      date, and (ii) thereafter, Category VIII (in the case of clause (a) above)

      following sentence), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have
      established a rating in Category VIII (in the case of clause (a) above) or
      Category II (in the case of clause (b) above). If the rating system of
      Moody's or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease
      to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the U.S.
      Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this
      definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of
      ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such
      amendment, the rating of the Index Debt shall be determined by reference
      to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
      The Applicable Margin shall be determined on the basis of the applicable
      Leverage Ratio or applicable Index Debt rating level, as the case may be,
      that yields the lowest pricing.

to any of the Borrowers upon change by the Canadian Administrative Agent, and
(b) 1% above the CDOR Rate from time to time (and in effect on such day), as
advised by the Canadian Administrative Agent to the Canadian Borrower from time
to time pursuant hereto. The Prime Rate is not intended to be the lowest rate of
interest charged by the Canadian Administrative Agent in connection with
extensions of credit in Canadian Dollars to debtors.

the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and each U.S. Revolving Lender's share thereof.

            (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each U.S.
Revolving Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 2.2(b) shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and

reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any
prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Available U.S.
Revolving Credit Commitment or Available Multicurrency Commitment of any U.S.
Revolving Lender, or the Available Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment of any
Canadian Lender, would be less than zero. Any such reduction shall be in an
amount equal to $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and
shall reduce permanently the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

            2.5 Borrowings of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and Refunding of
Loans. (a)If on any Borrowing Date on which the Canadian Borrower has requested
the Canadian Lenders to make Canadian Revolving Credit Loans (the "Requested
Canadian Revolving Credit Loans") or to create Acceptances (the "Requested
Acceptances"), (i) the sum of (A) the principal amount of the Requested Canadian
Revolving Credit Loans to be made by any Canadian Lender and (B) the aggregate
undiscounted face amount of the Requested Acceptances to be created by such
Canadian Lender exceeds the Available Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment of
such Canadian Lender on such Borrowing Date (before giving effect to the making

such Borrowing Date) and (ii) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such
excess is less than or equal to the aggregate Available U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitments of all Non-Canadian Lenders (before giving effect to the making and
payment of any Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.5 on such Borrowing Date),
each Non-Canadian Lender shall make a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan to the U.S.
Borrower on such Borrowing Date, and the proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Credit
Loans shall be simultaneously applied to repay outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit
Loans and/or Multicurrency Loans of the U.S. Common Lenders (as directed by the
U.S. Borrower) in each case in amounts such that, after giving effect to (1)
such borrowings and repayments and (2) the borrowing from the Canadian Lenders
of the Requested Canadian Revolving Credit Loans or the creation by the Canadian
Lenders of the Requested Acceptances, the Committed Revolving Outstandings
Percentage of each U.S. Revolving Lender will equal (as nearly as possible) its
U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. To effect such borrowings and
repayments, (x) not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on such Borrowing
Date, the proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall be made available

Borrowing Date, (I) the Canadian Lenders shall, in accordance with the
applicable provisions hereof, make the Requested Canadian Revolving Credit Loans
(or create the Requested Acceptances) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount
so requested by the Canadian Borrower (but not in any event greater than the
Aggregate Available Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to
the making of such repayment of any Loans on such Borrowing Date) and (II) the
relevant Borrower shall pay to the General Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders whose Loans to such Borrower are repaid on such Borrowing Date
pursuant to this subsection 2.5 all interest accrued on the amounts repaid to
the date of repayment, together with any amounts payable pursuant to subsection
9.11 in connection with such repayment.

            (b) If on any Borrowing Date on which a Borrower has requested the
Multicurrency Lenders to make Multicurrency Loans (the "Requested Multicurrency

2.5 on such Borrowing Date) and (ii) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of
such excess is less than or equal to the aggregate Available U.S. Revolving
Credit Commitments of all Non-Multicurrency Lenders (before

giving effect to the making and payment of any Loans pursuant to this subsection
2.5 on such Borrowing Date), each Non-Multicurrency Lender shall make a U.S.
Revolving Credit Loan to the U.S. Borrower on such Borrowing Date, and the
proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall be simultaneously applied to
repay outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans, Canadian Revolving Credit Loans
and/or Multicurrency Loans of the Multicurrency Lenders or their Counterpart
Lenders (as directed by the U.S. Borrower) in each case in amounts such that,
after giving effect to (1) such borrowings and repayments and (2) the borrowing
from the Multicurrency Lenders of the Requested Multicurrency Loans, the
Committed Revolving Outstandings Percentage of each U.S. Revolving Lender will
equal (as nearly as possible) its U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.
To effect such borrowings and repayments, (x) not later than 12:00 Noon, New
York City time, on such Borrowing Date, the proceeds of such U.S. Revolving
Credit Loans shall be made available by each Non-Multicurrency Lender to the
General Administrative Agent at its office specified in subsection 17.2 in U.S.
Dollars and in immediately available funds and the General Administrative Agent

outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans, Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and/or
Multicurrency Loans of the Multicurrency Lenders or their Counterpart Lenders
(as directed by the U.S. Borrower) and (y) concurrently with the repayment of
such Loans on such Borrowing Date, (I) the Multicurrency Lenders shall, in
accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, make the Requested
Multicurrency Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount so requested by
such Borrower (but not in any event greater than the Aggregate Available
Multicurrency Commitments after giving effect to the making of such repayment of
any Loans on such Borrowing Date) and (II) the relevant Borrower shall pay to
the General Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders whose Loans to
such Borrower are repaid on such Borrowing Date pursuant to this subsection 2.5
all interest accrued on the amounts repaid to the date of repayment, together
with any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 9.11 in connection with such
repayment.

            (c) If on any date on which the U.S. Borrower has requested an
Issuing Lender to issue a Letter of Credit (the "Requested Letter of Credit";
the date on which such Requested Letter of Credit is to be issued, the "Issuance
Date"), (i) the Available U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment of any U.S. Revolving
Lender (each such Lender, a "Specified Lender") would be equal to or less than
zero (after giving effect to the issuance of such Requested Letter of Credit,
but before giving effect to the making and payment of any Loans required to be
made pursuant to this subsection 2.5 on such Issuance Date) and (ii) the U.S.
Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount by which the Available U.S. Revolving
Credit Commitments of all Specified Lenders would be less than zero is less than
or equal to the aggregate Available U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of all
U.S. Revolving Lenders (before giving effect to the making and payment of any
Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.5 on such Issuance Date), each U.S.
Revolving Lender other than a Specified Lender shall make a U.S. Revolving
Credit Loan to the U.S. Borrower on such Issuance Date, and the proceeds of such
U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall be simultaneously applied to repay outstanding

Multicurrency Loans of the Specified Lenders or their Counterpart Lenders (as
directed by the U.S. Borrower) in each case in amounts such that, after giving
effect to (1) such borrowings and repayments and (2) the issuance of the
Requested Letter of Credit, the Committed Revolving Outstandings Percentage of
each U.S. Revolving Lender will equal (as nearly as possible) its U.S. Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage. To effect such borrowings, issuance and
repayments, (x) not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on such Issuance
Date, the proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall be made available
by each U.S. Revolving Lender other than a Specified Lender to the General
Administrative Agent at its office specified in subsection 17.2 in U.S. Dollars
and in immediately available funds and the General Administrative Agent shall
apply the proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Credit Loans toward repayment of
outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit Loans, Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and/or
Multicurrency Loans of the Specified Lenders or their Counterpart Lenders (as
directed by

the U.S. Borrower) and (y) concurrently with the repayment of such
Loans on such Issuance Date, (I) the relevant Issuing Lender shall, in
accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, issue the Requested Letter of
Credit and (II) the relevant Borrower shall pay to the General Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders whose Loans to such Borrower are repaid on
such Issuance Date pursuant to this subsection 2.5 all interest accrued on the
amounts repaid to the date of repayment, together with any amounts payable

Loans required to be made pursuant to this subsection 2.5 on such Borrowing
Date) and (ii) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such excess is less
than or equal to the aggregate Available U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of

any Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.5 on such Borrowing Date), each
Non-Multicurrency Lender shall make a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan to the U.S.
Borrower on such Borrowing Date, and the proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Credit
Loans shall be simultaneously applied to repay outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit
Loans, Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and/or Multicurrency Loans of the

Borrower) in amounts such that, after giving effect to (1) such borrowings and
repayments and (2) the borrowing from the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender of the
Requested Swing Line Multicurrency Loans, the Committed Revolving Outstandings
Percentage of each U.S. Revolving Lender will equal (as nearly as possible) its
U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. To effect such borrowings and
repayments, (x) not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on such Borrowing

such Borrower are repaid on such Borrowing Date pursuant to this subsection 2.5
all interest accrued on the amounts repaid to the date of repayment, together
with any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 9.11 in connection with such
repayment.

            (e) If any borrowing of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans is required
pursuant to this subsection 2.5, the U.S. Borrower shall notify the General
Administrative Agent in the manner provided for U.S. Revolving Credit Loans in
subsection 2.3, except that the minimum borrowing amounts and threshold
multiples in excess thereof applicable to ABR Loans set forth in subsection 2.3
shall not be applicable to the extent that such minimum borrowing amounts exceed
the amounts of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans required to be made pursuant to this
subsection 2.5.

