directly or through Affiliates) to lend to the Borrower in the currencies required for a Lender in its designated Class. To the
extent that any U.S. Revolving Lender becomes able to lend to the Borrower in Canadian Dollars, such U.S. Revolving Lender may
elect to have its U.S. Revolving Commitment converted to a Multicurrency Revolving Commitment upon no less than thirty (30) days’
prior written notice to the Agents and the Borrower, which written notice shall contain a certification to this effect by the applicable
U.S. Revolving Lender. The Agents and the Borrower shall determine the effective date of any reallocation (the “Reallocation
Effective Date”) and the Agents are hereby authorized to revise Schedule 2.01 to reflect such reallocation. The
Agents shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any reallocation and the Reallocation Effective Date. In addition,
in connection with any reallocation, the Borrower shall, after taking into account such reallocation, prepay any Committed Loans
and Cash Collateralize any Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes outstanding on the Reallocation Effective Date to
the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes ratable following
such reallocation, provided that in the event that the Reallocation Effective Date is a day other than the last day of each
applicable Interest Period, the applicable Lenders have waived any additional amounts otherwise required to be paid by the Borrower
under Article III.

 

2.02         Borrowings,
Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

 

(a)          Each
Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Agents, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that
any telephone notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Agents of a Loan Notice. Each such Loan Notice must be received
by the Agents (i) not later than 1:00 p.m. not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or of any conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) not later
than (x) 1:00 p.m. not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (y) 10:30
a.m. not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Each Borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of U.S.$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of U.S.$1,000,000
in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), (x) each Borrowing of or conversion to
Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of U.S.$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of U.S.$100,000 in excess thereof, and (y)
each Borrowing of or conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of C$1,000,000 or a whole multiple
of C$100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a
Committed Borrowing, a Term Loan Borrowing, any other Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation
of LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a
Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued and the currency applicable thereto,
(iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the
Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails
to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base
Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then
in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation
of LIBOR Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fail to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest
Period of one (1) month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a LIBOR
Rate Loan, and (y) no Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be
repaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

 

    	46

     

    

 

(b)          Following
receipt of a Loan Notice, the applicable Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its ratable share under the applicable
Facility, of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the applicable
Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection.
In the case of a Term Loan Borrowing, a Committed Borrowing or any other Borrowing (as applicable), each applicable Lender shall
make the amount of its Loan available to the applicable Agent in immediately available funds of the requested currency at the Global
Agent’s Office or the U.S. Agent’s Office, as applicable, not later than (i) in the case of any Committed Borrowing,
1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice or (ii) in the case of any Term Loan Borrowing, not later
than 10:00 a.m. on the Closing Date (or such later time as may be agreed by the Agents). Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Agents shall
make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Agents either by (i) crediting the account
of the Borrower on the books of the applicable Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each
case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Agents by the Borrower; provided, however,
that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Committed Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings
outstanding denominated in the same currency, then the proceeds of such Committed Borrowing first, shall be applied, to
the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

 

(c)          Except
as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
LIBOR Rate Loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted
to or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

 

(d)          The
applicable Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
LIBOR Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans and/or Canadian Prime Rate Loans are
outstanding, the applicable Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the applicable Agent’s prime
rate used in determining the Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

 

(e)          After
giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same
Type, unless the Agents otherwise consent, there shall not be more than fifteen (15) Interest Periods in effect with respect to
all Loans.

 

    	47

     

    

 

(f)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or any portion of its Loans in connection
with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to
a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Agents, and such Lender; provided that, for the avoidance
of doubt, this provision shall not apply to initial funding on the Closing Date.

 

2.03         Letters
of Credit.

 

(a)           The
Letter of Credit Commitment.

 

(i)          Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Multicurrency
Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing
Date until the L/C Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, including IRB LOCs,
for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance
with subsection (b) below and otherwise subject to compliance with this Section 2.03, and (2) to honor drawings properly
drawn under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in all Letters of
Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving
effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w)
the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (x) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings
shall not exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments, (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Multicurrency Revolving
Lender shall not exceed such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving
Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and, in addition,
with respect to the applicable L/C Issuer, the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit
issued by such L/C Issuer shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit applicable to such L/C Issuer. Each request by the Borrower
for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit
Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits,
and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving,
and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have
expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. This Agreement shall be the “Reimbursement Agreement” referred
to in the IRB LOCs. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the
Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof and the issuer of each Existing Letter of Credit
shall be deemed to be an L/C Issuer hereunder solely for purposes of such Existing Letter of Credit.

 

    	48

     

    

 

(ii)         No
L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit, if:

 

(A)         subject
to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit (other than IRB LOCs) would occur more than
twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless Multicurrency Revolving Lenders holding in excess of fifty
percent (50%) of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments have approved such expiry date; or

 

(B)          the
expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the L/C Expiration Date, unless Multicurrency Revolving Lenders
holding in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Multicurrency
Revolving Commitments and the L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date (it being agreed (x) that following the L/C Expiration
Date, any outstanding Letter of Credit would be required to be Cash Collateralized by the Borrower in accordance with Section
2.18 and (y) any Letter of Credit which is issued with an expiry date which would occur after the L/C Expiration Date shall
be Cash Collateralized by the Borrower on the date that is seven (7) days prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with Section
2.18). The Cash Collateral obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall survive until the payment in full of all Obligations,
including Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

 

(iii)        No
L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

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

 

(B)         the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

 

(C)         except
as otherwise agreed by the applicable Agent and such L/C Issuer, such requested Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount
less than U.S.$100,000 in the case of U.S. Dollar Letters of Credit and C$100,000 in the case of Canadian Dollar Letters of Credit;

 

(D)         such
requested Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars; or

 

    	49

     

    

 

(E)          any
Multicurrency Revolving Lender participating in such requested Letter of Credit is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such
L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole
discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure
(after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit
then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential
Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

 

(iv)        No
L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit
in its amended form under the terms hereof.

 

(v)         No
L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such
time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

 

(vi)        Each
L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the
documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agents in
Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit
issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “the
Agents” as used in Article IX included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally
provided herein with respect to an L/C Issuer.

 

(b)           Procedures
for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit; Auto-Reinstatement Letters of Credit.

 

(i)          Each
Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C
Issuer (with a copy to the Agents) in the form of a L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer
of the Borrower (or through such other procedures as may otherwise be approved by the applicable L/C Issuer and the applicable
Agent, including electronic communications in accordance with Section 11.02(b)). Such applicable L/C Application (other
than for IRB LOCs) must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Agents not later than 1:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business
Days (or such later date and time as the Agents and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole
discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, and the timing of submission of the L/C
Application with respect to an IRB LOC shall be as determined by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower. In the case of a request
for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, the related applicable L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably
satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business
Day); (B) the amount and denominating currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary
thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate
to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit;
and (H) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding
Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (w)
the Letter of Credit to be amended; (x) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (y) the nature
of the proposed amendment; and (z) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower
shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Agents such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter
of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Agents may require.

 

    	50

     

    

 

(ii)         Promptly
after receipt of any L/C Application at the address set forth in Section 11.02 for receiving L/C Applications and related
correspondence, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the applicable Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the applicable
Agent received a copy of such L/C Application from the Borrower and, if not, the applicable L/C Issuer will provide the applicable
Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Multicurrency Revolving Lender, the Agents
or the Borrower, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of
Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date (which, in the case of an IRB LOC, shall be a date satisfactory
to such L/C Issuer), issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the
applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such applicable L/C Issuer’s usual and customary
business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be deemed
to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such
Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Commitment
Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 

(iii)        If
the Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”);
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once
in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period
to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall
not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has
been issued, the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such L/C Issuer to permit
the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time prior to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided,
however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not
be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under
the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or
(B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before
the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the applicable Agent that Multicurrency Revolving Lenders holding in excess of fifty percent
(50%) of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the applicable Agent, any
Multicurrency Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is
not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

 

    	51

     

    

 

(iv)        If
the Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
agree to issue an IRB LOC that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing
thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the
Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement
Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders shall be deemed
to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in
accordance with the provisions of such IRB LOC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits
the applicable L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by
giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”),
such L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or
before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the applicable Agent that Multicurrency
Revolving Lenders holding in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments have elected not to permit
such reinstatement or (B) from the applicable Agent, any Multicurrency Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied or that such reinstatement would violate the proviso
to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a)(i) (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this
clause) and, in each case, directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

 

(v)         Promptly
after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to
the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Agents a true and complete copy of
such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(c)           Drawings
and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

 

(i)          Upon
receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C
Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Agents thereof. Not later than 12:00 Noon on the date of any payment by the applicable
L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (or, with respect to any IRB LOC, the time set forth therein) (each such date, an “Honor
Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the applicable Agent in an amount equal to the
amount of such drawing; provided, that if any payment is made by such L/C Issuer after 12:00 Noon (or, with respect to any
IRB LOC, the time set forth therein) on an Honor Date, such reimbursement shall occur not later than 12:00 Noon (or, with respect
to any IRB LOC, the time set forth therein) on the first Business Day occurring after such Honor Date. If the Borrower fails to
so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the applicable Agent shall promptly notify each Multicurrency Revolving Lender
of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such
Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor
Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount in the applicable currency, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified
in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the
unutilized portion of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders and the conditions set forth
in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice), and, subject to Section 2.03(c)(iii), the Borrower’s
failure to have reimbursed the applicable L/C Issuer on the Honor Date shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement provided
that such Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans is deemed to be disbursed and that the making of
such Loan is otherwise permitted by this Agreement. Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or either Agent pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such
an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

 

    	52

     

    

 

(ii)         Each
Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the applicable
Agent (and the Agents may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer in the
applicable currency at the Global Agent’s Office or U.S. Agent’s Office, as applicable, for payments denominated in
such currency in an amount equal to its ratable share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified
in such notice by the applicable Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Multicurrency
Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Committed
Loan, as applicable, to the Borrower in such amount. The applicable Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C
Issuer in the applicable currency.

 

(iii)        With
respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate
Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so
refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate. In such event, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s payment to the applicable Agent for the account of the applicable
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing
and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Multicurrency Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under
this Section 2.03.

 

(iv)        Until
each Multicurrency Revolving Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse
the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Multicurrency Revolving
Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

 

    	53

     

    

 

(v)         Each
Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer
for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Multicurrency Revolving Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s obligation
to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other
than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(vi)        If
any Multicurrency Revolving Lender fails to make available to the applicable Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer
any amount required to be paid by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c)
by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer
shall be entitled to recover from such Multicurrency Revolving Lender (acting through the applicable Agent), on demand, such amount
with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Multicurrency Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest
and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (other than interest and fees as aforesaid) shall constitute such Multicurrency Revolving
Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing,
as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Multicurrency Revolving Lender (through the applicable
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           Repayment
of Participations.

 

(i)          At
any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Multicurrency
Revolving Lender such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section
2.03(c), if the applicable Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed
Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto
by such Agent), such Agent will distribute to such Multicurrency Revolving Lender its Multicurrency Revolving Commitment Percentage
thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Multicurrency
Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by such Agent.

 

    	54

     

    

 

(ii)         If
any payment received by an Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required
to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into
by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall pay to the applicable Agent for the account of
such L/C Issuer its Multicurrency Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of such Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal
to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders under this clause
shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)           Obligations
Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse each L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by
such L/C Issuer and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

 

(i)          any
lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

 

(ii)         the
existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against
any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby
or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

(iii)        any
draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission
or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

 

(iv)        waiver
by the applicable L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for such L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the
Borrower or any waiver by the applicable L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

 

(v)         honor
of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

 

(vi)        any
payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration
date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized
by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

 

(vii)       any
payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to
any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver
or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

 

    	55

     

    

 

(viii)      any
other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy
of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with
the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower
shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such
notice is given as aforesaid.

 

(f)           Role
of L/C Issuer. Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender and the Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit,
no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly
required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority
of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of any L/C Issuer, the Agents, any of their respective Related Parties
nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Multicurrency Revolving Lender for (i)
any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Multicurrency Revolving Lenders holding
in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments (or of the Total Multicurrency Revolving
Outstandings if the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments have been terminated); (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction);
or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit
or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect
to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude
the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any
other agreement. None of any L/C Issuer, the Agents, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant
or assignee of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii)
of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and the applicable L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which
the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly
complying with any terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer
may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder
or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Each L/C Issuer may send
a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication
(“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

 

    	56

     

    

 

(g)           Applicability
of ISP or UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when
a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall
apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no L/C Issuer shall be responsible to the Borrower for,
and no L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of the applicable
L/C Issuer required or permitted under any Law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located,
the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary
of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA),
or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

 

(h)           L/C
Fee. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.03(h), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents for the account
of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender in accordance with its Multicurrency Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit,
a fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit (or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of Canadian Dollar Letters of Credit) (the “L/C Fee”),
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.19(a)(iii)(C)(z). For purposes of computing the daily amount available to
be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.
The L/C Fee shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the
end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter
of Credit, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter,
the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately
for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, upon the request of Multicurrency Revolving Lenders holding in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate
Multicurrency Revolving Commitments (or of the Total Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings if the Multicurrency Revolving
Commitments have been terminated), while any Event of Default exists, the L/C Fees for such Letter of Credit shall accrue at the
Default Rate. The L/C Fee for any Letter of Credit shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars regardless of the currency of the Letter
of Credit to which it relates.

 

    	57

     

    

 

(i)            Fronting
Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.03(i),
the Borrower agrees to pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account, in U.S. Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each
Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer equal to a rate of 0.15% per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under
such Letter of Credit (or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of Canadian Dollar Letters of Credit) (the “Fronting
Fee”). The Fronting Fee shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears, and (ii) due and payable on the first
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount
available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section
1.06. In addition, unless otherwise agreed with the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer
for its own account, in U.S. Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard
costs and charges, of the applicable L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees
and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. The Fronting Fee for any Letter of Credit shall
be denominated in U.S. Dollars or, if otherwise agreed in writing by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower, in the same currency
as the Letter of Credit to which it relates.

 

(j)            Conflict
with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Documents, the terms
hereof shall control. Any amendment of the Fronting Fee in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed an amendment of such
Fronting Fee for all purposes and supersede all prior agreements of the parties.

 

(k)           Action
Taken by Multicurrency Revolving Lenders. Subject to the last sentence of the second proviso to Section 11.01 and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.03, the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments of, or the portion of the
Total Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings held or deemed held by, any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for purposes of determining
the percentage of Multicurrency Revolving Lenders taking or approving any action under this Section 2.03 and such matters
shall be determined as though such Defaulting Lenders’ Multicurrency Revolving Commitments and portion of the Total Multicurrency
Revolving Outstandings held by such Defaulting Lenders did not exist.

 

(l)            Letters
of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of
any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable
L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of
Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business
derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

2.04         Swing
Line Loans.

 

(a)           The
Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements
of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, at the
election of the Borrower (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business
Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the ratable share of the Outstanding Amount of Committed
Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes and L/C Obligations of the Revolving Lender acting as Swing Line Lender,
may exceed the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that (x) after giving
effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment (other than that of
the Swing Line Lender as set forth above), (y) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any
outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it
shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension
may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each U.S.
Dollar Swing Line Loan shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.09(a)(iv)
regarding the interest rate applicable to such Swing Line Loan. Each Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan shall be a Canadian Prime
Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of any U.S. Dollar Swing Line Loan, each U.S. Revolving Lender and Multicurrency Revolving
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation
in such U.S. Dollar Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Global U.S. Dollar Funding
Percentage times the amount of such U.S. Dollar Swing Line Loan; provided, that to the extent that the ratable participation
by the U.S. Revolving Lenders and the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders in any U.S. Dollar Swing Line Loan would cause the Revolving
Credit Exposure of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders to exceed the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders’ aggregate Revolving
Commitments, the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders shall participate ratably in such U.S. Dollar Swing Line Loan solely to the extent
of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders’ aggregate Revolving Commitments and, thereafter, participation in such U.S. Dollar
Swing Line Loan shall be divided ratably among the U.S. Revolving Lenders based upon their U.S. Revolving Commitment Percentages.
Immediately upon the making of any Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Canadian Dollar
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Commitment
Percentage times the amount of such Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan. The Borrower promises to pay to the Swing Line Lender all amounts
due under the Swing Line Loans in accordance with Section 2.08(c) or such earlier date as required hereunder.

 

    	59

     

    

 

(b)          Borrowing
Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and
the Agents, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Agents of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received
by the Swing Line Lender and the Agents not later than 2:30 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount
to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of U.S.$500,000 in the case of U.S. Dollar Swing Line Loans and C$100,000 in the case
of Swing Line Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, (ii) the requested currency, and (iii) the requested borrowing date, which
shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will
confirm with the Agents (by telephone or in writing) that the Agents have also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not,
the Swing Line Lender will notify the Agents (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender
has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Agents (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 3:30
p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing of U.S. Dollar Swing Line Loans or prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the
proposed Swing Line Borrowing of Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line
Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make
the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books
of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the Revolving
Lenders agree that the Swing Line Lender may, in consultation with the Borrower, agree to modify the borrowing procedures used
in connection with the Swing Line in its discretion and without affecting any of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders.

 

(c)          Refinancing
of Swing Line Loans.

 

(i)          The
Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan (in the
case of U.S. Dollar Swing Line Loans) or that each Multicurrency Revolving Lender make a Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loan (in
the case of Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans), as applicable, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s ratable share
of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed
to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard
to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR
Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.
The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering
such notice to the Agents. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its ratable share of the amount specified in such
Committed Loan Notice available to the applicable Agent in immediately available funds in the requested currency for the account
of the Swing Line Lender at the Global Agent’s Office or the U.S. Agent’s Office, as applicable, not later than 1:00
p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender
that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Committed Loan, as
applicable, to the Borrower in such amount. The applicable Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

    	60

     

    

 

(ii)         If
for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i),
the request for Committed Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing
Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s
payment to the applicable Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.

 

(iii)        If
any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the applicable Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required
to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the applicable
Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which
such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus
any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If
such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (other than interest and fees as aforesaid)
shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation
in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through
the applicable Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv)        Each
Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant
to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A)
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender,
the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence,
event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s
obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(d)          Repayment
of Participations.

 

(i)          At
any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender
receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its ratable
share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Revolving Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

 

    	61

     

    

 

(ii)         If
any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned
by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its ratable
share thereof on demand of the applicable Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The applicable Agent will make such demand upon the request of the
Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations
and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)          Interest
for Account of the Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on
the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04
to refinance such Revolving Lender’s ratable share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of its ratable share shall
be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(f)          Payments
Directly to the Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line
Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 

2.05        Bankers’
Acceptances.

 

(a)          Acceptances
and Drafts. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender severally agrees, on
any Business Day during the Availability Period (i) in the case of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender that is willing and able
to accept Drafts (a “BA Lender”), to create bankers’ acceptances (“Bankers’ Acceptances”)
by accepting Drafts and to purchase such Bankers’ Acceptances in accordance with Section 2.05(c); and (ii) in the
case of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender that is unwilling or unable to accept Drafts (a “Non BA Lender”),
to purchase non-interest bearing promissory notes (in form and substance acceptable to the Borrower and such Multicurrency Revolving
Lender) (each, a “BA Equivalent Note”) in accordance with Section 2.05(c); provided, however,
that after giving effect to any Drawing, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii)
the Total Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments, and (iii) the
Revolving Credit Exposure of any Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency
Revolving Commitment (other than as described in Section 2.04 with respect to the Swing Line Lender).

