 -15- 

 (1)        if since the beginning of such period
the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Indebtedness that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Incurrence of
Indebtedness, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period (except
that in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility outstanding on the date of such calculation shall be computed based on (A) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal

 (2)        if since the
beginning of such period the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged any Indebtedness that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination (each, a
“Discharge”) or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio involves a Discharge of Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility unless
such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid), Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of

 (3)        if since the beginning of such period the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have disposed of any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit
of a business (any such disposition, a “Sale”), the Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the assets that are the subject of such Sale for
such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to (A) the Consolidated Interest
Expense attributable to any Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged with respect to the Parent Borrower and its continuing Restricted

 (4)        if since the beginning of such period the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
(by merger, consolidation or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Person that thereby becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, or otherwise acquired any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit of a business,
including any such Investment or acquisition occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder (any such Investment or acquisition, a “Purchase”), Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest
Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any related Indebtedness) as if such Purchase occurred on the first day of such period, and 
  

 -16- 

 (5)        if since the beginning of such period
any Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or consolidated with or into the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have Discharged any Indebtedness or made any Sale or
Purchase that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (2), (3) or (4) above if made by the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest
Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Discharge, Sale or Purchase occurred on the first day of such period. 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest
Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred or repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof (including in respect of anticipated net
cost savings or synergies relating to any such Sale, Purchase or other transaction) shall be as determined in good faith by the Chief Financial Officer or another Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower; provided that such net cost savings
or synergies are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on
the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Parent Borrower or a Restricted
Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be
calculated by applying such optional rate as the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect was Incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such
Indebtedness shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate determined in good faith by a responsible
financial or accounting officer of the Parent Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.

Restricted Subsidiaries), 
 (v)        the amount of any minority interest expense,

had been realized on the first day of such period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that (x) such cost savings are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable,
(y) such net cost savings are reasonably expected to be realized within 18 months of the date of the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA as evidenced in a certificate of a Responsible Officer dated the date of such calculation and (z) the
aggregate amount of cost savings added pursuant to this clause (viii) shall not exceed $250.0 million for any four consecutive quarter period (which adjustments may be incremental to (but not duplicative of) pro forma adjustments made pursuant
to the proviso to the definition of “Consolidated Coverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio” or “Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio”), 
 (viii)     the amount of loss on any Financing Disposition, and 
 (ix)       any costs or expenses pursuant to any management or employee stock option or other
equity-related plan, program or arrangement, or other benefit plan, program or arrangement, or any stock subscription or shareholder agreement, to the extent funded with cash proceeds contributed to the capital of the Parent Borrower or an issuance
of Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock) and excluded from the calculation set forth in subsection 8.5(a)(3).

Inventory or Accounts)) of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries during such period, to (b) the sum, without duplication, of (i) Debt Service Charges payable in cash by the Parent Borrower and its consolidated
Restricted Subsidiaries during such period plus (ii) federal, state and foreign income taxes paid in cash by the Parent Borrower and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries (net of refunds received) for the period of four full fiscal

quarter of the Parent Borrower ended on or after June 30, 2007 for which financial statements shall have been required to be delivered under subsection 7.1(a) or (b). Excluded Junior Capital (and Consolidated Interest Expense in respect
thereof) shall be excluded from the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

 For purposes of calculating the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for any date of determination for which the period of the most
recent four consecutive fiscal quarters did not begin on a date which is on or after the Closing Date, Consolidated Interest Expense for such period of four fiscal quarters shall be deemed to be (i) in the case of the period ended at the end of
the first fiscal quarter (such fiscal quarter, “Q307”) ending after the Closing Date, Consolidated Interest Expense accrued from and including the Closing Date through and including the last day of Q307, divided by the actual number

financial statements of the Parent Borrower for such period; and each Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary upon giving effect to the Transactions shall be deemed to be a Restricted Subsidiary, and the Transactions shall not constitute a sale or
disposition under clause (iii) above, for purposes of such determination.

 “Consolidated
Secured Leverage Ratio”: at the date of determination thereof, the ratio of (x) Consolidated Secured Indebtedness as at such date (after giving effect to any Incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness on such date) to (y) the
aggregate amount of Consolidated EBITDA for the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such determination for which consolidated financial statements of the Parent Borrower are available (determined
for each fiscal quarter (or portion thereof) of the four fiscal quarters ending prior to the Closing Date on a pro forma basis to give effect to the Acquisition and the Merger as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of such
four-quarter period), provided that: 
 (1)        if since the beginning of
such period the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made a Sale, the Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the assets that are the subject
of such Sale for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for such period; 
 (2)        if since the beginning of such period the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) shall have made a Purchase (including
any Purchase occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder), Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Purchase occurred on the first day of such
period; and 
 (3)        if since the beginning of such period any Person became a
Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or consolidated with or into the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have made any Sale or Purchase that would have required an adjustment
pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above if made by the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period, Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Sale

 SECTION 2        AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS. 
 2.1        Commitments. 
   (a)      Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender with a U.S. Facility Commitment severally agrees to make to the U.S. Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the U.S. Borrowers), at any time and from time to time during the ABL Commitment
Period, a Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Credit Loans (each a “U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan” and, collectively, the “U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to such
U.S. Facility Lender’s U.S. Facility Commitment provided that no U.S. Facility Lender shall have any obligations to make a U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan to the extent that such U.S. Facility Revolving Loan would result in (A) the
U.S. Facility Lender Exposure of such U.S. Facility Lender exceeding its U.S. Facility Commitment or (B) the Aggregate U.S. Borrower Extensions exceeding the U.S. Borrowing Base. Such U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans shall be made in
Dollars and may from time to time be (i) Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) ABR Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrowers and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsections 2.2 and 4.2;
provided that no Loan shall be made as a Eurocurrency Loan after the day that is one month prior to the Maturity Date. 
   (b)      Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Canadian Facility Lender severally agrees to make to (i) each of the Canadian Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the
Canadian Borrowers with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers) and (ii) the U.S. Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the U.S. Borrowers with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans made to the U.S.
Borrowers), at any time and from time to time during the ABL Commitment Period, a Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Credit Loans (each a “Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loan” and, collectively, the “Canadian Facility
Revolving Credit Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Canadian Facility Lender’s Canadian Facility Commitment provided that no Canadian Facility Lender shall have any obligation to make a Canadian Facility Revolving
Credit Loan to the extent that such Canadian Facility Revolving Loan would result in (A) the Canadian Facility Lender Exposure of such Canadian Facility Lender exceeding its Canadian Facility Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Canadian Borrower
Extensions exceeding the Canadian Borrowing Base, or (C) the Aggregate U.S. Borrower Extensions exceeding the U.S. Borrowing Base. Such Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans shall be in the case of Loans made to the Canadian 

  

 -64- 

 
Borrowers, denominated in Dollars or in Canadian Dollars and in the case of Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers, denominated in Dollars and may from time to
time be (x) in the case of the Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, (i) ABR Loans, (ii) Bankers’ Acceptances or (iii) BA Equivalent Loans and (y) in the case of the Canadian Facility
Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, (i) ABR Loans, (ii) Eurocurrency Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Canadian Borrowers and notified to the Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent in accordance
with subsections 2.2 and 4.2; provided that no Loan shall be made as a Eurocurrency Loan after the day that is one month prior to the Maturity Date. 
   (c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsections 2.1(a) or (b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, as
applicable, shall have the right to establish Availability Reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent, as applicable, in their Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or
appropriate, against the U.S. Borrowing Base and/or the Canadian Borrowing Base, as applicable, including reserves with respect to (i) sums that the respective Borrowers are or will be required to pay (such as taxes (including payroll and sales
taxes), assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have not yet paid and (ii) amounts owing by the respective Borrowers or, without duplication, their respective
Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent is capable of ranking senior in priority to or
pari passu with one or more of the Liens granted in the Security Documents (such as Canadian Priority Payables, Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts
for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have provided the Borrower Representative at least ten Business
Days’ prior written notice of any such establishment; provided, further, that such Agent may only establish an Availability Reserve after the date hereof based on an event, condition or other circumstance arising after the Closing
Date or based on facts not known to such Agent as of the Closing Date. The amount of any Availability Reserve established by such Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the
Availability Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, such Agent shall be available to discuss the proposed Availability Reserve, and the applicable Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the
basis for such Availability Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to applicable Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of
the applicable Agent to establish such Availability Reserve, unless such Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such new Availability Reserve no longer exists or has
otherwise been adequately addressed by the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Availability Reserves shall not duplicate eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Accounts,” or
“Eligible Inventory,” as the case may be, and vice versa, or reserves or criteria deducted in computing the net book value of Eligible Inventory or the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Inventory and vice versa. In addition to the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent shall have the right, subject to subsection 7.6, to have the Loan Parties’ Inventory reappraised by a qualified appraisal company selected by the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Agent from time to time after the Closing Date for the purpose of redetermining the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of the Eligible Inventory and, as a result, redetermining the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base. 

  (d)      In the event the U.S. Borrowers are or the Canadian Borrowers are, as applicable, unable to comply
with (i) the borrowing base limitations set forth in subsections 2.1(a), or (ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit set forth in Section 6, (x) the U.S. Facility Lenders authorize
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the U.S. 

  

 -65- 

 
Facility Lenders, to make U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans to the U.S. Borrowers and (y) the Canadian Facility Lenders authorize the Canadian Agent,
for the account of the Canadian Facility Lenders, to make Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans to the Canadian Borrowers, which, in each case, may only be made as ABR Loans (each, an “Agent Advance”) for a period commencing on
the date the Administrative Agent first receives a notice of Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance until the earliest of (i) the 30th Business Day after such date, (ii) the date the respective Borrowers or Borrower is again able to comply
with the limitations in the Borrowing Base and the conditions precedent to the making of Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, or obtains an amendment or waiver with respect thereto and (iii) the date the Required Lenders instruct the
Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance Period”). Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Agent shall make any Agent Advance (A) in the case of
Agent Advances made to the Canadian Borrowers, (I) to the extent that at such time the amount of such Agent Advance, when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Canadian Borrowers at such time, would
exceed 5.0% of the Canadian Borrowing Base as then in effect (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (II) to the extent that at such time the amount of such Agent Advance when added to the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender
Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total Canadian Facility Commitment at such time, or (B) in the case of Agent Advances made to the U.S. Borrowers, (I) when added to
the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the U.S. Borrowers at such time, would exceed 5.0% of the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (II) to the extent that at
such time the amount of such Agent Advance when added to the Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total U.S. Facility Commitment at such time or (III)
to the extent that at such time the amount of such Agent Advance when added to the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to such Agent Advance) would exceed the sum of (1) the Canadian Borrowing Base
at such time plus (2) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (in each case, based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered). It is understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set forth above, Agent Advances may be made by the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent in their respective discretion to the extent the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent deems such Agent Advances necessary or desirable (x) to preserve and protect the applicable Collateral, or
any portion thereof, (y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (z) to pay any other amount chargeable to or
required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, including payments of reimbursable expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, and that the Borrowers shall have no right to require that any Agent
Advances be made. At any time that the conditions precedent set forth in subsection 6.2 have been satisfied or waived, the Administrative Agent may request the applicable Lenders to make a Loan to repay an Agent Advance. At any other time, the
Administrative Agent may require the applicable Lenders to fund their risk participations described in subsection 2.1(e) below. 
   (e)      Upon the making of an Agent Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each U.S. Facility Lender shall be deemed,
without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Agent Advance in proportion to its U.S.
Facility Commitment Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any U.S. Facility Lender is required to fund its participation in any Agent Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such U.S.
Facility Lender, its U.S. Facility Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Agent Advance. 
  

 -66- 

   (f)       Upon the making of an Agent Advance by the
Canadian Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each Canadian Facility Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the
Canadian Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Agent Advance in proportion to its Canadian Facility Commitment Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Canadian Facility Lender is
required to fund its participation in any Agent Advance purchased hereunder, the Canadian Agent shall promptly distribute to such Canadian Facility Lender, its Canadian Facility Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all
proceeds of Collateral received by the Canadian Agent in respect of such Agent Advance. 
   (g)      Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to subsection
11.6(b), in order to evidence such Lender’s Loans, such Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount
(each, as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Revolving Note” ), payable to such Lender and representing the obligation of such Borrower to pay the amount of the Commitment of such Lender or,
if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender to such Borrower. Each Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the Maturity Date and (iii) provide for the
payment of interest in accordance with subsection 4.1. 
   (h)      Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Canadian Borrowers (other than Disregarded Canadian Borrowers) shall not be jointly or jointly and severally liable with the U.S. Borrowers for any liabilities or obligations of
the U.S. Borrowers hereunder. 
 2.2        Procedure for Revolving Credit
Borrowing.  Each of the Borrowers may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the U.S. Borrower Representative (or, in the case of the initial Extension of Credit hereunder,
its corporate predecessor, HDS Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc.) or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, shall give the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, irrevocable (in the case of any notice except notice
with respect to the initial Extension of Credit hereunder, which shall be irrevocable after the funding) notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, prior to (a) 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Eurocurrency Loans, or Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans or (b) 10:00
A.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, for ABR Loans) specifying (i) the identity of a Borrower, (ii) the amount to be borrowed, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iv) whether the borrowing is to be of
Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, (v) in the case of the Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans, if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of ABR Loans, whether such
Loans shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars or Dollars and (vi) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan, the
respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, except any ABR Loan to be used solely to pay a like amount of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or
Swing Line Loans, in multiples of $1,000,000.0 (or, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, Cdn$1,000,000.0) (or, if the Commitments then available (as calculated in accordance with subsections 2.1(a) and (b)) are less than
$1,000,000.0, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans an amount equal to $5,000,000.0 (or, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, Cdn$5,000,000.0) or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000.0 (or, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, Cdn$1,000,000.0) in excess 