Commitments (each such proposed increase being a "Commitment Increase") either
by having a U.S. Revolving Lender increase its U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment
then in effect (each an "Increasing Lender") or by adding as a U.S. Revolving
Lender with a new U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment which is not then a U.S.
Revolving Lender hereunder (each an "Assuming Lender") (with, in the case of any
Commitment Increase provided by an Assuming Lender, the approval of the General
Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Dollar Lender,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), which notice shall specify
the name of each Increasing Lender and/or Assuming Lender, as applicable, the
amount of the Commitment Increase and the portion thereof being assumed by each
such Increasing Lender or Assuming Lender, and the date on which such Commitment
Increase is to be effective (the "Commitment Increase Date") (which shall be a
Business Day at least three Business Days after delivery of such notice and 30
days prior to the Commitment Termination Date); provided, that:

      Commitment of any Increasing Lender, and the minimum amount of the U.S.
      Revolving Credit Commitment of any Assuming Lender, as part of any
      Commitment Increase shall be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of
      $10,000,000;

            (b) immediately after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the
      Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall not exceed
      $2,500,000,000;

            (c) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
      continuing on the relevant Commitment Increase Date or shall result from
      any Commitment Increase;

            (d) the General Administrative Agent shall have received (i) a copy
      of the resolutions, in form and substance satisfactory to the General
      Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee
      of the Board of Directors of the U.S. Borrower authorizing the borrowings
      contemplated pursuant to such increase, certified by the Secretary or an
      Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Borrower and (ii) from any Assuming
      Lender, any administrative information reasonably requested from the
      General Administrative Agent;

            (e) the representations and warranties contained in Article X (other
      than Section 10.2), and in each of the other Loan Documents, are complete
      and correct in all material respects, as if made on and as of such date
      (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have
      been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and

            (f) immediately after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, no
      U.S. Revolving Lender's U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment shall exceed 25%
      of the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments.

Each Commitment Increase (and the increase of the U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitment of each Increasing Lender and/or the new U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitment of each Assuming Lender, as applicable, resulting therefrom) shall
become effective as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date upon receipt by the
General Administrative Agent, on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on
such Commitment Increase Date, of (A) a certificate of a duly authorized officer
of the U.S. Borrower stating that the conditions with respect to such Commitment
Increase under this subsection 2.6 have been satisfied and (B) an agreement, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and the General
Administrative Agent, pursuant to which, effective as of such Commitment
Increase Date, the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Increasing
Lender shall be increased and/or each such Assuming Lender shall undertake a
U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, duly executed by such Increasing Lender or
Assuming Lender, as the case may be, and the Borrower and acknowledged by each

                                                                              43

Person for whom consent is required. Upon the General Administrative Agent's
receipt of a fully executed agreement from each Increasing Lender and/or
Assuming Lender referred to in clause (B) above, together with the certificate
referred to in clause (A) above, the General Administrative Agent shall record
the information contained in each such agreement in the Register and give prompt
notice of the relevant Commitment Increase to the Borrowers and the Lenders
(including, if applicable, each Assuming Lender). On each Commitment Increase
Date, in the event U.S. Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Dollar Loans are
then outstanding, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Assuming Lender shall
make available to the General Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately
available funds as such General Administrative Agent shall determine, for the
benefit of the other relevant U.S. Revolving Lenders, as being required in order
to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the application of such
amounts to make payments to such other relevant U.S. Revolving Lenders, the U.S.
Revolving Credit Loans (and risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Dollar
Loans) to be held ratably by all U.S. Revolving Lenders in accordance with their
respective U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the U.S. Borrower shall be
deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding U.S. Revolving Credit
Loans and Swing Line Dollar Loans as of such Commitment Increase Date (with such
borrowing to consist of the Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable,
specified in a notice delivered by the U.S. Borrower in accordance with the
requirements of subsection 2.3 (with respect to U.S. Revolving Credit Loans) or
subsection 3.1 (with respect to Swing Line Dollar Loans)) and (iii) the U.S.
Borrower shall pay to the relevant U.S. Revolving Lenders the amounts, if any,
payable under subsection 9.11 as a result of such prepayment.

            2.7 Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan in U.S. Dollars (a
"Term Loan") to the U.S. Borrower on the Restatement Date in an amount not to
exceed the amount of the Term Commitment of such Term Lender. The Term Loans may
from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the U.S.
Borrower and notified to the General Administrative Agent in accordance with
subsections 2.8 and 9.2. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans
may not be reborrowed.

            2.8 Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing. The U.S. Borrower shall give
the General Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be
received by the General Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, one Business Day prior to the anticipated Restatement Date) requesting
that the Term Lenders make the Term Loans on the Restatement Date and specifying
the amount to be borrowed. The Term Loans made on the Restatement Date shall
initially be ABR Loans (or, in the event that the U.S. Borrower executes a
pre-funding indemnity agreement reasonably acceptable to the General
Administrative Agent, Eurodollar Loans). Upon receipt of such notice, the
General Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender thereof. Not
later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Restatement Date, each Term
Lender shall make available to the General Administrative Agent at its office
specified in subsection 17.2 an amount in immediately available funds equal to
the Term Loan or Term Loans to be made by such Term Lender. The General
Administrative Agent shall credit the account of the U.S. Borrower on the books
of such office of the General Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the
amounts made available to the General Administrative Agent by the Term Lenders
in immediately available funds.

            2.9 Repayment of Term Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Term Loan of
each Term Lender shall mature in the following installments, each of which shall
be in an amount equal to such Lender's Term Percentage multiplied by the amount
set forth below opposite such installment:

            (b) The U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
General Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of the Term Loan of such Term Lender on the Term Loan Maturity
Date and on such other dates and in such other amounts as may be required from
time to time pursuant to this Agreement. The U.S. Borrower hereby further agrees
to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans from time to
time outstanding until payment thereof in full at the rates per annum, and on
the dates, set forth in subsection 9.1.

            (c) Each Term Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower to
such Term Lender resulting from the Term Loan of such Term Lender from time to
time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid
to such Term Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

            (d) The General Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register
pursuant to subsection 17.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Term Lender,
in which shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Term Loan made
hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii)
the date of each continuation thereof pursuant to subsection 9.2, (iii) the date
of each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type pursuant to
subsection 9.2, (iv) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and

Borrower in respect of the Term Loans and each Term Lender's share thereof.

            (e) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Term
Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 2.9(d) shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the U.S. Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the
failure of any Term Lender or the General Administrative Agent to maintain the
Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner
affect the obligations of the

Administrative Agent by any Term Lender, the U.S. Borrower will execute and
deliver to such Term Lender a promissory note of the U.S. Borrower evidencing
the Term Loans of such Term Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2
with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (each, a "Term
Note"); provided, that the delivery of such Term Notes shall not be a condition
precedent to the Restatement Date.

Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments. Amounts borrowed by the U.S.
Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Section 3 may be
repaid and, during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, reborrowed.

            3.2 Procedure for Swing Line Borrowings; Interest Rate. (a) The U.S.
Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall give the Swing Line Dollar
Lender or the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender, as the case may be, (with a copy
to the General Administrative Agent) irrevocable notice (which notice must be
received by the relevant Swing Line Lender prior to 11:00 A.M., Local Time on
the requested Borrowing Date (or, with respect to Swing Line Multicurrency Loans
denominated in Swedish Kroner, on the Business Day before the requested
Borrowing Date)) specifying (i) in the case of a Swing Line Multicurrency
Borrowing, the Borrower requesting such borrowing, (ii) the requested date
(which shall be a Business Day), (iii) in the case of a Swing Line Multicurrency
Borrowing, whether such borrowing is to be denominated in U.S. Dollars, euros,
Pounds Sterling or, subject to such advance notice requirement that may be
specified by the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender, any Available Foreign
Currency, (iv) the amount of the requested Swing Line Dollar Borrowing
(expressed in Dollars) or Swing Line Multicurrency Borrowing (expressed in U.S.
Dollars, euros, Pounds Sterling or such other Available Foreign Currency), as
applicable, and (v) in the case of a Swing Line Multicurrency Borrowing (other
than a Swing Line Multicurrency Dollar Loan), the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto; provided, that the amount of the requested Swing Line Dollar
Loan or Swing Line Multicurrency Loan shall be in an

aggregate principal amount of not less than the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of
$100,000 (or, with respect to Swing Line Dollar Loans only, a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof). The proceeds of each Swing Line Dollar Loan will be
made available by the Swing Line Dollar Lender to the U.S. Borrower at the
office specified in the notice referred to above by crediting the account of the
U.S. Borrower at such office with such proceeds in U.S. Dollars. The proceeds of
each Swing Line Multicurrency Loan will be made available by the Swing Line
Multicurrency Lender to the relevant Borrower at the office specified in the
notice referred to above by crediting the account of such Borrower at such
office with such proceeds in the requested currency.

            (b) Unless otherwise agreed between the U.S. Borrower and the Swing
Line Dollar Lender (or, with respect to Swing Line Multicurrency Dollar Loans
only, the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender), each Swing Line Dollar Loan and
Swing Line Multicurrency Dollar Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Any such ABR Loan may
not be converted into a Eurodollar Loan. If, however, the U.S. Borrower and the
Swing Line Dollar Lender (or, with respect to Swing Line Multicurrency Dollar
Loans only, the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender) agree that a Swing Line Dollar
Loan or a Swing Line Multicurrency Dollar Loan, as applicable (each, a "Money
Market Rate Swing Line Loan") shall bear interest at a fixed interest rate (a
"Money Market Rate") for a fixed interest period of up to seven days, such Money
Market Rate Swing Line Loan shall bear interest for such interest period at such
interest rate so agreed upon. If a Money Market Rate Swing Line Loan is not
repaid on the last day of the interest period with respect thereto, it shall on
such date be converted automatically to an ABR Loan. A Money Market Rate Swing
Line Loan shall not be optionally prepayable prior to the last day of the
interest period with respect thereto except with the consent of the Swing Line
Dollar Lender (or, with respect to Swing Line Multicurrency Dollar Loans only,
the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender).

            3.3 Repayment of Swing Line Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The U.S.
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Swing Line Dollar Lender
the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Dollar Loans on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date and on such other dates and in such other amounts as may
be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. The U.S. Borrower
hereby further agrees to pay interest to the Swing Line Dollar Lender on the
unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Dollar Loans made by the Swing Line
Dollar Lender from time to time outstanding until payment thereof in full at the
rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 9.1. On each date of
payment of principal of a Swing Line Dollar Loan to the Swing Line Dollar
Lender, the U.S. Borrower shall provide written notice of such payment to the
General Administrative Agent to be received by the General Administrative Agent
on the date of such payment.