 

(b)          Form
of Drafts. Each Draft presented by the Borrower to the Global Agent shall (i) be in a minimum amount of C$1,000,000 and in
integral multiples of C$100,000 thereafter, provided that the Global Agent may, in its sole discretion, increase or decrease
any Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s portion of such Draft to the nearest C$1,000; (ii) be dated the date of the Drawing;
and (iii) have a Contract Maturity Date and be payable by the Borrower (in common with all other Drafts presented in connection
with such Drawing) on a Business Day which occurs, at the election of the Borrower, approximately one, two, three or six months
after the Drawing Date (or such other date as agreed to by the participating Lenders) and on or prior to the Maturity Date (such
date being the “Contract Maturity Date”). The Borrower shall select the Contract Maturity Dates of Drafts so
there shall be no more than ten (10) separate Contract Maturity Dates in existence at any time. Each Drawing shall consist of the
creation and purchase of Bankers’ Acceptances, or the purchase of BA Equivalent Notes, on the same day, in each case for
the Drawing Price, by the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders in accordance with Section 2.05(c) and their respective Multicurrency
Revolving Commitment Percentages. If the Global Agent determines that the Bankers’ Acceptances to be created and purchased
or the BA Equivalent Notes to be purchased in connection with any Drawing (upon a conversion or otherwise) will not be created
and purchased ratably by the Applicable Revolving Lenders in accordance with Sections 2.05(a) and 2.05(c), then the
requested Face Amount of Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes shall be reduced to such lesser amount as the Global
Agent determines will permit ratable sharing and the amount by which the requested Face Amount shall have been so reduced shall
be converted or continued, as the case may be, as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan to be made contemporaneously with the Drawing. The
Borrower will ensure that there is delivered to each applicable BA Lender that is a member of a clearing service, and such BA Lender
is hereby authorized to release, the Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by it to such clearing service upon receipt of confirmation
that such clearing service holds such Bankers’ Acceptance for the account of such BA Lender.

(c)           Procedure
for Drawing.

 

(i)            Each
Drawing shall be made on the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Global Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such
notice must be received by the Global Agent not later than 12:00 noon not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the requested
date of any Drawing. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) must be confirmed promptly
by delivery to the Global Agent of a written Drawing Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower. Each Drawing Notice (whether telephonic or in writing) shall specify (A) the Drawing Date, (B) the aggregate Face Amount
of Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Notes to be accepted and purchased (or purchased, as the case may be); and (C) the
Contract Maturity Date for the Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Notes.

 

(ii)           Following
receipt of a Drawing Notice, the Global Agent shall promptly notify each Multicurrency Revolving Lender of the amount of its Multicurrency
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the applicable Drawing. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on an applicable Drawing Date, each Multicurrency
Revolving Lender shall complete a Bankers’ Acceptance or, in the case of a Non BA Lender, a BA Equivalent Note, in a Face
Amount and for a term identical to the Face Amount and term of the Bankers’ Acceptance that such Non BA Lender would have
been required to accept on such Drawing Date if it were a BA Lender, in accordance with the Drawing Notice and either (i) accept
the Drafts and purchase the Bankers’ Acceptances thereby created for the Drawing Price; or (ii) purchase such BA Equivalent
Note for the Drawing Price and, in each case, pay to the Global Agent the Drawing Proceeds in respect of such Bankers’ Acceptance
or BA Equivalent Note, as the case may be (determined in the case of a BA Equivalent Note, as if such BA Equivalent Note were a
Bankers’ Acceptance). Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Global Agent shall
make all Drawing Proceeds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Global Agent either by (i) crediting
the account of the Borrower on the books of the Global Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds,
in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Global Agent by the Borrower; provided,
however, that if, on any Drawing Date, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the applicable Drawing Proceeds first,
shall be applied, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower
as provided above.

 

    	63

     

    

 

(iii)         Bankers’
Acceptances purchased by a Lender may be held by it for its own account until the Contract Maturity Date or sold by it at any time
prior to that date in such Person's sole discretion.

 

(d)          Power
of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each Multicurrency Revolving Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse
on its behalf, manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, any BA Instrument necessary to enable each such Multicurrency
Revolving Lender to make Drawings in the manner specified in this Section 2.05. All Bankers’ Acceptances signed or
endorsed on the Borrower’s behalf by a Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be binding on the Borrower, all as if duly executed
and issued by the Borrower. No Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be liable for any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and related expenses (including the reasonable legal fees), incurred by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such BA Instruments, unless such Multicurrency Revolving Lender
shall have failed to exercise the degree of care that a prudent lender would exercise in the care and custody of its own property.
Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall (i) maintain a record with respect to any BA Instrument completed in accordance herewith,
voided by it for any reason, purchased or accepted and purchased by it or issued in its favor hereunder, and cancelled at their
respective maturities; (ii) retain such records in the manner and for the statutory periods provided in the various provincial
or Canadian federal statutes and regulations which apply to such Multicurrency Revolving Lender; and (iii) provide a copy of any
or all of such records at any time and from time to time upon request therefor by, and at the expense of, the Borrower. Upon request
of the Borrower, a Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall cancel all BA Instruments which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on
behalf of the Borrower and which are held by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender and are not required to make Drawings in accordance
with this Section 2.05, and shall forthwith deliver all such cancelled BA Instruments to the Borrower.

 

(e)          Payment,
Conversion or Renewal of BA Instruments.

 

(i)           In
connection with a Contract Maturity Date of a Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, the Borrower may (i) elect to issue
a replacement Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note by giving a Drawing Notice in accordance with Section 2.05(c);
(ii) elect to have all or a portion of the Face Amount of the Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note converted to a Canadian
Prime Rate Loan by giving a Committed Loan Notice in accordance with Section 2.02; or (iii) pay on the Contract Maturity
Date for the Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, an amount in Canadian Dollars equal to the Face Amount of the Bankers’
Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note (notwithstanding that a Multicurrency Revolving Lender may not be the holder of it at maturity)
in accordance with Section 2.14(a). Any such payment shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations under the Bankers’
Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note to which it relates and (in the case of any Bankers’ Acceptance) such Multicurrency Revolving
Lender shall then be solely responsible for the payment of the Bankers’ Acceptance.

 

    	64

     

    

 

(ii)           If
the Borrower fails to pay any Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note when due or issue a replacement in the Face Amount
of such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note pursuant to clause (i) above, the unpaid amount due and payable
shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan made by the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders ratably and shall bear interest in
accordance with the terms hereof. This conversion shall occur as of the applicable Contract Maturity Date and without any necessity
for the Borrower to give a Committed Loan Notice.

 

2.06        Prepayments.

 

(a)          The
Borrower may, upon notice to the Agents, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay the Committed Loans and the Term
Loans of any Class in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Agents and be received by the Agents not later than 1:00 p.m. (x) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and (y) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime
Rate Loans; (B) any such prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$5,000,000
or a whole multiple of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof; (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of U.S.$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of U.S.$500,000 in excess thereof; and (D) any prepayment of Canadian
Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of C$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of C$500,000 in excess thereof or, in each case,
if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify (w) the date and amount and currency
of such prepayment, (x) whether the Loan to be prepaid is a Term Loan or a Committed Loan (or other Borrowing, if applicable),
(y) the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and (z) if LIBOR Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The
Agents will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion
of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage). If such notice is given, the Borrower shall make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided,
that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or debt incurrences,
in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agents on or prior to the specified effective date)
if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount
prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.19, each such
prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied to the Term Loan and shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages of the Term Loan. Subject to Section 2.19, each such prepayment of the Committed Loan of any Class
shall be applied to the Committed Loans outstanding in such Class on a pro rata basis among the applicable Lenders of such Class
in accordance with their Applicable Percentages of the Committed Loans of such Class. The Borrower shall not be permitted to prepay
any Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Notes at any time; provided that the Borrower may Cash Collateralize any
Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Notes by depositing the full face amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance and/or BA
Equivalent Notes for application to such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Notes, as the case may be, on the applicable
Contract Maturity Date.

 

    	65

     

    

 

(b)          The
Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Agents), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing
Line Lender and the Agents not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum
principal amount of U.S.$100,000 in the case of U.S. Dollar Swing Line Loans (or such lesser amount as approved by the Swing Line
Lender) and C$100,000 in the case of Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans (or such lesser amount as approved by the Swing Line Lender).
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given, the Borrower shall make such prepayment
and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

 

(c)          If
for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings (or any Class thereof) at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments (or any Class
thereof) then in effect (or 105% of the Aggregate Commitments (or any Class thereof) then in effect solely to the extent due to
currency fluctuation), the Borrower shall promptly (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower
of written notice detailing such excess) prepay Committed Loans, Cash Collateralize Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent
Notes and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to (i) such excess, to
the extent Committed Loans are being prepaid, or (ii) the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such excess, to the extent
L/C Obligations are being Cash Collateralized, or (iii) the aggregate Face Amount thereof with respect to such excess, to
the extent Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes are being Cash Collateralized; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent
Notes pursuant to this clause (c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans, the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed
the Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided further, however, that if it is determined on any subsequent day
that any such prepaid or Cash Collateralized amount exceeds the amount of such excess, the Borrower may withdraw (by written notice
to the Agents) the amount by which such excess has been reduced. The Agents may, at any time and from time to time after the initial
deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of
further exchange rate fluctuations. No Default or Event of Default shall arise hereunder or under any other Loan Document as a
result of currency fluctuations so long as the Borrower timely complies with the prepayment and Cash Collateral requirements set
forth in this Section 2.06.

 

    	66

     

    

 

2.07        Termination
or Reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Agents, terminate the Aggregate Commitments,
or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments (or any Class thereof); provided that (i) any such notice
shall be received by the Agents not later than 1:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction
(except that if no Loans are outstanding hereunder and no Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes
are issued and outstanding hereunder or the effectiveness of a new credit facility for the Borrower is conditioned on the termination
of this Agreement, any notice of termination of the Aggregate Commitments may be received on the date of termination), (ii) any
such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of U.S.$5,000,000 or any whole multiple of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof,
(iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments (or any Class thereof) if, after giving effect thereto
and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments; provided
that the Borrower may terminate the Aggregate Commitments if all Loans have been paid in full, the Borrower has Cash Collateralized,
or provided other support acceptable to the L/C Issuers, the BA Lenders or the Non BA Lenders that purchased BA Equivalent Notes
for, all outstanding Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes, and there are no outstanding L/C Borrowings
and BA Borrowings, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments (or any Class thereof), the
Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit
(and each component sublimit thereof) and/or the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the
amount of such excess. The Agents will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of
the Aggregate Commitments. Except as contemplated in Section 11.01, any reduction of any Class of the Aggregate Commitments
shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Applicable Revolving Lender of such Class on a ratable basis and any reduction
of the Aggregate Commitments taken as a whole shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender according
to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall
be paid on the effective date of such termination.

 

2.08        Repayment
of Loans.

 

(a)          The
Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Term Loan Lenders on the Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loan the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on such date.

 

(b)          Committed
Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Revolving Lenders on the Maturity Date applicable to Committed Loans the aggregate principal
amount of all Committed Loans outstanding on such date.

 

(c)          Swing
Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Swing Line Lender each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date
ten (10) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made and (ii) on the Maturity Date applicable to Committed Loans.

 

(d)          BA
Instruments. The Borrower shall repay all BA Instruments on the Contract Maturity Date thereof in accordance with Section
2.05(e)(i).

 

    	67

     

    

 

2.09        Interest.

 

(a)          Subject
to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Rate for LIBOR Rate Loans; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each Canadian
Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per
annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Canadian Prime Rate Loans; (iv) each U.S. Dollar Swing Line
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans or such other rate as may be agreed to from time to time by
the Borrower and the Swing Line Lender; provided that after any purchase by the Lenders of a participation in any U.S. Dollar
Swing Line Loan, the rate of interest on such Swing Line Loan shall not be less than the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate
for Base Rate Loans; and (v) each Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Canadian Prime
Rate Loans; provided that after any purchase by the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders of a participation in any Canadian Dollar
Swing Line Loan, the rate of interest on such Swing Line Loan shall not be less than the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable
Rate for Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

 

(b) (i) If any amount
of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration (including automatic acceleration) or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest
rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(ii)         If
any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (including any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders,
such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iii)        Upon
the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists (other than as set forth in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii)
above), the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all other Obligations that are then
due and payable at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable Laws.

 

(iv)        Accrued
and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

(c)          Interest
on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may
be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment,
and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

2.10        Fees.
In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03 and subsection (c)(ii) of
Section 2.05:

 

    	68

     

    

 

(a)          Commitment
Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents for the account of each Revolving Lender, a commitment fee (the “Commitment
Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate for the Commitment Fee times the actual daily amount by which
the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans advanced by
such Revolving Lender, (ii) the Outstanding Amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes purchased by such
Revolving Lender and (iii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations for which such Revolving Lender is deemed to have a risk participation,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.19. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability
Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with
the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Revolving Commitments
shall terminate. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period
during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For purposes of computing the Commitment Fee, Swing Line Loans shall
not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Commitments.

 

(b)          Other
Fees. The Borrower shall pay to each Arranger and the Agents for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the
times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.11        Computation
of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

 

(a)          All
computations of interest for LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results
in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). The computation of (i) interest
on Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans, (ii) Drawing Fees, and (iii) all other fees and interest, shall be
made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan
for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or
such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section
2.13(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Agents of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(b)          If,
as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the
Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate
and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately
and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agents for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as
the case may be, promptly on demand by the Agents (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief
with respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Agents, any Lender or
any L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over
the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Agents, any Lender
or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(vi), 2.03(i) or 2.09(b) or under Article VIII.
The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment
of all Obligations hereunder.

 

    	69

     

    

 

(c)           To
the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of the Interest Act (Canada) or the Judgment Interest Act (Alberta)
which restricts any rate of interest set forth herein shall be inapplicable to this Agreement and is hereby waived by the Borrower.

 

(d)           The
theory of deemed reinvestment shall not apply to the calculation of interest or payment of fees or other amounts hereunder, notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement, acceptance or other evidence of indebtedness or in any other Loan Document now or hereafter
taken by either Agent or any Lender for the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, or any other instrument referred
to herein, and all interest and fees payable by the Borrower to the Lenders, shall accrue from day to day, computed as described
herein in accordance with the “nominal rate” method of interest calculation.

 

(e)           Where,
in this Agreement, any rate of interest, fees or discount is to be calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year, such rate is,
for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to the said rate (i) multiplied by the actual number of days in
the one year period beginning on the first day of the period of calculation and (ii) divided by 365 or 366, as applicable. Where,
in this Agreement, any rate of interest, fees or discount is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, such rate is, for
the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to the said rate (i) multiplied by the actual number of days in the
one year period beginning on the first day of the period of calculation and (ii) divided by 360.

 

2.12        Evidence
of Debt.

 

(a)          The
Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the
Agents in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Agents and each Lender shall be conclusive
absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments
thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agents in respect of such matters, the accounts and records
of the Agents shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agents, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agents) a Revolving Credit Note and/or a Term Note, which shall evidence
such Lender’s Committed Loans and/or Term Loan, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.

 

(b)          In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a) above, each Lender and the Agents shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit
and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Agents and the accounts and
records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agents shall control in the absence of manifest
error.

 

    	70

     

    

 

2.13        Payments
Generally; the Agents’ Clawback.

 

(a)           General.
All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction (subject to Section
3.01) for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the
Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Agents, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the
Global Agent’s Office or U.S. Agent’s Office, as applicable, in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of Canadian Dollar Committed
Loans (including BA Borrowings) and Canadian Dollar Letters of Credit, Canadian Dollars) and in immediately available funds not
later than 12:00 Noon on the date specified herein. The applicable Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s
Lending Office. All payments received by the applicable Agent after 12:00 Noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come
due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall
be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein
or in any other Loan Document, any payment required to be made by a Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower pursuant to the applicable
Loan Documents shall be made to the U.S. Agent.

 

(b)          (i) Funding
by the Lenders; Presumption by the Agents. Unless the Agents shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed
date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans or Drawing (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate
Loans, prior to 12:00 Noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Agents such Lender’s
share of such Borrowing or Drawing, as applicable, the Agents may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such
date in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.15, as applicable (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in
fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the applicable Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower
severally agree to pay to the applicable Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date
of payment to the Agents, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and
a rate determined by the applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Agents in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment
to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable. If the
Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the applicable Agent for the same or an overlapping period, such Agent shall
promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share
of the applicable Borrowing or Drawing to the applicable Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan,
Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, as applicable. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim
the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agents.

 

    	71

     

    

 

(ii)         Payments
by the Borrower; Presumptions by the Agents. Unless the Agents shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date
on which any payment is due to either Agent for the account of the Lenders or an L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not
make such payment, the Agents may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the appropriate Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In
such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the appropriate Lenders or L/C Issuers, as the case
may be, severally agrees to repay to the applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such
L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed
to it to but excluding the date of payment to such Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

A notice of either Agent
to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.

 

(c)          Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Agents funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender or
any Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note to be purchased by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the applicable Agent because the conditions to the
applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, such
Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(d)          Obligations
of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make the Term Loans, Committed Loans and any other Loan
advanced hereunder, or to purchase Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes hereunder, from time to time, to fund participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments under Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure
of any Lender to make any Loan, to purchase any Bankers’ Acceptance or any BA Equivalent Note, to fund any such participation
or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or
purchase its Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note, as the case may be, purchase its participation or to make its payment
under Section 11.04(c). Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no action taken by the Lenders
and/or the Global Agent pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, association, joint
venture or other entity or like relationship.

 

    	72

     

    

 

(e)          Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan, Bankers’ Acceptance or
BA Equivalent Note in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will
obtain the funds for any Loan, Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note in any particular place or manner.

 

(f)           Insufficient
Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agents to pay fully all amounts of principal,
L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due or designated to be paid hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment
of interest and fees then due or designated to be paid hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with
the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then
due or designated to be paid hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

 

2.14        Sharing
of Payments.

 

(a)          If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of
or interest on any of the Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations
or in Swing Line Loans held by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
such Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro
rata share thereof as provided herein (taking into account, as necessary, the pricing applicable to each Lender), then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall (x) notify the Agents of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans
of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared
by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans,
Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes, Letters of Credit and other amounts owing them, provided that:

 

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

 

(ii)         the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the application of funds arising from
the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.18, (C) any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans, Bankers’
Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant,
other than an assignment to the Borrower thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply), or (D) any payment of
consideration for executing any amendment, waiver or consent in connection with this Agreement so long as such consideration has
been offered to all consenting Lenders.

 

    	73

     

    

 

Each of the Credit Parties consents to
the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

 

2.15        Accordion
Advances (Increases and Replacements of the Aggregate Commitments and New or Increased Term Loans).

 

(a)           Request
for Accordion Advance. Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Agents (which shall thereafter
promptly notify the Lenders as set forth in this Section), and subject to the terms of this Section 2.15, the Borrower may
from time to time, without obtaining further consent from the Lenders, request (i) an increase in or replacement of the Aggregate
Commitments or any Class thereof (which increase or replacement and the proceeds of any Committed Loans to be advanced thereunder
may be used, in whole or in part, to prepay (or Cash Collateralize, as applicable) any Loan, Bankers’ Acceptance, BA Equivalent
Note or other Obligation then outstanding in accordance with the terms hereof), and (ii) one or more term loans (which term loan
may be in the form of a new term loan tranche or an increase to the Term Loan or any other term loan advanced hereunder from time
to time and then outstanding), the proceeds of which may be used, in whole or in part, to prepay (or Cash Collateralize, as applicable)
any Loan, Bankers’ Acceptance, BA Equivalent Note or other Obligation (any such term loan or increase in or replacement of
the Aggregate Commitments, an “Accordion Advance”); provided that the aggregate amounts so requested
under clauses (i) and (ii) above after the Closing Date (excluding any such amounts to the extent concurrently used
to prepay term loans or replace Aggregate Commitments) shall not exceed U.S.$500,000,000; and provided, further,
that, after giving effect to any such Accordion Advance, the Total Facility Amount shall not at any time exceed U.S.$3,700,000,000
in the aggregate (minus any and all permanent reductions of the Aggregate Commitments previously effected by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.07 or prepayments of the Term Loan or any other term loan advanced hereunder from time to time and
then outstanding (other than in connection with a prior term loan or replacement of the Aggregate Commitments under this Section
2.15(a))). In no event shall any existing Lender be required to increase its Revolving Commitment or fund any portion of any
Accordion Advance.

