement to this Mortgage or any other instrument. In the event of any such acquisition, the fee and leasehold interests in such Land or Improvements, unless Collateral Agent elects otherwise in writing, remain separate and
distinct and shall not merge, notwithstanding any principle of law to the contrary.  
     
    11.7 New Lease Issued to Agent  . If the Subject Lease is
for any reason whatsoever terminated before the expiration of its term and, pursuant to any provision of the Subject Lease, Collateral Agent or its designee shall acquire from Lessor a new lease of the relevant leased premises, then Mortgagor shall
have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the estate created thereby.  
 
   
   
SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS 
     
    12.1 Notices
 . Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Mortgage shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of Mortgagee or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right
or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Mortgage and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Mortgage shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants,
the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Mortgage
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and Mortgagor and their respective successors and assigns. Except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, assign any
rights, duties or obligations hereunder. Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness and performance in full of the Obligations, or upon prepayment of a portion of the Indebtedness equal to the Net Asset Sale Proceeds for the Mortgaged Property in
connection with a permitted Asset Sale, subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagee, at Mortgagor's expense, shall release the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage or reconvey the
Mortgaged Property to Mortgagor or, at the request of Mortgagor, assign this Mortgage without recourse. This Mortgage and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Mortgagee and Mortgagor and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.
There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

    12.6 Successors and Assigns  . This Mortgage shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and Mortgagor and their respective successors and assigns. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, assign any rights, duties or obligations hereunder.  
     
    12.7 No Waiver.  Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon
strict performance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Credit Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same, and Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict performance of all of such terms, provisions
and conditions.  
    

    12.8 Subrogation  . To the
extent proceeds of the Loan have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness against the Mortgaged Property, then Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all of the rights, liens and interests existing against the Mortgaged Property and held
by the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, liens and interests, if any, are not waived, but are continued in full force and effect in favor of Mortgagee.  
     
    12.9 Credit Agreement  . If any conflict or inconsistency
exists between this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall govern.

Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Mortgagee and Mortgagor and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Credit
Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.  
     
    12.12 Counterparts  . This Mortgage is being executed in
several counterparts, all of which are identical, except that to facilitate recordation, if the Mortgaged Property is situated offshore or in more than one county, descriptions of only those portions of the Mortgaged Property located in the county

will not assert against any of the Collateral any statutory or possessory liens, including without limitation, warehouseman's liens, processor's liens, rights of levy and distraint for rent. You will not offset any amounts due from the Company

Company to cure, any such defaults, regardless of any contrary terms in your agreements with the Company.

  Attention: [_____________]

  [___________], a [_________] (the "Company")
expects to deliver certain inventory to you to be stored at your address set forth above (the "Premises") until purchased by you in the ordinary course of your business in accordance with the Consignment Agreement (such inventory
heretofore or hereafter delivered to 'you being referred to as the "Bailed Inventory").  
     
  The Company has entered or will enter into that certain Credit and
Guaranty Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") between the Company, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which the Company, among other things, has granted or will
grant to the collateral agent for the secured parties (together with its respective successors and assigns, in such capacity, the "Collateral Agent") security interests and liens in, among other things, the Bailed Inventory and
certain other property of the Company (collectively, the "Collateral"), located and to be located upon the Premises.  
     
  To induce the Collateral Agent and lenders to enter into the Credit
Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, you hereby represent, warrant, covenant and agree as follows:  
     
  1.      You are holding the Collateral for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent. You disclaim any and all ownership rights and interests in the Collateral, except for Bailed Inventory which has been purchased and accepted by you in accordance with the terms of the Consignment Agreement
between you and the Company as in effect on the date hereof (the "Consignment Agreement"). Until any such purchase and acceptance, legal and beneficial title thereto remains and will continue to remain in the Company and you have no rights
in the Collateral and no power to transfer rights in the collateral to a secured party.  
     
  2.      The Collateral Agent's security
interests in the Collateral are senior to all of your liens, claims and interests, if any, in the Collateral.  
     
  3.      You will not assert against any of the
Collateral any statutory or possessory liens, including without limitation, warehouseman's liens. You will not offset any amounts due from the Company against the Collateral.  
     
  4.      You maintain and will continue to
maintain a system whereby, until any Bailed Inventory is purchased by you in accordance with the Consignment Agreement, the Collateral is clearly identified as being owned by the Company and is kept separate and distinct from your property and any
other property in your possession.  
     
  5.
     You will allow the Collateral Agent to inspect and remove the Collateral upon its request during normal business hours on reasonable prior notice at any time and from time to time.  
     
     
  ______________________  
    1   Note: Please
revise as necessary to reflect the scenario where multiple Credit Parties keep inventory with the same bailee.   
   
   
  EXHIBIT J-8  
   

   
  6.      You will inform all of your
creditors who seek to obtain a security interest in your property located at the Premises that the Collateral is owned by the Company, subject to the Collateral Agent's prior security interest therein and lien thereon.  
     
  7.      If the Company defaults on its
obligations to the Collateral Agent and lenders, and, as a result, the Collateral Agent undertakes to enforce its security interest in the Collateral, you will (i) permit the Collateral Agent to assemble, remove, and enforce their liens against all
of the Collateral located on the Premises, (ii) not hinder the Collateral Agent's actions in enforcing its liens on the Collateral, and (iii) hold the Collateral at the Premises for the Collateral Agent's account for up to sixty (60) days after
notice of default from the Collateral Agent.  
     
  8.      You will not issue any warehouse receipts or other documents of title which evidence any Collateral now or hereafter delivered by the Company to you.  
     