            (b) Each of the U.S. Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender
the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Multicurrency Loans made to
such Borrower on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and on such other dates
and in such other amounts as may be required from time to time pursuant to this
Agreement. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby
further agrees to pay interest to the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender on the
unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Multicurrency Loans made by the Swing
Line Multicurrency Lender to such Borrower from time to time outstanding until
payment thereof in full at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in
subsection 9.1. On each date of payment of principal of a Swing Line
Multicurrency Loan to the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender, the relevant Borrower
shall provide written notice of such payment to the General Administrative Agent
to be received by the General Administrative Agent on the date of such payment.

            (c) Each Swing Line Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the U.S.
Borrower and, with respect to Swing Line Multicurrency Loans, each Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower resulting from each Swing Line Loan made by it from time to
time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid
from time to time under this Agreement.

            (d) The General Administrative Agent (together with the Canadian
Administrative Agent) shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection
17.6(d), and a subaccount therein for the Swing Line Lenders, in which shall be
recorded (i) the date and amount of each Swing Line Loan made hereunder, (ii)
the amount of each U.S. Revolving Lender's participating interest in such Swing
Line Dollar Loans, (iii) the amount of each Multicurrency Lender's participating
interest in such Swing Line Multicurrency Loans, (iv) the date and amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the U.S.
Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder in respect of the Swing
Line Dollar Loans and Swing Line Multicurrency Loans, (v) both the date and
amount of any sum received by the General Administrative Agent hereunder from
the U.S. Borrower in respect of the Swing Line Dollar Loans, each U.S. Revolving
Lender's participating interest therein (if any) and the amount thereof payable
to the Swing Line Dollar Lender and (vi) both the date and amount of any sum
received by the General Administrative Agent hereunder from the U.S. Borrower
and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in respect of the Swing Line Multicurrency
Loans, each Multicurrency Lender's participating interest therein (if any) and
the amount thereof payable to the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender.

            (e) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of the Swing
Line Lenders maintained pursuant to this subsection 3.3 shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations of the U.S. Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Swing
Line Lender or the Administrative Agents to maintain the Register or any such
account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of
(i) the U.S. Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Swing Line Dollar
Loans made to the U.S. Borrower by the Swing Line Dollar Lender in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the U.S. Borrower and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Swing Line
Multicurrency Loans made to the relevant Borrower by the Swing Line
Multicurrency Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

            3.4 Refunding of Swing Line Borrowings. (a) The Swing Line Dollar
Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the
U.S. Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes the Swing Line
Dollar Lender to act on its behalf), direct the General Administrative Agent to
request each U.S. Revolving Lender, including JPMorgan Chase Bank and BofA, to
make a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan (which shall be an ABR Loan) in an amount
equal to such U.S. Revolving Lender's U.S. Dollar Funding Commitment Percentage
of the principal amount of the Swing Line Dollar Loans (the "Refunded Swing Line
Dollar Loans") outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that the
provisions of this subsection shall not affect the U.S. Borrower's obligations
to repay Swing Line Dollar Loans in accordance with the provisions of
subsections 3.3 and 9.4(d) and (g). Unless the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments
shall have expired or terminated (in which event the procedures of subsection
3.5 shall apply), each U.S. Revolving Lender will make the proceeds of the U.S.
Revolving Credit Loan made by it pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
available to the General Administrative Agent at the office of the General
Administrative Agent specified in subsection 17.2 prior to 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding
the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Credit Loans
shall be immediately made available by the General Administrative Agent to the
Swing Line Dollar Lender for application to the payment in full of the Refunded
Swing Line Dollar Loans. Upon any request by the

Swing Line Dollar Lender to the U.S. Revolving Lenders pursuant to this
subsection 3.4, the General Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to
the U.S. Borrower of such request.

            (b) The Swing Line Multicurrency Lender, at any time in its sole and
absolute discretion may, on behalf of the U.S. Borrower or the relevant Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes the
Swing Line Multicurrency Lender to act on its behalf), direct the General
Administrative Agent to request each Multicurrency Lender, including JPMorgan
Chase Bank and BofA, to make a Multicurrency Loan in an amount equal to such
Multicurrency Lender's Multicurrency Funding Commitment Percentage of the
principal amount of the Swing Line Multicurrency Loans (the "Refunded Swing Line
Multicurrency Loans") outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided
that the provisions of this subsection shall not affect the U.S. Borrower's and
the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers' obligations to repay Swing Line Multicurrency
Loans in accordance with the provisions of subsections 3.3 and 9.4(d) and (h).
Unless the Multicurrency Commitments shall have expired or terminated (in which
event the procedures of subsection 3.5 shall apply), each Multicurrency Lender
will make the proceeds of the Multicurrency Loan made by it pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence available to the General Administrative Agent at
the office of the General Administrative Agent specified in subsection 17.2
prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the
Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such
Multicurrency Loans shall be immediately made available by the General
Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender for application to
the payment in full of the Refunded Swing Line Multicurrency Loans. Upon any
request by the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender to the Multicurrency Lenders
pursuant to this subsection 3.4, the General Administrative Agent shall promptly
give notice to the U.S. Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower of
such request.

            3.5 Participating Interests. (a) If the U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swing Line Dollar Loans
are outstanding, at the request of the Swing Line Dollar Lender in its sole
discretion, either (i) each U.S. Revolving Lender (including BofA) shall,
notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitments, make a U.S. Revolving Credit Loan (which shall be an ABR Loan) or
(ii) each U.S. Revolving Lender (other than BofA) shall purchase an undivided
participating interest in the Swing Line Dollar Loans of the Swing Line Dollar
Lender, in either case in an amount equal to such U.S. Revolving Lender's U.S.
Dollar Funding Commitment Percentage (determined on the date of, and immediately
prior to, expiration or termination of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments) of
the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Dollar Loans. Each U.S.
Revolving Lender will make the proceeds of any U.S. Revolving Credit Loan made
by it pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence available to the General
Administrative Agent for the account of the requesting Swing Line Dollar Lender
at the office of the General Administrative Agent specified in subsection 17.2
prior to 12:00 Noon, Local Time, in funds immediately available on the Business
Day next succeeding the date of the request by the Swing Line Dollar Lender. The
proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to
repay the Swing Line Dollar Loans outstanding on the date of termination or
expiration of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments. In the event that any of
the U.S. Revolving Lenders purchase undivided participating interests pursuant
to the first sentence of this subsection 3.5(a), each U.S. Revolving Lender
shall immediately transfer to the requesting Swing Line Dollar Lender, in
immediately available funds, the amount of its participation in the Swing Line
Dollar Loans of the Swing Line Dollar Lender and upon receipt thereof the Swing
Line Dollar Lender will deliver to any such U.S. Revolving Lender that so
requests a confirmation of such U.S. Revolving Lender's undivided participating
interest in the Swing Line Dollar Loans of the Swing Line Dollar Lender dated
the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

            (b) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Dollar Lender has
received payment from any U.S. Revolving Lender in respect of such U.S.
Revolving Lender's participating interest in a Swing Line Dollar Loan of the
Swing Line Dollar Lender, the Swing Line Dollar Lender receives any payment on
account thereof, the Swing Line Dollar Lender will distribute to such U.S.
Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during
which such U.S. Revolving Lender's participating interest was outstanding and
funded); provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by
the Swing Line Dollar Lender is required to be returned, such U.S. Revolving
Lender will return to the Swing Line Dollar Lender any portion thereof
previously distributed by the Swing Line Dollar Lender to it.

            (c) If the Multicurrency Commitments shall expire or terminate at
any time while Swing Line Multicurrency Loans are outstanding, at the request of
the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender in its sole discretion, either (i) each
Multicurrency Lender (including JPMorgan Chase Bank) shall, notwithstanding the
expiration or termination of the Multicurrency Commitments, make a Multicurrency
Loan or (ii) each Multicurrency Lender (other than JPMorgan Chase Bank) shall
purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swing Line Multicurrency
Loans of the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender, in either case in an amount equal
to such Multicurrency Lender's Multicurrency Funding Commitment Percentage
(determined on the date of, and immediately prior to, expiration or termination
of the Multicurrency Commitments) of the aggregate principal amount of such
Swing Line Multicurrency Loans. Each Multicurrency Lender will make the proceeds
of any Multicurrency Loan made by it pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence available to the General Administrative Agent for the account of the
requesting Swing Line Multicurrency Lender at the office of the General
Administrative Agent specified in subsection 17.2 prior to 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding
the date of the request by the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender. The proceeds of
such Multicurrency Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Line
Multicurrency Loans outstanding on the date of termination or expiration of the
Multicurrency Commitments. In the event that any of the Multicurrency Lenders
purchase undivided participating interests pursuant to the first sentence of
this subsection 3.5(c), such Multicurrency Lender shall immediately transfer to
the requesting Swing Line Multicurrency Lender, in immediately available funds,
the amount of its participation in the Swing Line Multicurrency Loans of the
Swing Line Multicurrency Lender and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line
Multicurrency Lender will deliver to any such Multicurrency Lender that so
requests a confirmation of such Multicurrency Lender's undivided participating
interest in the Swing Line Multicurrency Loans of the Swing Line Multicurrency
Lender dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

            (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender
has received payment from any Multicurrency Lender in respect of such
Multicurrency Lender's participating interest in a Swing Line Multicurrency Loan
of the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender, the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender
receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender
will distribute to such Multicurrency Lender its participating interest in such
amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Multicurrency Lender's participating interest
was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that any such
payment received by the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender is required to be
returned, such Multicurrency Lender will return to the Swing Line Multicurrency
Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line
Multicurrency Lender to it.