 

Any Accordion Advance
will be subject to pricing and fees based on the then-current market for borrowers with similar credit profiles and ratings as
mutually agreed to by the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders providing commitments for such Accordion Advance, as set forth in
any applicable Conforming Amendment (defined below) or related fee letters.

 

(b)           Loan
Terms and Conditions. To the extent that a new or increased term loan or a replacement of the Aggregate Commitments is requested
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (any such new or increased term loan or replacement of the Aggregate Commitments, an “Accordion
Tranche”), such Accordion Tranche shall, in addition to compliance with the other applicable terms of this Section
2.15, be subject to additional customary terms and conditions as are agreed among the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders
participating in such Accordion Tranche, in any event including the following:

 

    	74

     

    

 

(i)          Evidence
of Indebtedness; Loan Accounts. Each Lender participating in such Accordion Tranche shall maintain, in accordance with its
usual practice, an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from such Lender’s
share of such Accordion Tranche from time to time, including the amounts of principal, interest or fees payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Agents shall maintain accounts (including the Register) in which it shall record
(A) the amount of such Accordion Tranche, the amount of any Credit Extensions advanced thereunder and each Interest Period applicable
thereto, (B) the amount of any principal, interest or fees due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender participating in such Accordion Tranche, and (C) both the amount of any sum received by the Agents hereunder for the account
of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof (if any). The entries made in the accounts maintained by each Lender participating
in such Accordion Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however,
that the failure of any Lender or the Agents to maintain any such accounts or note record, or any error therein, shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) any Loans or other Credit Extensions advanced
under such or the applicable Accordion Tranche made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If requested by any Lender
participating in such Accordion Tranche, the Borrower shall execute a promissory note with respect to such Lender’s portion
of such Accordion Tranche.

 

(ii)         Interest
on any Accordion Tranche. After such Accordion Tranche has been created, (x) the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof shall
apply mutatis mutandis with respect to all or any portion of any Loans or other Credit Extensions advanced under
such Accordion Tranche so that, to the extent applicable, the Borrower may have the same interest rate options (and options to
issue Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes) with respect to all or any portion of the Loans or other Credit Extensions
advanced under such Accordion Tranche as it would be entitled to with respect to the Loans and other Credit Extensions then outstanding,
and (y) the provisions of Article III of this Agreement shall also apply to Loans and other Credit Extensions advanced under
such Accordion Tranche.

 

(iii)        Pari
Passu Treatment of any Accordion Tranche. Any Loans or other Credit Extensions advanced under any Accordion Tranche created
hereunder (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security (if any) with all other Loans and (B) shall
be governed by and subject to all of the provisions, terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
in every respect as though such Loan or other Credit Extension was an original “Loan” or “Credit Extension”
(and in the case of a replacement of the Aggregate Commitments, an original “Committed Loan”) referred to herein and
will constitute an Obligation of the Borrower hereunder.

 

    	75

     

    

 

(c)          Acceding
Lenders. Subject to the approval of the Agents (and the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender only with respect to an increase
in or replacement of the Aggregate Commitments), which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the
Borrower may invite any Lender and/or one or more other commercial banks, other financial institutions or other Persons (in each
case, an “Acceding Lender”) to become party to this Agreement as a Lender; provided, that, with respect
to any Acceding Lender intended to be a Revolving Lender under this Agreement, such Acceding Lender shall be designated a U.S.
Revolving Lender or Multicurrency Revolving Lender, as applicable. Such Acceding Lender shall become a Lender hereunder by entering
into an instrument of accession in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto (an “Instrument of Accession”)
with the Borrower and the Agents and assuming thereunder the rights and obligations (as the case may be) of a Lender hereunder,
including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, commitments to make Committed Loans, accept Bankers’ Acceptances
and purchase BA Equivalent Notes and to participate in the risk relating to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and/or the obligation
to fund a portion of a new or increased term loan subject to the terms of this Section, and the Aggregate Commitments and/or new
or increased term loan (as the case may be) shall be funded by the amount of such Acceding Lender’s interest all in accordance
with the provisions of this Section.

 

(d)          Reallocation.
The Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders and the Agents for any cost or expense incurred as a consequence of the reallocation of
any LIBOR Rate Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes to an Acceding Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section
3.05 hereof.

 

(e)          Effective
Date and Allocations. Upon a request by the Borrower for an Accordion Advance in accordance with this Section, the Agents and
the Borrower shall determine, as applicable, the effective date of any such Accordion Advance (any such date, the “Accordion
Funding Date”) and the final allocation of any such Accordion Advance. The Agents shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders and Acceding Lenders, if any, of the final allocation of such Accordion Advance. On any Accordion Funding Date,
Schedule 2.01 hereto shall be amended to reflect, as the case may be, (x) the name, address, and, as the case may be, the
Revolving Commitment of the Lenders and/or the amount of the portion of the new or increased term loan advanced or to be advanced
by each Term Loan Lender (and, if applicable, any Acceding Lender), (y) the amount of the Aggregate Commitments and/or any new
or increased term loan (after giving effect to any Accordion Advance), and (z) the changes to the respective Applicable Percentages
of the Lenders (after giving effect to any Accordion Advance).

 

(f)          Conforming
Amendment. To the extent that conforming changes (including incorporating the Accordion Advances and payment and pricing provisions
applicable thereto) to this Agreement must be made to effect an Accordion Advance in accordance with this Section, the Agents and
the Borrower may enter into an amendment (a “Conforming Amendment”) effecting such changes. Any such Conforming
Amendment shall not require the consent of any Person other than the participating Lenders or Acceding Lenders, as applicable,
the Borrower and the Agents so long as such Conforming Amendment does not provide for new or amended covenants or events of default
applicable to any Accordion Advance; provided, that upon the execution of any Conforming Amendment, the Agents shall distribute
a copy thereof to all of the Lenders. If such Conforming Amendment provides for new or amended covenants or events of default applicable
to any Accordion Advance, the provisions of such Conforming Amendment giving effect to such new or amended covenants or events
of default shall be subject to the consent of the Required Lenders (in accordance with Section 11.01) calculated without
giving effect to the applicable Accordion Advance.

 

    	76

     

    

 

(g)          Conditions
to Effectiveness of any Accordion Advance. As a condition precedent to any such Accordion Advance under this Section 2.15,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Agents (i) upon the request of any Lender, a Note (or an amendment and restatement of such Lender’s
existing Note upon surrender for cancellation of such Note) evidencing such Lender’s portion of any Accordion Advance, (ii)
evidence of applicable corporate authorization and other corporate documentation from the Credit Parties and the customary legal
opinion of counsel to the Credit Parties (in each case, consistent with the requirements for opinions delivered on the Closing
Date under Section 4.01(a)(v) or as otherwise reasonably requested by the Agents), each in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agents and such Lenders as are participating in such Accordion Advance, (iii) a certificate, dated as of any
Accordion Funding Date, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that, before and after giving effect to such
Accordion Advance, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 will be satisfied, (iv) a pro forma Compliance
Certificate reflecting compliance with Section 7.14 (using Consolidated EBITDA of the Consolidated Group as of the last
day of the applicable Pro Forma Reference Period (but including any addbacks to Consolidated EBITDA previously approved in the
period following the last day of the applicable Pro Forma Reference Period) and Consolidated Total Funded Debt as of the date of,
and after giving effect to, such Accordion Advance (with such amounts adjusted as if such Accordion Advance occurred on the first
day of the applicable Pro Forma Reference Period)), (v) to the extent applicable, executed counterparts to a Conforming Amendment,
and (vi) payment of (A) all of the Agents’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred in connection
with such Accordion Advance and (B) the fees set forth in any applicable fee letter signed by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower
shall, after taking into account the application of any Accordion Advance, if applicable, prepay any Committed Loans or the Term
Loan and Cash Collateralize any Bankers’ Acceptance and BA Equivalent Notes outstanding on any Accordion Funding Date (and
pay any additional amounts required under Article III of this Agreement) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding
Committed Loans, Term Loan, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages
in respect of Committed Loans or the Term Loan arising from any nonratable increase in the Aggregate Commitments or the Term Loan.
For the avoidance of doubt, all or any portion of any Class of Revolving Commitments may be replaced by Revolving Commitments of
another Class (e.g. the U.S. Revolving Commitments may be terminated and replaced with Multicurrency Revolving Commitments), as
mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Agents.

 

(h)          Conflicting
Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.14 or 11.01 to the contrary.

 

2.16        [Reserved].

 

2.17        [Reserved].

 

    	77

     

    

 

2.18        Cash
Collateral.

 

(a)          Certain
Credit Support Events. If (i) any L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and
such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding,
(iii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii)(B), Section 2.06(c)
or Section 8.02(c), or (iv) there exists a Defaulting Lender, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall immediately (in
the case of clause (iii) above) or within one (1) Business Day (in all other cases) following any request by the Agents
or such L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined, in
the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv) and
any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). Upon the request of the Global Agent or Revolving Lenders holding in excess
of fifty percent (50%) of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all Bankers’ Acceptances and
BA Equivalent Notes; provided that the obligation to provide Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately thereafter,
and such Cash Collateral shall become due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon an actual or deemed entry
of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy
and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Winding-Up and Restructuring Act (Canada) or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement
Act (Canada), each as now and hereafter in effect, or any successors to such statutes or any similar Debtor Relief Law that
imposes any stay on the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or upon the consummation of any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law under which a stay or similar injunction is requested. The Borrower shall also provide Cash Collateral pursuant to this
Section 2.18(a) in accordance with Sections 2.05 and 2.14 in an amount necessary to satisfy the Cash Collateral
requirements set forth therein or upon the occurrence of any other event requiring the Cash Collateral of Bankers’ Acceptances
and BA Equivalent Notes prior to the Contract Maturity Date thereof, and as contemplated under Section 2.06.

 

(b)          Grant
of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants
to (and subjects to the control of) the Global Agent or the U.S. Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Agents, the L/C Issuers
and the Revolving Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all
balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as
security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.18(c), and hereby authorizes
the Global Agent to file such registration statements or make such other filings as may be necessary to perfect such interest in
Cash Collateral in the relevant Canadian jurisdiction. If at any time the Global Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject
to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agents or the L/C Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such
Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand (after the presentation of
a reasonably detailed invoice) by the Agents, pay or provide to the Agents additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained
in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Global Agent or any Affiliate thereof. The Borrower shall pay on demand
therefor from time to time all reasonable and customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in
connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

 

    	78

     

    

 

(c)          Application.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.18
or Sections 2.03, 2.07, 2.19 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the
satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided
by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations (as identified at the time of the provision
thereof) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided
for herein, and (ii) Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.18 or Sections 2.05, 2.14 or 8.02
with respect to Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific
Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes for which it was provided.

 

(d)          Release.
Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall
be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto
(including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following
compliance with Section 11.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the good faith determination by the applicable Agent or the applicable L/C
Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that the Person providing Cash Collateral and
the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting
Exposure or other obligations.

 

2.19        Defaulting
Lenders.

 

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

 

(i)          Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 11.01.

 

    	79

     

    

 

(ii)         Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by either Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by either
Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by
such Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Global Agent or the U.S.
Agent, as applicable, hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting
Exposure, on a pro rata basis, with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.18; fourth,
as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which
such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by such Agent; fifth,
if so determined by the applicable Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro
rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans, Bankers’
Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure
with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with
Section 2.18; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh,
so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court
of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, Bankers’
Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate
share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Committed Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances,
BA Equivalent Notes or L/C Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment
of any Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time
as all Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing
Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Aggregate Commitments hereunder without giving effect
to Section 2.19(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied
(or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(ii) shall
be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)        Certain
Fees.

 

(A)         No
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.10(a) for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

 

(B)          Each
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to
the extent allocable to its ratable share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant
to Section 2.18.

 

    	80

     

    

 

(C)         With
respect to any L/C Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall
(x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting
Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the applicable L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount
of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or the Swing Line
Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

 

(iv)        Reallocation
of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective ratable
share (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation
does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s
Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 11.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim
of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim
of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

 

(v)         Cash
Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable
Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second,
Cash Collateralize the applicable L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
2.18.

 

(b)          Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Agents, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers agree in writing that a Lender is no longer
a Defaulting Lender, the Agents will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice
and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender
will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent
Notes of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the applicable Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans,
Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans
to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section
2.19(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting
Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change
hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from
that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III.         TAXES,
YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01        Taxes.

 

(a)           Payments
Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

 

(i)          Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction
or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion
of the Borrower or either Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by either Agent or such
Credit Party (including any withholding or deduction imposed on any payment made under a Permitted Intercompany Financing or other
intercompany loan or other financing with or among Subsidiaries of the Borrower due to any Credit Party or other Subsidiary of
the Borrower being treated as or as if it were a borrower or co-borrower under the Code or applicable Treasury regulations), then
the applicable Agent or such Credit Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information
and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

 

(ii)         If
any Credit Party or either Agent shall be so required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States
Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes (including any withholding or deduction imposed on any payment made under a Permitted
Intercompany Financing or other intercompany loan or other financing with or among Subsidiaries of the Borrower due to any Credit
Party or other Subsidiary of the Borrower being treated as or as if it were a borrower or co-borrower under the Code or applicable
Treasury regulations), from any payment, then (A) such Credit Party or such Agent, as applicable, shall withhold or make such deductions
as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e)
below, (B) such Credit Party or such Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account
of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such required
withholding or the making of all such required deductions (including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding
or deduction been made.

 

(iii)        If
any Credit Party or either Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from
any payment, then (A) such Credit Party or such Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are
determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e)
below, (B) such Credit Party or such Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is
made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased (in the case of any Indemnified
Taxes arising under the ITA, as a payment of additional interest) as necessary so that after such required withholding or the making
of all such required deductions (including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01)
the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

 

    	82

     

    

 

(b)          Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Credit Parties shall timely
pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the applicable Agent timely reimburse
it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(c)          Tax
Indemnifications.

 

(i)          Without
duplication of any indemnity in Section 3.01(a), each of the Credit Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally
indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section
3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Borrower shall
not be obligated to make payment to such Recipient pursuant to this Section 3.01 in respect of penalties, interest and other
similar liabilities attributable to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes if (A) written demand therefor has not been made by such
Recipient within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which such Recipient received written notice of the imposition
of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the relevant Governmental Authority, but only to the extent such penalties, interest and
other similar liabilities are attributable to such failure or delay by such Recipient in making such written demand, or (B) such
penalties, interest and other similar liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Recipient
or its Affiliates as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agents), or by either Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Credit Parties shall, and does hereby,
jointly and severally indemnify the Agents, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for
any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Agents as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii);
provided that the Agents shall first make written demand for such amount from such Lender and such Lender shall indemnify the applicable
Credit Party to the extent of any such payment by a Credit Party pursuant to this sentence with respect to Taxes described in clauses
(y) and (z) of Section 3.01(c)(ii).

 

(ii)         Each
Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor,
(w) the Agents and the Borrower or its Subsidiaries for any Excluded Taxes resulting from such Lender’s breach of Section
3.01(e)(ii)(E), (x) the Agents against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit
Party has not already indemnified the applicable Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit
Parties to do so), (y) the Agents and the Credit Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z)
the Agents and the Credit Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are
payable or paid by either Agent or a Credit Party in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by either Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agents to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agents under this clause (ii).

 

    	83

     

    

 

(d)          Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower, any other Credit Party or by either Agent to
a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower or such Credit Party shall deliver to the Agents
(but only to the extent available to the Borrower or such Credit Party with respect to any such payment made by the Agents) the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required
by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agents.

 

(e)          Status
of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

 

(i)           Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
(including any such exemption or reduction to which such Lender would be entitled if a Credit Party or other Subsidiary of the
Borrower that is a U.S. Person (a “U.S. Credit Party”) were treated as or as if it were a borrower or co-borrower
under the Code or applicable Treasury regulations) shall deliver to the Borrower (or any such U.S. Credit Party) and the Agents,
at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower (or any such U.S. Credit Party) or either Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, such U.S. Credit Party or either Agent as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower,
such U.S. Credit Party or the Agents, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested
by the Borrower, such U.S. Credit Party or the Agents as will enable the Borrower, such U.S. Credit Party or the Agents to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
set forth in Sections 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (e)(ii)(B) and (e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense
or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)          Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing in the event that the Borrower or any U.S. Credit Party is a U.S. Person,

 

(A)         any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agents on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agents), executed
copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

    	84

     

    

 

(B)         any
Foreign Lender and any Canadian Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents
(in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or Canadian
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Agents), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(I)         in
the case of a Foreign Lender or a Canadian Lender entitled to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party (or which would be entitled to claim such benefits if a U.S. Credit Party or other Subsidiary of the Borrower were treated
as or as if it were a borrower or co-borrower under the Code or applicable Treasury regulations) (x) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing a complete exemption
from U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any
other applicable payments under any Loan Document (including due to any U.S. Credit Party or other Subsidiary of the Borrower being
treated as or as if it were a borrower or co-borrower under the Code or applicable Treasury regulations), IRS Form W-8BENE (or
W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits”
or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

(II)        executed
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(III)       in
the case of a Foreign Lender or a Canadian Lender entitled to claim the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code (or which would be entitled to claim such benefits if a U.S. Credit Party or other Subsidiary of the
Borrower were treated as or as if it were a borrower or co-borrower under the Code or applicable Treasury regulations), (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower or such U.S. Credit Party within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable);
or

 

    	85

     

    

 

(IV)       to
the extent a Foreign Lender or a Canadian Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by
IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, in
each case, establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax; provided, that if the Foreign Lender or
Canadian Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf
of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(C)         any
Foreign Lender or Canadian Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents
(in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or either Agent), executed copies
of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax (including any such withholding Tax that would apply if any U.S. Credit Party or other Subsidiary of the Borrower were treated
as or as if it were a borrower or co-borrower under the Code or applicable Treasury regulations) or exemption from or reduction
in any non-U.S. withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable
Law to permit the Borrower or the Agents to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D)         if
a payment made to an Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Agent or Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in
Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), including if any U.S. Credit Party or other Subsidiary of the Borrower
were treated as or as if it were a borrower or co-borrower under the Code or applicable Treasury regulations, such Agent or Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agents at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or either Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)
of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or either Agent as may be necessary for the
Credit Parties and the Agents to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Agent or Lender has complied
with such Agent’s or Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of
this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Borrower
and the Agents shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agents to treat) the Loans and this Agreement as not qualifying
as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

 

    	86

     

    

 

(E)         each
Foreign Lender and each Canadian Lender represents and warrants that, as of the date such Lender first becomes a Lender hereunder,
it would be entitled to provide the documentation described in clause (B), (C) or (D) hereof with respect to any U.S. Credit Party
or other Subsidiary of the Borrower if such U.S. Credit Party or Subsidiary were treated as or as if it were a borrower or co-borrower
under the Code to the effect that such Lender is entitled to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax (including
pursuant to FATCA).

 

(iii)         Each
Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agents
in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(iv)        
Without limiting the foregoing, any U.S. Credit Party shall be permitted to rely on any documentation provided to Borrower and
any Borrower shall be permitted to rely on any documentation provided to any U.S. Credit Party pursuant to this Section 3.01.

 

(f)          Treatment
of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall either Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds
paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received
a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to such Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 3.01
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient,
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided
that such Credit Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in
no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to any Credit Party pursuant to this subsection the payment
of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification
payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require
any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to
any Credit Party or any other Person.

 

(g)          Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of either or both of
the Agents or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all Loans and other Obligations.