  

 -67- 

 
thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Lender thereof. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in subsection 6.2, each applicable Revolving Lender will
make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of the Borrower identified in such notice at the office of the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, specified in subsection 11.2 prior to 12:30 P.M. (or 10:00 A.M., in the case of the initial borrowing hereunder), New York City time, or at such other office of the Administrative Agent or
the Canadian Agent, as applicable, or at such other time as to which the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall notify such Borrower Representative reasonably in advance of the Borrowing Date with respect thereto, on the
Borrowing Date requested by such Borrower in Dollars or Canadian Dollars and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable. In relation to Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans, the
Canadian Agent shall credit to the applicable Canadian Borrower’s account on the applicable Borrowing Date the BA Proceeds less the applicable BA Fee with respect to each Bankers’ Acceptance purchased and each BA Equivalent Loan advanced
by a Lender on that Borrowing Date. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Canadian Borrower identified in such notice by the Canadian Agent, crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the
amounts made available to the Canadian Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Canadian Agent. 
 2.3        Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  The Borrower Representative (on behalf of any Borrower) shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice
to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as the case may be (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), to terminate the U.S. Facility or Canadian Facility Commitments, respectively, or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the
U.S. Facility or Canadian Facility Commitments, respectively; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on
the effective date thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding (including in the case of Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding in any Canadian Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent of the
aggregate principal amount thereof), when added to the sum of the then outstanding L/C Obligations, would exceed the Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in
excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the applicable Commitments then in effect. All outstanding Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 2.4        Swing Line Commitments. 
   (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make swing line loans (individually, a “Swing Line Loan”; collectively, the “Swing Line
Loans”) to any U.S. Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $100.0 million; provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line
Loans if, after doing so, the Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure or Aggregate U.S. Borrowing Extensions would exceed the applicable limitations set forth in subsection 2.1. Amounts borrowed by any U.S. Borrower under this subsection 2.4
may be repaid and, through but excluding the Maturity Date, reborrowed. All Swing Line Loans made to any U.S. Borrower shall be made in Dollars as ABR Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurocurrency Loans. The U.S. Borrower
Representative (on behalf of any U.S. Borrower) shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time) on the requested Borrowing Date specifying
(1) the identity of the U.S. Borrower and (2) the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000.00 or whole multiples of 

  

 -68- 

 
$50,000.00 in excess thereof. The proceeds of the Swing Line Loan will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the U.S. Borrower identified in such
notice at an office of the Swing Line Lender by wire transfer to the account of such U.S. Borrower specified in such notice. 
   (b)      Each of the U.S. Borrowers agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the Swing Line Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment
pursuant to subsection 11.6(b), in order to evidence the Swing Line Loans such Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2, with appropriate insertions (as the
same may be amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swing Line Note”), payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender and representing the obligation of such Borrower to pay the amount of the
Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to such Borrower, with interest thereon as prescribed in subsection 4.1. The Swing Line Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to
mature on the Maturity Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with subsection 4.1. 
   (c)      The Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, may, and, at any time as there shall be a Swing Line Loan outstanding for more than seven Business Days, the Swing
Line Lender shall, on behalf of the Borrower to which the Swing Line Loan has been made (which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), request (provided that such request shall be deemed to have
been automatically made upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 9(f)) each U.S. Facility Lender, including the Swing Line Lender, to make a U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan as an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such U.S.
Facility Lender’s U.S. Facility Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans (a “Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing”) in an amount equal to such U.S. Facility Lender’s U.S. Facility Commitment
Percentage of the principal amount of all of the Swing Line Loans (collectively, the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that the provisions of this subsection shall not affect
the obligations of any U.S. Borrower to prepay Swing Line Loans in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4.4(b). Unless the U.S. Facility Commitments shall have expired or terminated (in which event the procedures of paragraph (d) of
this subsection 2.4 shall apply), each U.S. Facility Lender hereby agrees to make the proceeds of its U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan (including any Eurocurrency Loan) available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line
Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory
Revolving Loan Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Revolving Credit Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of
Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing and (v) the amount of the U.S. Facility Commitment of such, or any other, U.S. Facility Lender at such time. The proceeds of such U.S. Facility Revolving Credit
Loans (including, any Eurocurrency Loan) shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans. 
   (d)      If the U.S. Facility Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swing Line Loans are outstanding, each U.S. Facility Lender shall, at the option of the Swing Line Lender,
exercised reasonably, either (i) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the U.S. Facility Commitments, make a U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan as an ABR Loan (which U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed a “U.S.
Facility Revolving Credit Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swing Line Loans, in either case in an amount equal to such U.S. Facility
Lender’s U.S. Facility Commitment Percentage determined on the date of, and immediately prior to, expiration or termination of the U.S. Facility Commitments of the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loans; 

  

 -69- 

 
provided that, in the event that any Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including,
as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership, administration or liquidation or similar law with respect to any Borrower), then each U.S. Facility Lender hereby agrees
that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from such Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swing Line
Lender such participations in such outstanding Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such U.S. Facility Lenders to share in such Swing Line Loans ratably based upon their respective U.S. Facility Commitment Percentages; provided,
further, that (x) all interest payable on the Swing Line Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Line Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the
purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing U.S. Facility Lender shall be required to pay
the Swing Line Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for
such participation, at the rate otherwise applicable to U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans made as ABR Loans. Each U.S. Facility Lender will make the proceeds of any U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the
date on which the U.S. Facility Commitments expire or terminate and in the currency in which such Swing Line Loans were made. The proceeds of such U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Line Loans
outstanding on the date of termination or expiration of the U.S. Facility Commitments. In the event that the U.S. Facility Lenders purchase undivided participating interests pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (d), each U.S. Facility
Lender shall immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds and in the currency in which such Swing Line Loans were made, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender will deliver to
such U.S. Facility Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. 
   (e)      Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any U.S. Facility Lender such U.S. Facility Lender’s participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line
Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from any Borrower in respect of such Swing Line Loan or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Swing Line Lender), or any payment of interest on account
thereof, the Swing Line Lender will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such U.S. Facility Lender its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise, the
Swing Line Lender will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Facility Lender’s participating interest was
outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed
by the Swing Line Lender to it. 
   (f)      Each U.S. Facility Lender’s obligation to make the
U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans and to purchase participating interests with respect to Swing Line Loans in accordance with subsections 2.4(c) and 2.4(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such U.S. Facility Lender or any of the Borrowers may have against the Swing Line Lender, any of the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in condition (financial or otherwise) of any of the Borrowers; 

  

 -70- 

 
(iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other U.S. Facility Lender; (v) any
inability of any of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan is to be made or participating interest is to be purchased or
(vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 2.5        Record of Loans. 
   (a)      Each U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (in the currency in which such Loan is denominated) for the account of: (i) each U.S. Facility
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9);
(ii) the Administrative Agent, the then unpaid and principal amount of each Agent Advance made to such Borrower on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Agent Advances become due and payable pursuant to Section 9) and
(iii) the Swing Line Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to such Borrower, on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Swing Line Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9). Each U.S.
Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to such Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in
subsection 4.1. 
   (b)      Each Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
Canadian Agent (in the currency in which such Loan is denominated) for the account of each Canadian Facility Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower, on the
Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans became due and payable pursuant to Section 9). Each Canadian Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest (which payments shall be in the same currency
in which the respective Loan referred to above is denominated) on the unpaid principal amount of such Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in
subsection 4.1. 
   (c)      Each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to
such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
   (d)      The Administrative Agent shall
maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof, and each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto and
whether such Loans are U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans, Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 
   (e)      The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection
2.5(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

 SECTION 3        LETTERS OF CREDIT. 
 3.1        L/C Commitment. 
   (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in subsection 3.4(a), agrees to issue
letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 3, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrowers on any Business Day during the Commitment Period but in no
event later than the third Business Day prior to the Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that such Issuing Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to
such issuance, (i) the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender Exposure, Aggregate Canadian Borrowing Extensions, Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure or Aggregate U.S. Borrowing Extensions would exceed the applicable limitations set forth in
subsection 2.1 (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in Canadian Dollars on the date on which the U.S. Borrower
Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, has requested that the applicable Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit for purposes of determining compliance with this clause (i)) or (ii) the L/C Obligations in
respect of Letters of Credit would exceed $400.0 million. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars (in the case of the Canadian Facility Letters of Credit only), requested by the U.S. Borrower Representative
or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case shall be, and shall be either (A) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, which finance the
working capital and business needs of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (a “Standby Letter of Credit”) or (B) a commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods
or services by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (a “Commercial Letter of Credit”), and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender, mature not more than twelve months
after the date of issuance (automatically renewable annually thereafter or for such longer period of time as may be agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender) and, in any event no later than the third Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (except to
the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender). Each Letter of Credit issued by the U.S. Facility Issuing Lender shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the U.S.
Facility Commitments and each Letter of Credit issued by the Canadian Facility Issuing Lender shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the Canadian Facility Commitments, and shall be participated in (as more fully described in the following
subsection 3.4) by the U.S. Facility Lenders or the Canadian Facility Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with their respective U.S. Facility Commitment Percentages or Canadian Facility Commitment Percentages, as applicable. All Letters of Credit
issued under the U.S. Facility shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued for the account of the applicable U.S. Borrower. All Letters of Credit issued under the Canadian Facility shall be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars and
shall be issued for the account of the applicable Canadian Borrower. For greater certainty, no Letters of Credit shall be issued under the Canadian Facility on account of a U.S. Borrower. 
   (b)      Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative on behalf of
the applicable Borrower at the time of issuance, each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. All Letters of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis
only. 
  

 -72- 

   (c)      No Issuing Lender shall at any time issue any Letter
of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. 
 3.2        Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. 
   (a)      The U.S. Borrower Representative (for the account of a U.S. Borrower) or the Canadian Borrower
Representative (on behalf of the applicable Canadian Borrower) may from time to time request during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the 5th day prior to the Maturity Date that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering
to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, at their respective addresses for notices specified herein, a Letter of Credit Request therefor (completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing
Lender), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Each Letter of Credit Request shall specify the applicable Borrower and that the requested Letter of Credit is to be
denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars in the case of the Canadian Borrowers. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the applicable Issuing Lender shall (i) confirm with the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable
(by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower Representative and, if not so received, such Issuing Lender shall provide the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, with a copy thereof and (ii) process such Letter of Credit Request and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance
with its customary procedures and, unless notified by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, any Lender or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable
Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in subsection 6.2 shall not then be satisfied, shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any
Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Request therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of
Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be. The applicable Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of
such Letter of Credit to the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be promptly following the issuance thereof. Promptly after the issuance or amendment of any Standby Letter of Credit, the applicable
Issuing Lender shall notify the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice
shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable shall promptly notify the U.S. Facility Lenders or the Canadian Facility Lenders, as the case
may be, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall provide to such Lender copies of such issuance or amendment. With regard to Commercial Letters of
Credit, each Issuing Lender shall on the first Business Day of each week provide the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, by facsimile, with a report detailing the aggregate daily outstanding Commercial Letters of Credit during
the previous week. 
   (b)      The making of each request for a Letter of Credit by the U.S.
Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, that such Letter
of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, subsection 3.1. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the
applicable 

  

 -73- 

 
conditions specified in Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate subsection 3.1, then such Issuing
Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. 
 3.3        Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. 
   (a)      The applicable Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of
credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, computed for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at a
rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurocurrency Loans that are Loans calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed, of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit minus
the L/C Facing Fee, payable on the last Business Day of each quarter in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein.
Such commission shall be payable to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable for the account of the Lenders to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective U.S. Facility Commitment Percentages or Canadian
Facility Commitment Percentages. The applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender a fee equal to  1/8 of 1.0% per annum (but in no event less than $500.0 per annum for each Letter of Credit of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit) (the “L/C Facing Fee”), payable
quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Maturity Date or such other date as the Commitments shall terminate. Such commissions and fees shall be nonrefundable. Such fees and commissions shall
be payable in Dollars (or Canadian Dollars, in the case of Canadian Borrowers), notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit may be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars. 
   (b)      In addition to the foregoing commissions and fees, each Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the
Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. 