            SECTION 4. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CAF ADVANCES

            4.1 CAF Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the U.S. Borrower may borrow CAF Advances in U.S. Dollars from time
to time on any Business Day during the CAF Advance Availability Period. CAF
Advances may be borrowed in amounts such that the Aggregate Total Revolving
Outstandings of all Lenders at any time shall not exceed the Aggregate U.S.
Revolving Credit Commitments at such time. Within the limits and on the
conditions hereinafter set forth with respect to CAF Advances, the U.S. Borrower
from time to time may borrow, repay and reborrow CAF Advances. For the avoidance
of doubt, CAF Advances shall not be made available by any Term Lender.

            4.2 Procedure for CAF Advance Borrowing. (a) The U.S. Borrower shall
request CAF Advances by delivering a CAF Advance Request to the General
Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, four
Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of a LIBO Rate
CAF Advance Request), and not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time one
Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of a Fixed Rate
CAF Advance Request). Each CAF Advance Request in respect of any Borrowing Date
may solicit bids for CAF Advances on such Borrowing Date in an aggregate
principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and having not more than five alternative CAF Advance Maturity Dates.
The CAF Advance Maturity Date for each CAF Advance shall be the date set forth
therefor in the relevant CAF Advance Request, which date shall be (i) not less
than 7 days nor more than 360 days after the Borrowing Date therefor, in the
case of a Fixed Rate CAF Advance, (ii) one or two weeks or one, two, three, six,
nine or twelve months after the Borrowing Date therefor, in the case of a LIBO
Rate CAF Advance and (iii) not later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date,
in the case of any CAF Advance. The General Administrative Agent shall notify
each Lender promptly by facsimile transmission of the contents of each CAF
Advance Request received by the General Administrative Agent.

            (b) In the case of a LIBO Rate CAF Advance Request, upon receipt of
notice from the General Administrative Agent of the contents of such CAF Advance
Request, each Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to offer irrevocably to
make one or more CAF Advances at the applicable LIBO Rate plus (or minus) a
margin determined by such Lender in its sole discretion for each such CAF
Advance. Any such irrevocable offer shall be made by delivering a CAF Advance
Offer to the General Administrative Agent, before 10:30 A.M., New York City
time, on the day that is three Business Days before the proposed Borrowing Date,
setting forth:

            (i) the maximum amount of CAF Advances for each CAF Advance Maturity
      Date and the aggregate maximum amount of CAF Advances for all CAF Advance
      Maturity Dates which such Lender would be willing to make (which amounts
      may, subject to subsection 4.1, exceed such Lender's U.S. Revolving Credit
      Commitment); and

            (ii) the margin above or below the applicable LIBO Rate at which
      such Lender is willing to make each such CAF Advance.

The General Administrative Agent shall advise the U.S. Borrower before 11:00
A.M., New York City time, on the date which is three Business Days before the
proposed Borrowing Date of the contents of each such CAF Advance Offer received
by it. If the General Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, shall
elect, in its sole discretion, to make any such CAF Advance Offer, it shall
advise the U.S. Borrower of the contents of its CAF Advance Offer before 10:15
A.M., New York City time, on the date which is three Business Days before the
proposed Borrowing Date.

                                                                              51

            (c) In the case of a Fixed Rate CAF Advance Request, upon receipt of
notice from the General Administrative Agent of the contents of such CAF Advance
Request, each Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to offer irrevocably to
make one or more CAF Advances at a rate of interest determined by such Lender in
its sole discretion for each such CAF Advance. Any such irrevocable offer shall
be made by delivering a CAF Advance Offer to the General Administrative Agent
before 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date, setting
forth:

            (i) the maximum amount of CAF Advances for each CAF Advance Maturity
      Date, and the aggregate maximum amount of CAF Advances for all CAF Advance
      Maturity Dates, which such Lender would be willing to make (which amounts
      may, subject to subsection 4.1, exceed such Lender's U.S. Revolving Credit
      Commitment); and

            (ii) the rate of interest at which such Lender is willing to make
      each such CAF Advance.

The General Administrative Agent shall advise the U.S. Borrower before 10:00
A.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date of the contents of each
such CAF Advance Offer received by it. If the General Administrative Agent, in
its capacity as a Lender, shall elect, in its sole discretion, to make any such
CAF Advance Offer, it shall advise the U.S. Borrower of the contents of its CAF
Advance Offer before 9:15 A.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing
Date.

            (d) Before 11:30 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days
before the proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of CAF Advances requested by a
LIBO Rate CAF Advance Request) and before 10:30 A.M., New York City time, on the
proposed Borrowing Date (in the case of CAF Advances requested by a Fixed Rate
CAF Advance Request), the U.S. Borrower, in its absolute discretion, shall:

            (i) cancel such CAF Advance Request by giving the General
      Administrative Agent telephone notice to that effect, or

            (ii) by giving telephone notice to the General Administrative Agent
      (immediately confirmed by delivery to the General Administrative Agent of
      a CAF Advance Confirmation by facsimile transmission) (A) subject to the
      provisions of subsection 4.2(e), accept one or more of the offers made by
      any Lender or Lenders pursuant to subsection 4.2(b) or subsection 4.2(c),
      as the case may be, and (B) reject any remaining offers made by Lenders
      pursuant to subsection 4.2(b) or subsection 4.2(c), as the case may be.

            (e) The U.S. Borrower's acceptance of CAF Advances in response to
any CAF Advance Offers shall be subject to the following limitations:

            (i) the amount of CAF Advances accepted for each CAF Advance
      Maturity Date specified by any Lender in its CAF Advance Offer shall not
      exceed the maximum amount for such CAF Advance Maturity Date specified in
      such CAF Advance Offer;

            (ii) the aggregate amount of CAF Advances accepted for all CAF
      Advance Maturity Dates specified by any Lender in its CAF Advance Offer
      shall not exceed the aggregate maximum amount specified in such CAF
      Advance Offer for all such CAF Advance Maturity Dates;

<PAGE>

                                                                              52

            (iii) the U.S. Borrower may not accept offers for CAF Advances for
      any CAF Advance Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount in excess
      of the maximum principal amount requested in the related CAF Advance
      Request; and

            (iv) if the U.S. Borrower accepts any of such offers, it must accept
      offers based solely upon pricing for each relevant CAF Advance Maturity
      Date and upon no other criteria whatsoever, and if two or more Lenders
      submit offers for any CAF Advance Maturity Date at identical pricing and
      the U.S. Borrower accepts any of such offers but does not wish to (or, by
      reason of the limitations set forth in subsection 4.1, cannot) borrow the
      total amount offered by such Lenders with such identical pricing, the U.S.
      Borrower shall accept offers from all of such Lenders in amounts allocated
      among them pro rata according to the amounts offered by such Lenders (with
      appropriate rounding, in the sole discretion of the U.S. Borrower, to
      assure that each accepted CAF Advance is an integral multiple of
      $1,000,000); provided that if the number of Lenders that submit offers for
      any CAF Advance Maturity Date at identical pricing is such that, after the
      U.S. Borrower accepts such offers pro rata in accordance with the
      foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the CAF Advance to be made by any
      such Lender would be less than $5,000,000 principal amount, the number of
      such Lenders shall be reduced by the General Administrative Agent by lot
      until the CAF Advances to be made by each such remaining Lender would be
      in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000
      in excess thereof.

            (f) If the U.S. Borrower notifies the General Administrative Agent
that a CAF Advance Request is cancelled pursuant to subsection 4.2(d)(i), the
General Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephone notice thereof to the
Lenders (other than the Term Lenders). If the U.S. Borrower fails to notify the
General Administrative Agent of its cancellation or acceptance of CAF Advance
Offers by the times specified in subsection 4.2(d), the corresponding CAF
Advance Request shall be deemed cancelled.

            (g) If the U.S. Borrower accepts pursuant to subsection 4.2(d)(ii)
one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders, the General
Administrative Agent promptly shall notify each Lender which has made such an
offer of (i) the aggregate amount of such CAF Advances to be made on the
applicable Borrowing Date for each CAF Advance Maturity Date and (ii) the
acceptance or rejection of any offers to make such CAF Advances made by such
Lender. Before 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified
in the applicable CAF Advance Request, each Lender whose CAF Advance Offer has
been accepted shall make available to the General Administrative Agent at its
office set forth in subsection 17.2 the amount of CAF Advances to be made by
such Lender, in immediately available funds. The General Administrative Agent
will make such funds available to the U.S. Borrower as soon as practicable on
such date at such office of the General Administrative Agent. As soon as
practicable after each Borrowing Date, the General Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender of the aggregate amount of CAF Advances advanced on such
Borrowing Date and the respective CAF Advance Maturity Dates thereof.

            4.3 CAF Advance Payments. (a) The U.S. Borrower shall pay to the
General Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender which has made a
CAF Advance, on the applicable CAF Advance Maturity Date the then unpaid
principal amount of such CAF Advance. The U.S. Borrower shall not have the right
to prepay any principal amount of any CAF Advance without the consent of the
Lender to which such CAF Advance is owed.

            (b) The U.S. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each CAF Advance from the Borrowing Date to the applicable CAF Advance
Maturity Date at the rate of interest specified in the CAF Advance Offer
accepted by the U.S. Borrower in connection with such CAF Advance (calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed), payable on each applicable
CAF Advance Interest Payment Date.

            (c) If any principal of, or interest on, any CAF Advance shall not
be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
such CAF Advance shall, without limiting any rights of any Lender under this
Agreement, bear interest from the date on which such payment was due at a rate
per annum which is 2% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable to such
CAF Advance until the stated CAF Advance Maturity Date of such CAF Advance, and
for each day thereafter at a rate per annum which is 2% above the ABR, in each
case until paid in full (as well after as before judgment). Interest accruing
pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

            4.4 Evidence of Debt. (a) The U.S. Borrower unconditionally promises
to pay to the General Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender that
makes a CAF Advance, on the CAF Advance Maturity Date with respect thereto, the
principal amount of such CAF Advance. The U.S. Borrower further unconditionally
promises to pay interest on each such CAF Advance for the period from and
including the Borrowing Date of such CAF Advance on the unpaid principal amount
thereof from time to time outstanding at the applicable rate per annum
determined as provided in, and payable as specified in, subsection 4.3(b).