 

    	87

     

    

 

3.02         Illegality.
If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it
is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge
interest with respect to any Credit Extension , or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S.
Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agents, (i) any obligation
of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension or continue LIBOR Rate
Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of
such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate component
of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the applicable Agent without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies
the Agents and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. With respect to LIBOR Rate
Loans, upon receipt of such notice, (w) the Borrower shall, upon demand (after presentation of a reasonably detailed invoice)
from such Lender (with a copy to the Agents), at the Borrower’s option, prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Rate
Loans, of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid
such illegality, be determined by the Agents without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last
day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately,
if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans and (x) if such notice asserts the illegality of such
Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, the Agents shall during the period of such suspension
compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBOR Rate component thereof until the Agents are advised
in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR
Rate. With respect to Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes, upon receipt of such notice, (y) the Borrower shall,
upon demand (after presentation of a reasonably detailed invoice) from such Lender (with a copy to the Global Agent), convert
all Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes, of such Lender to Canadian Prime Rate Loans (the interest rate on which
Canadian Prime Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Global Agent without
reference to the CDOR component of the Canadian Prime Rate), either on the applicable Contract Maturity Date therefor, if such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes to such day, or immediately, if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes and (z) if such notice
asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon CDOR, the Global Agent shall during the
period of such suspension compute the Canadian Prime Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the CDOR component thereof
until the Global Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge
interest rates based upon CDOR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount
so prepaid or converted.

 

    	88

     

    

 

3.03         Inability
to Determine Rates for a LIBOR Rate Loan. If in connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof (a) either Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar
market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loan or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or in connection with
an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (a)(i) above, “Impacted Loans”),
or (b) either Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBOR Rate
Loan, such Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in
the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the
utilization of the LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Rate
Loans or Interest Periods), in each case until the Agents upon the instruction of the Required Lenders revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR
Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted
such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if either Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i) of this section, the applicable Agent, in consultation
with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such
alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) such Agent revokes the notice delivered with
respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) such Agent or the Required Lenders notify
the Agents and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest
is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or
any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides
the Agents and the Borrower written notice thereof.

 

3.04        Increased
Costs; Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans.

 

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

 

(i)          impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated
by Section 3.04(e));

 

(ii)         subject
any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the
definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments
or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

    	89

     

    

 

(iii)        impose
on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or
Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes purchased by such Lender or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter
of Credit or participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any BA Equivalent Note or Bankers’ Acceptance (or of
maintaining its obligation to purchase any such BA Equivalent Notes or Bankers’ Acceptances), making, converting to, continuing
or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender of participating
in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit),
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)          Capital
Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or
such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans
held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower
will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)          Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, together with a brief
explanation for the increased costs and the basis for the calculation thereof, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days
after receipt thereof.

 

(d)          Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred
or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall
be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

    	90

     

    

 

(e)          Reserves
on LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with
respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such
reserves allocated to such LIBOR Rate Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall
be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such LIBOR Rate Loan, provided the
Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Agents) of such additional interest
from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days’ prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional
interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

 

3.05         Compensation
for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Agents) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate
such Lender (except, in the case of Section 3.05(c), any Defaulting Lender) for and hold such Lender (except, in the case
of Section 3.05(c), any Defaulting Lender) harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a)          any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of (i) the Face Amount of any Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note on
a day other than the Contract Maturity Date thereof for such Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note or (ii) any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether
voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

 

(b)          any
failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert
any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan, Canadian Prime Rate Loan, Bankers’ Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note on the date or
in the amount notified by the Borrower and/or required hereunder; or

 

(c)          any
assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor or of any Bankers’ Acceptances
or BA Equivalent Notes other than on the Contract Maturity Date thereof, in each case as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 11.01 or 11.13;

 

including any cost or expense arising from
the liquidation, or redeployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection
with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05,
each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Rate Loan made by it at the LIBOR Rate used in determining the LIBOR Rate
for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount
and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan was in fact so funded. This Section 3.05 shall not apply
with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, etc. arising from any
non-Tax claim.

3.06        Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)          Designation
of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided
that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified
Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
fails to comply with Section 3.01(e), or gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrower
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans or purchasing
its Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need
for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)          Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified
Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate
a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrower may replace or remove such Lender in accordance
with Section 11.13.

 

3.07        Circumstances
Making Bankers’ Acceptances Unavailable. If a Lender determines in good faith, which determination shall be final, conclusive
and binding upon the Borrower, and notifies the Agents and the Borrower that, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market:
(i) there is no market for Bankers’ Acceptances generally or of a requested duration; (ii) the demand for Bankers’
Acceptances is insufficient to allow the sale or trading of the Bankers’ Acceptances created and purchased hereunder generally
or in connection with a requested duration; or (iii) the Reference Discount Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of funds
of such Lender or the discount rate which would be applicable to a sale of Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by such Lender
in the market; then: (x) the right of the Borrower to request Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes of the affected
duration from that Lender shall be suspended until such Lender determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist and such Lender so notifies the Borrower; and (y) any Drawing Notice for an affected duration which is outstanding shall
be cancelled and the Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Notes requested therein shall not be made and a Bankers’
Acceptance or BA Equivalent Note having the shortest duration available (or if none) a Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall be made
in its place.

 

    	92

     

    

 

3.08        Survival.
All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and
other Loans advanced hereunder from time to time and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, only if such Obligations
accrue prior to the termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of all Obligations outstanding hereunder and the resignation
of one or both of the Agents.

5.13        Absence
of Financing Statements, Etc. Other than Permitted Liens, there is no financing statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage,
real estate mortgage or other document filed or recorded with any filing records, registry, or other public office, which purports

the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights relating thereto.

 

5.14        ERISA
Compliance.

 

(a)          Each
Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) and, to the Credit Parties’ knowledge, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance with
the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state laws except as could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Pension Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) that is intended to be a qualified plan under
Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect
that the form of such Pension Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined
by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such
a letter is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service. To the best knowledge of any Credit Party, nothing has occurred
that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status.

 

(b)          There
are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Credit Parties, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental
Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited
transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)          (i) No
ERISA Event has occurred, and no Credit Party nor any ERISA Affiliate is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably
be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan; (ii) each of the Credit Parties and
each ERISA Affiliate has met all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of each Pension Plan (other
than a Multiemployer Plan), and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for
or obtained; (iii) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan), the funding
target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is sixty percent (60%) or higher and none of the Credit
Parties nor any ERISA Affiliate knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target
attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below sixty percent (60%) as of the most recent valuation date; (iv) none
of the Credit Parties nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and
there are no premium payments which have become due that are unpaid; (v) none of the Credit Parties nor any ERISA Affiliate
has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no Pension Plan (other
than a Multiemployer Plan) has been terminated by the plan administrator thereof nor by the PBGC, and no event or circumstance
has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to
terminate any Pension Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) and, to the knowledge of the Credit Parties, there has been no notification
to the Credit Parties that a Multiemployer Plan has been terminated by the plan administrator thereof or by the PBGC, and, to the
knowledge of the Credit Parties, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the
PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any Multiemployer Plan.

5.15        Use
of Proceeds.

 

(a)           General.
 The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely as follows: (a) to the extent applicable, to refinance Indebtedness of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under the Existing Credit Agreements on the Closing Date; (b) to finance acquisitions permitted
pursuant to Section 7.04; and (c) for capital expenditures, working capital, payment of transaction fees and expenses
related to the Merger, Letters of Credit, and general corporate purposes; provided that the Borrower shall not directly
or indirectly use any proceeds of the Loans to acquire any Person if the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of such
Person to be acquired has not approved such acquisition (it being acknowledged that the acquisition of assets in the ordinary course
of business consistent with past practices and with respect to asset swaps, in each case, to the extent not constituting an acquisition
of all or substantially all of the assets of a Person, shall not be subject to such board (or equivalent governing body) approval).

 

(b)           Sanctions.
No Credit Extension, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate any applicable Sanctions.

 

(c)           Regulations
U and X. The Borrower is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of their important activities, in the business
of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying margin stock. Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing or drawing under each Letter
of Credit, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the Borrower only or of the Consolidated Group) subject to any
restriction on sale, pledge, or disposal under this Agreement or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument
between the Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness and within the scope of Section
8.01(f) will be margin stock.

 

5.16        Environmental
Compliance. The Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries have taken all commercially reasonably necessary steps to investigate
the past and present condition and usage of the Real Estate and the operations conducted thereon and, based upon such diligent
investigation, have determined that:

 

(a)          neither
the Borrower, nor its Material Subsidiaries, nor any operator of any Real Estate, nor any operations thereon, is in violation,
or alleged violation, of any judgment, decree, order, law, permit, license, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental matters,
including without limitation, those arising under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, CERCLA, the Superfund Amendments
and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, or any
and all Canadian federal, United States federal, state, local, provincial, territorial or foreign law, statutes, regulations, ordinances,
Rules, orders, decrees, permits, concessions, grants, franchises, licenses, agreements or governmental restrictions relating to
health, safety, waste transportation or disposal, pollution or the protection of the environment or the release of any materials
into the environment, including those related to hazardous substances or wastes, air emissions or discharges to public or private
wastewater systems (the “Environmental Laws”), which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

    	102

     

    

 

(b)          neither
the Borrower nor any of its Material Subsidiaries has received written notice from any third party, including any Governmental
Authority, (i) that any one of them has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”)
as a potentially responsible party under CERCLA with respect to a site listed on the National Priorities List, 40 C.F.R. Part 300
Appendix B; (ii) that any hazardous waste, as defined by 42 U.S.C. §6903(5), any hazardous substances as defined by 42

any one of them has generated, transported or disposed of has been found at any site at which a Governmental Authority has conducted
or has ordered that the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries conduct a remedial investigation, removal or other response
action pursuant to any Environmental Law; or (iii) that any one of them is or will be named party to any claim, action, cause
of action, complaint or legal or administrative proceeding (in each case, contingent or otherwise) arising out of any third party’s
incurrence of costs, expenses, losses or damages of any kind whatsoever in connection with the release of Hazardous Materials,
which notice (or any related proceeding or other action) would have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(c)          except
where it would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no portion of the Real Estate has been used for the handling, processing,
storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials and no underground tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Materials
is located on any portion of the Real Estate; (ii) in the course of any activities conducted by the Borrower or its Material
Subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries, by any other operators of the Real Estate,
no Hazardous Materials have been generated or are being used on the Real Estate; (iii) there have been no unpermitted Releases
or threatened Releases of Hazardous Materials on, upon, into or from the Real Estate; (iv) to the knowledge of the Borrower
or any Material Subsidiary, there have been no Releases of Hazardous Materials on, upon, into or from any real property in the
vicinity of any of the Real Estate which, through soil or groundwater contamination, may have come to be located on the Real Estate;
and (v) any Hazardous Materials that have been generated on any of the Real Estate that are regulated as hazardous have been
transported offsite only by carriers having an identification number issued by the EPA (or the equivalent thereof in any foreign
jurisdiction), and treated or disposed of only by treatment or disposal facilities maintaining valid permits as required under
applicable Environmental Laws, which transporters and facilities have been and are, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Material
Subsidiary, operating in compliance with such permits and applicable Environmental Laws; and

 

(d)          except where it would not have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Material Subsidiaries is required
under any applicable Environmental Law to perform Hazardous Materials site assessments, or remove or remediate Hazardous Materials,
or provide notice to any Governmental Authority or record or deliver to other Persons an environmental disclosure document or statement
by virtue of the transactions set forth herein and contemplated hereby, or as a condition to the effectiveness of any other transactions
contemplated hereby.

5.17         Transactions
with Affiliates. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.17 or filings made by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under the
Exchange Act prior to the Closing Date, except for transactions permitted under Section 7.10 and except for arm’s
length transactions pursuant to which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon
terms no less favorable than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries could obtain from third parties, none of the officers, directors,
or employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is presently a party to any transaction with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries

director, trustee or partner.

 

5.18         Subsidiaries.
Schedule 1 (as updated from time to time pursuant to Section 6.16) sets forth a complete and accurate list of the
Subsidiaries of the Borrower, including the name of each Subsidiary and its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization. Each
Subsidiary listed on Schedule 1 is directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Borrower (except as noted in such Schedule).
The Borrower has good and marketable title to all of the Equity Interests it purports to own of each such Subsidiary, and each
Subsidiary of the Borrower has good and marketable title to all of the Equity Interests it purports to own of such Subsidiary,
free and clear in each case of any Lien. All such Equity Interests have been duly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.
Schedule 2 (as updated from time to time pursuant to Section 6.16), sets forth the Guarantors. Schedule 3

as of the Closing Date, of its Organization Documents, including any amendments thereto.

 

5.20         Disclosure.
Neither this Agreement, nor any of the other Loan Documents, nor any written document or information (other than of a general
industry or general economic nature) furnished by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection therewith contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the case of any
written document or information not furnished by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) necessary in order to make the statements
herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact known to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which materially adversely affects,
or which is reasonably likely in the future to materially adversely affect, the business, assets, or financial condition of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, exclusive of effects resulting from changes in general economic conditions, legal standards or
regulatory conditions; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time such
projected financial information was prepared and as of the date made available to the Agents or the Lenders (it being understood
that such projections are not to be viewed as fact and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which
are beyond the Borrower’s control, and that actual results may vary significantly from such projections).

hauling, recycling and disposal operations owned or operated by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have been obtained and remain
in full force and effect and are not subject to any appeals or further proceedings or to any unsatisfied conditions that may allow

the Borrower, the holder of such licenses or permits is in violation of any such licenses or permits, except for any violation
which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.23         [Reserved].

Borrower and its Subsidiaries is and will continue to be in compliance with all applicable provisions of the United States Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act 2010, the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada) and other similar
anti-corruption legislation in other jurisdictions.

5.26        Canadian
Pension Plans and Canadian Benefit Plans.

 

(a)           The
most recent actuarial report prepared and filed with a Canadian Governmental Authority for each Canadian Pension Plan administered
by a Credit Party, that (i) has a “defined benefit provision”, as that term is defined in the ITA; and (ii) is not
a “multi-employer pension plan”, as that term is defined in the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 or equivalent
provincial legislation, has been disclosed prior to the Closing Date, along with any more recently prepared cost certificate(s).

 

(b)           The
funding obligation of each Credit Party that is required to contribute to a Canadian Pension Plan that is a “multi-employer
pension plan”, as that term is defined in the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 or equivalent provincial legislation,
is limited to a fixed amount set out in one or more collective bargaining agreements and/or other agreements (other than interest,
damages and costs that may arise under the terms of those agreements in the event of any delinquent contributions).

 

(c)           All
employer and employee contributions and premiums required to be remitted or paid to, or in respect of, the Canada Pension Plan
or the Quebec Pension Plan, or any plan required under federal Canadian, provincial or territorial health, workers’ compensation
and employment insurance legislation have been remitted or paid in compliance with applicable Laws and regulations except that
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d)           No
Canadian Pension Plan that has a “defined benefit provision”, as that term is defined in the ITA, and that is administered
by a Credit Party: (a) has been terminated or is in the process of being terminated, in whole or in part (other than the distribution
of surplus assets attributable to a previous partial wind up under a Canadian Pension Plan); or (b) is subject to a Canadian Governmental
Authority’s order or notice of intended decision proposing to order a termination, in whole or in part. To the knowledge
of the Credit Parties, there are no circumstances existing that could reasonably be considered to cause a Canadian Governmental
Authority to order, or propose to order, such plan’s termination, in whole or in part.

 

5.27         Credit
Party’s Identification Numbers. As of the Closing Date, or as of such later date the Credit Parties updated such information

and Exchange Commission (http://www.sec.gov) (or, if applicable, the Canadian equivalent thereof) or on Borrower’s
Internet website as previously identified to the Agents and Lenders and (B) the Borrower has notified the Agents by electronic

    	108

     

    

 

Each of the Credit
Parties hereby acknowledges that (a) the Agents and/or the Arrangers may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to
the Lenders and the L/C Issuers materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively,
“Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on, IntraLinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar, or a substantially
similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public
Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related
activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that
are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum,
shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower
Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agents , the Arrangers, the L/C Issuers and
the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive
and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or their securities for purposes of United States Federal, Canadian Federal, provincial,
territorial and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information,
they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted
to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Agents
and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable
only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

 

6.05         Legal
Existence and Conduct of Business. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 7.04, the Borrower will, and will cause
each of its Material Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
its legal existence, legal rights and franchises; effect and maintain its foreign qualifications, licensing, domestication or
authorization except as terminated by the Borrower’s or its Material Subsidiaries’ board of directors (or similar
governing body) in the exercise of its reasonable judgment and except where the failure of the Borrower or its Material Subsidiaries
to remain so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and shall not become obligated under any contract or binding
arrangement which, at the time it was entered into would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will, and will cause its
Subsidiaries to, continue to engage primarily in the businesses conducted by it on the Closing Date and in related businesses,
except to the extent otherwise permitted under Sections 7.03 and 7.04.

 

6.06         Maintenance
of Properties. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to, cause all material properties used
or useful in the conduct of their businesses to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied
with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries may be necessary so that the businesses carried
on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing
in this section shall prevent the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any
of their properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, desirable in the conduct of
their business and which does not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

    	109

     

    

 

6.07         Insurance.
The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies,
funds or underwriters insurance of the kinds, covering the risks (other than risks arising out of or in any way connected with
personal liability of any officers and directors thereof) and in the relative proportionate amounts typically carried by reasonable
and prudent companies conducting businesses similar to that of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. In addition, the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries will furnish from time to time, upon the Agents’ request, a summary of the insurance coverage, which summary
shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and, if requested by the Agents, will furnish to the Agents
certificates evidencing such insurance and, with respect to the certificate evidencing liability insurance, naming the Agents
as the certificate holder thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to maintain
self-insurance programs of the kinds, covering the risks and in the relative amounts as more particularly described on Schedule
6.07.

 

6.08         Taxes.
The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before
any material penalty accrues thereon, all Taxes (other than Taxes which in the aggregate are not material to the business or assets

the time of such acquisition, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and such acquisition will not otherwise
create a Default or an Event of Default hereunder;

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this clause (a) with respect to any transaction that may be otherwise permitted by
this clause (a), (i) the Borrower shall not consummate any merger, consolidation or amalgamation in which it is not the

Financial Statements) over the term of this Agreement transferred in connection with an asset sale or swap, which sale or swap,
in the business judgment of the Borrower, will not have a Material Adverse Effect, (v) the sale, lease, assignment, transfer
or other Disposition of Receivables in connection with any Permitted Receivables Transaction and (vi) any sale and leaseback transaction

7.06         Restricted
Payments and Redemptions. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, make any Restricted Payments (provided,
however, that neither the exercise of common stock purchase warrants or options to purchase common stock on a “cashless”
exercise basis under the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ equity incentive plans shall constitute a purchase
or redemption of Equity Interests), except that (a) (i) any Credit Party may make any Restricted Payment to another Credit
Party and (ii) each Subsidiary may make Restricted Payments to the Borrower, any other Credit Party and any other Person that
owns an Equity Interest in such Subsidiary, ratably according to their respective holdings of the type of Equity Interest in respect
of which such Restricted Payment is being made, (b) the Borrower may make any Restricted Payment so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists or would be created by the making of such Restricted Payment (provided, that if as of the end of
any fiscal quarter in any fiscal year (and after giving effect to any Indebtedness incurred to finance such Restricted Payment,
if any), the Consolidated Group have on a consolidated basis a Leverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00, as determined
by reference to the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered to the Agents pursuant to Section 6.04, the Borrower shall
not make Restricted Payments in excess of the Distribution Limitation in the aggregate in such fiscal year, unless and until such
time as the Consolidated Group shall have on a consolidated basis a Leverage Ratio of less than 3.00 to 1.00 as determined by
reference to any subsequent Compliance Certificate delivered to the Agents pursuant to Section 6.04; provided further,
that if (x) the Borrower shall be prohibited from making Restricted Payments in excess of the Distribution Limitation in
the aggregate in any fiscal year as a result of the application of the foregoing Leverage Ratio and (y) the Borrower shall
have previously made Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount greater than or equal to the Distribution Limitation during such
fiscal year, the Borrower shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Section 7.06 as a result of such pre-existing
Restricted Payments but shall not make any additional Restricted Payments for the remainder of such fiscal year, unless and until
such time as the Consolidated Group have on a consolidated basis a Leverage Ratio of less than 3.00 to 1.00 as determined by reference
to any subsequent Compliance Certificate delivered to the Agents pursuant to Section 6.04) and (c) the Borrower may make
cash payments to its employees and non-employee directors pursuant to one or more profit sharing, equity incentive or other benefit
plan.