  (c)      The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof,
distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender and the applicable L/C Participants all commissions and fees received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this subsection 3.3. 
 3.4        L/C Participations. 
   (a)      Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each U.S. Facility L/C
Participant or Canadian Facility L/C Participant, as applicable, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the
applicable Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s U.S. Facility Commitment
Percentage or Canadian Facility Commitment Percentage, as applicable (determined on the date of issuance of the relevant Letter of Credit) in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued or continued
hereunder, the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder and the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Letter of Credit fees and commissions shall be payable directly to the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the 

  

 -74- 

 
account of such Issuing Lender and L/C Participants, as provided in subsection 3.3, and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of
any facing fees with respect to any such Letters of Credit) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the applicable Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any
Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the applicable Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit in accordance with subsection 3.5(a), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Agent, as applicable, for the account of the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Administrative Agent’s or the Canadian Agent’s, as applicable, address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s U.S. Facility
Commitment Percentage or Canadian Facility Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall relieve such Issuing Lender of any
liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that any L/C Participant may have as a result of such gross negligence or willful misconduct. All calculations
of the L/C Participants’ U.S. Facility Commitment Percentages and Canadian Facility Commitment Percentages shall be made from time to time by the Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent, as applicable, which calculations shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. 
   (b)      If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand by such Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under
any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such demand is made, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative
Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of such amount, times the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, in the case of a Canadian Facility Lender,
the interbank rate customarily charged by the Canadian Agent) during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as
applicable, for the account of such Issuing Lender, times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C
Participant pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such
payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon (with interest based on the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars) calculated from
such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Credit Loans maintained as ABR Loans accruing interest at the ABR hereunder. A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under
this subsection (which shall include calculations of any such amounts in reasonable detail) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
   (c)      Whenever, at any time after the applicable Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable,
from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, any payment related to such Letter of Credit
(whether directly from the applicable Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, or by such Issuing Lender), or any
payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata
share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the 

  

 -75- 

 
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however,
that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing
Lender through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, to it. 
 3.5        Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. 
   (a)      Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter
of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the applicable Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, thereof. Each U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each U.S. Facility Issuing Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) upon receipt by the U.S. Borrower Representative of notice from such U.S. Facility Issuing Lender of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued on its behalf and paid by such Issuing
Lender, for the amount of such draft so paid and any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by each U.S. Facility Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each Canadian Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each
Canadian Facility Issuing Lender (through the Canadian Agent) upon receipt by the Canadian Borrower Representative of notice from such Canadian Facility Issuing Lender of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued on
its behalf and paid by such Canadian Facility Issuing Lender, for the amount of such draft so paid and any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by each Canadian Facility Issuing Lender in connection with such payment.
Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein and in immediately available funds, on the date which is two
Business Days after the applicable Borrower Representative receives such notice. 
   (b)      Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the applicable Borrower (or by the Borrower Representative on behalf of the applicable Borrower) under this subsection
3.5(i) from the date the draft presented under the affected Letter of Credit is paid to the date on which the applicable Borrower is required to pay such amounts pursuant to paragraph (a) above at the rate which would then be payable on any
outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans which were then overdue. 
 3.6        Obligations Absolute. 
   (a)      The applicable Loan Parties’ obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any of them may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any L/C Participant or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit;
provided that this paragraph shall not relieve the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant, or otherwise affect any defense
or other right that the Loan Parties may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
   (b)      Each Borrower agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 3.5(a) shall not be
affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between any Borrower and any beneficiary of
any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any 

  

 -76- 

 
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee; provided that this paragraph shall not relieve the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant
of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Loan Parties may have as a result of any such gross negligence or
willful misconduct. 
   (c)      Neither the Issuing Lender nor any L/C Participant shall be liable
for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except with respect to errors or omissions caused by such Person’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
   (d)      Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or
omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC,
shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to any such Borrower. 
 3.7        Letter of Credit Payments.  If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the U.S. Borrower
Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the applicable Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit in connection with any draft presented
for payment under such Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in
connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit; provided that this paragraph shall not relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender,
or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Loan Parties may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 3.8        Letter of Credit Request.  To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Request related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this
Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. 
 3.9        Additional
Issuing Lenders.  The U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Canadian Revolving Facility Lenders (that are Canadian Residents) or U.S. Facility Lenders, as applicable, to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this Agreement.
Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to this subsection 3.9 shall be deemed to be a “U.S. Facility Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a U.S. Facility Lender) or a “Canadian Facility Issuing Lender” (in addition
to being a Canadian Facility Lender), as the case may be, and an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term
shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders and such Lender. Any such additional Issuing Lender may resign as Issuing Lender (with respect to any future issuances, including renewals) upon 10 Business Days’ notice to
the Lenders. 
 3.10        Replacement of Issuing Lender.  Any Issuing Lender may
be replaced at any time (x) by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender or (y) by the Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Borrowers), for any
reason, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of 

  

 -77- 

 
such Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of
such replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 3.3(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (1) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of such replaced Issuing Lender under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (2) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all
previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of any Issuing Lender
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to amend or extend any previously issued Letters of Credit. 
 SECTION 4        GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
 4.1        Interest Rates and Payment Dates. 
   (a)      Each (i) Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with
respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day and (ii) BA Equivalent Loans shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the BA Rate, plus the Applicable Margin for BA Equivalent Loans. 
   (b)      Each ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall bear interest for each day that it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the ABR in effect for such day plus the

in effect for such day. 
   (c)      If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any
Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee, letter of credit commission, letter of credit fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (w) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this subsection
4.1 plus 2.00%, (x) in the case of any Reimbursement Obligation, at the rate applicable under subsection 3.5 without giving effect to the proviso thereto plus 2.00%, (y) in the case of overdue interest, the rate that would be
otherwise applicable to principal of the related Loan or Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this subsection 4.1 (other than clauses (w) and (x) above) plus 2.00% and (z) in the case of
other amounts, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this subsection 4.1 for ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans accruing interest at the ABR (or the Canadian Prime Rate in the case of Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans denominated
in Canadian Dollars) plus 2.00%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). 
   (d)      Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection 4.1 shall
be payable from time to time on demand. 
   (e)      It is the intention of the parties hereto to
comply strictly with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in
connection 

  

 -78- 

 
with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing,
shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws. 
   (f)      Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real
property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on
money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears. 
   (g)      If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Secured Party in an amount or calculated at a rate which
would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or
rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by that Canadian Loan Party of
“interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: 
   (i)       first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and 
   (ii)      thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other
amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). 
   (h)      Whenever interest or fees payable by a Canadian Loan Party is calculated on the basis of a period which is less than the actual number of days in a calendar year, each rate of interest and
fee determined pursuant to such calculation is, for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and divided by the number of
days used as the basis of such calculation. 
 4.2        Conversion and Continuation Options.

   (a)      The Borrower Representative (on behalf of the applicable Borrower) may elect from time
to time to convert outstanding Loans from Eurocurrency Loans made or outstanding in Dollars to ABR Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) Bankers’ Acceptances to ABR Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, or (iii) BA Equivalent Loans to
ABR Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars by the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, giving the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, at least two Business Days’ prior
irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower
Representative (on behalf of the applicable Borrower) may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from ABR Loans denominated in Dollars to Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in Dollars or (y) made or outstanding in Canadian Dollars,
from ABR Loans to BA Equivalent Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances, by the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, giving the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, at least three
Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in Dollars, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or
Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify 

  

 -79- 

 
each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurocurrency Loans made or outstanding in Dollars or Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent
Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loan when any
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower Representative that no such conversions may be made, and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan, a
Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date. 
   (b)      Any Eurocurrency Loan, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the U.S.
Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be (on behalf of the applicable Borrower), giving notice to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, of the length of the next Interest Period to
be applicable to such Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loan may
be continued as such (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, has or the Required Lenders have
given notice to the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, that no such continuations may be made or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date, and provided,
further, that in the case of Eurocurrency Loans made or outstanding in Dollars, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, if the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, shall fail to
give any required notice as described above in this subsection 4.2(b) or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans shall be automatically
converted to ABR Loans denominated in Dollars with respect to Eurocurrency Loans and denominated in Canadian Dollars with respect to Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon
receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this subsection 4.2(b), the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. 
 4.3        Minimum Amounts of Sets.  All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans
hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Set shall be
equal to $5.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof, and the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in Canadian Dollars, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Loans comprising each Set
shall be equal to Cdn$5.0 million or a whole multiple of Cdn$1.0 million in excess thereof and so that there shall not be more than 15 Sets at any one time outstanding. 
 4.4        Prepayments. 
   (a)      Each of the Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans made to it and the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for
its account, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice by the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, to
the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding in any Canadian
Dollars), at least one Business Day’s irrevocable notice by the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable (in 

  

 -80- 

 
the case of (x) ABR Loans other than Swing Line Loans and (y) Reimbursement Obligations outstanding in Dollars or Canadian Dollars) or same day
irrevocable notice by the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable (in the case of Swing Line Loans). Such notice shall specify, in the
case of any prepayment of Loans, the identity of the prepaying Borrower, the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is (i) of Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans, or a combination thereof, and (ii) of Eurocurrency
Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans or ABR Loans or a combination thereof and, in each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each and, in the case of any prepayment of Reimbursement Obligations, the date
and amount of prepayment, the identity of the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit and the amount allocable to each of such Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as
applicable, shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurocurrency Loan, Bankers’ Acceptances
or BA Equivalent Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.12 and accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of the Revolving Credit
Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to this subsection shall (unless the Borrower Representative otherwise directs) be applied, first, to payment of any Agent Advances then outstanding, second, to the payment of the Swing
Line Loans then outstanding, third, to the payment of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, fourth, to the payment of any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, last, to cash collateralize any outstanding
Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loan or L/C Obligation on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that any pro rata calculations required to be made pursuant to this subsection 4.4(a) in
respect to any Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made on a Dollar Equivalent basis. Partial prepayments pursuant to this subsection 4.4(a) shall be in multiples of $1.0 million; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Loan may be prepaid in its entirety. 
   (b)      The U.S. Borrowers shall prepay all Swing Line
Loans then outstanding simultaneously with each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans. 
   (c)      (i) On any day (other than during an Agent Advance Period) on which the Aggregate US Borrower Extensions exceeds the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base
Certificate last delivered, the U.S. Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers and, if required, U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to
such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers and U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate amount of the U.S. Facility L/C Obligations exceeds
the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), the U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount
of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to such L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the U.S. Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder
in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent. 
   (ii)      On any day (other than during an Agent Advance Period) on which the Aggregate Canadian Borrower Extensions exceeds the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base
Certificate last delivered), the Canadian Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding
Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers, the aggregate amount of the Canadian Facility L/C Obligations exceeds the 

  

 -81- 

 
Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), the Canadian Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent
at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to such Canadian L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for
all obligations of the Canadian Borrowers to the Canadian Facility Issuing Lenders and the Canadian Facility Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

  (iii)      On any day on which the Aggregate Canadian Facility Lender Exposure exceeds the Total
Canadian Facility Commitment at such time, the Canadian Borrowers and, if applicable, the U.S. Borrowers shall prepay on such day first the Agent Advances then outstanding to them and thereafter the principal of Canadian Facility Revolving Credit
Loans made to them in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate amount of the Canadian Facility L/C Obligations, BA Equivalent Loans and
Bankers’ Acceptances exceeds the Total Canadian Facility Commitment at such time, the Canadian Borrowers shall pay to the Canadian Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such
excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Canadian Facility L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Canadian Borrowers to the Canadian Facility Issuing Lenders and the
Canadian Facility Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Canadian Agent. 
  (iv)      On any day on which the Aggregate U.S. Facility Lender Exposure exceeds the Total U.S. Facility Commitment at such time, the U.S. Borrowers shall prepay on such day first
the Agent Advances then outstanding to them and thereafter the principal of U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans,
the aggregate amount of the U.S. Facility L/C Obligations exceeds the Total U.S. Facility Commitment at such time, the U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents
equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the U.S. Facility L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the U.S. Borrowers to the applicable U.S. Facility
Issuing Lenders and the U.S. Facility Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent. 
   (d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 4.4, if at any time any prepayment of any
Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to subsection 4.4(a) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the relevant Borrower incurring breakage costs under subsection 4.12 as a result of Eurocurrency Loans,
Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the relevant Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
in its sole discretion, initially (i) deposit a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans with the Administrative Agent or
the Canadian Agent, as applicable (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrowers
to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first
occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower Representative) or
(ii) make a prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with subsection 4.4(a) with an amount equal to a portion (up to 100.0%) of the 

  

 -82- 

 
amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans or BA Equivalent Loans (which prepayment, together with any deposits
pursuant to clause (i) above, must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans not immediately prepaid); provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, none of the Borrowers may request any Extension of Credit under the Commitments that would reduce the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments to an amount that is less than the amount of such prepayment until the related portion of
such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans have been prepaid upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA
Equivalent Loans; provided that, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with subsection 4.1 until such unpaid
Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans or the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, as the case may be, have or has been prepaid. 
   (e)      For avoidance of doubt, the Commitments shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount of any
prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans, payments of Reimbursement Obligations and cash collateralizations of L/C Obligations, in each case, made under subsections 4.4(a), 4.4(b) or 4.4(c). 
 4.5        Canadian Agent’s and Administrative Agent’s Fees; Other Fees. 
   (a)      Each U.S. Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
each U.S. Facility Lender, a commitment fee for the period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the Maturity Date, computed based on the Commitment Fee Percentage on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of
such U.S. Facility Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate
as provided herein, commencing on September 30, 2007. 
   (b)      Each Canadian Borrower
agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Canadian Agent, for the account of each Canadian Facility Lender, a commitment fee for the period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the Maturity Date, computed based on the
Commitment Fee Percentage on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Canadian Facility lender during the period for which payment is made, payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December
and on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on September 30, 2007. 
   (c)      Each Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and the Other Representatives any fees in the amounts and on the dates
previously agreed to in writing by Holding Parent or the Parent Borrower, the Other Representatives and the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement. 
 4.6        Computation of Interest and Fees. 
   (a)      Interest (other than interest based on the Prime Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or BA Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees
and any other fees and interest based on the Prime Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or BA Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day (or 366-day, as the case may be) year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent,
as applicable, shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Representative and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any 

  

 -83- 

 
change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR, the Canadian Prime Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Representative and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each
such change in interest rate. 
   (b)      Each determination of an interest rate by the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent,
as applicable, shall, at the request of the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as applicable, or any Lender, deliver to the U.S. Borrower Representative, the Canadian Borrower Representative or such Lender a
statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 4.1, excluding any Eurocurrency Base Rate which is based upon the
Telerate British Bankers Assoc. Interest Settlement Rates Page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Prime Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate. 
   (c)      Bankers’ Acceptances. 
    (i)      Term.  Each Bankers’ Acceptance shall have a term of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or such other periods as the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and
the Canadian Borrower Representative may agree from time to time), subject to availability. No term of any Bankers’ Acceptance shall extend beyond the Maturity Date. 
   (ii)      BA Rate.  On each Borrowing Date or other date on which Bankers’
Acceptances are to be accepted, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent shall advise the applicable Canadian Borrowers as to such Agent’s determination of the applicable BA Rate for the Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted.