            (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
appropriate records evidencing indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each CAF Advance of such Lender from time to time, including the
amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to
time in respect of such CAF Advance.

            (c) The General Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register
pursuant to subsection 17.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in
which shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each CAF Advance made by such
Lender, the CAF Advance Maturity Date thereof, the interest rate applicable
thereto and each CAF Advance Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, and (ii)
the date and amount of any sum received by the General Administrative Agent
hereunder from the U.S. Borrower on account of such CAF Advance.

            (d) The entries made in the Register and the records of each Lender
maintained pursuant to this subsection 4.4 shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the U.S. Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the
failure of any Lender or the General Administrative Agent to maintain the
Register or any such record, or any error therein, shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the U.S. Borrower to repay (with applicable interest)
the CAF Advances made by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

            4.5 Certain Restrictions. A CAF Advance Request may request offers
for CAF Advances to be made on not more than one Borrowing Date and to mature on
not more than five CAF Advance Maturity Dates. No CAF Advance Request may be
submitted earlier than five Business Days after submission of any other CAF
Advance Request.

            SECTION 5. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE CANADIAN COMMITMENTS

            5.1 Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each Canadian Lender severally agrees to make revolving
credit loans (each, a "Canadian Revolving Credit Loan") to the Canadian Borrower
in Canadian Dollars or in U.S. Dollars from time to time during the Revolving
Credit Commitment Period so long as after giving effect thereto (i) the
Available Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment of each Canadian Lender is
greater than or equal to zero, (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans does not exceed an amount of which the U.S.
Dollar Equivalent is $200,000,000 and (iii) the Aggregate Total Revolving
Outstandings of all Lenders do not exceed the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitments. During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the Canadian
Borrower may use the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing,
repaying the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The
Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be Prime
Rate Loans, and the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars
shall be Canadian Base Rate Loans.

            5.2 Repayment of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Canadian
Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Canadian Revolving Credit Loan of such Canadian Lender
(whether made before or after the termination or expiration of the Canadian
Revolving Credit Commitments) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and on
such other date(s) and in such other amounts as may be required from time to
time pursuant to this Agreement. The Canadian Borrower hereby further agrees to
pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit
Loans from time to time outstanding until payment thereof in full at the rates
per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 9.1.

            (b) Each Canadian Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Canadian Borrower
to such Canadian Lender resulting from each Canadian Revolving Credit Loan of
such Canadian Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable thereon and paid to such Canadian Lender from time to time
under this Agreement.

            (c) The Canadian Administrative Agent (together with the General
Administrative Agent) shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection
17.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Canadian Lender, in which shall be
recorded (i) the date and amount of each Canadian Revolving Credit Loan made
hereunder, (ii) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from the Canadian Borrower to each Canadian Lender
hereunder in respect of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and (iii) both the
date and amount of any sum received by the Canadian Administrative Agent
hereunder from the Canadian Borrower in respect of the Canadian Revolving Credit
Loans and each Canadian Lender's share thereof.

            (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each
Canadian Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 5.2(b) shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations of the Canadian Borrower therein recorded; provided,
however, that the failure of any Canadian Lender or the General Administrative
Agents to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall
not in any manner affect the obligation of the Canadian Borrower to repay (with
applicable interest) the Canadian Revolving Credit

                                                                              55

Loans made to the Canadian Borrower by such Canadian Lender in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.

            (e) The Canadian Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the
Canadian Administrative Agent by any Canadian Lender, it will execute and
deliver to such Canadian Lender a promissory note of the Canadian Borrower
evidencing the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans of such Canadian Lender,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B with appropriate insertions as to date
and principal amount (each, a "Canadian Revolving Credit Note"); provided, that
the delivery of such Canadian Revolving Credit Notes shall not be a condition
precedent to the Restatement Date.

            5.3 Procedure for Canadian Revolving Credit Borrowing. The Canadian
Borrower may borrow under the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the
Canadian Borrower shall give the Canadian Administrative Agent irrevocable
notice (which notice must be received by the Canadian Administrative Agent prior
to 12:00 Noon, Toronto time, at least one Business Day prior to the requested
Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested
Borrowing Date. Each borrowing in Canadian Dollars under the Canadian Revolving
Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to C$5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of C$1,000,000 in excess thereof, and each borrowing in U.S. Dollars
under the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in each
case, if the then Aggregate Available Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments are
less than C$5,000,000 or $5,000,000, as the case may be, such lesser amount).
Upon receipt of any such notice from the Canadian Borrower, the Canadian
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the General Administrative Agent and
each Canadian Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 Noon, Toronto time, on each
requested Borrowing Date each Canadian Lender shall make an amount equal to its
Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of
Canadian Revolving Credit Loans requested to be made on such Borrowing Date
available to the Canadian Administrative Agent at its office specified in
subsection 17.2 in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars, as the case may be, and in
immediately available funds. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall on such
date credit the account of the Canadian Borrower on the books of such office
with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Canadian Administrative
Agent by the Canadian Lenders and in like funds as received by the Canadian
Administrative Agent.

            5.4 Termination or Reduction of Canadian Revolving Credit
Commitments. The U.S. Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three
Business Days' notice to the Canadian Administrative Agent, to terminate the
Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the
amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such
termination or reduction shall be permitted (i) unless the U.S. Borrower elects
to terminate or reduce the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of the U.S. Common
Lenders by an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate
Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments of all Canadian Lenders being reduced or
terminated or (ii) if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the
Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Available Canadian Revolving
Credit Commitment of any Canadian Lender would be less than zero. Any such
reduction shall be in an amount equal to C$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
C$1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Canadian
Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

            SECTION 6. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CANADIAN ACCEPTANCE FACILITY

            6.1 Acceptance Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, each Canadian Lender severally agrees to create Acceptances for the
Canadian Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment
Period by accepting Drafts drawn by the Canadian Borrower so long as after
giving effect to such acceptance, (i) the Available Canadian Revolving Credit
Commitment of such Canadian Lender would be greater than or equal to zero and
(ii) the Aggregate Total Revolving Outstandings of all Lenders do not exceed the
Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments.

            (b) The Canadian Borrower may utilize the Canadian Revolving Credit
Commitments in the manner contemplated by this Section 6 by authorizing each
Canadian Lender in the manner provided for in subsection 6.2(b) to draw Drafts
on such Canadian Lender and having such Drafts accepted pursuant to subsection
6.2, paying its obligations with respect thereto pursuant to subsection 6.5, and
again, from time to time, authorizing Drafts to be drawn on the Canadian Lenders
and having them presented for acceptance, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Section 6.

            (c) For the purposes of this Agreement, all Acceptances shall be
considered a utilization of the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments in an
amount equal to the undiscounted face amount of such Acceptance.

            6.2 Creation of Acceptances. (a) The Canadian Borrower may request
the creation of Acceptances hereunder by submitting to the Canadian
Administrative Agent at its office specified in subsection 17.2 prior to 11:00
A.M., Toronto time, two Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, (i)
a request for acceptances (each, a "Request for Acceptances") completed in a
manner and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Canadian
Administrative Agent and specifying, among other things, the Borrowing Date,
maturity and face amount of the Drafts to be accepted and discounted, (ii) to
the extent not theretofore supplied to each Canadian Lender, a sufficient number
of Drafts to be drawn on the Canadian Lenders, to be appropriately completed in
accordance with subsection 6.2(d) and (iii) such other certificates, documents
and other papers and information as the Canadian Administrative Agent may
reasonably request. Upon receipt of any such Request for Acceptances, the
Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Canadian Lender and the
General Administrative Agent of its receipt thereof.

            (b) The Canadian Borrower hereby agrees that it delivered to the
Canadian Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, Powers of
Attorney substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D (the "Powers of
Attorney") authorizing each Canadian Lender to draw Drafts on such Canadian
Lender on behalf of the Canadian Borrower and to complete such Drafts in
accordance with the Requests for Acceptances submitted from time to time
pursuant to subsection 6.2(a).

            (c) Each Request for Acceptances made by or on behalf of the
Canadian Borrower hereunder shall contain a request for Acceptances denominated
in Canadian Dollars and having an aggregate undiscounted face amount equal to
C$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of C$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each
Acceptance shall be dated the Borrowing Date specified in the Request for
Acceptances with respect thereto and shall be stated to mature on a Business Day
which is not less than 30 days and not more than 180 days after the date thereof
(and, in any event, prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date).

            (d) Not later than 12:00 Noon, Toronto time, on the Borrowing Date
specified in the relevant Request for Acceptances, and upon fulfillment of the
applicable conditions set forth in subsection

<PAGE>

                                                                              57

11.2, each Canadian Lender will, in accordance with such Request for
Acceptances, (i) sign each Draft on behalf of the Canadian Borrower pursuant to
the Power of Attorney, (ii) complete the date, amount and maturity of each Draft
to be accepted, (iii) accept such Drafts and give notice to the Canadian
Administrative Agent of such acceptance and (iv) upon such acceptance, purchase
such Acceptances to the extent contemplated by subsection 6.3. Alternatively, at
the request of the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Borrower shall
deliver to the Canadian Administrative Agent a "depository note" which complies
with the requirements of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada), and
consents to the deposit of any such depository note in the book-based debt
clearance system maintained by the Canadian Depository of Securities. In such
circumstances, the delivery of Acceptances shall be governed by the clearance
procedures established thereunder.

            6.3 Discount of Acceptances. (a) Each Canadian Lender hereby
severally agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to purchase Acceptances created by it on the Borrowing Date with
respect thereto at the applicable Reference Discount Rate by making available to
the Canadian Borrower an amount in immediately available funds equal to the
Acceptance Purchase Price in respect thereof, and to notify the Canadian
Administrative Agent that such Draft has been accepted, discounted and purchased
by such accepting Canadian Lender.