  9.      At the Collateral Agent's
reasonable request, you will execute and deliver, or cause to be delivered, such other documents, and take such further actions, as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent to further effectuate the purposes hereof. 

     
  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions, you are authorized
to (i) continue to purchase the Bailed Inventory in the ordinary course of your business in accordance with the terms of the Consignment Agreement and (ii) release any of the Collateral to the Company or its authorized agent upon the Company's
request, subject, however, to the following conditions: upon the written direction of the Collateral Agent, (x) you shall report to the Collateral Agent your purchase of any of the Bailed Inventory in accordance with the terms of the Consignment
Agreement, and you shall send to the Collateral Agent all notices and other communications that you are required to send to the Company under the terms of the Consignment Agreement, and (y) you shall refuse to release the Collateral to the Company
or its agents, and you shall only release such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or the party designated by the Collateral Agent in such written direction.  
     
  The Company agrees that you shall have no liability to the Company
if you comply with the Collateral Agent's written direction as described above. The Company further agrees that it will reimburse you for all reasonable costs or expenses incurred as a direct result of your compliance with the terms and provisions
of this letter.  
    

  Any notices required or desired to be
given hereunder shall be directed to the party to be notified at the fax number or address stated herein. All notices and communications shall be faxed to the relevant fax number or mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt
requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to the relevant address. If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives
it.  
     
  You further acknowledge and agree that the
provisions of this letter shall run to the benefit of the Collateral Agent (which is an express third party beneficiary hereof), and shall be entitled to receive the benefits and exercise its rights and remedies hereunder.  
     
  The agreements contained herein shall continue in force until the
Collateral Agent notifies you in writing that all of the Obligations to the Collateral Agent and the lenders have been paid and satisfied in full and the Credit Agreement has been terminated.  
     
  You will notify all successor owners, transferees, purchasers and
mortgagees of the existence of this waiver. The agreements contained herein may not be modified or terminated orally and shall be binding upon your successors and assigns and personal representatives.

  April [_____], 2008  
     
  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned, to the extent a
borrower from time to time from any other entity listed on the signature page hereto (each, in such capacity, a "Payor"), hereby promises to pay on demand to such other entity listed below (each, in such capacity, a
"Payee"), in lawful money of the United States of America (or otherwise as agreed between Payor and Payee) in immediately available funds, at such location in the United States of America as a Payee shall from time to time
designate, the unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances (including trade payables) made by such Payee to such Payor, other than any such loans and advances that are evidenced by other promissory notes. Each Payor promises also to pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of all such loans and advances in like money at said location from the date of such loans and advances until paid at such rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee.
 
     
  This note ("Note") is an
intercompany note executed in connection with (i) the Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of April [___], 2008 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"; each
capitalized term used but not defined herein, unless otherwise noted, having the meaning given it in the Credit Agreement) among  Abitibi-Consolidated COMPANY OF CANADA, a company amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Quebec, Canada,
as Borrower ("Borrower"),  ABITIBI-CONSOLIDATED INC., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of Canada ("Holdings"), and CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES OF HOLDINGS, as Guarantors (the
"Guarantors"), the Lenders party thereto from time to time, GOLDMAN SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P. ("GSCP"), as Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Collateral Agent and
Administrative Agent (together with its permitted successors in such capacity, "Administrative Agent"), and GOLDMAN SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P., as Collateral Agent (together with its permitted successors in such capacity,
"Collateral Agent"). This Note is subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and shall be pledged by each Payee pursuant to the US Security Agreements to the extent required pursuant to the terms thereof. Each Payee hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement may exercise all rights provided in the Credit Agreement and each US Security Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect to this
Note.  
     
  Anything in this Note to the contrary
notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is Borrower or a Guarantor to any Payee other than Borrower shall be unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth, to all Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of such Payor under the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, where applicable, under such Payor's guarantee of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) (such Obligations and other indebtedness and obligations in connection with any renewal, refunding, restructuring or refinancing thereof, including interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any proceedings referred to in clause
(i) below, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred to as "Senior Indebtedness"):  
     
  (i) in the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to any Payor or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up
of such Payor, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness before any Payee is entitled to receive (whether
directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment on account of this Note  
   
  EXHIBIT K-l  
   

   
     
  and (y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash in respect of
all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness, any payment or distribution to which such Payee would otherwise be entitled (other than debt securities of such Payor that are subordinated, to at least the same extent as this Note, to the payment of
all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as "Restructured Debt Securities")) shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;  
     
  (ii)   if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with
respect to any Senior Indebtedness, then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by the Payor under this Note; and  
     
  (iii) if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in
cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities), in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of clause (i) or (ii) before all Senior Indebtedness shall
have been paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives), ratably according to the respective
aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.  
     
  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no present or future holder
of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to act on the part of any Payor or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee or agent for such
holder. Each Payee and each Payor hereby agrees that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the agent under the Credit Agreement may, on behalf of itself and any holder of Senior Indebtedness and
subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other documents executed in connection therewith, proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein.  
     
  Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above
is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with
its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.  
     
  Each Payee is hereby authorized to record all loans and advances
made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained
therein.  
     
  Each Payor hereby waives presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. All payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.  
     
  Additional Payors and Payees may become parties to this Note by
executing a counterpart signature page to this Note. Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page, notice of which is waived by all parties hereto, such Payor or Payee, as the case may be, shall become a party hereto as fully as if it were an
original signatory hereto. Each Payor agrees that its obligations under or evidenced by this Note shall not be diminished or impaired by the addition of an additional Payor.  
     
  THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF.