  (iii)      Purchase.  Upon acceptance of a Bankers’ Acceptance by a
Canadian Facility Lender, such Canadian Facility Lender shall purchase, or arrange the purchase of, such Bankers’ Acceptance at the applicable BA Rate. The Lender shall provide to the Canadian Agent’s account for payments of the BA
Proceeds less the BA Fee payable by the applicable Canadian Borrower with respect to the Bankers’ Acceptance. 
  (iv)      Sale.  Each Canadian Facility Lender may from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased by it. 

  (v)      Power of Attorney for the Execution of Bankers’ Acceptances.  To
facilitate the availment of the Canadian Facility by Bankers’ Acceptances, each Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each Canadian Facility Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical
signature as and when deemed necessary by such Canadian Facility Lender, blank forms of B/As. In this respect, it is each Canadian Facility Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this
Agreement. Each Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Canadian Facility Lender shall bind the applicable Canadian Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly
issued by the proper signing officers of such Canadian Borrower. Each Canadian Facility Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Canadian Facility Lender; provided that the
aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Facility Lender. No 

  

 -84- 

 
Canadian Facility Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Canadian Facility Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Each Canadian Facility Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As held by it in blank hereunder, voided by it for
any reason, accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and cancelled at their respective maturities. Each Canadian Facility Lender agrees to provide such records to any Canadian Borrower at such Canadian Borrower’s expense upon request.

  (vi)      Execution.  Drafts drawn by a Canadian Borrower to be accepted as
Bankers’ Acceptances shall be signed by a duly authorized officer or officers of the applicable Canadian Borrower or by its attorneys. Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature appears on any Bankers’ Acceptance may no longer be an
authorized signatory for the Canadian Borrower at the time of issuance of a Bankers’ Acceptance, that signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if the authority had remained in force at the time of issuance and
any Bankers’ Acceptance so signed shall be binding on such Canadian Borrower. 
 (vii)      Issuance.  The Canadian Agent, promptly following receipt of a notice of a Borrowing, conversion or continuation by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, shall advise the Canadian Facility
Lenders of the notice and shall advise each Canadian Facility Lender of the face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by it and the applicable term (which shall be identical for all Canadian Facility Lenders). The aggregate face amount
of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by a Canadian Facility Lender shall be determined by the Canadian Agent by reference to that Canadian Facility Lender’s Canadian Facility Commitment Percentage of the issue of Bankers’
Acceptances, except that, if the face amount of a Bankers’ Acceptance which would otherwise be accepted by a Canadian Facility Lender would not be Cdn$100,000.00 or a whole multiple thereof, the face amount shall be increased or reduced by the
Canadian Agent in its sole discretion to Cdn$1,000.00, or the nearest whole multiple of that amount, as appropriate, provided that after such issuance, no Canadian Facility Lender shall have aggregate outstanding Canadian Facility Revolving Credit
Loans in excess of its Canadian Facility Commitment. 
 (viii)      Rollover.  At or
before 10:00 A.M. (Toronto time) two (2) Business Days before the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptances, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall give to the Canadian Agent, written notice which notice shall specify either that the
applicable Canadian Borrower intends to repay the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances on the maturity date or that the applicable Canadian Borrower intends to issue Bankers’ Acceptances on the maturity date to provide for payment of the maturing
Bankers’ Acceptances. If the applicable Canadian Borrower fails to provide such notice to the Canadian Agent or fails to repay the maturing Bankers’ Acceptances, or if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such
maturity date, the applicable Canadian Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptances shall convert on such maturity date into an ABR Loan in an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such Bankers’ Acceptances.
Otherwise, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall provide payment to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Canadian Facility Lenders of an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the Bankers’
Acceptances issued by the applicable Canadian Facility Lenders on their maturity date. 
   (ix)      Waiver of Presentment and Other Conditions.  Each Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Canadian Facility
Lender in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of the Bankers Acceptance being held, at the maturity thereof, by the Canadian Facility Lender in its own
right and each Canadian Borrower 

  

 -85- 

 
agrees not to claim any days of grace if the Canadian Facility Lender as holder sues such Canadian Borrower on the Bankers’ Acceptance for payment of
the amount payable by the Canadian Borrower thereunder. On the specified maturity date of B/A, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Facility Lender that has accepted such B/A the full face amount of such B/A and after such
payment, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and the Canadian Facility Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under such B/A

   (x)      BA Equivalent Loans by Non-BA Lenders.  Whenever a Canadian
Borrower requests a Revolving Credit Loan by way of Bankers’ Acceptance, each Canadian Facility Lender which is a Non-BA Lender shall, in lieu of accepting and purchasing Bankers’ Acceptances, make a BA Equivalent Loan in an equivalent
aggregate amount. 
  (xi)      Terms Applicable to Discount Notes.  As set out
in the definition of the Bankers’ Acceptances, that term includes Discount Notes and all terms of this Agreement applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing BA Equivalent Loans with such changes as
may in the context be necessary. For greater certainty: 
   (a)       the term of a
Discount Note shall be the same as the term for Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased on the same Borrowing Date in respect of the same Revolving Credit Loan; 
   (b)      an acceptance fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be
calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the BA Fee in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance accepted and purchased on the same Borrowing Date in respect of the same Revolving Credit Loan; and 
   (c)      the interest rate applicable to a Discount Note shall be the BA Rate applicable to
Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by a Canadian Facility Lender other than a Schedule I Lender on the same Borrowing Date in respect of the same Revolving Credit Loan. 
   Each Canadian Borrower and each applicable Non-BA Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that from time to time certain Non-BA
Lenders, may elect not to receive any Discount Notes, and each Canadian Borrower and each applicable Non-BA Lender agrees that with respect to any such Non-BA Lender, in lieu of receiving Discount Notes, the applicable BA Equivalent Loan may be
evidenced by a loan account which such Non-BA Lender shall maintain in its name, and in such event such loan account shall be entitled to all the benefits of Discount Notes. 
 (xii)      Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada).  At the option of any Canadian Facility
Lender, Bankers’ Acceptances under this Agreement to be accepted by that Canadian Facility Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and
Notes Act (Canada). All depository bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this subsection 4.6. 
 4.7        Inability to Determine Interest Rate.  If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall have
determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate with
respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (the “Affected Eurocurrency Rate”) or the 

  

 -86- 

 
BA Rate (the “Affected BA Rate”) with respect to any Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Loans for such Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Loans,
Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Eurocurrency Rate or the Affected BA Rate, as applicable, requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made
as ABR Loans, (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on
the Affected Eurocurrency Rate or the Affected BA Rate, as applicable, shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans, (c) as to the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s cost of funding such Eurocurrency Loans or as
reasonably determined by such Lender, plus the Applicable Margin hereunder and (d) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or, BA Equivalent Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period
to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate or Affected BA Rate and that are not otherwise permitted to be converted to
or continued as ABR Loans by subsection 4.2 shall, upon demand by the Lenders the Commitment Percentage of which aggregate greater than 50.0% of such U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loan or Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, be
immediately repaid by the applicable Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto together with accrued interest thereon or otherwise, at the option of the Borrower Representative, shall remain outstanding and
bear interest at a rate which reflects, as to each of the Lenders, such Lender’s cost of funding such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans as reasonably determined by such Lender, plus the Applicable Margin
hereunder. If any such repayment occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such affected Eurocurrency Loan, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loan, the applicable Borrower shall pay to
each of the Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 4.12. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans the rate of
interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate or Affected BA Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any of the Borrowers have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or
BA Equivalent Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate or Affected BA Rate. 
 4.8        Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. 
   (a)      Each borrowing of U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans or Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, (other than Swing Line Loans) by any of the applicable Borrowers from the
Lenders hereunder shall be made, each payment by any of the Borrowers on account of any commitment fee in respect of the U.S. Facility Commitments or Canadian Facility Commitments, as applicable, hereunder shall be allocated by the Administrative
Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and any reduction of the U.S. Facility Commitments or Canadian Facility Commitments of the Lenders, as applicable, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, in
each case pro rata according to the U.S. Facility Commitment Percentage or Canadian Facility Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the applicable Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any of the applicable Borrowers on account of
principal of and interest on any U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans or Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, pro rata according to the
respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans then held by the relevant Revolving Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any of the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees,
Reimbursement Obligations or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account

  

 -87- 

 
of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans or the L/C Participants, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s or the Canadian Agent’s, as
applicable, office specified in subsection 11.2, in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable and, whether in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as
applicable, after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 1:00
P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day, and otherwise the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next
succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA
Equivalent Loans becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the
then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. Unless the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from such Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account
of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the relevant Issuing Lender hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate or the rate
customary for settlement of Canadian Dollar interbank obligations, as applicable, and as quoted by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as the case may be. 
   (b)      Unless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as the case may be, shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender
will not make the amount that would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to such Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to any Borrower in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount.
If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, on
demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate or the rate customary for settlement of Canadian Dollar interbank obligations, as applicable, and as quoted by the Administrative Agent
or the Canadian Agent, as the case may be, in each case for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as the case may be. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Agent, as the case may be, submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 4.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not
made available to the Administrative Agent or the 

  

 -88- 

 
Canadian Agent, as applicable, by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as
applicable, shall notify the Borrower Representative of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable,
shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to such Loans pursuant to subsection 4.1 on demand, from such Borrower and (y) then such Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights
or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing
available; provided that at the time such borrowing is made and at all times while such amount is outstanding such Borrower would be permitted to borrow such amount pursuant to subsection 2.1 and/or take any action permitted by the following
subsection 4.8(c). 
   (c)      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement: 
   (i)      If at any time a Lender shall not make a Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by
it hereunder (any such Lender, a “Defaulting Lender”), the Borrower Representative shall have the right to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative to each become a
substitute Lender and assume all or part of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender. In such event, the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and any such substitute Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall
thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution. 
  (ii)      In determining the Required Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded. No commitment fee shall accrue for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. 
 (iii)      If at any time any Borrower shall be required to make any payment under any Loan Document to or
for the account of a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower, so long as it is then permitted to borrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting
Lender to make such Defaulted Loan. In such event, the amount so set off and otherwise applied shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Credit Loan by such Defaulting Lender made on the date of such set-off and included within any borrowing of
Revolving Credit Loans as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine. 
 (iv)      If,
with respect to any Defaulting Lender, which for the purposes of this subsection 4.8(c)(iv), shall include any Lender that has taken any action or become the subject of any action or proceeding of a type described in subsection 9(f), any
Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under any Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower, so long as it is then permitted to borrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may satisfy such payment obligation
by paying such amount to the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, to be (to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent not utilized by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, to satisfy
obligations of the Defaulting Lender owing to it) held by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, in escrow pursuant to its standard terms (including as to the earning of interest), and applied (together with any accrued
interest) by it from time to time to make any Revolving Credit Loans or other payments as and when required to be made by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

 4.9        Illegality.  Notwithstanding any
other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans,
Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the U.S. Borrower Representative, the Canadian
Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent (in the case of Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans) (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such
Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such
Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan (or a Swing Line Loan) when an Affected Loan is requested (to the extent otherwise permitted by subsection 4.2), (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as
Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law (to the extent otherwise permitted by
subsection 4.2 and (d) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, not otherwise permitted to be converted to ABR Loans by subsection 4.2 (whether because such Loans are denominated in Canadian Dollars or otherwise),
shall upon notice to the Parent Borrower be prepaid with accrued interest thereon on the last of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (or such earlier date as may be required by an such Requirement of Law). If any such conversion or
prepayment of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to
subsection 4.12. 
 4.10      Requirements of Law. 
   (a)      If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof applicable to any Lender or Issuing Lender, or compliance by any Lender or Issuing Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made
subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender or such Issuing Lender becomes an Issuing Lender): 
    (i)      shall subject such Lender or Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit Request, any Eurocurrency Loan, Bankers’
Acceptances or any BA Equivalent Loans made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Lender
in respect thereof, in each case except for Non-Excluded Taxes and taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise taxes, or taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch taxes (in the case of such
capital, net worth or branch taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender or Issuing Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof; 
   (ii)      shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan
or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Issuing Lender which is not
otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate or BA Rate, as the case may be, hereunder; or 
  (iii)      shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever); 
  

 -90- 

 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender or Issuing
Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or the cost to an Issuing Lender of issuing or
maintaining Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower Representative from such Lender or Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Agent, as applicable, in accordance herewith, the applicable Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or Issuing Lender upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced
amount receivable with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans or Letters of Credit, provided that, in any such case, such Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’
Acceptances and/or BA Equivalent Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, at least one Business Day’s notice of such election, in which case the applicable
Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 4.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 4.12.
If any Lender or Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as
applicable, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and
(z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender or Issuing Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such
Lender or Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving
Credit Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
   (b)      If any Lender or Issuing Lender
shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
or Issuing Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s obligations or hereunder or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which
such Lender, Issuing Lender, or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Agent as applicable) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of
return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender, Issuing Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the applicable Borrower shall
pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by
such Lender or Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection 4.10 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Credit Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  

 -91- 

   (c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
subsection 4.10, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, to the extent such additional cost or reduction is
attributable, directly or indirectly, to the application of, compliance with or implementation of specific capital adequacy requirements or new methods of calculating capital adequacy, including any part or “pillar” (including Pillar 2
(“Supervisory Review Process”)), of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement Standards: a Revised Framework, published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, or any implementation or adoption
(whether voluntary or compulsory) thereof, whether by an EC Directive or the FSA Integrated Prudential Sourcebook or any other law or regulation, or otherwise. 
 4.11      Taxes. 
   (a)      Except as provided below in this subsection or as required by law, all payments made by each of the Borrowers under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by any such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable by any such Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder
at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that each Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and such Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such
amounts payable by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to or for the account of any Agent or Lender, shall not be increased (x) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraphs (b) or (c) of this
subsection 4.11 or subsection 4.15, (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed (1) as a result of a change in treaty,
law or regulation that occurred after such Agent became an Agent hereunder or such Lender became a Lender hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the
relevant beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “Change in Law”) or (2) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to
receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with
respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective, or
(z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed (1) as a result of a Change in Law or (2) on a Person that is an
assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by a Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject
to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from a Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such
assignment was effective. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender or Agent, as the
case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other documentary evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If any Borrower fails to pay any
Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall 