            (b) In the event that the Canadian Borrower has made a Request for
Acceptances, then (i) prior to 11:00 A.M., Toronto time, on the Borrowing Date
with respect thereto, the Canadian Administrative Agent will notify the General
Administrative Agent, the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders of the
applicable Reference Discount Rate for such Acceptances and the corresponding
Acceptance Purchase Price and (ii) each Canadian Lender shall make the
Acceptance Purchase Price for such Acceptances discounted by it available to the
Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of the Canadian Borrower, at the
office of the Canadian Administrative Agent specified in subsection 17.2 prior
to 12:00 Noon, Toronto time, on the Borrowing Date, in Canadian Dollars and in
funds immediately available to the Canadian Administrative Agent. Such borrowing
will then be made available to the Canadian Borrower by the Canadian
Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Canadian Borrower on the books
of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Canadian
Administrative Agent by the Canadian Lenders and in like funds as received by
the Canadian Administrative Agent.

            (c) Acceptances purchased by any Canadian Lender may be held by it
for its own account until maturity or sold by it at any time prior thereto in
the relevant market therefor in Canada in such Canadian Lender's sole
discretion. The doctrine of merger shall not apply with respect to any
Acceptance held by a Lender at maturity.

            6.4 Stamping Fees. On the Borrowing Date with respect to each
Acceptance, the Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Canadian Lenders, a stamping fee at a rate per
annum equal to the Applicable Margin in effect on such Borrowing Date for
Eurodollar Loans, computed for the period from and including the Borrowing Date
with respect to such Acceptance to but not including the maturity of such
Acceptance, on the basis of a 365-day year, of the undiscounted face amount of
such Acceptance.

            6.5 Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations. (a) The Canadian Borrower
hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent for
the account of each Canadian Lender, on the maturity date (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for each Acceptance created by such
Canadian Lender for the account of the Canadian Borrower, the aggregate
undiscounted face amount of each such then-maturing Acceptance.

                                                                              58

            (b) The obligation of the Canadian Borrower to reimburse the
Canadian Lenders for then-maturing Acceptances may be satisfied by the Canadian
Borrower by:

            (i) paying to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of
      the Canadian Lenders, an amount in Canadian Dollars and in immediately
      available funds equal to the aggregate undiscounted face amount of all
      Acceptances created for the account of the Canadian Borrower hereunder
      which are then maturing by 12:00 Noon, Toronto time, on such maturity
      date; provided that the Canadian Borrower shall have given not less than
      one Business Day's prior notice to the Canadian Administrative Agent
      (which shall promptly notify each Canadian Lender thereof) of its intent
      to reimburse the Canadian Lenders in the manner contemplated by this
      clause (i);

            (ii) having new Drafts accepted and discounted by the Canadian
      Lenders in the manner contemplated by subsections 6.2 and 6.3 in
      substitution for the then-maturing Acceptances; provided that (A) the
      Canadian Borrower shall have delivered to the Canadian Administrative
      Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy thereof to each Canadian
      Lender) a duly completed Request for Acceptances not later than 2:00 P.M.,
      Toronto time, one Business Day prior to such maturity date, together with
      the documents, instruments, certificates and other papers and information
      contemplated by subsections 6.2(a)(ii) and 6.2(a)(iii), (B) if any Default
      or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Request for
      Acceptances shall be deemed to be a request for a Canadian Revolving
      Credit Loan in an amount equal to the undiscounted face amount of the
      Acceptances requested, (C) each Canadian Lender shall retain the
      Acceptance Purchase Price for the Acceptance created by it and apply such
      Acceptance Purchase Price to the Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations of
      the Canadian Borrower in respect of the maturing Acceptance created by
      such Canadian Lender, (D) if the Acceptance Purchase Price so retained by
      such Canadian Lender is less than the undiscounted face amount of the
      then-maturing Acceptance, the Canadian Borrower shall have made
      arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Canadian Lender for payment
      of such deficiency and (E) if the Acceptance Purchase Price so retained by
      the Canadian Lender is greater than the undiscounted face amount of the
      then-maturing Acceptance, the Canadian Lender shall make such excess
      available to the Canadian Administrative Agent, which in turn shall make
      such excess available to the Canadian Borrower, all in accordance with
      subsection 6.3(b); or

            (iii) to the extent that the Canadian Borrower has not given to the
      Canadian Administrative Agent a notice contemplated by clause (i) or (ii)
      above, then the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a
      borrowing pursuant to subsection 5.1 of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans in
      an aggregate principal amount equal to the undiscounted face amount of
      such then-maturing Acceptance. The Borrowing Date with respect to such
      borrowing shall be the maturity date for such Acceptance. Except to the
      extent that any of the events contemplated by paragraph (i) of Section 15
      with respect to the Canadian Borrower has occurred and is then continuing,
      each Canadian Lender shall be obligated to make the Canadian Revolving
      Credit Loan contemplated by this subsection 6.5(b)(iii) regardless of
      whether the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement
      are then satisfied. The proceeds of any Canadian Revolving Credit Loans
      made pursuant to this subsection 6.5(b)(iii) shall be retained by the
      Canadian Lenders and applied by them to the Acceptance Reimbursement
      Obligations of the Canadian Borrower in respect of the then-maturing
      Acceptance.

            (c) The unpaid amount of any such Acceptance Reimbursement
Obligations shall be treated as a Canadian Revolving Credit Loan for the
purposes hereof and interest shall accrue on the

<PAGE>

                                                                              59

amount of any such unpaid Acceptance Reimbursement Obligation from the date such
amount becomes due until paid in full at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to
the rate which would then be payable on Canadian Revolving Credit Loans. Such
interest shall be payable by the Canadian Borrower on demand by the Canadian
Administrative Agent.

            (d) In no event shall the Canadian Borrower claim from any Canadian
Lender any grace period with respect to the payment at maturity of any
Acceptances created by such Canadian Lender pursuant to this Agreement.

            6.6 Converting Canadian Revolving Credit Loans to Acceptances and
Acceptances to Canadian Revolving Credit Loans. (a) Subject to subsection
6.6(b), the Canadian Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that
any then outstanding Canadian Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Canadian
Dollars be converted into an Acceptance by delivering to the Canadian
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the General Administrative
Agent and each Canadian Lender of its receipt thereof) a Request for
Acceptances, together with a statement that the Acceptances so requested are to
be created pursuant to this subsection 6.6(a), such notice to be given not later
than one Business Day prior to the requested conversion date.

            (b) In the event that the Canadian Administrative Agent receives
such a Request for Acceptances and the accompanying statement described in
subsection 6.6(a), then the Canadian Borrower shall pay on the requested
Borrowing Date to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Canadian Lenders, the principal amount of the then outstanding Canadian
Revolving Credit Loans being so converted, and each Canadian Lender shall accept
and discount the Canadian Borrower's Draft having an aggregate face amount at
least equal to the principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans of
such Canadian Lender which are then being repaid; it being understood and agreed
that for the purposes of this subsection 6.6(b), such payment by the Canadian
Borrower of such outstanding Canadian Revolving Credit Loans may be from the
proceeds of such discounted Drafts, provided that, (i) following the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, no Acceptances
may be created and (ii) no Acceptance which is permitted to be created hereunder
shall have a maturity that extends beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

            (c) The creation of Acceptances pursuant to this subsection 6.6
shall not be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to
borrowing set forth in this Agreement.

            (d) The Canadian Borrower may elect from time to time to convert
outstanding Acceptances to Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in
Canadian Dollars by giving the Canadian Administrative Agent at least one
Business Day's irrevocable notice of such election prior to the maturity of such
Acceptances; provided that any such conversion of Acceptances may only be made
on the maturity thereof.

            6.7 Allocation of Acceptances. The Canadian Borrower hereby agrees
that each Request for Acceptances, reimbursement of Acceptances and conversion
of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans to Acceptances shall be made in a manner so
that any such Request for Acceptances, reimbursement or conversion shall apply
ratably to all Canadian Lenders in accordance with their respective Canadian
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. In the event that the aggregate
undiscounted face amount of Acceptances requested by the Canadian Borrower to be
created by all Canadian Lenders hereunder pursuant to any Request for
Acceptances is an amount which, if divided ratably among the Canadian Lenders in
accordance with their respective Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentages, would not result in each Canadian Lender accepting a Draft which
has an

<PAGE>

                                                                              60

undiscounted face amount equal to C$100,000 or a whole multiple of C$100,000 in
excess thereof, then, notwithstanding any provision in this subsection 6.7 to
the contrary, the Canadian Administrative Agent is authorized by the Canadian
Borrower and the Canadian Lenders to allocate among the Canadian Lenders the
Acceptances to be issued in such manner and amounts as the Canadian
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, consider
necessary, rounding up or down, so as to ensure that no Canadian Lender is
required to accept a Draft for a fraction of $100,000 and, in such event, the
Canadian Lenders' ratable share with respect to such Acceptances shall be
adjusted accordingly.

            6.8 Special Provisions Relating to Acceptance Notes. (a) The
Canadian Borrower and each Canadian Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that
from time to time certain Canadian Lenders which are not Canadian chartered
banks or which are Schedule II Canadian Lenders may not be authorized to or may,
as a matter of general corporate policy, elect not to accept Drafts, and the
Canadian Borrower and each Canadian Lender agree that any such Canadian Lender
may purchase Acceptance Notes of the Canadian Borrower in accordance with the
provisions of subsection 6.8(b) in lieu of creating Acceptances for its account.

            (b) In the event that any Canadian Lender described in subsection
6.8(a) above is unable to, or elects as a matter of general corporate policy not
to, create Acceptances hereunder, such Canadian Lender shall not create
Acceptances hereunder, but rather, if the Canadian Borrower requests the
creation of such Acceptances, the Canadian Borrower shall deliver to such
Canadian Lender non-interest bearing promissory notes (each, an "Acceptance
Note") of the Canadian Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, having
the same maturity as the Acceptances to be created and in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the undiscounted face amount of such Acceptances. Each such
Canadian Lender hereby agrees to purchase Acceptance Notes from the Canadian
Borrower at a purchase price equal to the Acceptance Purchase Price which would
have been applicable if a Draft in the same aggregate face amount as the
principal amount of its Acceptance Notes and of the same maturity had been
accepted by it (less any stamping fee which would have been paid pursuant to
subsection 6.4 if such Lender had created an Acceptance) and such Acceptance
Notes shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 6 as if they were
Acceptances.