 

7.07         Employee

incur any excise taxes under Sections 4971, 4975, 4980B or 4980D of the Code which could reasonably be expected to result in a
material liability (and in any event not in excess of U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$35,000,000) for the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries; or

 

(b)           fail
to satisfy the Pension Funding Rules with respect to any Pension Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) which could reasonably
be expected to result in a material liability (and in any event not in excess of U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$35,000,000) for
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or fail to meet or seek any waiver of the minimum funding standards or incur any funding
shortfall (within the meaning of Sections 302 and 303 of ERISA or Sections 430 and 436 of the Code) with respect to any such Pension
Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability (and in any event not in excess of U.S. Dollar Equivalent
of U.S.$35,000,000) for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or

 

    	122

     

    

 

(c)           fail
to contribute to any Pension Plan to an extent which, or terminate any Pension Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) in a manner
which, could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a Lien securing material obligations (and in any event obligations
in excess of U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$35,000,000) on any assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section
303(k) or Section 4068 of ERISA or Section 430(k) of the Code; or

 

(d)           post
any security pursuant to Section 436(f) of the Code or fail to meet the minimum required contribution payment obligations under

result in a material liability (and in any event not in excess of U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$35,000,000) for the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries; or

 

(e)           permit
or take any action which would result in the aggregate benefit liabilities (within the meaning of Section 4001 of ERISA) of all
Pension Plans (other than any Multiemployer Plans) exceeding the value of the aggregate assets of such Pension Plans, disregarding
for this purpose the benefit liabilities and assets of any such Pension Plan with assets in excess of benefit liabilities which
could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability (and in any event not in excess of U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$35,000,000)
for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or

 

(f)           incur
any withdrawal liability within the meaning of Section 4201 of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which could reasonably
be expected to result in a material liability (and in any event not in excess of U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$35,000,000) for
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

or permit to exist any arrangement or agreement, enforceable under applicable law, which directly or indirectly prohibits the
Borrower or such Subsidiary from (a) making Restricted Payments to the Borrower or any other Credit Party or otherwise transferring
property to or investing in the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except for any such agreement or arrangement in effect at
the time such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of the Borrower, so long as such agreement or arrangement was not entered into solely

than customary anti-assignment provisions in leases and licensing agreements entered into by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in
the ordinary course of its business, in each case other than (A) any restriction with respect to a Subsidiary imposed pursuant
to an agreement entered into for the Disposition of the Equity Interests or assets of such Subsidiary permitted under the terms
of this Agreement pending the closing of such Disposition, (B) any restriction in the form of customary provisions with respect
to Disposition of Investments held by the Borrower or a Subsidiary and permitted under the terms of this Agreement, (C) restrictions

on any Receivables SPV or the Equity Interests, securities or other obligations thereof pursuant to customary documentation entered
into in connection with a Permitted Receivables Transaction, (E) any restriction pursuant to an agreement governing Indebtedness

of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such non-Subsidiary Affiliate or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such non-Subsidiary

any manner any term or condition of (a) any Indebtedness set forth in Schedule 7.01 in a manner materially adverse to the Lenders

the applicable repurchase.

 

7.14         Financial
Covenants.

 

(a)           Leverage
Ratio. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall permit, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Consolidated

of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a dollar-for-dollar basis as of such date in excess of U.S.$50,000,000 up to a maximum
of U.S.$200,000,000 (such that the maximum amount of reduction pursuant to this subclause (y) does not exceed U.S.$150,000,000)
to (ii) Consolidated EBITDA for the Reference Period ending on such date (the “Leverage Ratio”), to exceed
3.50:1.00; provided that in the event of an acquisition permitted under Section 7.03 and Section 7.04 having
an aggregate purchase price equal to U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$200,000,000 or greater which would result in a pro forma Leverage
Ratio (after taking into account all existing Consolidated Total Funded Debt and all Consolidated Total Funded Debt to be incurred,
assumed or repaid in connection with such acquisition) of 3.00:1.00 or higher, then, at the election of the Borrower, the foregoing
3.50:1.00 ratio shall be deemed to be 3.75:1.00 for the fiscal quarter in which such acquisition occurs and the three immediately
following fiscal quarters and the maximum permitted Leverage Ratio will thereafter revert to 3.50:1.00. The Borrower may utilize
this deemed Leverage Ratio increase no more than once in any four fiscal quarter period.

 

(b)           Interest
Coverage Ratio. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall permit, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of
the Consolidated Group, the ratio of Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Total Interest Expense, in each case for the Reference Period
ending on such date, to be less than 2.75:1.00.

 

7.15         Merger
Agreement. The Merger Agreement shall not have been altered, amended or otherwise changed or supplemented or any condition
therein waived without prior written consent of the Required Lenders to the extent any such alteration, amendment or other change
or waiver could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Lenders.

 

7.16         Sanctions.
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Credit Extension, or lend,
contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other individual or entity to
fund any activities of or business with any individual or entity, or in any Designated Jurisdiction, that, at the time of such
funding, is the subject of Sanctions, or in any other manner that will result in a violation by any individual or entity (including
any individual or entity participating in the transaction, whether as Lender, Arranger, Agents, L/C Issuers, Swing Line Lender,
or otherwise) of Sanctions.

 

    	125

     

    

 

7.17         Anti-Corruption

of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada), and other similar anti-corruption legislation in other jurisdictions.

 

7.18         Canadian
Pension and Benefit Plans.

the prior written consent of the Global Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries organized in Canada shall have any liability in respect of a new “multi-employer pension

such liabilities would exceed the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$10,000,000 in the aggregate;

 

(b)          Without
the prior written consent of the Global Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries organized in Canada shall establish, adopt or agree to contribute to any new Canadian Pension
Plan with a “defined benefit provision” (as that term is defined in the ITA) or acquire any Person who sponsors, maintains,
administers, or is or may be required to contribute to a Canadian Pension Plan with a defined benefit provision, if the hypothetical
wind up deficit in respect of the Canadian Pension Plans is estimated to exceed the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$10,000,000 in
the aggregate; or

 

(c)          Without
the prior written consent of the Global Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries organized in Canada shall take any action to effect the full or partial termination, or to
cause any Canadian Governmental Authority to order the full or partial termination, of any Canadian Pension Plan with a “defined
benefit provision” (as that term is defined in the ITA), if such full or partial termination is estimated to give rise to
a wind up deficit in excess of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of U.S.$10,000,000 in the aggregate.

such event or events, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(k)           any
of the Loan Documents is cancelled, terminated, revoked or rescinded, in each case other than in accordance with the terms thereof
or with the express prior written agreement, consent or approval of the Lenders, or any action at law, suit in equity or other
legal proceeding to cancel, revoke or rescind any of the Loan Documents is commenced by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries or any stockholder of the Borrower who is an officer or director of the Borrower, or any court or any other governmental
or regulatory authority or agency of competent jurisdiction makes a determination that, or issues a judgment, order, decree or
ruling to the effect that, any one or more of the Loan Documents is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with the terms
thereof;

 

(l)          
(i) the Borrower at any time legally or beneficially owns less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Interests of
each of the Credit Parties (directly or indirectly), or (ii) any person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section
13 or 14 of the Exchange Act) has acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission under said Act) of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Equity Interests of the Borrower entitled to
vote for members of the board of directors of the Borrower; or, during any period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, individuals
who were directors of the Borrower on the first day of such period cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors unless
such new directors were approved by a majority of the directors who were directors on the first day of such period; provided,
however, that any such change of control described in this clause (ii) resulting from an acquisition, merger, amalgamation
or consolidation permitted under Section 7.04 shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder provided
that such change of control does not involve any person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section 13 or 14 of the Exchange
Act) acquiring beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
said Act) of thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the Equity Interests of the Borrower entitled to vote for members of the board
of directors of the Borrower;

(m)          the
occurrence of a “Change of Control” under and as defined in any documents executed and/or delivered in connection any
Covenanted Senior Debt.

 

8.02         Remedies
Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Agents shall, at the request of, or may, with
the consent of, the Required Lenders:

 

(a)          declare
the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and purchase Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes and any obligation
of any L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

 

(b)          declare
the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Credit Parties;

 

(c)          require
that the Credit Parties Cash Collateralize the Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes or L/C Obligations (in an amount
equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto); and

 

(d)          exercise
on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers any other right or remedy available under any other Loan Document, at law,
in equity, under any other instrument, document or agreement or otherwise;

 

provided, however, that upon
the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries
under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Winding-Up and Restructuring Act (Canada)
or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), each as now and hereafter in effect, or any successors to such
statutes or any similar Debtor Relief Law that imposes any stay on the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or upon
the consummation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law under which a stay or similar injunction is requested, the obligation
of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of any L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate,
the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become
due and payable, and the obligation of the Credit Parties to Cash Collateralize the Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes
or L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Agents, any L/C Issuer
or any Lender.

 

The rights provided for in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided
by law, in equity, under any other instrument, document or agreement or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising.

 

    	129

     

    

 

8.03         Application
of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become
immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in
the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections
10.12 and 2.18, be applied by the Agents in the following order:

 

First, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Agents and amounts payable under Article III) payable to
the Agents in their capacity as such;

 

Second, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, Drawing Fees
and L/C Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements
of outside counsel to the respective Lenders and the respective L/C Issuer and amounts payable under Article III), ratably
among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

 

Third, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid L/C Fees, Drawing Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings
and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

 

Fourth, ratably
(a) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings and Obligations then
owing under Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Lenders, the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management
Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them, and (b) to the Global Agent
for the account of the Applicable Revolving Lenders, to Cash Collateralize all Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes;

 

Fifth, to the
applicable Agent for the account of applicable L/C Issuers, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of
the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Credit Parties pursuant
to Sections 2.06(c) and 2.18; and

 

Last, the balance,
if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

 

Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and
2.18, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth
above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash
Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other
Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the Outstanding Amount of all Bankers’
Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes shall be applied to the repayment of such Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes
on the Contract Maturity Date thereof in accordance with Section 2.05(e)(i). If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral
after all Letters of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes have either been fully repaid or Cash Collateralized,
such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

 

    	130

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations
arising under Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Agents
have not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Agents may request, from the applicable
Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to the Credit Agreement
that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted
the appointment of the Agents pursuant to the terms of Article IX hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender”
party hereto.

 

ARTICLE IX.          AGENTS

 

9.01         Appointment
and Authorization of the Agents. (a) Each of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby (i) irrevocably appoints (x) BOA Canada
to act on its behalf as the Global Agent, and (y) Bank of America to act on its behalf as the U.S. Agent, in each case hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) authorizes each of the Global Agent and the U.S. Agent to take such actions on its
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Global Agent and the U.S. Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of
the Global Agent, the U.S. Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and no Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary
of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan
Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Global Agent or the U.S. Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary
or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a
matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties

 

9.02         Rights
as a Lender. Any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “the Lenders”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder
in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as
the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or
any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders.

 

9.03         Exculpatory
Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

 

(a)           shall
be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

    	131

     

    

 

(b)          shall
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such
Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action
that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination
of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

 

(c)          shall,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated
to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and

 

(d)          shall
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary,
under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.02 and 11.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be
deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given in writing to such Agent
by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents
of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence
of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or
elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Global Agent or the U.S. Agent,
as applicable.

 

9.04         Reliance
by the Agents. Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet
or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. Each of the Agents also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it
to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with
any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by
its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, each of the Agents may presume that such condition
is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each of the Agents may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

    	132

     

    

 

9.05         Delegation
of Duties. Each of the Agents may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under
any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each of the Agents and any such sub-agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent,
and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein
as well as activities as the Agents. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to
the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with
gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

9.06         Resignation
of the Agents.

 

(a)          Either
Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such
notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which
shall be a bank with an office in United States and Canada, or an Affiliate or branch of any such bank with an office in the United
States and Canada. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required
Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on
behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that
in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation
shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

 

(b)          If
the Person serving as either Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required
Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person
as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required
Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

    	133

     

    

 

(c)          With
effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed
Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Global Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable,
is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and
each L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Global Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable,
is appointed as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Global Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable,
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the applicable
retiring (or removed) Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(h) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or
other amounts owed to the applicable retiring or removed Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date,
as applicable), and the applicable retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by
the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor. After any retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while
such retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues
to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with
transferring the agency to any successor Agent.

 

(d)          Any
resignation by BOA Canada as Global Agent or Bank of America as U.S. Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute their
respective resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. If BOA Canada resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective
date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders
to make Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, as applicable, or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.03(c). If BOA Canada resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided
for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including
the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to
Section 2.04(c). If Bank of America resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C
Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans, as applicable,
or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c). Upon the appointment by the Borrower of
a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender),
(i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of
their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements
satisfactory to BOA Canada or Bank of America, as applicable, to effectively assume the obligations of BOA Canada or Bank of America,
respectively, with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

    	134

     

    

 

9.07         Non-Reliance
on the Agents and the Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon either Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based
on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking
or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

 

9.08         No
Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender holding a title listed on the cover page hereof
shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,
as applicable, as the Global Agent, U.S. Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder.

 

9.09         The
Agents May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Credit Party, each of the Agents (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation
shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether either Agent shall
have made any demand on the Credit Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise;

 

(a)          to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations
and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Agents under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.10 and 11.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b)          to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to either Agent and, in the event that either Agent shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Lenders and each L/C Issuer, to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Agent under Sections
2.10 and 11.04. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize either Agent to authorize or consent to or accept
or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting
the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize either Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding.

 

    	135

     

    

 

9.10         Release
of Credit Parties. The Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank)
and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Agents to release any Credit Party (other than the Borrower) from its obligations
under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or, in the
case of a Transaction Subsidiary, such Transaction Subsidiary both (x) ceases to be a Transaction Subsidiary and (y) is not also
listed on Part I of Schedule 2. Upon request by the Agents at any time, subject to the provisions of Section 11.01(g),
the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agents’ authority to release any Credit Party from its obligations under
the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 9.10.

 

9.11         Cash
Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements. No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank
that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, the Guaranty by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty shall have any right
to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document other than
in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Agents shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory
arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements unless
the Agents have received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Agents may request,
from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

 

ARTICLE X.           CONTINUING
GUARANTY

 

10.01       Guaranty.
Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance
and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon
acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest,
premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Credit Parties to the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the
Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders, and whether arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document, any Cash
Management Agreement or any Hedge Agreement (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications
thereof and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Agents, the
L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof
pursuant to Sections 11.04(a) and 11.04(b)). Subject to Section 2.12, the Agents’ books and records
showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the
Guarantors, and conclusive (absent manifest error) for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations. The obligations
of each of the Guarantors under the provisions of this Article X constitute full recourse obligations of each of such Guarantors,
enforceable against each such Guarantor to the full extent of its properties and assets. This Guaranty shall not be affected by
the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations,
or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor (if any), or by
any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense (other than defense of payment)
to the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty, and each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it
may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the obligations of each applicable Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal
to the largest amount (i) that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as fraudulent transfer or conveyance
under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), or any comparable provision of any federal, provincial,
territorial or state or any other Debtor Relief Law, or, (ii) for PWS Luxembourg, that would not render its obligation unenforceable
as not being justified by the corporate benefit thereof.

 

    	136

     

    

 

10.02       Rights
of Lenders. Each of the Guarantors consents and agrees that the Borrower and the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks,
the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting
the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise
change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release,
fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security (if any given) for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations;
(c) apply such security (if any given) and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge
Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or
more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of
the Guarantors consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks
of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

 

10.03       Certain
Waivers. Each of the Guarantors waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any
disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor (in each case, other than defense of payment), or the cessation
from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank
and any Lender) of the liability of the Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed
or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s
liability hereunder consistent with applicable Law; (d) any right to proceed against the Borrower, proceed against or exhaust
any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Hedge Bank, any Cash
Management Bank and any Lender whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter (if
any) held by any Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank and any Lender; and (f) to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any and all other defenses (other than defense of payment) or benefits that may be derived from or afforded
by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each of the Credit Parties expressly waives
all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance,
protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect
to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional
Obligations.

 

    	137

     

    

 

10.04       Obligations
Independent. The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder are not merely as surety and are joint and several obligations
with each of the other Guarantors (without preferences or distinction among them) and are independent of the Obligations and the
obligations of any other Guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against any Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether
or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party and without first making any claim against the Borrower
or any other Guarantor.

 

10.05       Subrogation.
No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to
any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been paid
and performed in full and the Commitments and the Facilities are terminated. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation
of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge
Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks,
the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. If, for any reason,
any of the trusts expressed to be created in this Section should fail or be unenforceable, the affected Guarantor will promptly
pay or distribute the amounts equal to that receipt or recovery to the the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash
Management Banks and the Lenders for application in accordance with the terms of this Section.

 

10.06       Termination;
Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall
remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty, in each case, other than
contingent obligations (it being acknowledged for this purpose that obligations under a Hedge Agreement or a Cash Management Agreement
are not contingent liabilities) that survive payment in full of all principal, interest and fees under this Agreement are paid
in full in cash and the Commitments and the Facilities with respect to the Obligations are terminated, whereupon this guaranty
shall terminate automatically without further action required whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue
in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor is
made, or any of the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders exercises its right of
setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of
the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders in their discretion) to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such
payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the
Cash Management Banks and the Lenders are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation,
rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this
Guaranty.

 

    	138

     

    

 

10.07       Subordination.
In accordance with Section 11.23, each of the Guarantors hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness
of the Borrower and each other Guarantor owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not
limited to any obligation of the Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash
Management Banks and the Lenders or resulting from such Guarantor performance under this Guaranty, to the payment in full in cash
of all Obligations, to the extent not prohibited under applicable Law. If the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders so request
during the continuance of an Event of Default, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrower and each other Guarantor to
any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge
Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Agents for application to
the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

10.08       Stay
of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case
commenced by or against any Guarantor or the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless
be payable by such Guarantor immediately upon written demand by the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management
Banks and the Lenders.

 

10.09       Condition
of Borrower. Each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole
responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower and any other Guarantor such information concerning
the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other Guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and
that none of the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders has any duty, and such Guarantor
is not relying on the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders at any time, to disclose
to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor
(such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the
Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

 

10.10       Keepwell.
Each Credit Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guaranty hereunder, in each case, by any Specified Credit
Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Credit Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be
needed by such Specified Credit Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty and the other Loan
Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby
incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Article X voidable under
applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and
undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have
been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section
shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for
the benefit of, each Specified Credit Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

10.11       [Reserved].

 

10.12       Designation
of the Borrower as the Agent for the Credit Parties. For purposes of this Agreement, on and after the Closing Date, each Credit
Party (other than the Borrower) hereby designates the Borrower as the agent and representative of each Guarantor for all purposes
hereunder (including with respect to any notices, demands, communications or requests under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents)
and the Borrower hereby accepts each such appointment. The Agents and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication
pursuant to any Loan Document from the Borrower as a notice or communication from all the Credit Parties, and may give any notice
or communication required or permitted to be given to any Credit Party or the Credit Parties hereunder to the Borrower on behalf
of such Credit Party or the Credit Parties. Each Credit Party agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty,
covenant, agreement and undertaking expressly made on its behalf by the Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been
made by such Credit Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Credit Party to the same extent as if the same
had been made directly by such Credit Party.