  

 -92- 

 
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Agents for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
   (b)      Each Agent and each Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this
Agreement pursuant to subsection 11.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Agent or Lender, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form), in each case certifying that
such Agent or Lender is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal backup
withholding Tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. Each Agent and each Lender that is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the
Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 11.6, on the date of such
assignment or transfer to such Agent or Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor forms), in each case
certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, (ii) if such Agent or
Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor form) pursuant
to clause (i) above, (x) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit J (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal
withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note or (iii) if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, two accurate and
complete signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (and all necessary attachments, including to the extent applicable, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates) certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a
complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note (or, to the extent the beneficial owners of such non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are
(A) non-U.S. persons claiming portfolio interest treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or (B) United States persons, a complete exemption from United States federal backup
withholding tax), unless, in each case, such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that
occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled
to receive at the time such assignment was effective. In addition, each Agent and Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when the passage of time or a change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or
inaccurate, such Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN
(claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, or Form W-8IMY (with respect to a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity),
as the 

  

 -93- 

 
case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Agent or Lender to a continued exemption from
United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note (or, to the extent the beneficial owners of such non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are (A) non-U.S. persons claiming portfolio interest
treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or (B) United States persons, a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case) (1) there has
been a Change in Law that occurs after the date such Agent or Lender becomes an Agent or Lender hereunder (or after the date the relevant beneficiary or member in the case of a Lender that is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity for U.S.
federal income tax purposes becomes a beneficiary or member, if later) which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Agent or Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, in which case such
Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form or (2) such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to
payments made by a Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from a Borrower,
provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective. 
   (c)      Each Agent and Lender shall, upon request by the Borrower Representative, deliver to the Borrower
Representative or the applicable Governmental Authority, as the case may be, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by any Borrower under this Agreement or any Note to such Agent or Lender may be made free and clear of, and
without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes (or to allow any such deduction or withholding to be at a reduced rate), provided that such Agent or Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such
form or certificate. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 11.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements pursuant to this
subsection 4.11, provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this subsection 4.11 shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such
Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased. 
 4.12      Indemnity.  Each U.S. Borrower agrees to indemnify each U.S. Facility Lender in respect of Extensions of Credit made, or requested to be made, to the U.S.
Borrowers, and each Canadian Borrower agrees to indemnify each Canadian Facility Lender in respect of Extensions of Credit made, or requested to be made, to the Canadian Borrowers, and in each case, to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or
expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of
Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans after the Borrower Representative has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any
prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans after the Borrower Representative has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or
prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect
thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the
date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or 

  

 -94- 

 
continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency
Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which
would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in
this subsection 4.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or
(c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks
indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as
applicable, to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection 4.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

4.13      Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. 
   (a)      Upon the request, and at the expense, of the applicable Borrower, each Agent, Lender and Issuing
Lender to which any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to subsection 4.10 or 4.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford such Borrower the opportunity to
contest, and reasonably cooperate with such Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender shall not be required to afford such Borrower
the opportunity to so contest unless such Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) such Borrower shall reimburse such Agent, Lender
or Issuing Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with such Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing no Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender shall be required to afford such Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with such Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Agent, Lender or
Issuing Lender in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it. 
   (b)      If a Lender or Issuing Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to paragraph (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) or
(f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause any Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 4.10 or 4.11, such Borrower shall not be
obligated to pay such additional amount. 
   (c)      If a condition or an event occurs which would,
or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Lender by any Borrower pursuant to subsection 4.10 or 4.11, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly after becoming
aware of such event or condition notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook
the Loans or issued, Letters of Credit, as the case may be, held by such Lender or Issuing Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender or Issuing Lender); provided that such Lender or Issuing
Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless such Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender or
Issuing Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof). 
  

 -95- 

   (d)      If any of the Borrowers shall become obligated to pay
additional amounts pursuant to subsection 4.10 or 4.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under subsection 4.10 or 4.11, the applicable Borrower shall have the right, for so long as
such obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable,
and such Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) so long as no
Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, to prepay
the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, then, the Parent Borrower, any other applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected
Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to subsection 11.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender;
provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 11.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Parent Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the applicable
Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 4.10 and 4.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under subsection 4.13) prior to such
substitution or prepayment. 
   (e)      If any Agent, Lender or any Issuing Lender receives a
refund directly attributable to taxes for which any Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) or 4.11(a), such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with
any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to such Borrower; provided, however, that the applicable Borrower agrees promptly to return
such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Agent, Issuing Lender or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund
is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority. 
   (f)      The obligations of any
Agent, Lender, Issuing Lender or Participant under this subsection 4.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 4.14      Controls on Prepayment if Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exceeds Aggregate Commitments.

   (a)      The Borrower Representatives will implement and maintain internal controls to monitor
the borrowings and repayments of Loans by the Borrowers and the issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit, with the object of preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit
with respect to all of the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) being in excess of the aggregate Commitments then in effect and of promptly identifying any circumstance where, by reason of changes in exchange rates, the Aggregate Outstanding
Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) exceeds the aggregate Commitments then in effect. 
  

 -96- 

   (b)      The Administrative Agent will calculate each Canadian
Facility Lender Exposure and U.S. Facility Lender Exposure from time to time, and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar month. In making such calculations, the Administrative Agent will rely on the information most recently
received by it from the Swing Line Lender in respect of outstanding Swing Line Loans and from the Issuing Lenders in respect of outstanding L/C Obligations. 
 4.15      Canadian Facility Lenders. 
   (a)      The Canadian Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent and any Lender that holds any commitment or makes or holds any Extension of Credit to a Canadian Borrower (such Lender, a “Canadian
Extender of Credit”) will at all times be a Canadian Resident. To the extent legally entitled to do so, the Canadian Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent and each Canadian Extender of Credit shall, upon written request by the Canadian
Borrower Representative, deliver to it or the applicable governmental or taxing authority, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by a Canadian Borrower under this Agreement or any Notes to, or for the account of, such Person may
be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Non-Excluded Taxes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of such a request such Person shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent
unreimbursed by a Borrower) which would be imposed on such Person of complying with such request. 
   (b)      A Canadian Facility Lender may change its Affiliates acting as Canadian Facility Lender hereunder but only pursuant to an assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent (with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Borrowers), where the respective assignee represents and warrants that it is an Affiliate of the respective Canadian Facility Lender and
represents and warrants that it is a Canadian Resident and will act directly as a Canadian Facility Lender with respect to the Canadian Facility Commitment of the respective Canadian Facility Lender. 
 4.16      Cash Receipts. 
   (a)      Schedule 4.16(a) lists with respect to each depository where a DDA is located (i) the name and address of such depository; (ii) the account number(s)
maintained with such depository; and (iii) a contact person at such depository. 
   (b)      Each Loan Party that is a U.S. Borrower or U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor shall (i) enter into concentration account control agreements (the “Concentration Account
Agreements”) covering accounts maintained by the Borrower at JPMorgan, SunTrust Banks, Inc., Wells Fargo & Company, Bank of America, N.A. and/or Wachovia Bank (or such other banks that are reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent) (the “Concentration Accounts”), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with JPMorgan, SunTrust Banks, Inc., Wells Fargo & Company, Bank of America, N.A. and/or Wachovia Bank (or
such other banks that are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) either (A) instruct all Account Debtors of such Loan Party that remit payments of Accounts of such Account Debtors regularly by check pursuant to
arrangements with such Loan Party to remit all such payments to the applicable “P.O. Boxes” or “Lockbox Addresses” with respect to the applicable DDA or Concentration Account, which remittances shall be collected by the
applicable bank and deposited in the applicable DDA or Concentration Account, to be swept within 1 Business Day of becoming available to a Concentration Account, (B) cause the checks of any such Account Debtor in payment of any Account to be
deposited in the applicable DDA or Concentration Account within two Business Days after such check is received by such Loan Party, to be swept within 1 Business Day of becoming available to a Concentration Account or (C) cause amounts
constituting payments on Accounts that are deposited in other accounts (including any accounts where they are 

  

 -97- 

 
commingled with other funds), to the extent that the balance in any such other account exceeds $25,000, to be swept within 1 Business Day of becoming
available to a Concentration Account; provided that the aggregate balance of all such other accounts that are not Concentration Accounts and are not so swept shall at no time exceed, when taken together with the accounts referred to in the
proviso in subsection 4.16(c)(ii)(C) below, $1,000,000. All amounts received by a U.S. Borrower or a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of any Account, in addition to all other cash received from any other source, shall upon receipt of such amount
or cash (other than any such amount or cash excluded from the Collateral pursuant to any Security Document) be deposited into a DDA or Concentration Account, to be swept within 1 Business Day of becoming available to a Concentration Account. Each
Loan Party agrees that it will not cause proceeds of such DDAs to be directed other than as set forth in this clause (b)(ii), unless such proceeds are swept within 1 Business Day of becoming available to a Concentration Account. 
   (c)      Each Canadian Loan Party shall (i) enter into concentration account control agreements (the
“Canadian Concentration Account Agreements”) covering accounts maintained by the Parent Borrower (or a Canadian Borrower designated by the Parent Borrower) at Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal and/or The Toronto-Dominion Bank (or such
other banks that are reasonably acceptable to the Canadian Agent) (the “Canadian Concentration Accounts”), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Canadian Agent, with Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal and/or The Toronto-Dominion Bank (or
such other banks that are reasonably acceptable to the Canadian Agent), and (ii) either (A) instruct all Account Debtors of such Canadian Loan Party that remit payments of Accounts of such Account Debtors regularly by check pursuant to
arrangements with such Canadian Loan Party to remit all such payments to the applicable “P.O. Boxes” or “Lockbox Addresses” with respect to the applicable DDA or Canadian Concentration Account, which remittances shall be
collected by the applicable bank and deposited in the applicable DDA or Canadian Concentration Account, to be swept within 1 Business Day of becoming available to a Canadian Concentration Account, (B) cause the checks of any such Account Debtor

Canadian Concentration Account or (C) cause amounts constituting payments on Accounts that are deposited in other accounts (including any accounts where they are commingled with other funds), to the extent that the balance in any such other
account exceeds $25,000, to be swept within 1 Business Day of becoming available to a Canadian Concentration Account; provided that the aggregate balance of all such other accounts that are not Canadian Concentration Accounts and are not so
swept shall at no time exceed, when taken together with the accounts referred to in the proviso in subsection 4.16(b)(ii)(C) above, $1,000,000. All amounts received by a Canadian Loan Party in respect of any Account, in addition to all other cash
received from any other source, shall upon receipt of such amount or cash (other than any such amount or cash excluded from the Collateral pursuant to any Security Document) be deposited into a DDA or Canadian Concentration Account, to be swept
within 1 Business Day of becoming available to a Canadian Concentration Account. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not cause proceeds of such DDAs to be directed other than as set forth in this clause (c)(ii), unless such proceeds are swept within
1 Business Day of becoming available to a Canadian Concentration Account. 
   (d)      [Reserved]

   (e)      The Concentration Accounts shall at all times upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in subsection 9(a), or with respect to the Parent Borrower, subsection 9(f), or a Liquidity Event be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Each Loan Party hereby
acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in subsection 9(a), or with respect to the Parent Borrower, subsection 9(f), or a Liquidity Event (x) such Loan Party has
no right of withdrawal from a Concentration Account, (y) the funds on deposit in a Concentration Account shall at all times 

  

 -98- 

 
continue to be collateral security for all of the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (z) the funds on
deposit in a Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in subsection 10.17. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection 4.16, any Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any cash proceeds or
collections of Inventory constituting Collateral (which proceeds constitute Collateral) required to be transferred to a Concentration Account pursuant to subsection 4.16(b), such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Loan Party for
the Administrative Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Loan Party and shall promptly be deposited into a Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such
Loan Party may be instructed by the Administrative Agent. 
   (f)       The Canadian
Concentration Account shall at all times upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in subsection 9(a), or with respect to the Parent Borrower, subsection 9(f), or a Liquidity Event be under the sole
dominion and control of the Canadian Agent. Each Canadian Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in subsection 9(a), or with respect to the Parent
Borrower, subsection 9(f), or a Liquidity Event (x) such Canadian Loan Party has no right of withdrawal from a Canadian Concentration Account, (y) the funds on deposit in a Canadian Concentration Account shall at all times continue to be
collateral security for all of the obligations of the Canadian Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (z) the funds on deposit in the Canadian Concentration Accounts shall be applied as provided in subsection 10.17. In
the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection 4.16, any Canadian Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any cash proceeds or collections of Inventory constituting Collateral (which proceeds constitute
Collateral) required to be transferred to a Canadian Concentration Account pursuant to subsection 4.16(c), such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Canadian Loan Party for the Canadian Agent, shall not be commingled with any of
such Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Canadian Loan Party and shall promptly be deposited in a Canadian Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Canadian Loan Party may be instructed by the
Canadian Agent. 
   (g)      So long as (i) no Event of Default of the type described in
subsection (9)(a), or with respect to the Parent Borrower, subsection (9)(f), has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) no Liquidity Event has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties may direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner
of disposition of funds in the DDAs, the Concentration Accounts and the Canadian Concentration Accounts. 
   (h)      Any amounts held or received in a Concentration Account or a Canadian Concentration Account (including all interest and other earnings with respect hereto, if any) at any time (x) when
all of the obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been satisfied or (y) no Events of Default of the type described in subsection 9(a), or with respect to the Parent Borrower, subsection 9(f), and no Liquidity Event exists
or any such Events of Default have been cured, or Liquidity Event ceases to exist, shall (subject in the case of clause (x) to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement) be remitted to the operating account of the applicable Borrower.