            6.9 Existing Acceptances and Acceptance Notes. Any Acceptances or
Acceptance Notes that (i) are outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on
the Closing Date and (ii) were created by or issued to, as the case may be,
lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement that are also Lenders hereunder,
shall continue to be outstanding as Acceptances or Acceptance Notes, as the case
may be, under this Agreement from and after the Closing Date and shall be
governed by the terms hereof as if such Acceptances and Acceptance Notes had
been created or issued hereunder.

            SECTION 7. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF MULTICURRENCY COMMITMENT

            7.1 Multicurrency Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, each Multicurrency Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit
loans (each, a "Multicurrency Loan") in any Available Foreign Currency to the
U.S. Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower from time to time during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period so long as after giving effect thereto (i)
the Available Multicurrency Commitment of such Multicurrency Lender is greater
than or equal to zero, (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Multicurrency Loans does not exceed an amount of which the U.S. Dollar
Equivalent is $750,000,000 and (iii) the Aggregate Total Revolving Outstandings
of all Lenders do not exceed the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments.
During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the U.S. Borrower and Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers may use the Multicurrency

<PAGE>

                                                                              61

Commitments by borrowing, repaying the Multicurrency Loans in whole or in part,
and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

            7.2 Repayment of Multicurrency Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each of
the U.S. Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the General Administrative Agent for the account of each
Multicurrency Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Multicurrency Loan
of such Multicurrency Lender to such Borrower on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date and on such other date(s) and in such other amounts as may be
required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. Each of the U.S. Borrower
and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on
the unpaid principal amount of the Multicurrency Loans advanced to it and from
time to time outstanding until payment thereof in full at the rates per annum,
and on the dates, set forth in subsection 9.1.

            (b) Each Multicurrency Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each Borrower
to such Multicurrency Lender resulting from each Multicurrency Loan of such
Multicurrency Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable thereon and paid to such Multicurrency Lender from time to time
under this Agreement.

            (c) The General Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register
pursuant to subsection 17.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Multicurrency
Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Multicurrency
Loan made hereunder, (ii) the date and amount of any principal or interest due
and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each
Multicurrency Lender hereunder in respect of the Multicurrency Loans and (iii)
both the date and amount of any sum received by the General Administrative Agent
hereunder from each Borrower in respect of the Multicurrency Loans and each
Multicurrency Lender's share thereof.

            (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each
Multicurrency Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 7.2(b) shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations of each Borrower therein recorded; provided, however,
that the failure of any Multicurrency Lender or the General Administrative Agent
to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in
any manner affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay (with applicable
interest) the Multicurrency Loans made to such Borrower by such Multicurrency
Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

            7.3 Procedure for Multicurrency Borrowing. The U.S. Borrower or any
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may request the Multicurrency Lenders to make
Multicurrency Loans during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period on any
Business Day by delivering a Notice of Multicurrency Loan Borrowing. Each
borrowing under the Multicurrency Commitments shall be in an amount in an
Available Foreign Currency of which the U.S. Dollar Equivalent is equal to at
least $10,000,000 (or, if the then Aggregate Available Multicurrency Commitments
are less than $10,000,000, such lesser amount). Upon receipt of any such Notice
of Multicurrency Borrowing from any Borrower, the General Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Multicurrency Lender thereof. Not later than the
funding time for the relevant Available Foreign Currency set forth in the
Administrative Schedule, each Multicurrency Lender shall make an amount equal to
its Multicurrency Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of Multicurrency
Loans requested to be made on such Borrowing Date available to the General
Administrative Agent at the funding office for the relevant Available Foreign
Currency set forth in the Administrative Schedule in the relevant Available
Foreign Currency and in immediately available funds. The amounts made available
by each Multicurrency Lender will then be made available on such

<PAGE>

                                                                              62

Borrowing Date to the relevant Borrower at the funding office for the relevant
Available Foreign Currency set forth in the Administrative Schedule and in like
funds as received by the General Administrative Agent.

            7.4 Termination or Reduction of Multicurrency Commitments. The U.S.
Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days' notice to
the General Administrative Agent, to terminate the Multicurrency Commitments or,
from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Multicurrency Commitments;
provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after
giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective
date thereof, the Available Multicurrency Commitment of any Multicurrency Lender
would be less than zero. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to
$10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce
permanently the Multicurrency Commitments then in effect.

            7.5 Redenomination and Alternative Currencies. Each obligation under
this Agreement of a party to this Agreement which has been denominated in the
National Currency Unit of a Subsequent Participant state shall be redenominated
into the euro unit in accordance with EMU Legislation immediately upon such
Subsequent Participant becoming a Participating Member State (but otherwise in
accordance with EMU Legislation).

            SECTION 8. LETTERS OF CREDIT

            8.1 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees, and any other Issuing Lender may, as
agreed between the U.S. Borrower and such Issuing Lender, agree, on behalf of
the U.S. Revolving Lenders, and in reliance on the agreement of the Lenders set
forth in subsection 8.3, to issue for the account of the U.S. Borrower (or in
connection with any Foreign Letter of Credit, for the joint and several accounts
of the U.S. Borrower and such applicable Foreign Subsidiary) letters of credit
in an aggregate face amount not to exceed at any time outstanding an amount of
which the U.S. Dollar Equivalent is $400,000,000, as follows:

            (i) standby letters of credit (collectively, the "Standby Letters of
      Credit") in the form of either (A) the Issuing Lender's standard standby
      letter of credit or (B) a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the
      Issuing Lender, and in either case, in favor of such beneficiaries as the
      U.S. Borrower shall specify from time to time (which shall be reasonably
      satisfactory to the Issuing Lender); and

            (ii) commercial letters of credit in the form of the Issuing
      Lender's standard commercial letters of credit ("Commercial Letters of
      Credit") in favor of sellers of goods or services to the U.S. Borrower,
      its Subsidiaries or joint ventures (the Standby Letters of Credit and
      Commercial Letters of Credit being referred to collectively as the
      "Letters of Credit");

provided that on the date of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, and after
giving effect to such issuance, (i) the Available U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitment of each U.S. Revolving Lender is greater than or equal to zero and
(ii) the Aggregate Total Revolving Outstandings of all Lenders do not exceed the
Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments at such time. Each Standby Letter of
Credit shall (i) have an expiry date no later than one year from the date of
issuance thereof or, if earlier, the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (ii)
be denominated in Dollars or another freely-convertible currency acceptable to
the Issuing Lender. Each Commercial Letter of Credit shall (i) provide for the
payment of sight drafts when presented for honor thereunder, or of time drafts,
in each case in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the
documents described or when such documents are presented, as the case may be,
(ii) be denominated in Dollars or another freely-convertible currency acceptable
to the

<PAGE>

                                                                              63

Issuing Lender and (iii) have an expiry date no later than six months from the
date of issuance thereof or, if earlier, five Business Days prior to the
Revolving Credit Termination Date.

            (b) Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
as Issuing Lender, has issued certain letters of credit which are outstanding on
the Restatement Date (the "Existing Letters of Credit"). From and after the
Restatement Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall for all purposes be
deemed to be Letters of Credit outstanding under this Agreement.

            8.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The U.S. Borrower
may from time to time request, upon at least three Business Days' notice, the
Issuing Lender to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender
at its address specified in subsection 17.2 a Letter of Credit Application,
completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, together with such other
certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender
may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application from
the U.S. Borrower, or, in the case of a Foreign Letter of Credit, from the U.S.
Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary that is an account party on such Letter of
Credit, such Issuing Lender will promptly, but in no event later than five
Business Days following receipt of such Letter of Credit Application, notify
each U.S. Revolving Lender thereof. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit
Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Letter of Credit Application,
and the other certificates, documents and other papers delivered in connection
therewith, in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue
such Letter of Credit (but in no event earlier than three Business Days after
receipt by such Issuing Lender of the Letter of Credit Application relating
thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary
thereof and by furnishing a copy thereof to the U.S. Borrower and the
Participating Lenders. In addition, the U.S. Borrower may from time to time
agree with Issuing Lenders other than JPMorgan Chase Bank upon procedures for
issuance by such Issuing Lenders of Letters of Credit and cause Letters of
Credit to be issued by following such procedures. Such procedures shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the General Administrative Agent. Prior to the
issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will confirm with the
General Administrative Agent that the issuance of such Letter of Credit is
permitted pursuant to Section 8 and subsection 11.2. Additionally, each Issuing
Lender and the U.S. Borrower shall inform the General Administrative Agent of
any modifications made to outstanding Letters of Credit, of any payments made
with respect to such Letters of Credit, and of any other information regarding
such Letters of Credit as may be reasonably requested by the General
Administrative Agent, in each case pursuant to procedures established by the
General Administrative Agent.