 

10.13       Luxembourg
Guaranty Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, the aggregate maximum amount payable
by PWS Luxembourg in respect of the aggregate amount of its guaranty obligations under this Article X shall not include any obligation
which, if incurred, would constitute an abuse of assets as defined by article 171-1 of the 1915 Law, and shall be limited at any
time to an amount (the “Amount”) not exceeding the aggregate of:

 

		(a)	the aggregate of all principal amounts (if any) borrowed
directly or indirectly by or made available by whatever means to PWS Luxembourg from one or more other members of the Consolidated
Group that have been financed by a borrowing under the Existing Progressive Credit Agreement and/or this Agreement, plus

 

		(b)	90 percent of PWS Luxembourg’s net assets (capitaux
propres) and the subordinated debt (dettes subordonnées) owed by PWS Luxembourg to its shareholders (excluding
however any amounts taken into account under (a) above) (the “Luxembourg Subordinated Debt”), as determined
by article 34 of the Luxembourg law of December 19, 2002 on the Register of Commerce and Companies, on accounting and on annual
accounts of the companies (the “2002 Law”) at the date of this Agreement.

11.01       Amendments,
Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure

Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to pay interest or L/C Fees at the Default Rate

and, provided further, that
(i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by an L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required

approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires
the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting
Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of
such Lender, and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that
by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent
of such Defaulting Lender.

 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Section
11.01 to the contrary but subject to Section 2.15 (including those matters that may be addressed in a Conforming Amendment
without the requirement for additional consents pursuant to Section 2.15), this Agreement may be amended with the written
consent of the Required Lenders, the Agents and the Credit Parties (i) to add one or more additional revolving credit or term
loan facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit and all related obligations and liabilities arising in
connection therewith from time to time outstanding to share ratably (or on a basis subordinated to the existing facilities hereunder)
in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the obligations and liabilities from time to time outstanding
in respect of the existing facilities hereunder, and (ii) in connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed appropriate
by the Agents and approved by the Required Lenders, the Lenders providing such additional credit facilities to participate in any

or otherwise) arising out of the Credit Parties’ or either Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through
the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent that
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however,
that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Credit Party, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for

were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof,
as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Agents, each L/C Issuer,
each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance
by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Credit Parties, except in the case of any of the foregoing

or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. All telephonic

hereby consents to such recording.

Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Agent to exercise, and no delay
by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any
other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lender or either
Agent from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or the Swing Line

Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and
(d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.14, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders,

Bankers’ Acceptance, BA Equivalent Note, or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including
any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with
such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought
by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN
ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF
THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought
by the Borrower or any other Credit Party against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations
(if any) hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or any other Credit Party has obtained a final and nonappealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting or duplicating the provisions
of Section 3.01(c), this Section 11.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

(c)          Reimbursement
by the Lenders. To the extent that the Credit Parties for any reason fail to pay any amount required under subsection (a)
or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to either Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender
or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting their obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to
pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by
such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of
the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided, that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against either
Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of
any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in connection with
such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d).

 

(d)          Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Credit Parties shall not assert,
and hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability,
for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection
(b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission
systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e)           Payments.
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

 

(f)           Survival.
The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 11.02(e) shall survive the resignation of either
Agent, an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and
the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 

11.05       Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Credit Parties is made to either Agent, any L/C Issuer or
any Lender, or either Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such
setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the
extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each
L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to such Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered
from or repaid by such Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause
(b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

11.06       Successors
and Assigns.

 

(a)           Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and each Lender and no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance
with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions
of subsection (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and
void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this
Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

    	148

     

    

 

(b)          Assignments
by the Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection
(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)          Minimum
Amounts.

 

(A)         In
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans
at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such Assignments)
that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment
to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

(B)         In
any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which
for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agents or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,
as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than U.S.$5,000,000 unless each of the Agents and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(ii)         Proportionate
Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Revolving Commitment assigned, except that this clause
(ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

 

(iii)        Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this
Section and, in addition:

 

(A)         The
consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless they object
thereto by written notice to the Agents within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

 

(B)         The
consent of the Agents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person
that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

 

(C)         The
consent of the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Commitments.

 

    	149

     

    

 

(iv)        Assignment
and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agents an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of U.S.$3,500; provided, however, that, the Agents may, in their sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender,
shall deliver to the Agents an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

(v)         No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates
or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), (C) to a natural Person (or a holding company,
investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person), or (D) to any Person who is
not qualified to lend to the Borrower in the currencies required of Lenders in the applicable Class.

 

(vi)        Certain
Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such
assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the
assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agents in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate
(which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions,
including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agents, the applicable pro rata share of Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances
and BA Equivalent Notes previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee
and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting
Lender to either Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as
appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes and participations in Letters
of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance
with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes
of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

(vii)       Assignments
Among Classes. Subject to Section 11.06(b)(iii)(A), the Global Agent or U.S. Agent may reallocate the Revolving Commitments
among Classes in connection with any assignment of the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender of one Class to a Revolving
Lender of another Class; provided, that such assignment, and the reallocation of Loans and risk participations of any Class
in connection therewith, shall not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender to exceed its Revolving Commitment.
In such event, each Agent is hereby authorized by the parties to update Schedule 2.01 as applicable, to include reflect all such
assignments.

 

    	150

     

    

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Agents pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and,
in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and subject to the obligations
of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to
the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties,
no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that
Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to
the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply
with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights
and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

 

(c)          Register.
The Agents, acting solely for this purpose as agents of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain
at the Global Agent’s Office and U.S. Agent’s Office, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or
the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, BA Equivalent Notes and L/C
Obligations 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 Borrower, the Agents 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. The
Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrower, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for
a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Agents a copy of
the Register. Upon its receipt of and, if required, consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an Eligible Assignee, such Eligible Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required
by Section 3.01 (unless such assignee is already a Lender), together with the fee payable under Section 11.06(b)(iii),
the Agents will, on the effective date thereof, record the Assignment and Assumption on the Register.

 

(d)          Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agents, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit
of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries),
in each case, that is legally entitled to deliver the IRS form(s) and other documentation described in Section 3.01(e),
as applicable (as if it were a Lender), demonstrating a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to Laws in
effect on the date on which such Person acquires the participation (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the
Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or
Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) the Borrower, either Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender
shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

 

    	151

     

    

 

Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or
other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the obligations of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05
(subject to the requirements, required representations, and limitations in such Sections) and shall be subject to the mitigation
obligations and replacement pursuant to Section 3.06 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section
3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided, that such Participant (A) agrees
to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.06 and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph
(b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04,
with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled
to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the
Participant acquired the applicable participation, which Change in Law would have entitled the Lender from whom it acquired the
applicable participation to receive such greater payment. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s
request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06
with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though
it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant
Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments,
loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section
5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agents (in their
capacity as Agents) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

    	152

     

    

 

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

 

(f)          Resignation
as L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any
time Bank of America, BOA Canada and any other L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Committed Loans, Bankers’
Acceptances and BA Equivalent Notes pursuant to Section 11.06(b), Bank of America, BOA Canada, and any other L/C Issuer
may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) in the
case of BOA Canada, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender, as applicable. In the event
of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Multicurrency
Revolving Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the
Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America, BOA Canada and any other L/C Issuer as
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America, BOA Canada and any other L/C Issuer resign as L/C Issuer,
it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the
right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, or fund risk participations in
Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If BOA Canada resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights
of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective
date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable,
or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor
L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer
shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or
make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America, BOA Canada and any other L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations
of Bank of America, BOA Canada and any other L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

(g)          The
parties hereby agree that Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated may, without notice to the Borrower, assign its
rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other registered broker-dealer wholly-owned by Bank of America Corporation to
which all or substantially all of Bank of America Corporation’s or any of its subsidiaries’ investment banking, commercial
lending services or related businesses may be transferred following the date of this Agreement.

11.07       Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agree to maintain the confidentiality
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed, subject to the provisions set forth in this Section
11.07, (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent required or requested by any Governmental Authority, purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or
its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party
hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to
an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant
in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Acceding Lender
under Section 2.15(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or
other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments
hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or
the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance
and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with
the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result
of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to either Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose
the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the
lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary relating to the Credit Parties, any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses,
other than any such information that is available to either Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior
to disclosure by the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Credit
Parties or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential
(other than Information provided under Sections 6.04, 6.13, 6.14, 6.15, 6.18 or 7.14
(i.e., such Information provided under such sections does not need to be labeled confidential to be treated as confidential)).
Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information
as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

Each of the Agents,
the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledge that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning
the Borrower or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including
United States, Federal, Canadian Federal, state, provincial and territorial securities laws.

 

    	154

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, unless specifically prohibited by applicable Law or court order, each of the Agents, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and
each of their respective Affiliates shall, prior to disclosure thereof, notify the Borrower of any request for disclosure of any
such non-public information by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection
with an examination of such Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Affiliate by such Governmental Authority) or pursuant to
legal process.

 

The provisions of this
Section 11.07 do not apply to any proceedings between the parties to this Agreement.

 

11.08       Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after giving prior written notice to the Agents, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender,
such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Credit Parties or any of them against any and
all of the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Credit Party may be contingent
or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such
deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such
right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Global Agent or U.S. Agent, as applicable,
for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated
by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the
Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agents a statement describing in reasonable detail the
Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C
Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to
notify the Borrower and the Agents promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

11.09       Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be
paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law including,
but not limited to, the Criminal Code (Canada) (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Agents or any Lender shall
receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans
or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged,
or received by the Agents or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize
any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10       Counterparts;
Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute
a single contract. Except as provided in Section 4.01 or as provided in the applicable Loan Document, this Agreement or
such other Loan Documents shall become effective when they shall have been executed by the Agents and when the Agents shall have
received counterparts hereof or thereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement and any other Loan Document by facsimile or other electronic
imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

11.11       Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless
of any investigation made by either Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that either Agent or any Lender
may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect
as long as any Loan, Bankers’ Acceptance, BA Equivalent Note or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied
or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 

11.12       Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined
in good faith by the Agents, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to
be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

11.13       Replacement
of Lenders. If the Borrower is entitled to replace or remove a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or
if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the
Borrower the right to replace or remove a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
notice to such Lender and the Agents, terminate the Commitment, and repay the Loans on a non-pro rata basis, of such Lender and/or
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in,
and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant
to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided,
that:

 

    	156

     

    

 

(a)           the
Borrower or assignee Lender shall have paid to the Agents the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b)(iv) unless such
assignment fee is waived by the Agents in their sole discretion pursuant to Section 11.06(b)(iv);

 

(b)           such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances, BA
Equivalent Notes and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(c)           in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

 

(d)          such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

 

(e)           in
the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented
to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

 

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

Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 

(a)          GOVERNING

OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES

state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary
the Agents are under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed
to by the Agents pursuant to procedures approved by it.

 

11.17       Anti-Money
Laundering Legislation. Each Lender that is subject to the AML Legislation (as hereinafter defined) and the Agents (for itself
and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title
III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) and the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing
Act (Canada) (collectively, the “AML Legislation”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the Credit Parties and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Agents, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the AML Legislation.
The Credit Parties shall, promptly following a request by either Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information
that such Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer”
and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the AML Legislation.

 

11.18       No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Credit Parties
acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents,
the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Credit Parties and their Affiliates,
on the one hand, and the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders on the other hand, (B) each of the Credit Parties has consulted
its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of the Credit
Parties is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each Agent, each Arranger and each Lender is and has been acting solely
as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting
as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and

with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents; and (iii) the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Credit Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that they may have against
either Agent, any Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection
with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

11.19       ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED
BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG
THE PARTIES.

 

11.20       Judgment
Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other
Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Agents could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on
which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Credit Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agents or any
Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”)
other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be,
may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agents or any Lender from such Credit Party in
the Agreement Currency, such Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater
than the sum originally due to the Agents or any Lender in such currency, the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees
to return the amount of any excess to such Credit Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

 

11.21       Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in
any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of
any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may
be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges
and agrees to be bound by:

 

(a)          the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

 

    	160

     

    

 

(b)          the
effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

 

(i)          a
reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

 

(ii)         a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or
other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document; or

 

(iii)        the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.

 

11.22       Reserved.

 

11.23       Subordination
of Intercompany Indebtedness.  (a) Each of the Borrower and each other Credit Party, for itself and on behalf of each of
its Subsidiaries (each such Credit Party and Subsidiary, a “Subordinating Loan Party”), covenants and agrees,
in their respective capacities as issuers or holders of any principal, interest (including interest which accrues after the commencement
of any case or proceeding in bankruptcy or for the reorganization of any company), fees, charges, expenses, attorneys’ fees
and any other sum chargeable to any Subordinating Loan Party or due in respect of the aggregate unpaid amount of all advances,
indebtedness, loans, payables and other extensions of credit and obligations made by a Subordinating Loan Party to another Subordinating
Loan Party as holder (the “Intercompany Indebtedness”), that the payment of any Intercompany Indebtedness is
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 11.23, to the payment in full
of all Obligations and the termination of the Aggregate Commitments (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations
and (B) obligations and liabilities under Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Agreements) and the expiration or termination
of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Agents and the applicable
L/C Issuer shall have been made) (the “Discharge of the Senior Obligations”), and that the subordination is
for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders. Without limitation of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, (1) as to any Permitted Intercompany Financings, any Subordinating Loan Party may make and receive any (x)
payments of principal and interest, including, without limitation, prepayments of principal, (y) applicable expense or indemnity
payments payable in accordance with the terms thereof and (z) refinancings, replacements, renewals or extensions of such Permitted
Intercompany Financings to the extent permitted by this Agreement and subordinate to the Obligations in accordance with this Section
11.23 and (2) as to Intercompany Indebtedness other than Permitted Intercompany Financings, any Subordinating Loan Party may
make and receive any (x) regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest as and when due, (y) applicable expense or indemnity
payments payable in accordance with the terms thereof and (z) refinancings, replacements, renewals or extensions of such Intercompany
Indebtedness to the extent permitted by this Agreement and subordinate to the Obligations in accordance with this Section 11.23; provided,
that in the event that any Subordinating Loan Party receives any payment of any such Intercompany Indebtedness at a time when
such payment is prohibited by this Section, such payment shall be held by such Subordinating Loan Party, in trust for the benefit
of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to the Agents (provided that, in the event that the
Private Placement Notes or other senior unsecured Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.01 has the same obligation, the Borrower
shall be permitted to pay such payment or distribution to the applicable Agent and to the holders of such Private Placement Notes
or other senior Indebtedness on a pari passu basis, pro rata, based on outstanding principal amount (so long as such Private Placement
Notes or other senior Indebtedness contains a similar pari passu provision)).

 

    	161

     

    

 

(b)           Each of the Subordinating
Loan Parties, for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries, by its acceptance of any Intercompany Indebtedness, (i) authorizes
the Agents to demand specific performance of the terms of this Section 11.23 at any time when any holder of Intercompany
Indebtedness shall have failed to comply with any provisions of this Section 11.23 which are applicable to it and (ii) irrevocably
waives to the extent permitted under applicable law any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which might be asserted
as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

 

(c)           Upon
any distribution of assets of any Subordinating Loan Party in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization (whether
in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise): (i) the
Agents and the Lenders shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Obligations before any holder of Intercompany
Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment on account of such Indebtedness, (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of
any Subordinating Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which any such holder would
be entitled except for the provisions of this subsection 11.23(c), shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or
other Person making such payment or distribution directly to the applicable Agent, to the extent necessary to make payment in full
of all Obligations remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provisions therefor to such
Agent, for itself and the other Lenders, (iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection
11.23(c), any payment or distribution of assets of any Subordinating Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, shall be received by any such holder on account of Intercompany Indebtedness before the Discharge of the
Senior Obligations, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the applicable
Agent, for application to the payment of the Obligations, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision
therefor to such Agent (provided that, in the event that the Private Placement Notes or other senior unsecured Indebtedness
permitted under Section 7.01 has the same obligation, the Borrower shall be permitted to pay such payment or distribution
to the applicable Agent and to the holders of such Private Placement Notes or other senior Indebtedness on a pari passu basis,
pro rata, based on outstanding principal amount (so long as such Private Placement Notes or other senior Indebtedness contains
a similar pari passu provision)), and (iv) no right of the Agents to enforce the subordination provisions herein shall at any time
in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Subordinating Loan Party. If, for any reason,
any of the trusts expressed to be created in this Section 11.23(c)(iii) should fail or be unenforceable, the affected Subordinating
Loan Party will promptly pay or distribute any such payment or distribution of assets to the applicable Agent, for application
to the payment of the Obligations for application in accordance with the terms of this Section.

 

    	162

     

    

 

(d)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the foregoing subordination shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment
by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any of the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management
Banks and the Lenders exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff
or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by any of the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders
in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred regardless of any prior revocation,
rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 5.2.          Authorization,
Etc. This Agreement and the Series 2016 Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate (or equivalent company
or partnership) action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each
Series 2016 Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in

at law), and (b) to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to

Section 5.3.          Disclosure.
WCN, through its agent, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, has delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Private
Placement Offering Memorandum, dated April 2016 (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business of WCN and its Subsidiaries

contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the date and circumstances under which they were made; provided that, with respect to any projected
financial information, WCN and the Company, as applicable, represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based
upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time such projected financial information was prepared and as of the date made
available to the Purchasers (it being understood that such projections are not to be viewed as fact and are subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and that actual results may vary significantly
from such projections). Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2015 there has been no change
in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of WCN or any Subsidiary except changes that individually
or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to WCN or the Company
that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 6.          Representations
of the Purchasers.

 

Section 6.1.          Purchase
for Investment. (a) Each Purchaser severally represents that it is purchasing the Series 2016 Notes (i) for its own
account or (ii) for one or more separate accounts owned or maintained by such Purchaser or for the account of one or more
pension or trust funds that are “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation
D under the Securities Act), in each case for which it is exercising investment discretion in managing investments of such pension
or trust funds, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, provided
that the disposition of such Purchaser’s or their property shall at all times be within such Purchaser’s or their control.
Such Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer. Each Purchaser (and each such pension, trust fund or other Person) understands
that the Series 2016 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or qualified for distribution pursuant to a prospectus
under applicable Securities Laws in Canada and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act,
qualified for distribution pursuant to a prospectus under applicable Securities Laws in Canada or if an exemption from registration
or a prospectus requirement under applicable Securities Laws in Canada is available, except under circumstances where neither such
registration or prospectus nor such an exemption is required by law, and that the Company is not required to register or qualify
for distribution the Series 2016 Notes in any jurisdiction. Each Purchaser’s (and each such pension’s, trust fund’s
or other Person’s) financial position is such that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Series 2016
Notes. Each Purchaser (and each such pension, trust fund or other Person) can afford to suffer the complete loss of its investment
in the Series 2016 Notes. Each Purchaser’s (and each such other Person’s) knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters (or the knowledge and experience of such Purchaser’s or such other Person’s investment advisor)
is such that it (or such investment advisor) is capable of evaluating the risks of the investment in the Series 2016 Notes.
Each Purchaser is familiar with the existing and proposed business, operations, management, properties and financial condition
of the Company, as described in the public filings of the Company made with the SEC relating to the Company, including the Registration
on Form F-4 filed with the SEC relating to the Merger Transactions.

 

(b)          Each
Purchaser is familiar with the existing and proposed business, operations, management, properties and financial condition of the
Company, as described in the Memorandum. Each Purchaser that is purchasing the Series 2016 Notes on the date of the Closing
shall not be a resident of Canada. Each Purchaser further represents that it (and each such pension, trust fund or other Person)
has had the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and received answers concerning the existing and proposed business, operations,
management, properties and financial condition of the Company and the terms and conditions of the sale of the Series 2016
Notes. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no representations, express or implied, have been or are being made with respect to the
Company and its Subsidiaries, the Series 2016 Notes or otherwise, other than those expressly set forth herein or contemplated
hereby.