   (i)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall be deemed
to be in compliance with the requirements set forth in this subsection 4.16 during the initial ninety (90) day period commencing on the Closing Date to the extent that the arrangements described above are established and effective not later
than the date that is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date or such later date as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may agree.

 SECTION 5        REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES.  To induce the Administrative Agent the Issuing Lender and each Lender to make the Extensions of Credit requested to be made by it on the Closing Date and on each Borrowing Date thereafter, the Parent Borrower hereby
represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions, and on each Borrowing Date thereafter, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 5.1      Financial Condition.  The audited combined balance sheets of the Acquired Business and its
combined Subsidiaries as of January 29, 2006 and January 28, 2007 and the combined statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows of the Acquired Business and its combined Subsidiaries for the
fiscal years ended January 29, 2006 and January 28, 2007, reported on by and accompanied by unqualified reports from KPMG LLP, present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial condition as at such date, and the combined
results of operations and earnings, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended, of the Acquired Business and its combined Subsidiaries. All such financial statements, including the
related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby (except as approved by a Responsible Officer of the Acquired Business, and disclosed in any such schedules
and notes, and subject to the omission of footnotes from such unaudited financial statements). 
 5.2      Solvent; No Material Adverse Effect. 
   (a)      As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions occurring on the Closing Date, the Parent Borrower is Solvent. 
   (b)      Since the Closing Date, there has not been any event, change, circumstance or development which,
individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.3      Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.  Each of the Loan Parties (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or formation, (b) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is
currently engaged, except to the extent that the failure to have such legal right would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or a limited liability company or an unlimited
company and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified
and in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.4      Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable
Obligations.  Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to obtain
Extensions of Credit hereunder, and each such Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents, Notes and Letter of Credit Requests to which it is
a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to authorize the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in
respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan 
  

 -100- 

 
Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of each Borrower, with the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, hereunder, except for (a) consents,
authorizations, notices and filings described in Schedule 5.4, all of which have been obtained or made prior to or on the Closing Date, (b) filings to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents, (c) filings pursuant to
the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. § 3727 et seq.), in respect of Accounts of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries the Obligor in respect of which is the United States of America or any
department, agency or instrumentality thereof, (d) filings pursuant to the Financial Administration Act (Canada) in respect of accounts of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries the Obligor in respect of which is Her Majesty the Queen
in the right of Canada or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof and (e) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Borrower and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with
its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles
(whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 5.5        No Legal
Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by any of the Loan Parties, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its
properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation. 
 5.6        No Material Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent
Borrower, threatened by or against the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues, (a) except as described on Schedule 5.6, which is so pending or threatened at any
time on or prior to the Closing Date and relates to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.7        No Default.  Since the Closing Date, neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since the Closing Date, no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. 
 5.8        Ownership of Property; Liens.  Each of the
Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has good title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property, except where the
failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgaged Properties as listed on Schedule 5.8 together constitute all the material real properties owned in fee by the Loan Parties as of the
Closing Date. 
 5.9        Intellectual Property.  The Parent Borrower and each of
its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or has the legal right to use, all United States patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for each of them to conduct
its business substantially as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”) except for those the failure to own or have such legal right to use would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 -101- 

 5.10        Taxes.  To the knowledge of the
Parent Borrower, each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all United States and Canadian federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has
paid (a) all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and (b) all taxes shown to be due and payable on any assessments of which it has received notice made against it or any of its property, including the Mortgaged Properties, and
all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority and no tax Lien has been filed, and no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge (other than, for purposes of
this subsection 5.10, any (i) taxes, fees, other charges or Liens with respect to which the failure to pay, or the existence thereof, in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) taxes, fees or other charges the
amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Holding, the Parent Borrower or one
or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be). 
 5.11        Federal
Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any Extensions of Credit will be used for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

 5.12        ERISA. 
 (a)        During the five year period prior to each date as of which this representation is made, or deemed

subsection 5.12(a) with respect to a Multiemployer Plan is based on knowledge of the Parent Borrower.

applicable Governmental Authorities); (vi) any facts that, to the best knowledge of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, exist that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a dispute and any pending or threatened
disputes that, to the best knowledge of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries concerning the assets of
any Foreign Plan (other than individual claims for the payment of benefits); and (vii) failure to make all contributions in a timely manner to the extent required by applicable non-U.S. law. 
 5.13        Collateral. 
   (a)        Upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Holding Pledge Agreement and the Mortgages will be
effective to create (to the extent described therein) in favor of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein, except as may be limited by

that would reasonably be expected to result in the cancellation of any such insurance policy or would reasonably be expected to void coverage required to be maintained with respect to such property pursuant to subsection 7.5(a). 
   (iii)    If any such Loan Party is in default of its obligations to insure or deliver any such prepaid
policy or policies, the result of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then the Administrative Agent, at its option upon 10 days’ written notice to the Parent Borrower, may effect such insurance from year to
year at rates substantially similar to the rate at which such Loan Party had insured such property, and pay the premium or premiums therefor, and the Parent Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent on demand such premium or
premiums so paid by the Administrative Agent with interest from the time of payment at a rate per annum equal to 2.00%.

and its representatives may do any of the foregoing at the Borrowers’ expense.

such field examinations, verifications and evaluations (including environmental assessments) as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate. Unless an Event of Default or Liquidity Event exists, or if previously approved by the Parent

expense of the Loan Parties; provided that (i) absent the existence and continuation of an Event of Default or a Liquidity Event, the Administrative Agent may conduct at the expense of the Loan Parties no more than three (3) such

such field examination, in the absence of an Event of Default or a Liquidity Event, shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties if, at the commencement of such field examination, Excess Availability is at or above $300.0 million). All amounts
chargeable to the applicable Borrowers under this subsection 7.6(b) shall constitute obligations that are secured by all of the applicable Collateral and shall be payable to the Agents hereunder.

soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower knows thereof, any (i) default or event of default under any Contractual Obligation of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than as previously disclosed in
writing to the Lenders or (ii) litigation, investigation or proceeding which may exist at any time between the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Governmental Authority, which would reasonably be expected to be

Multiemployer Plan or (ii) the institution of proceedings or the taking of any other formal action by the PBGC or the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Commonly Controlled Entity or any Multiemployer Plan which could
reasonably be expected to result in the withdrawal from, or the termination, Reorganization or Insolvency of, any Single Employer Plan or Multiemployer Plan; provided, however, that no such notice will be required under clause (i)

(i) Release by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Materials of Environmental Concern required to be reported under applicable Environmental Laws to any Governmental Authority, unless the Parent Borrower reasonably
determines that the total Environmental Costs arising out of such Release would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) any condition, circumstance, occurrence or event not previously disclosed in writing to the
Administrative Agent that would reasonably be expected to result in liability or expense under applicable Environmental Laws, unless the Parent Borrower reasonably determines that the total Environmental Costs arising out of such condition,
circumstance, occurrence or event would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or would not reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of any lien or other material restriction on the title, ownership or
transferability of any facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) any proposed action to
be taken by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to subject the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any material additional or different requirements or liabilities under

that, upon learning of any actual or suspected noncompliance, the Parent Borrower and any such affected Subsidiary shall promptly undertake reasonable efforts, if any, to achieve compliance, and provided, further, that in any case such
noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

or impair the attachment or perfection of any security interest in any Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents which would attach or be perfected pursuant to the terms thereof without action by any Loan Party or any other Person and
(ii) no such Lien shall be required to be granted as contemplated by this subsection 7.9 on any owned real property or fixtures the acquisition of which is or is to be financed or refinanced in whole or in part through the incurrence of
Indebtedness, until such Indebtedness is repaid in full (and not refinanced) or, as the case may be, the Parent Borrower determines not to proceed with such financing or refinancing and (iii) any such mortgage by a Canadian Subsidiary shall not

directly by the Parent Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so request (it being
understood that if the Administrative Agent does not so request with respect to any such Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary that it believes is or is likely to become material to the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken
as a whole, it will provide notice to the Lenders thereof), promptly (i) execute and deliver to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the U.S. Secured Parties a new pledge agreement or such amendments to the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement as the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or reasonably advisable to grant to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the U.S. Secured Parties, a perfected security interest (as and to the extent provided
in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock of such new Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary that is directly owned by the Parent Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary)
(provided that in no event shall more than 65% of the Capital Stock of any such new Foreign Subsidiary that is so owned be required to be so pledged and, provided, further, that no such pledge or security shall be required with
respect to any non-wholly owned Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent that the grant of such pledge or security interest would violate the terms of any agreements under which the Investment by the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries was made therein other than any agreement entered into primarily for the purposes of imposing such a restriction) and (ii) to the extent reasonably deemed advisable by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, deliver to the U.S. ABL
Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative (as bailee for perfection on behalf of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent) the certificates, if any, representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in blank

perfected in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law, including, without limitation, the filing of financing statements or equivalents in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Canadian Collateral Agent. 
   (d)        At its own expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution,
acknowledgement and delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record in an appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument reasonably deemed by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent, as applicable, to be
necessary or desirable for the creation, perfection and priority and the continuation of the validity, perfection and priority of the foregoing Liens or any other Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents. 
   (e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this subsection 7.9
shall require that any Loan Party grant a Lien with respect to any owned real property or fixtures in which such Loan Party acquires ownership rights to the extent that the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable judgment, determines that the
granting of such a Lien is impracticable.

shall have continued unremedied for a period of 20 days; or 
 (j)        A Change of
Control shall have occurred; 
 then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or
(ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to any Borrower, the Commitments and any obligation of an Issuing Lender to issue, amend or renew Letters of Credit, if any, shall automatically immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with
accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement (including, all amounts of BA Equivalent Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit
shall have presented the documents required thereunder) and whether or not the BA Equivalent Loans or Bankers’ Acceptances have matured) shall immediately become due and payable and the outstanding Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized
in accordance with the following paragraph, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the
request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the U.S. Borrower Representative and the Canadian Borrower Representative, (x) declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall
immediately terminate and/or (y) declare any obligation of any Issuing Lender to issue, amend or renew Letters of Credit to be terminated; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request
of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the U.S. Borrower Representative and the Canadian Borrower Representative, (x) declare the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other
amounts owing under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all amounts of Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Loans and L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the
documents required thereunder and whether or not the Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Loans have matured) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable and/or (y) require the Borrowers to
cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the following paragraph. 
 In the case of all U.S. Facility Letters
of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the applicable U.S. Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the
Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such U.S. Facility Letters of Credit (and each U.S. Borrower hereby grants to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such collateral account to secure the undrawn and unexpired amount of such U.S. Facility Letters of Credit and all other obligations
under the Loan Documents of the U.S. Borrowers). In the case of all Canadian Facility Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the
applicable Canadian Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Canadian Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Canadian Facility Letters of
Credit (and the Canadian Borrowers hereby grant to the Canadian Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the applicable Secured 

  

 -131- 

 
Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure the undrawn and unexpired amount of
such Canadian Facility Letters of Credit and all other obligations of such Canadian Borrowers under the Loan Documents). Each Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the account of the
Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, such further documents and instruments as such Agent may request to evidence the creation and perfection of such security interest in such cash collateral accounts. If at any time the Administrative Agent or
the Canadian Agent, as applicable, determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the
applicable Secured Parties, or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of outstanding U.S. Facility Letters of Credit or Canadian Facility Letters of Credit, as applicable, the applicable
Borrowers, shall, forthwith, upon demand by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral
account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as
applicable, determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account with respect to U.S. Facility Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under
such U.S. Facility Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such U.S. Facility Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents. Amounts held in any such cash collateral account with respect to Canadian Facility Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Canadian Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Canadian Facility Letters of
Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Canadian Facility Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Canadian Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. After all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid
in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party or as
beneficiary of any security granted pursuant to the Security Documents shall have any right to exercise remedies in respect of such security without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders. 
 Except as expressly provided above in this Section 9, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

 SECTION 10        THE AGENTS AND THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES. 
 10.1      Appointment. 
   (a)      Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender
irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or required
of such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents and the Other
Representatives shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the U.S. ABL Canadian Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent, and the Issuing Lender, those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or 

  

 -132- 

 
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent or the Other Representatives. Each of the
Agents may perform any of their respective duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates
(it being understood and agreed, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that the Administrative Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent may perform any of their
respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates). 
   (b)      For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Agents or any other Person acting as an agent, attorney-in-fact or mandatory for the Agents under this Agreement or under any
of the Loan Documents, each Lender (for itself and for all other Secured Parties that are Affiliates of such Lender) and each Agent hereby (a) irrevocably appoints and constitutes (to the extent necessary) and confirms the constitution of (to
the extent necessary), the Canadian Collateral Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (in such capacity, the “fondé de pouvoir”) within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of
Québec for the purposes of entering and holding on their behalf, and for their benefit, any Liens, including hypothecs, granted or to be granted by any Loan Party on movable or immovable property pursuant to the laws of the Province of
Québec to secure obligations of any Loan Party under any bond issued by any Loan Party and exercising such powers and duties which are conferred upon the Canadian Collateral Agent in its capacity as fondé de pouvoir under any of
the Quebec Security Documents; and (b) appoints (and confirms the appointment of) and agrees that the Canadian Agent, acting as agent for the applicable Secured Parties, may act as the custodian, registered holder and mandatory (in such
capacity, the “Custodian”) with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged from time to time for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties. Each applicable Secured Party shall be entitled to the benefits of any charged
property covered by any of the Quebec Security Documents and will participate in the proceeds of realization of any such charged property, the whole in accordance with the terms thereof. 
   (c)      The said constitution of the Canadian Collateral Agent as fondé de pouvoir (within the
meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) and of the Canadian Agent as Custodian with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged by any Loan Party from time to time for the benefit of the applicable Secured
Parties shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by any Assignee by the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance. 
   (d)      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act Respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons (Québec), the Administrative Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent,
the Canadian Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent may purchase, acquire and be the holder of any bond issued by any Loan Party. Each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges that any such bond shall constitute a title of indebtedness, as such term
is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec. 
   (e)      The Canadian
Collateral Agent herein appointed as fondé de pouvoir and Custodian shall have the same rights, powers and immunities as the Agents as stipulated in this Section 10 of the Credit Agreement, which shall apply mutatis
mutandis. Without limitation, the provisions of subsection 10.10 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor to the Canadian Collateral Agent acting as fondé de pouvoir and Custodian.

   (f)      The execution by Merrill Lynch Capital Canada Inc. as fondé de pouvoir
and mandatary, prior to this agreement of any deeds of hypothec or other Security Documents is hereby ratified and confirmed. 
  

 -133- 

 10.2      Delegation of Duties.  In performing its
functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) obligation or relationship of
agency or trust with or for the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Canadian Agent in the
case of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent in the case of the Canadian Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent in the case of the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent in the case of the Canadian Collateral Agent,
the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent in the case of the Canadian Agent), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care. 
 10.3      Exculpatory Provisions.  No Agent or Other Representative, or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for (i) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or any Other Representative under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Notes or any other Loan Document, (iii) any failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to perform its
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 6, or (vi) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. No Agent or Other Representative shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or any other Loan Party. Each Lender agrees that, except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent hereunder or given to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent for the account of or with copies for the Lenders,
the Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Agents and the Other Representatives or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 
 10.4      Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected (and shall have no liability to any Person) in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it
to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent.
The Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with subsection 11.6 and all actions required by such subsection in
connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on
any subsequent holder, 

  

 -134- 

 
transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. Each Agent shall be fully justified
as between itself and the Lenders in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of
the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 11.1(a) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and any Notes and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders and/or
such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 11.1(a), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

 10.5      Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent and Canadian Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default
or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent shall take such action reasonably promptly with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders and/or such other
requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 11.1(a); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
 10.6      Acknowledgement and Representations by Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of
the Agents, the Other Representatives or their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent or any Other Representative hereafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of any Borrowers or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Other Representative to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents, the Other
Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Other Representatives or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make,
its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into
this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Agents nor any Other Representative shall have
any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note 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. Each Lender represents to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which
makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of subsection 11.6 applicable to the Lenders hereunder. 
  

 -135- 

 10.7      Indemnification. 
   (a)      The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (or any Affiliate thereof), each Issuing Lender (or
Affiliate thereof) and each Other Representative (or any Affiliate thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective
Total Credit Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection 10.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Revolving Credit Loans shall have
been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Total Credit Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Revolving Credit Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from (a) such
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against such Agent by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or
creditor solely in its capacity as such. The obligations to indemnify the Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender shall be ratable among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, the
outstanding principal amount of their respective Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations and their respective participating interests in the outstanding Letters of Credit) and shall be payable only by the Lenders. The agreements in this
subsection 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
   (b)      Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or
under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

   (c)      The provisions of this subsection 10.7 shall apply to the Issuing Lender in its
capacity as such to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent. 
   (d)      The provisions of this subsection 10.7 shall survive the payment of all Borrower Obligations and Guarantor Obligations (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement).

 10.8      The Agents and Other Representatives in Their Individual Capacity.  The Agents,
the Other Representatives and their Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any other Loan Party as though the Agents and the Other Representatives were not the
Administrative Agent or the Other Representatives hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to Loans made or renewed by them and any Note issued to them and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by them, the
Agents and the Other Representatives shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not an Agent or an Other Representative, and the terms
“Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agents and the Other Representatives in their individual capacities. 
  

 -136- 

 10.9      Right to Request and Act on Instructions. 
   (a)      Each Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or
approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents an Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the requesting Agent shall be absolutely entitled as between itself
and the Lenders to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Lender for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall
have received such instructions from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a
result of an Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documentation in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders or Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be
prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), an Agent shall have no obligation to any Lender to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such
action would violate applicable law or exposes an Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.7. 
   (b)      Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agents to enter into the Security Documents, the Intercreditor
Agreement and any Replacement Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note or participant in a Letter of Credit by the acceptance thereof will be deemed
to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Replacement Intercreditor Agreement, and the exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent are hereby authorized on behalf of all of the
Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security
interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. 
   (c)      The Lenders hereby authorize the Canadian Collateral Agent and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to (A) release any Lien
granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon payment and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Loan Documents at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby and with no Letters of Credit outstanding (unless cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable) and no other amounts
owing hereunder, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than a Loan Party) upon the sale or other disposition thereof, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders
(or such greater amount, to the extent required by subsection 11.1) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents or (B) enter into any intercreditor agreement on behalf of, and binding with respect to,
the Lenders and their interest in designated assets, including to clarify the respective rights of all parties in and to designated assets. Upon request by the Canadian Collateral Agent or the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, at any time, the Lenders will
confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this subsection 10.9. 
  

 -137- 

   (d)      The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent,
the Canadian Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to enter into any amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver, supplement or
modification, and to make or consent to any filings or to take any other actions, in each case as contemplated by subsection 11.17. Upon request by any Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s, the
Canadian Agent’s, the Canadian Collateral Agent’s and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent’s authority under this subsection 10.9(d). 
   (e)      No Agent or Issuing Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared
for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to
continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this subsection 10.9 or in any of the Security Documents, it being
understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as
Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
   (f)      The U.S. ABL Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the U.S. ABL Collateral
Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the Collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree. The Canadian Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Canadian Agent as its
agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the Canadian Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the collateral as such Agents may from time to time
agree. 
   (g)      In connection with the sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of any
Borrower other than the Parent Borrower (other than to the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) or any other transaction pursuant to which such Borrower shall no longer be a Restricted Subsidiary, upon written notice by the Parent Borrower to
the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, identifying such Borrower, describing such sale, disposition or other transaction and certifying that such transaction complies with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to such Borrower (at its expense) all releases or other documents necessary or reasonably desirable for the release of such Borrower from its obligations as a Borrower hereunder, and the U.S.
ABL Collateral Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to such Borrower (at its expense) all releases or other documents (including without limitation UCC termination statements) necessary or reasonably
desirable for the release of the Liens created under the Security Documents in any property or assets of such Borrower, as such Borrower may reasonably request. 
 10.10   Successor Agent.  Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, the Administrative Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent and the Canadian
Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent, U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, Canadian Agent or Canadian Collateral Agent, respectively, upon 10 days’ notice to the applicable Lenders and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent,
the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent, U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, Canadian Agent or Canadian Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, then the Required Lenders (in the case of the Administrative Agent and the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent) or the majority of the remaining Canadian Facility Lenders (in the case of the Canadian Agent or the 

  

 -138- 

 
Canadian Collateral Agent) shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to approval by the
Parent Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent or the
Canadian Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent,” “U.S. ABL Collateral Agent,” “Canadian Agent” or “Canadian Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor agent
effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent, U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, Canadian Agent or Canadian Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any
other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or issuers of Letters of Credit. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of
this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Additionally, after any retiring Agent’s resignation as such Agent, the
provisions of this subsection 10.10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was such Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After the resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant
to the preceding provisions of this subsection 10.10, the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to act as Issuing Lender for any Letters of Credit to be issued after the date of such resignation and (y) shall not be
required to act as Swing Line Lender with respect to Swing Line Loans to be made after the date of such resignation (and all outstanding Swing Line Loans of such resigning Administrative Agent shall be required to be repaid in full upon its
resignation), although the resigning Administrative Agent shall retain all rights hereunder as Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it, and all Swing Line Loans made by it, prior to the effectiveness
of its resignation as Administrative Agent hereunder. After the resignation of the Canadian Agent pursuant to the preceding provisions of this subsection 10.10, the resigning Canadian Agent shall not be required to act as Issuing Lender for any
Letters of Credit to be issued after the date of such resignation, although the resigning Canadian Agent shall retain all rights hereunder as Issuing Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the effectiveness of its
resignation as Canadian Agent hereunder. 
 10.11      Other Representatives.  None of the
entities identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the definition of Other Representative contained herein shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such.

 10.12      Swing Line Lender.  The provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to the
Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent. 
 10.13      Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount
equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent did not properly withhold tax from
amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent of a change in
circumstance that rendered an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable (to the extent that the Administrative Agent or
Canadian Agent, as applicable, has not already been reimbursed by the Parent Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Parent Borrower to do so), for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent
as tax or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses.

 10.14      Approved Electronic Communications.  Each of
the Lenders and the Loan Parties agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender by posting such Approved Electronic Communications
on IntraLinksTM or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). The Approved Electronic Communications and the
Approved Electronic Platform are provided (subject to subsection 11.16) “as is” and “as available.” 
 Each of the
Lenders and (subject to subsection 11.16) each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic
Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or Canadian Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies. 
 10.15      Appointment of Borrower Representatives.  Each U.S. Borrower hereby designates the Parent
Borrower as its U.S. Borrower Representative and each Canadian Borrower hereby designates the Parent Borrower as its Canadian Borrower Representative. The U.S. Borrower Representative will be acting as agent on each of the U.S. Borrowers, behalf and
the Canadian Borrower Representative will be acting as agent on each of the Canadian Borrowers, behalf for the purposes of issuing notices of Borrowing and notices of conversion/continuation of any Loans pursuant to subsection 4.2 or similar
notices, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or the Borrowers under the Loan Documents. Each of the U.S. Borrower Representative and the Canadian Borrower Representative hereby
accepts such appointment. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the U.S. Borrower Representative or the Canadian Borrower Representative, as the case
may be, shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower. 
 10.16      Reports.  By signing this Agreement, each Lender: 
 (a)          is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such
Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all financial statements required to be delivered by the Parent Borrower hereunder and all field examinations, audits and appraisals of the Collateral received by the Agents (collectively, the
“Reports”); 
 (b)          expressly agrees and
acknowledges that the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Reports, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; 
 (c)          expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive
audits or examinations and that the Administrative Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and
records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel; 
 (d)          agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute, except to its participants, or use any Report in any other manner; and

  

 -140- 

 (e)          without limiting the
generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees (i) to hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the
indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any Loans or Letters of Credit that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Parent Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying
Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans of the Parent Borrower; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims,
actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including attorney costs) incurred by the Agents and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of
any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent agree, as among such parties, as follows: subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Liquidity Event or an Event of Default, (A) all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender under any U.S. Security Documents on account of amounts
then due and outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall be applied as follows: first, to pay interest on and then principal of Agent Advances then outstanding, second, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses

such amounts shall be held by the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse the applicable U.S. Facility Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit or to
reimburse any applicable Canadian Revolving Lender upon the maturity of such Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit and maturity of all Bankers’ Acceptances, to all

allocated pro rata among the Lenders and Issuing Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages and (B) all amounts collected or received by the Canadian Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Canadian
Facility Lender

 SECTION
11        MISCELLANEOUS.

or forgive the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation hereunder or of any scheduled installment thereof or reduce the stated rate of any interest, commission or fee payable hereunder (other than

of Default or the making of any Agent Advance or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of
any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender); 
  

 -142- 

   (ii)       amend, modify or waive any
provision of this subsection 11.1(a) or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders,” or consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than pursuant to subsection 8.3 or 11.6(a)), in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders; 
   (iii)      release any Guarantor under any Security Document, or, in the aggregate (in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions), all or substantially all of the Collateral without the consent of all of the Lenders, except as expressly permitted hereby or by any Security Document (as such documents are in effect on the date

   (iv)      require any Lender to make Revolving Credit Loans having an Interest Period of longer than six months without the consent of such Lender; 
   (v)       amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written
consent of the then Agents and of any Other Representative affected thereby; 
   (vi)      reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders” without the written consent of all the Lenders;

Event,” or increase the maximum amount of permitted Agent Advances under subsection 2.1(d) (which, when aggregated with all other Extensions of Credit made hereunder, shall under no circumstance exceed the Commitments) in each case, without the
written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; 
 provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and/or the
Canadian Collateral Agent may collectively, in their discretion, release the Lien on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $10.0 million in any fiscal year without the consent of any Lender. 
   (b)        Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this subsection 11.1
shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans and the Revolving Commitments. In the case of any waiver, each of the Loan Parties, the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall

“Permitted Liens” (or any related definitions), is amended or the applicability thereof waived and (B) the agents or lenders under the Cash Flow Facility are paid fees in respect of any such amendment or waiver, then no such amendment
or waiver shall be binding upon the parties to this Agreement (and each reference to such amended or waived section to the Cash Flow Credit Agreement hereunder shall read as if such amendment or waiver had not been executed) unless and until a
proportionate fee (based on the relative aggregate principal amounts of the loans, letters of credit and commitments outstanding under the Cash Flow Facility, on the one hand, and the Loans, Letters of Credit, Agent Advances and Commitments
outstanding hereunder, on the other hand and assuming that each Lender under the Cash Flow Facility consented to such amendment or waiver) is paid to the Administrative Agent or Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Lenders
hereunder. 
   (d)        Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this
Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit
the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the existing Facilities and the accrued
interest and fees in respect thereof, (y) to include, as appropriate, the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Facility hereunder and (z) to provide class
protection for any additional credit facilities in a manner consistent with those provided the original Facilities pursuant to the provisions of subsection 11.1(a) as originally in effect. 
  