(c)          Each
Purchaser agrees to the imprinting of a legend on the Series 2016 Notes to the following effect:

 

“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. NO TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS NOTE
MAY BE MADE UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER SUCH ACT, AND SUCH REGISTRATION
OR QUALIFICATION AS MAY BE NECESSARY UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATIONS
AND/OR QUALIFICATIONS IS AVAILABLE UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS. EACH TRANSFEREE OF THIS NOTE, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS NOTE REGISTERED
IN ITS NAME (OR THE NAME OF ITS NOMINEE), WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT PURSUANT
TO WHICH THIS NOTE WAS ISSUED.

 

UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED UNDER
APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS IN CANADA, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE SOLD TO, PURCHASED BY OR RESOLD TO, A RESIDENT OF CANADA.”

 

Section 6.2.          Source
of Funds. Each Purchaser severally represents that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as
to each source of funds (a “Source”) to be used by such Purchaser to pay the purchase price of the Series 2016
Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder:

 

(a)          the
Source is an “insurance company general account” (as the term is defined in the United States Department of Labor’s
Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 95-60) in respect of which the reserves and liabilities (as defined
by the annual statement for life insurance companies approved by the NAIC (the “NAIC Annual Statement”)) for
the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan together with the amount of the reserves and
liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any other employee benefit plans maintained by the same
employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization in the general account do not exceed
10% of the total reserves and liabilities of the general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus surplus as set
forth in the NAIC Annual Statement filed with such Purchaser’s state of domicile, and the purchase is not part of an agreement,
arrangement or understanding designed to benefit a “party in interest” (as that term is defined in ERISA section 3(14))
within the meaning of PTE 95-60; or

(b)          the

Section 8.1.          Maturity.
 As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each tranche of Series 2016 Note shall become due and payable
on the respective Maturity Date thereof.

 

Section 8.2.          Optional
Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all,
or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount plus the
LIBOR Breakage Amount (unless the date of prepayment is an Interest Payment Date) determined for the prepayment date with respect
to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2

Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 18. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business

to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated
Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment),

to make any Additional Payments (as defined below) in respect of any payment on account of any of the Notes, the Company may give
the holders of all affected Notes irrevocable written notice (each, a “Tax Prepayment Notice”) of the prepayment
of such affected Notes on a specified prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
after the date of such notice) and the circumstances giving rise to the obligation of the Company to make any Additional Payments
and the amount thereof and stating that all of the affected Notes shall be prepaid on the date of such prepayment at 100% of the
principal amount so prepaid together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment but without payment of any Make-Whole
Amount, except in the case of an affected Note if the holder of such Note shall, by written notice given to the Company no more
than 20 days after receipt of the Tax Prepayment Notice, reject such prepayment of such Note (each, a “Rejection Notice”).
The form of Rejection Notice shall also accompany the Tax Prepayment Notice and shall state with respect to each Note covered thereby
that execution and delivery thereof by the holder of such Note shall operate as a permanent waiver of such holder’s right
to receive the Additional Payments arising as a result of the circumstances described in the Tax Prepayment Notice in respect of
all future payments on such Note (but not of such holder’s right to receive any Additional Payments that arise out of circumstances
not described in the Tax Prepayment Notice or which exceed the amount of the Additional Payment described in the Tax Prepayment
Notice), which waiver shall be binding upon all subsequent transferees of such Note. The Tax Prepayment Notice having been given
as aforesaid to each holder of the affected Notes, the principal amount of such Notes together with interest accrued thereon to
the date of such prepayment shall become due and payable on such prepayment date, except in the case of Notes the holders of which
shall timely give a Rejection Notice as aforesaid.

(b)          No
prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall affect the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Payments
in respect of any payment made on or prior to the date of such prepayment. For purposes of this Section 8.3, any holder of
more than one affected Note may act separately with respect to each affected Note so held (with the effect that a holder of more
than one affected Note may accept such offer with respect to one or more affected Notes so held and reject such offer with respect
to one or more other affected Notes so held).

 

(c)          The
Company may not offer to prepay or prepay Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 (i) if a Default or Event of Default then exists,
(ii) until the Company shall have taken commercially reasonable steps to mitigate the requirement to make the related Additional
Payments or (iii) if the obligation to make such Additional Payments directly results or resulted from actions taken by the Company
or any Subsidiary (other than actions required to be taken under applicable law), and any Tax Prepayment Notice given pursuant
to this Section 8.3 shall certify to the foregoing and describe such mitigation steps, if any.

 

(d)          For
purposes of this Section 8.3: “Additional Payments” means additional amounts (including any related indemnity)
required to be paid to a holder of any Note pursuant to Section 13 by reason of a Change in Tax Law; and a “Change
in Tax Law” means (individually or collectively with one or more prior changes) (i) an amendment to, or change in, any
law, treaty, protocol, rule or regulation of Canada or any other Taxing Jurisdiction after the date of the Closing, or an amendment
to, or change in, an official interpretation or application of such law, treaty, protocol, rule or regulation after the date of
the Closing which amendment or change is in force and continuing and meets the opinion and certification requirements described
below or (ii) in the case of any other jurisdiction that becomes a Taxing Jurisdiction after the date of the Closing an amendment
to, or change in, any law, treaty, protocol, rule or regulation of such jurisdiction, or an amendment to, or change in, an official
interpretation or application of such law, treaty, protocol, rule or regulation, in any case after such jurisdiction shall have
become a Taxing Jurisdiction, which amendment or change is in force and continuing and meets such opinion and certification requirements.
No such amendment or change shall constitute a Change in Tax Law unless the same would in the opinion of the Company (which shall
be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, which shall be delivered to all holders of the Notes prior to or
concurrently with the Tax Prepayment Notice in respect of such Change in Tax Law) affect the deduction or require the withholding
of any Tax imposed by such Taxing Jurisdiction on any payment payable on the Notes.

the Company in writing by a stated date (the “Sanctions Prepayment Response Date”), which date is not later
than 10 Business Days prior to the stated Sanctions Prepayment Date, of its acceptance or rejection of such prepayment offer. If

Prepayment Date with respect to each such Affected Note, but without payment of any Make-Whole Amount with respect thereto.

 

(c)          If
a Noteholder Sanctions Event has occurred but the Company and/or its Controlled Entities have taken such action(s) in relation
to their activities so as to remedy such Noteholder Sanctions Event (with the effect that a Noteholder Sanctions Event no longer
exists, as reasonably determined by such Affected Noteholder) prior to the Sanctions Prepayment Date, then the Company shall no
longer be obliged or permitted to prepay such Affected Notes in relation to such Noteholder Sanctions Event. If the Company and/or
its Controlled Entities shall undertake any actions to remedy any such Noteholder Sanctions Event, the Company shall keep the holders
reasonably and timely informed of such actions and the results thereof.

 

(d)          If
any Affected Noteholder that has given written notice to the Company of its acceptance of (or has been deemed to have accepted)
the Company’s prepayment offer in accordance with subparagraph (a) also gives notice to the Company prior to the relevant
Sanctions Prepayment Date that it has determined (in its sole discretion) that it requires clearance from any Governmental Authority
in order to receive a prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.4, the principal amount of each Note held by such Affected Noteholder,
together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment, shall become due and payable on the later to occur of (but in
no event later than the Maturity Date of the relevant Note) (i) such Sanctions Prepayment Date and (ii) the date that is 10 Business
Days after such Affected Noteholder gives notice to the Company that it is entitled to receive a prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.4
(which may include payment to an escrow account designated by such Affected Noteholder to be held in escrow for the benefit of
such Affected Noteholder until such Affected Noteholder obtains such clearance from such Governmental Authority), and in any event,
any such delay in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be deemed to give rise to any Default or Event of Default.

(e)          Promptly,
and in any event within 5 Business Days, after the Company’s receipt of notice from any Affected Noteholder that a Noteholder
Sanctions Event shall have occurred with respect to such Affected Noteholder, the Company shall forward a copy of such notice to
each other holder of Notes.

 

(f)          The
Company shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days, give written notice to the holders after the Company or any Controlled
Entity having been notified that (i) its name appears or may in the future appear on a State Sanctions List or (ii) it is in violation
of, or is subject to the imposition of sanctions under, any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws, in each case which notice shall describe
the facts and circumstances thereof and set forth the action, if any, that the Company or a Controlled Entity proposes to take
with respect thereto.

 

(g)          The
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.4 shall be in addition to any rights or remedies available to any holder of Notes that
may arise under this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of a Noteholder Sanctions Event; provided, that, if the Notes
shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1 as a result of the events, conditions or actions of the
Company or its Controlled Entities that gave rise to a Noteholder Sanctions Event, the remedies set forth in Section 12 shall control.

 

Section 8.5.          Allocation
of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount
of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable,
to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. All regularly scheduled partial prepayments
made with respect to any series of Additional Notes pursuant to any Supplement shall be allocated as provided therein.

 

Section 8.6.          Maturity;
Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note
to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together
with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date,
unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount,
if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered
to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of
any Note.

 

Section 8.7.          Purchase
of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly
or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (i) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement (including any Supplement hereto) and the Notes, and (ii) pursuant to a written offer to purchase any outstanding
Notes made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of the Notes upon the same terms and conditions. The Company
will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.8.          Make-Whole
Amount for the Series 2016 Notes. “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Series 2016 Note,
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal
of such Series 2016 Note minus the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event
be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

“Called Principal”
means, with respect to any Series 2016 Note, the principal of such Series 2016 Note that is to be prepaid pursuant
to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context
requires.

 

“Discounted
Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2016 Note, the amount obtained by discounting all
Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement
Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on
the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Series 2016 Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with
respect to such Called Principal.

 

“Reinvestment
Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2016 Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied
by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the
Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display
as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities
(“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as
of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average
Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent
yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yield(s)”
Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest
to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment
Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

 

If such yields are
not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment
Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S.
Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business
Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable
successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining
Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant
maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant
maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded
to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Series 2016 Note.

“Remaining
Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called
Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled
Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed
of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

 

“Remaining
Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2016 Note, all payments of such Called
Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment
of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date
on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Series 2016 Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding
scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on
such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

 

“Settlement
Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2016 Note, the date on which such Called Principal
is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1,
as the context requires.

 

Section 8.9.          Payments
Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the
requirement in Section 8.2 that notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment),
any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall
be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable
on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day,
the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional
days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 8.10.         Change
in Control. (a) Notice of Change in Control or Control Event.  The Company will, within 15 Business Days after
any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control or Control Event, give written notice of such
Change in Control or Control Event to each holder of Notes unless notice in respect of such Change in Control (or the Change
in Control contemplated by such Control Event) shall have been given pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.10. If
a Change in Control has occurred, such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes of each Series as described
in subparagraph (c) of this Section 8.10 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (g) of this
Section 8.10.

(b)          Condition
to Company Action. The Company will not take any action, directly or indirectly, that consummates or finalizes a Change in
Control unless (i) at least 15 Business Days prior to such action it shall have given to each holder of Notes written
notice containing and constituting an offer to prepay Notes as described in subparagraph (c) of this Section 8.10, accompanied
by the certificate described in subparagraph (g) of this Section 8.10, and (ii) contemporaneously with such action, it
prepays all Notes required to be prepaid in accordance with this Section 8.10.

 

(c)          Offer
to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 8.10 shall be an
offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.10, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder
(in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial
owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”).
If such Proposed Prepayment Date is in connection with an offer contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.10,
such date shall be not less than 20 days and not more than 30 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment
Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the 20th day after the date of such offer).

 

(d)          Acceptance;
Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.10 by causing a
notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company at least 5 Business Days prior to the Proposed Prepayment
Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.10 shall be deemed to
constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

 

(e)          Prepayment.
Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.10 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes,
together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment plus the LIBOR Breakage Amount (unless the date of prepayment
is an Interest Payment Date). The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date except as provided in subparagraph (f)
of this Section 8.10.

 

(f)          Deferral
Pending Change in Control. The obligation of the Company to prepay Notes pursuant to the offers required by subparagraph (b)
and accepted in accordance with subparagraph (d) of this Section 8.10 is subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control
in respect of which such offers and acceptances shall have been made. In the event that such Change in Control does not occur on
the Proposed Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the prepayment shall be deferred until and shall be made on the date on which
such Change in Control occurs. The Company shall keep each holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (i) any such
deferral of the date of prepayment, (ii) the date on which such Change in Control and the prepayment are expected to occur,
and (iii) any determination by the Company that efforts to effect such Change in Control have ceased or been abandoned (in
which case the offers and acceptances made pursuant to this Section 8.10 in respect of such Change in Control shall be deemed
rescinded).

(g)          Officer’s
Certificate.  Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.10 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed
by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date;
(ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.10; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be
prepaid; (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date;
(v) that the conditions of this Section 8.10 have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and
date or proposed date of the Change in Control.

 

(h)          Effect
on Required Payments. The amount of each payment of the principal of the Notes made pursuant to this Section 8.10 shall
be applied against and reduce each of the then remaining principal payments, if any, due pursuant to any Supplement by a percentage
equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so paid divided by the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding
immediately prior to such payment.

 

(i)          “Control
Event” Defined. “Control Event” means:

 

(A)         the
execution by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any agreement with respect to any proposed transaction or
event or series of transactions or events which, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a Change in Control,

 

(B)         the
execution of any written agreement which, when fully performed by the parties thereto, would result in a Change in Control, or

 

(C)         the
acceptance by the requisite number of holders of any written offer by any person (as such term is used in section 13(d) and section
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of the Closing) or related persons constituting a group (as such term is
used in Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of the Closing) to the holders of the common stock of the Company,
which would result in a Change in Control.

 

Section 9.          Affirmative
Covenants.

 

The Company covenants
that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

 

Section 9.1.          Punctual
Payment. The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal and interest on the Notes, fees and other
amounts provided for in this Agreement and the Notes, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes.

adequate accounts and reserves for all taxes (including income taxes), depreciation, depletion, obsolescence and amortization of
its properties, contingencies, and other reserves, and (iii) at all times engage an independent accounting firm of national

Section 9.3.          Legal
Existence and Conduct of Business. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 10.4, the Company will, and will cause each
of its Material Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
legal existence, legal rights and franchises; effect and maintain its foreign qualifications, licensing, domestication or authorization
except as terminated by the Company’s or its Material Subsidiaries’ board of directors (or similar governing body)
in the exercise of its reasonable judgment and except where the failure of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries to remain
so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and shall not become obligated under any contract or binding arrangement
which, at the time it was entered into would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries
to, continue to engage primarily in the businesses conducted by it on the date of the Closing and in related businesses, except
to the extent otherwise permitted under Sections 10.3 and 10.4.

 

Section 9.4.          Maintenance
of Properties. The Company will, and will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to, cause all material properties used or
useful in the conduct of their businesses to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with
all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof,
all as in the judgment of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries may be necessary so that the businesses carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times;  provided, however, that nothing in this section shall
prevent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of their properties if such
discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company or such Subsidiary, desirable in the conduct of their business and which does
not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 9.5.          Insurance.
The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies,
funds or underwriters insurance of the kinds, covering the risks (other than risks arising out of or in any way connected with
personal liability of any officers and directors thereof) and in the relative proportionate amounts typically carried by reasonable
and prudent companies conducting businesses similar to that of the Company and its Subsidiaries. In addition, the Company and its
Subsidiaries will furnish from time to time, upon the request of the Required Holders, a summary of the insurance coverage, which
summary shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders (it being understood that any such summary
of the insurance coverage delivered pursuant to the Bank Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Holders) and, if requested by the Required Holders, will furnish to the Required Holders certificates evidencing such
insurance. If the agents under the Bank Credit Agreement require that any certificate evidencing liability insurance name the agents
as the certificate holder thereunder, the Company shall cause any such certificate to also name the holders as the certificate
holder thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to maintain self-insurance
programs to the extent permitted under the Bank Credit Agreement.

Section 9.6.          Taxes.
The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before
any Material penalty accrues thereon, all Taxes (other than Taxes which in the aggregate are not Material to the business or assets
of the Company or any Subsidiary on an individual basis or of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) imposed
upon it and its real properties, sales and activities, or any Material part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom, as
well as all claims for labor, materials, or supplies, which if unpaid might by law become a Lien or charge upon any Material portion
of its property, unless such Lien is a Permitted Lien; provided, however, that any such Tax or claim need not be
paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company
or such Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto; and provided further,
that the Company or such Subsidiary will pay all such Taxes or claims forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose
any Lien which may have attached as security therefor.

 

Section 9.7.          Compliance
with Laws, Contracts, Licenses and Permits; Maintenance of Material Licenses and Permits.  The Company will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to (i) comply with the provisions of their Organization Documents, (ii) comply with the provisions
of all agreements and instruments by which they or any of their properties may be bound; and (iii) comply with all applicable
laws (including Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits) except, in the case of subsections (i) (solely for non-compliance
with the provisions of its Organization Documents by a Person other than the Company or a Material Subsidiary), (ii) and (iii),
where noncompliance with such Organization Documents, applicable agreements, instruments and laws would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. If at any time while any Note is outstanding, any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any Governmental
Authority shall become necessary or required in order that the Company or any Material Subsidiary may fulfill any of their obligations
hereunder, the Company will immediately take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps within the power of the Company or such
Material Subsidiary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Lenders with evidence thereof.

 

Section 9.8.          Environmental
Indemnification.  The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, jointly and severally covenant and agree
that it will indemnify and hold the holders harmless from and against any and all claims, expense, damage, loss or liability incurred
by the holders (including all costs of legal representation) relating to (a) any Release or threatened Release of Hazardous
Materials on the Real Estate; (b) any violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to conditions at the Real Estate or
the operations conducted thereon; (c) the investigation or remediation of offsite locations at which the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries, or its predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of Hazardous Materials; or (d) any Environmental
Liability related in any way to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. It is expressly acknowledged by the Company and its Subsidiaries
that this covenant of indemnification shall include claims, expense, damage, loss or liability incurred by the holders based upon
the holders’ negligence (but not gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment), and this covenant shall survive any foreclosure or any modification, release
or discharge of the Notes and this Agreement or the payment of the Notes and shall inure to the benefit of the holders and their
successors and permitted assigns.

(b)          The
Company will, and will cause each of its Canadian Subsidiaries to, withhold, pay or remit all Material employer and employee payments,
contributions and premiums required to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Canadian Pension Plan and Canadian Benefit Plan
in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable laws.

 

(c)          The
Company will, and will cause each Canadian Subsidiary to, deliver to the holders (i) promptly after receipt thereof, a copy
of any material claim, direction, order, notice, ruling or opinion that the Company or any Canadian Subsidiary may receive from
any applicable Canadian Governmental Authority or other claimant, except for regular claims for benefits with respect to any Canadian

its equivalent in the relevant currency); (ii) notification within 30 days of receipt of an actuarial report or accounting
disclosure report that discloses any increases having a cost to the Company or any Canadian Subsidiary in excess of $10,000,000

to any such plan to which the Company or any Canadian Subsidiary participating thereof was not previously contributing that can
be expected to give rise to an annual liability in excess of $10,000,000 (or its equivalent in the relevant currency).

 

(d)          The
Company will, and will cause each Canadian Subsidiary to, withhold, pay or remit all material employer and employee contributions
and premiums required to be remitted, paid to or in respect of the Canadian Pension Plan or the Quebec Pension Plan, or any plan

to Rank Pari Passu. The Notes and all other obligations under this Agreement of the Company are and at all times shall remain
direct and unsecured obligations of the Company ranking pari passu as against the assets of the Company with all other Notes
from time to time issued and outstanding hereunder without any preference among themselves, and at least pari passu with
all Indebtedness outstanding under any Material Credit Facility and all other present and future unsecured Indebtedness (actual

the Company, except to the extent that any Material Credit Facility becomes secured, then the Notes shall also become secured and
shall rank at least pari passu therewith. The Company will ensure that the payment obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor
under its Subsidiary Guaranty will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other

Section 12.         Remedies
on Default, Etc.

 

Section 12.1.          Acceleration.
(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(g) or (h) (other than an Event of Default described
in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such
clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become
immediately due and payable.