 -144- 

   (e)        Notwithstanding any provision herein to
the contrary, any Security Document may be amended (or amended and restated), restated, waived, supplemented or modified as contemplated by subsection 11.17 with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Loan Party thereto. 

  (f)        If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to
any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as contemplated by subsection 11.1(a), the consent of each Lender, the Supermajority Lenders or each affected Lender, as applicable, is required and the consent of the Required
Lenders at such time is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower Representative may, on prior
written notice to the Administrative and the Non-Consenting Lender, replace such Non-Consenting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to subsection 11.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs
and expenses to be paid by the Parent Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the
Parent Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and
provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently
with such Assignment and Acceptance. In connection with any such replacement under this subsection 11.1(f), if the Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any
other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance
and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Parent Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender,
then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and each Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such
Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender. 
 11.2        Notices. 
   (a)        All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided

harmless from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including Environmental Costs), expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans, Letters of Credit or the
violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law attributable to the operations of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any property or facility owned, leased or operated by the Parent Borrower or any of its

“Indemnified Liabilities”) and (e) to pay reasonable and documented fees for appraisals and field examinations required by subsection 7.6(b) and the preparation of Reports related thereto in each calendar year based on the fees
charged by third parties retained by the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any reference to “out-of-pocket” above in this subsection 11.5); provided that any Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative
Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Other Representative or any Lender (or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, attorneys and other advisors, agents and
controlling persons with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a 

  

 -148- 

 
final non-appealable decision, or by settlement tantamount thereto) of the Administrative Agent, any such other Agent, any LC Facility Issuing Lender, any
such Other Representative or any such Lender (or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, agents, attorneys and other advisors, successors and controlling persons), and
(ii) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Other Representative or any such Lender by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights
afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. All
amounts due under this subsection shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements reflecting amounts payable by the Loan Parties pursuant to this subsection 11.5 shall be submitted to the address of the Borrowers
set forth in subsection 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Parent Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in clauses (b) and (c) above
and in Section 4, the Borrowers shall have no obligation under this subsection 11.5 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Taxes imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. The agreements in this subsection
shall survive repayment of the Loans, the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 11.6        Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 
   (a)        The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than in accordance with subsection 8.3, the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this subsection 11.6. 
   (b)        (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in
paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable law, assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments and/or Loans, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A)        the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further,
that if any Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its affiliates in connection with or in contemplation of the sale or other disposition of its interest in such affiliate, the Parent
Borrower’s prior written consent shall be required for such assignment; and 
 (B)        the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii)        Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A)       except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans,
as the case may be, the amount of Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be 

  

 -149- 

 
less than $5.0 million unless the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent
Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
 (B)        the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that for concurrent assignments to two or more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid once in respect of and at the
time of such assignments; 
 (C)        the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; and 
 (D)        any assignment made by a Canadian Facility Lender of its Canadian Facility Commitment shall only be made to a Person or group of Persons that qualifies as a Canadian Facility Lender.

 For the purposes of this subsection 11.6, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: any Person (other than a
natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or
(c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii)      Subject to
acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits
of (and bound by any related obligations under) subsections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 11.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 11.6 shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this subsection. 
 (iv)        The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this
subsection 11.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and interest and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrowers, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v)        Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the 

  

 -150- 

 
Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection and any written
consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment
and recordation to the Borrower Representative. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (vi)      On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this subsection 11.6(b), the assigning Lender
shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative marked “cancelled.”

 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 11.6(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Parent Borrower shall
have consented thereto in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an electronic settlement system
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in
its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be subject
to the prior written approval of the Parent Borrower and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this subsection 11.6(b). Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection
with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service. If so elected by each of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower in writing (it being understood that the Parent Borrower shall have no obligation to
make such an election), the Administrative Agent’s and the Parent Borrower’s approval of such Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and
assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Parent Borrower may withdraw its consent to the
use of the Settlement Service at any time upon at least 10 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set
forth herein. 
 Furthermore, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this subsection 11.6(b) would be entitled
to receive any greater payment under subsection 4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater
payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing or the Parent Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such
assignment. 
 (c)        (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of
its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and (D) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and 

  

 -151- 

 
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of subsection
11.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, the Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) subsections
4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 11.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of subsection 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to subsection 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii)        No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any
participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower and the Parent Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. No Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of subsection 4.11 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with subsections 4.11(b) and/or (c) or to provide the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation and such
failure increases the obligation of the Borrowers under subsection 4.11. 
 (iii)        Subject to
paragraph (c)(ii), any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may also sell participations on terms other than the terms set forth in paragraph (c)(i) above, provided such participations are on terms and to Participants satisfactory to the Parent
Borrower and the Parent Borrower has consented to such terms and Participants in writing. 
   (d)      Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this subsection 11.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
   (e)      No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be
effective without the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower if it would require the Parent Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Parent Borrower
shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or
participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law. 
   (f)      Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Revolving Credit Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set
forth in subsection 11.6(b). Each Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day 

  

 -152- 

 
after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender
designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such
period of forbearance. Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this subsection 11.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Parent
Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification
obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this subsection 11.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Parent Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by
the Parent Borrower, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void. 
   (g)        If the Parent Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the
Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans or
Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with subsection 11.1 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to subsection 11.1(d)). Pursuant to any
such assignment, all Loans to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or prepaid by the
Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to subsection 4.12. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders, as applicable, shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the
Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph
are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement. 
 11.7        Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations. 
   (a)        If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by a U.S. Facility Issuing Lender owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings
of the nature referred to in subsection 9(f), or otherwise) (except pursuant to subsection 4.4, 4.13(d) or 11.6), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender’s U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by a U.S. Facility Issuing Lender owing to it, as the case may be, owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender
shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s U.S. Facility Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of
Credit issued by a U.S. Facility Issuing Lender, as the case may be, owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share
the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such
purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. If any Lender (a “Canadian Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or 

  

 -153- 

 
part of the Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by a Canadian Facility Issuing
Lender owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 9(f), or otherwise) (except pursuant
to subsection 4.4, 4.13(d) or 11.6), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by a Canadian Facility Issuing Lender owing to it, as the case may be, owing to it, or interest thereon, such Canadian Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the Canadian Facility Lenders an
interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such Canadian Facility Lender’s Canadian Facility Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by a Canadian Facility
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, owing to it, or shall provide such Canadian Facility Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Canadian Benefited Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Canadian Facility Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Canadian
Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest 
   (b)        In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such
notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) to set-off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due and payable under subsection
9(a) by any Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent after
any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
 11.8        Judgment. 
   (a)        If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such
other currency being hereinafter in this subsection 11.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document 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 the Province of Ontario or in the courts of any
other 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 subsection 11.8 being hereinafter in this subsection 11.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”). 
   (b)        If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in subsection 11.8(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 Loan Party 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 

  

 -154- 

 
judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this subsection 11.8(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 Loan Documents. 
   (c)        The term “rate of exchange” in this subsection 11.8 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or
about 12:00 Noon (New York City time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency. 
 11.9        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be
delivered to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent. 
 11.10      Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

11.11      Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of
each of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Agents, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the
Agents, the Issuing Lender or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
 11.12      GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR
PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. 
 11.13      Submission to Jurisdiction;
Waivers.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a)          submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any
thereof; 
 (b)          consents that any such action or proceeding may be
brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim
the same; 
  

 -155- 

 (c)          agrees that service of
process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the applicable Borrowers (or, in the case of a Canadian Borrower, as
specified in paragraph 9b)), the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at the address specified in subsection 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent, any such Lender and any such Borrower shall
have been notified pursuant thereto; 
 (d)          agrees that nothing
herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; 
 (e)          waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this
subsection any consequential or punitive damages; 
 (f)          each Canadian Borrower hereby agrees to irrevocably and unconditionally appoint an agent for service of process located in The City of New York (the “New York Process
Agent”), reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as its agent to receive on behalf of such Canadian Borrower and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any
action or proceeding in any such New York State or Federal court described in paragraph (a) of this subsection 11.13(f) and agrees promptly to appoint a successor New York Process Agent in The City of New York (which successor New York Process
Agent shall accept such appointment in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) prior to the termination for any reason of the appointment of the initial New York Process Agent. CT Corporation, a WoltersKluwer Company, located
at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10011, telephone: 212-590-9310,
facsimile: 212-590-9190, has been appointed as the initial New York Process Agent. In any action or proceeding in New York State or Federal court, service may be made on a Canadian Borrower by delivering a copy of such process to such Canadian
Borrower in care of the New York Process Agent at the New York Process Agent’s address and by depositing a copy of such process in the mails by certified or registered air mail, addressed to such Canadian Borrower at its address specified in
subsection 11.2 with (if applicable) a copy to the Parent Borrower (such service to be effective upon such receipt by the New York Process Agent and the depositing of such process in the mails as aforesaid). Each Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally authorizes and directs the New York Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternate method of service, each Canadian Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of any and all process in
any such action or proceeding in such New York State or Federal court by mailing of copies of such process to such Canadian Borrower by certified or registered air mail at its address specified in subsection 11.2. Each Canadian Borrower agrees that,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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; and 
 (g)          to the extent that a Canadian Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment,
execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and any Note.

solely that of creditor and debtor; and 
 (c)            no

   (a)          Each Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Other Representative and each Lender agrees to keep confidential any information (x) provided to it by or on behalf of
Holding or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with the Loan Documents or (y) obtained by such Lender based on a review of the books and records of Holding or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that nothing herein shall

agreement)), (iii) to its affiliates and the employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors of it and its affiliates, provided that such Lender shall inform each such Person of the
agreement under this subsection 11.16 and take reasonable actions to cause compliance by any such Person referred to in this clause (iii) with this agreement (including, where appropriate, to cause any such Person to acknowledge its agreement
to be bound by the agreement under this subsection 11.16), (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender or its affiliates or to the extent required in response to any order of any court or

having jurisdiction over such Lender or its affiliates (to the extent applicable), (viii) in connection with any litigation to which such Lender (or,
with respect to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement related to the Transaction Documents, any affiliate of any Lender party thereto) may be a party, subject to the proviso in clause (iv), and (ix) if, prior to such information having been so
provided or obtained, such information was already in an Agent’s, Issuing Lender’s, Other Representative’s or a Lender’s possession on a non-confidential basis without a duty of confidentiality to Holding or the Parent Borrower
(or any of their respective Affiliates) being violated. 
   (b)          Each
Lender acknowledges that any such information referred to in subsection 11.16(a), and any information (including requests for waivers and amendments) furnished by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, may include material non-public information concerning the Parent Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates or their respective securities. Each Lender represents and confirms that such
Lender has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; that such Lender will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including United States

applicable law.

incurrence by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof of Additional Indebtedness, each of the Administrative Agent, the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent, the Canadian Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent agree to execute and deliver any amendments,
amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Security Document (including, but not limited to, any Mortgages), and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection
therewith, as may be reasonably deemed by the Parent Borrower to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on the assets of any Loan Party permitted to secure such Additional Indebtedness to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority
as may be designated by the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) pursuant to the Security Document being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise
modified or otherwise. 
 11.18        USA Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender hereby
notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. Law 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information
that identifies each Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor, which information includes the name of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor in
accordance with the Patriot Act, and each Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender. 
 11.19        Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Capital Stock in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the U.S. or Canada.  To the extent any Security Document
requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or Capital Stock in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States or Canada, it is acknowledged that, as of the Closing Date, no actions have been
required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose Capital Stock is pledged, under the Security Documents. 
 The Parent Borrower hereby agrees that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to do so, the Parent Borrower shall, and shall cause its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, take (to the extent they may lawfully do so) such actions (including the making of any filings and the delivery of 

  

 -158- 

 
appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are reasonably
determined by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such
jurisdictions. 
 11.20        Joint and Several Liability; Postponement of Subrogation.

   (a)          The obligations of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents shall be joint and several and, as such, each U.S. Borrower shall be liable for all of the such obligations of the other U.S. Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of a Canadian Borrower
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several and, as such, each Canadian Borrower shall be liable for all of such obligations of the other Canadian Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. To the fullest
extent permitted by law the liability of each Borrower for the obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of the other applicable Borrowers with whom it has joint and several liability shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the obligations hereunder or thereunder or any other collateral security therefore or guarantee or right of offset with
respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any applicable Secured Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder; provided that no Borrower hereby waives any suit
for breach of a contractual provision of any of the Loan Documents) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by such other applicable Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever
(with or without notice to or knowledge of such other applicable Borrower or such Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such other applicable Borrower for the obligations hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or of such Borrower under this subsection 11.20, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. 
     (b)          Each Borrower agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Agreement, by any payments made
hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the permanent termination of all Commitments. Any
amount paid to any Borrower on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the
permanent termination of all Commitments shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties and shall immediately be paid to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the applicable
Secured Parties and credited and applied against the obligations of the applicable Borrowers, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Agent, as applicable, shall elect. In furtherance of the foregoing,
for so long as any obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, any Letters of Credit or any Commitments remain outstanding, each Borrower shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against any other Borrower (or any of its
successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made in respect of the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document of such other Borrower to any Secured
Party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if a “secured creditor” (as that term is defined under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)) 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 the Borrowers’ Obligations (and the obligations of their Subsidiaries), to the extent such obligations are secured, only
shall be several obligations and not joint or joint and several obligations.