 

(b)          If
any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices
to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

 

(c)          If
any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the
time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company,
declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

 

Upon any Notes becoming
due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the
entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to,
interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount and LIBOR Breakage Amount determined in respect of
such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every
case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the
parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the
Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in
the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation
for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

 

Section 12.2.          Other
Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become
or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed
to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for
the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or Subsidiary Guaranty, or for an injunction against
a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or
otherwise.

Section 12.3.          Rescission.
At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders by
written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid
all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and LIBOR Breakage Amount, if any, on any Notes,
that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and LIBOR Breakage Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest
in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which
have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts
that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and
(d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission
and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

 

Section 12.4.          No
Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in
exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers
or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Note upon any holder thereof
shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity,
by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 16, the Company will pay to the holder
of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any
enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’
fees, expenses and disbursements and any Registration Duty.

 

Section
13.         Tax Indemnification; FATCA Information.

 

(a)          All
payments whatsoever under this Agreement and the Notes will be made by the Company in lawful currency of the United States of America
free and clear of, and without liability for withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes of whatever
nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction (other than the United States or any political subdivision thereof)
in which (i) the Company is then incorporated or resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or (ii) through which
payment is made by or on behalf of the Company (or, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), any political subdivision or taxing authority
of or in such jurisdiction) (hereinafter a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such
Tax is compelled by law.

(b)          If
any deduction or withholding for any Tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction shall at any time be required in respect of any amounts to be
paid by the Company under this Agreement or the Notes, the Company will pay to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction the full amount
required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay to each
holder of a Note such additional amounts, as additional interest on the Notes as may be necessary in order that the net amounts
paid to such holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Notes after such deduction, withholding or payment (including
any required deduction or withholding of Tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction on or with respect to such additional amount), shall be not
less than the amounts then due and payable to such holder under the terms of this Agreement or the Notes before the assessment
of such Tax, provided that no payment of any additional amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of:

 

(i)          any
Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such holder or beneficial
owner (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder or beneficial
owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the holder or
beneficial owner to whom the Notes or any amount payable thereon is attributable for the purposes of such Tax) and the Taxing Jurisdiction,
other than the mere holding of the relevant Note or the receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof or the exercise of
remedies in respect thereof, including such holder or beneficial owner (or such other Person described in the above parenthetical)
being or having been a citizen or resident or national thereof, having been organized under the laws thereof, or being or having
been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein;

 

(ii)         any
Tax that would not have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such holder or beneficial owner (following a written request
by, or by an agent of, the Company) in the accurate filing with the Company or the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of Forms (as defined
below) that are required to be filed by such holder or beneficial owner to avoid or reduce such Taxes (including for such purpose
any refilings or renewals of filings that may from time to time be required by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), provided
that the filing of such Forms would not (in such holder’s reasonable judgment) result in any confidential or proprietary
income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have
been lawfully avoided by such holder, and provided further that such holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements
of this clause (b)(ii) upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms (including refilings or renewals of filings)
as may be specified in a written request of, or an agent of, the Company no later than 30 days after receipt by such holder of
such written request (accompanied by copies of such Forms and related instructions, if any, all in the English language or with
an English translation thereof);

 

(iii)         any
Tax imposed under FATCA;

 

     -52-

     

    

 

	Waste Connections, Inc.	Note Purchase Agreement

 

(iv) any
Tax which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to the Notes;

 

(v) any
Taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the presentation of the Notes for payment more than 30 days after the relevant
payment is first made available for payment to the holder or beneficial owners (except to the extent the holder would have been
entitled to additional amounts had the note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);

 

(vi) any
Tax that would not have been imposed if the holder dealt, at the applicable time, at “arm’s length” with the
Company, and is not a “specified shareholder” of the Company or a person who does not deal at arm's length, with such
a specified shareholder, all within the meaning of the ITA; or

 

(vii)       any
combination of clauses (i) and (vi) above;

 

provided further
that in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay such additional amounts to any holder (i) not resident in the United States
of America or in any other jurisdiction in which an original Purchaser is resident for tax purposes on the date of the Closing
in excess of the amounts that the Company would be obligated to pay if such holder had been a resident of the United States of
America or such other jurisdiction, as applicable, for purposes of, and eligible for the benefits of, any double taxation treaty
from time to time in effect between the United States of America or such other jurisdiction and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction
or (ii) registered in the name of a nominee if under the law of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or the current regulatory interpretation
of such law) securities held in the name of a nominee do not qualify for an exemption from the relevant Tax and the Company shall
have given timely notice of such law or interpretation to such holder.

 

(c)          By
acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees, subject to the limitations of clause (b)(ii) above, that it will from time
to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly and accurately complete and deliver to or as reasonably directed by, or by an
agent of, the Company all such forms, certificates, documents and returns provided to such holder by the Company (collectively,
together with instructions for completing the same, “Forms”) required to be filed by or on behalf of such holder
in order to avoid or reduce any such Tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice
of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or of a tax treaty between the jurisdiction of the holder and such Taxing Jurisdiction and
(y) provide the Company and, if applicable, its agent with such information with respect to such holder as the Company may
reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms or comply with
any backup withholding and information withholding requirements, provided that nothing in this Section 13(c) shall
require any holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if in the opinion of such holder such Form
or disclosure of information would involve the disclosure of tax return or other information that is confidential or proprietary
to such holder, and provided further that each such holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this
paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly completed and delivered by such holder to the Company
and, if applicable, its agent or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority,
whichever is applicable, within 60 days following a written request of the Company
(which request shall be accompanied by copies of such Form and English translations of any such Form not in the English
language) and, in the case of a transfer of any Note, at least 90 days prior to the relevant interest payment date.

(d)          On
or before the date of the Closing, the Company will furnish each Purchaser with copies of the appropriate Form (and English translation
if required as aforesaid) currently required to be filed in Canada pursuant to Section 13(b)(ii), if any, and in connection
with the transfer of any Note the Company will furnish the transferee of such Note with copies of any Form and English translation
then required.

 

(e)          If
any payment is made by the Company to or for the account of the holder of any Note after deduction for or on account of any Taxes,
and increased payments are made by the Company pursuant to this Section 13, then, if such holder at its sole discretion determines
that it has received or been granted a refund, relief, remission or repayment of such Taxes, such holder shall, without unreasonable
delay, reimburse to the Company such amount as such holder shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be attributable to the relevant
Taxes or deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the holder of any Note to arrange
its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no holder of any Note shall be under any obligation to claim
relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of such Tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits
or deductions available to it or (other than as set forth in Section 13(b)(ii)) oblige any holder of any Note to disclose any information
relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof.

 

(f)          The
Company will furnish the holders of Notes, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the date of any payment by the Company
of any Tax in respect of any amounts paid under this Agreement or the Notes, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation
or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally
be kept in the possession of the Company, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory
evidence of payment), together with such other documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested
from time to time by any holder of a Note.

 

(g)          If
the Company is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of the taxation or other authority of any relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction, to make any deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of which the Company would be required to pay any additional
amount under this Section 13, but for any reason does not make such deduction or withholding with the result that a liability
in respect of such Tax is assessed directly against the holder of any Note, and such holder pays such liability, then the Company
will promptly reimburse such holder for such payment (including any related interest or penalties to the extent such interest or
penalties arise by virtue of a default or delay by the Company) upon demand by such holder accompanied by an official receipt (or
a duly certified copy thereof) issued by the taxation or other authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction.

 

(h)          If
the Company makes payment to or for the account of any holder of a Note, including for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section
13(g) and such holder is entitled to a refund of the Tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing (other
than a Form described above), then such holder shall, as soon as practicable after receiving written request from the Company (which
shall specify in reasonable detail and supply the refund forms to be filed) use reasonable efforts to complete and deliver such
refund forms to or as directed by the Company, subject, however, to the same limitations with respect to Forms as are set forth
above.

such Taxes imposed on or collected from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any such Taxes imposed or collected with
respect to any intercompany loan or other financing with or among Subsidiaries of the Company) resulting from such breach, and
(iii) the Company shall be entitled to treat the Notes as issued directly by a Subsidiary that is a United States person for
U.S. federal income tax purposes and make any deduction or withholding of U.S. federal income tax accordingly and on the basis
of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to this Section 13(j).

in Section 6.3 or this Section 13(j) shall be in reference to both the holders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any
nominees) and beneficial owners of the Notes as of the date of Closing and any subsequent holders and beneficial owners, respectively.

 

Section 14.         Registration;
Exchange; Substitution of Notes.

 

Section 14.1.          Registration

by an agent of the Company) for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes (including pursuant to Section 22).

interest owing to each holder of the Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address (including e-mail address, if applicable)
of, and the principal amount and stated interest of the Notes owing to, each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered
in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered
shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any
notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall (or shall cause its agent to) give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional
Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.
No service charge will be imposed on any holder of a Note for any exchange or registration of transfer, but the Company may require
payment by the relevant holder of sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with such registration of transfer or exchange to a Person other than the Company or its Affiliates.

 

Section 14.2.          Transfer
and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer

of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee
of such Note or part thereof) within ten Business Days thereafter the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s
expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes of the same series (and of the same tranche if such series has multiple
tranches) as requested by the holder thereof in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal
amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially
in the form of Exhibit 1(a), Exhibit 1(b) or Exhibit 1(c) hereto or Exhibit 1 of the appropriate Supplement,
as applicable. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the

payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes
shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer
by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance
of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Sections 6.1(a),
6.2 and 6.3, and the Company shall not be obligated to register any Note in the name of any transferee who cannot make the representations
set forth in Sections 6.1(a), 6.2 and 6.3 or with respect to any transfer that would result in a “prohibited transaction”
within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA.

Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

 

within ten Business Days thereafter the
Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same series (and of the same tranche if

Section 15.2.          Home
Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or such Purchaser’s nominee or such Additional Purchaser’s

the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount or LIBOR Breakage Amount, if any, interest
and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s
name in Schedule A hereto, or, in the case of any Additional Purchaser’s Schedule A attached to any Supplement
pursuant to which such Additional Purchaser is a party, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser or Additional
Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender
of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably
promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser shall surrender such Note for
cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment
most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 15.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held

to Section 14.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the
direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating
to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 15.2.

other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other
than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or an Additional Purchaser or other holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes).
If required by the NAIC, the Company shall obtain and maintain at its own cost and expense a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). For
the avoidance of doubt, costs and expenses shall include any Registration Duty. This Section 16.1 shall not apply with respect

whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any
obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 21.         Confidential
Information.

 

For the purposes of
this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser or any Additional Purchaser
by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this
Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received
by such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided
that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser or such Additional
Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure; (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such
Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s or such Additional Purchaser’s behalf,
provided that such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser does not have any actual knowledge that such source is bound by
a confidentiality agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary or is otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to
such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser by contract or legal obligation; (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser or such
Additional Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary; or (d) constitutes financial statements
delivered to such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser
and each Additional Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures
adopted by such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered
to such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser may deliver or disclose
Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent
such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial
advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance
with the terms of this Section 21, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which
it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior
to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 21), (v) any Person from
which it offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential
Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 21), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization,
or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s or such Additional
Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or
appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser or such Additional
Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such
Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent
such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate
in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s or such Additional Purchaser’s
Notes, this Agreement or any Subsidiary Guaranty and to the extent the Company has been given prior written notice (to the extent
legally permissible) and the opportunity to object to such disclosure. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will
be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to
this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required
to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement
or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 21.

In the event that as
a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions
contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser, Additional Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to
agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise)
which is different from this Section 21, Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser, Additional
Purchaser or such holder and the Company, Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

 

Section 22.         Substitution
of Purchaser.

 

Each Purchaser and
each Additional Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has
agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser or such Additional
Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a
confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt
of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22),
shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser. In the event
that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser or an Additional Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers
to such original Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by
the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” or an “Additional Purchaser”
in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to
such original Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser, and such original Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser
shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

 

Section 23.         Miscellaneous.

 

Section 23.1.          Successors
and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement (including all covenants and other agreements contained
in any Supplement) by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and
permitted assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 23.2.          Accounting
Terms. (a) Generally. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings
respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made
pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance
with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9, Section 10
and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company to measure any financial liability using
fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair
Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been
made.

 

(b)          Changes
in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in
this Agreement, and either the Company or the Required Holders shall so request, the holders and the Company shall negotiate in
good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject
to the approval of the Required Holders); provided, that until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue
to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the holders financial
statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation
between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Without limiting
the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with that reflected in the Audited
Financial Statements for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the parties
hereto shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes, as provided for above.

 

(c)          Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities. All references herein to consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries
or to the determination of any amount for the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference shall,
in each case, be deemed to include each variable interest entity that the Company is required to consolidate pursuant to the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 810 as if such variable interest entity were a Subsidiary
as defined herein.

 

Section 23.3.          Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement that 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 (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 23.4.          Construction,
Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each
other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision)
be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person,
or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly
by such Person.

 

Defined terms herein
shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall
include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including”
shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to
have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition
of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument
or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments,
supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution
therefor pursuant to Section 14, (b) subject to Section 23.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed
to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof”
and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not
to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections
of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified,
refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

 

For the avoidance of
doubt, all Schedules, Exhibits and Supplements attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

 

Section 23.5.          Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall
constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together
signed by all, of the parties hereto.

 

Section 23.6.          Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by,
the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application
of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

 

Section 23.7.          Jurisdiction
and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State
or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and
agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any
such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought
in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum.

(b)          The
Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the
nature referred to in Section 23.7(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights
of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any
other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

 

(c)          The
Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature
referred to in Section 23.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested (or any
substantially similar form of mail) postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation requested, or delivering a copy thereof
in the manner for delivery of notices specified in Section 19, to Waste Connections US, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as its
agent for the purpose of accepting service of any process in the United States. The Company agrees that such service upon receipt
(i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to
it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States
Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

 

(d)          Nothing
in this Section 23.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any
right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction
or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

 

(e)          The
parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document
executed in connection herewith or therewith.

 

Section 23.8.          Obligation
to Make Payment in Dollars. Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under the Notes in Dollars which
is made to or for the account of any holder in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement
thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of the Company, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of
the Company under this Agreement or the Notes only to the extent of the amount of Dollars which such holder could purchase in the
foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures
at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount
of Dollars that could be so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars originally due to such holder, the Company agrees to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of
or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate
and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent
cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such holder from time to time and shall continue in full
force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under the
Notes or under any judgment or order. As used herein the term “London Banking Day” shall mean any day other
than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in London, England.

Section 23.9.          Interest
Act (Canada). (a) To the extent permitted under applicable law, any provision of the Interest Act (Canada) or the Judgment
Interest Act (Alberta) which restricts any rate of interest set forth herein shall be inapplicable to this Agreement and is
hereby waived by the Company.

 

(b)          The
theory of deemed reinvestment shall not apply to the calculation of interest or payment of fees or other amounts hereunder, notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement, acceptance or other evidence of indebtedness or in any other agreement relating to the Notes
now or hereafter taken by any holder for the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, or any other instrument referred
to herein, and all interest and fees payable by the Company to the holders, shall accrue from day to day, computed as described
herein or in the Notes in accordance with the “nominal rate” method of interest calculation.

 

(c)          Where,
in this Agreement or in the Notes, any rate of interest, fees or discount is to be calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year,
such rate is, for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to the said rate (i) multiplied by the actual
number of days in the one year period beginning on the first day of the period of calculation and (ii) divided by 365 or 366,
as applicable. Where, in this Agreement, any rate of interest, fees or discount is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year,
such rate is, for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to the said rate (i) multiplied by the actual
number of days in the one year period beginning on the first day of the period of calculation and (ii) divided by 360.

 

Section 23.10.         Subordination
of Intercompany Indebtedness. (a) The Company, for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Subordinating
Note Party”), covenants and agrees, in their respective capacities as issuers or holders of any principal, interest (including
interest which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding in bankruptcy or for the reorganization of any company),
fees, charges, expenses, attorneys’ fees and any other sum chargeable to any Subordinating Note Party or due in respect of
the aggregate unpaid amount of all advances, indebtedness, loans, payables and other extensions of credit and obligations made
by a Subordinating Note Party to another Subordinating Note Party as holder (the “Intercompany Indebtedness”),
that the payment of any Intercompany Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided
in this Section 23.10, to the payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty and the Notes
(collectively, the “Obligations”), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of the Notes.
Without limitation of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (1) as to any Permitted Intercompany
Financings, any Subordinating Note Party may make and receive any (x) payments of principal and interest, including, without limitation,
prepayments of principal, (y) applicable expense or indemnity payments payable in accordance with the terms thereof and (z) refinancings,
replacements, renewals or extensions of such Permitted Intercompany Financings to the extent permitted by this Agreement and subordinate
to the Obligations in accordance with this Section 23.10 and (2) as to Intercompany Indebtedness other than Permitted Intercompany
Financings, any Subordinating Note Party may make and receive any (x) regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest as
and when due, (y) applicable expense or indemnity payments payable in accordance with the terms thereof and (z) refinancings, replacements,
renewals or extensions of such Intercompany Indebtedness to the extent permitted by this Agreement and subordinate to the Obligations
in accordance with this Section 23.10; provided, that in the event that any Subordinating Note Party receives
any payment of any such Intercompany Indebtedness at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Section, such payment shall
be held by such Subordinating Note Party, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written
request, to the holders of Notes (provided that, in the event that any other holder of senior Indebtedness permitted under
this Agreement has the same right to receive such payments, the Company shall be permitted to pay such payment or distribution
to the applicable agent and to the holders of such other senior Indebtedness on a pari passu basis, pro rata, based on outstanding
principal amount (so long as such other senior Indebtedness contains a similar pari passu provision)).

(b)          Each
of the Subordinating Note Parties, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, by its acceptance of any Intercompany Indebtedness,
(i) authorizes the Required Holders to demand specific performance of the terms of this Section 23.10 at any time when
any holder of Intercompany Indebtedness shall have failed to comply with any provisions of this Section 23.10 which are applicable
to it and (ii) irrevocably waives to the extent permitted under applicable law any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy
at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

 

(c)          Upon
any distribution of assets of any Subordinating Note Party in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization (whether
in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise): (i) the
holders of the Notes shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Obligations before any holder of Intercompany
Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment on account of such Intercompany Indebtedness; (ii) any payment or distribution
of assets of any Subordinating Note Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which any such
holder of Intercompany Indebtedness would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 23.10(c), shall be paid by
the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution directly to the holders of the Notes, to the
extent necessary to make payment in full of all Obligations remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
or provisions therefor to the holders of the Notes; (iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 23.10(c),
any payment or distribution of assets of any Subordinating Note Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
shall be received by any such holder of Intercompany Indebtedness on account of Intercompany Indebtedness before the discharge
of the Obligations, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the holders
of the Notes, for application to the payment of the Obligations, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
or provision therefor to such holders of the Notes (provided that, in the event that any other holder of senior Indebtedness
permitted under this Agreement has the same right to receive such payments, the Company shall be permitted to pay such payment
or distribution to the applicable agent and holders of such other senior Indebtedness on a pari passu basis, pro rata, based on
outstanding principal amount (so long as such other senior Indebtedness contains a similar pari passu provision)), and (iv) no
right of the holders of the Notes to enforce the subordination provisions herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Subordinating Note Party. If, for any reason, any of the trusts expressed
to be created in this Section 23.10(c)(iii) should fail or be unenforceable, the affected Subordinating Note Party will promptly
pay or distribute any such payment or distribution of assets to the holders of the Notes for application to the payment of the
Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Section.

(d)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the foregoing subordination shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment
by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is made and such payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the holders
of the Notes in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under
any debtor relief law or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination
or reduction. The obligations under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