            8.3 Participating Interests. In the case of each Existing Letter of
Credit, effective on the Restatement Date, and in the case of each Letter of
Credit issued in accordance with the terms hereof on or after the Restatement
Date, effective as of the date of the issuance thereof, the Issuing Lender in
respect of such Letter of Credit agrees to allot, and does allot, to each other
U.S. Revolving Lender, and each such U.S. Revolving Lender severally and
irrevocably agrees to take and does take, a Participating Interest in such
Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Application in a percentage
equal to such U.S. Revolving Lender's U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage. On the date that any purchasing Lender becomes a party to this
Agreement in accordance with subsection 17.6, Participating Interests in any
outstanding Letter of Credit held by the U.S. Revolving Lender from which such
purchasing Lender acquired its interest hereunder shall be proportionately
reallotted between such purchasing Lender and such transferor U.S. Revolving
Lender. Each Participating Lender hereby agrees that its obligation to
participate in each Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the terms hereof
and to pay or to reimburse the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of
Credit for its participating share of the drafts drawn thereunder shall be
irrevocable and unconditional; provided that no Participating Lender

<PAGE>

                                                                              64

shall be liable for the payment of any amount under subsection 8.4(b) resulting
solely from such Issuing Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

            8.4 Payments. (a) The U.S. Borrower agrees (and in the case of a
Foreign Letter of Credit, the Foreign Subsidiary for whose account such Letter
of Credit was issued shall also agree, jointly and severally) (i) to reimburse
the General Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender,
forthwith upon its demand and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the
Letter of Credit Application, if any, relating thereto, for any payment made by
such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for
its account and (ii) to pay to the General Administrative Agent for the account
of such Issuing Lender, interest on any unreimbursed portion of any such payment
from the date of such payment until reimbursement in full thereof at a
fluctuating rate per annum equal to the rate then borne by ABR Loans pursuant to
subsection 9.1(b) plus, without duplication of any premium payable pursuant to
Section 9.1(f)) 2%; provided, that such 2% premium shall not be payable until
the date that is two Business Days after the date on which the U.S. Borrower has
been so notified by the General Administrative Agent.

            (b) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes a payment under any
Letter of Credit and is not reimbursed in full therefor, forthwith upon demand
of such Issuing Lender, and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof or of
the Letter of Credit Application, if any, relating to such Letter of Credit,
such Issuing Lender will promptly through the General Administrative Agent
notify each Participating Lender that acquired its Participating Interest in
such Letter of Credit from such Issuing Lender. No later than the close of
business on the date such notice is given (if such notice is received by such
Participating Lender by 12:00 Noon, otherwise no later than 12:00 Noon of the
immediately following Business Day), each such Participating Lender will
transfer to the General Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing
Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Participating
Lender's pro rata share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. Upon its
receipt from such Participating Lender of such amount, such Issuing Lender will,
if so requested by such Participating Lender, complete, execute and deliver to
such Participating Lender a Letter of Credit Participation Certificate dated the
date of such receipt and in such amount.

            (c) Whenever, at any time, after an Issuing Lender has made payment
under a Letter of Credit and has received from any Participating Lender such
Participating Lender's pro rata share of the unreimbursed portion of such
payment, such Issuing Lender receives any reimbursement on account of such
unreimbursed portion or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing
Lender will distribute to the General Administrative Agent, for the account of
such Participating Lender, its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that
in the event that the receipt by such Issuing Lender of such reimbursement or
such payment of interest (as the case may be) is required to be returned, such
Participating Lender will promptly return to the General Administrative Agent,
for the account of such Issuing Lender, any portion thereof previously
distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

            8.5 Further Assurances. (a) The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees, from
time to time, to do and perform any and all acts and to execute any and all
further instruments reasonably requested by an Issuing Lender more fully to
effect the purposes of this Agreement and the issuance of the Letters of Credit
hereunder.

            (b) It is understood that in connection with certain Letters of
Credit it may be customary for the Issuing Lender in respect thereof to obtain
an opinion of its counsel relating to such Letter of Credit, and each Issuing
Lender that issues such a Letter of Credit agrees to cooperate with the

<PAGE>

                                                                              65

U.S. Borrower in obtaining such customary opinion, which opinion shall be at the
U.S. Borrower's expense unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender.

            8.6 Obligations Absolute. The payment obligations of the U.S.
Borrower and any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under subsection 8.4 shall be
unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation,
under the following circumstances:

            (a) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right
      which the U.S. Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may
      have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of any Letter
      of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such
      transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender or any Participating Lender,
      or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
      transactions contemplated herein, or any unrelated transaction;

            (b) any statement or any other document presented under any Letter
      of Credit opened for its account proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid
      or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
      inaccurate in any respect, except under circumstances involving the gross
      negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender; or

            (c) payment by an Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against
      presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the
      terms of such Letter of Credit, except payment resulting solely from the
      gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender; or

            (d) any other circumstances or happening whatsoever, whether or not
      similar to any of the foregoing, except circumstances or happenings
      resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing
      Lender.

            8.7 Letter of Credit Application. To the extent not inconsistent
with the terms of this Agreement (in which case the provisions of this Agreement
shall prevail), provisions of any Letter of Credit Application related to any
Letter of Credit are supplemental to, and not in derogation of, any rights and
remedies of the Issuing Lenders and the Participating Lenders under this Section
8 and applicable law. Each of the U.S. Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all rights of the Issuing Lender under any
Letter of Credit Application shall inure to the benefit of each Participating
Lender to the extent of its Participating Interest as fully as if such
Participating Lender was a party to such Letter of Credit Application.

            8.8 Currency Adjustments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating any fee in
respect of any Letter of Credit in respect of any Business Day, the General
Administrative Agent shall convert the amount available to be drawn under any
Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars into an
amount of U.S. Dollars based upon the Exchange Rate.

            (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 8, prior to demanding any reimbursement from the Participating Lenders
pursuant to subsection 8.4(b) in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in
a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the Issuing Lender shall convert the
relevant Borrower's obligation under subsection 8.4 to reimburse the Issuing
Lender in such currency into an obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender in
U.S. Dollars. The U.S. Dollar amount of the

<PAGE>

                                                                              66

reimbursement obligation of the relevant Borrower and the Participating Lenders
shall be computed by the Issuing Lender based upon the Exchange Rate in effect
for the day on which such conversion occurs.

bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of Loans, the rate
that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this Section 9.1 plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the
rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if all

notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall
specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor.
Upon receipt of any such notice the General Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans and
ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no ABR Loan may
be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the General Administrative Agent or the Majority
Lenders have determined that such conversion is not appropriate, (ii) any such
conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, subsection 9.3
shall not have been violated, (iii) no ABR Loan may be converted into a
Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit
Termination Date and (iv) Swing Line Loans may not be converted to Eurodollar

            (b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the
expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the U.S.
Borrower giving notice to the General Administrative Agent of the length of the
next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans determined in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in
subsection 1.1, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i)
when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
General Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders have determined that such
continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto,
subsection 9.3 would be contravened or (iii) after the date that is one month
prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and provided, further, that if
the U.S. Borrower shall fail to give such notice or if such continuation is not
permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurodollar Loans shall be
automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring
Interest Period.

            (c) Any Multicurrency Loans may be continued as such upon the
expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the U.S.
Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower giving a Notice of

Subsidiary Borrower shall fail to give such Notice of Multicurrency Loan
Continuation, such Multicurrency Loans shall automatically be continued for an
Interest Period of one month.

prepay, without premium or penalty, the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans, in
whole or in part, upon at least one Business Day's irrevocable notice to the
Canadian Administrative Agent specifying the date and amount of prepayment. Upon

                                                                              69

            (d) If, at any time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period,
for any reason the Aggregate Total Revolving Outstandings of all Lenders exceed
the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect by more than 5%,
or the Aggregate Committed Revolving Outstandings of any Lender exceeds the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender then in effect by more than 5%, (i)
the U.S. Borrower shall, upon learning thereof or upon the request of the
General Administrative Agent, immediately prepay the Swing Line Dollar Loans and
the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and/or (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall, upon
learning thereof or upon the request of the General Administrative Agent,
immediately prepay the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans and/or (iii) the U.S.
Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall, upon learning
thereof or upon the request of the General Administrative Agent, immediately
prepay the Swing Line Multicurrency Loans and the Multicurrency Loans, in an
aggregate principal amount at least sufficient to reduce any such excess to 0%;
provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be construed as
requiring the Canadian Borrower to so prepay in amounts (i) that would be in
violation of, and its obligations to so prepay are subject to, the restrictions
on financial assistance set out in the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) or
(ii) outstanding by way of Acceptances; and, provided, further, that the
preceding proviso shall not be construed in any way as limiting or derogating
from the obligations of the Borrowers (other than the Canadian Borrower) set out
in this subsection.

            (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, mandatory prepayments of
Revolving Credit Loans or Multicurrency Loans that would otherwise be required
pursuant to this subsection 9.4 solely as a result of fluctuations in Exchange
Rates from time to time shall only be required to be made pursuant to this
subsection 9.4 on the last Business Day of each month on the basis of the
Exchange Rate in effect on such Business Day.

            (f) The U.S. Borrower shall prepay all Swing Line Dollar Loans then

            (g) The U.S. Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
shall prepay all Swing Line Multicurrency Loans then outstanding (other than
Money Market Rate Swing Line Loans) simultaneously with each borrowing by such
Borrower of Multicurrency Loans in the same currency as that in which such
outstanding Swing Line Multicurrency Loans are denominated.

            (h) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by the U.S. Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred by
this Agreement), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall
be applied on the date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term
Loans as set forth in Section 9.4(l).

            (i) If on any date the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale then, unless a Reinvestment
Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be
applied on the third Business Day after receipt thereof toward the prepayment of
the Term Loans as set forth in Section 9.4(l); provided, that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales that may be
excluded from the foregoing prepayment requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment
Notice shall not exceed $400,000,000 in any fiscal year of the U.S. Borrower and
(ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment
Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be
applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 9.4(l).

                                                                              70

            (j) If on any date the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event then, unless a
Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash
Proceeds shall be applied on the third Business Day after receipt thereof toward
the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 9.4(l); provided, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Recovery
Events that may be excluded from the foregoing prepayment requirement pursuant
to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $400,000,000 in any fiscal year of the
U.S. Borrower and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to
the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment
Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in
Section 9.4(l).

            (k) If there is any balance in (or credited to) the 2008/2009
Collateral Account on May 15, 2009, then such amount shall be applied on such
date to the prepayment of the Term Loans.

            (l) Amounts to be applied to prepayments of the Term Loans made
pursuant to paragraphs (h), (i), (j) and (k) above shall be applied ratably to
then remaining installments. The application of any prepayment pursuant to
paragraphs (h), (i), (j) and (k) above shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and,
second, to Eurodollar Loans.

            (m) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this subsection 9.4 (except
in the case of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans, Swing
Line Dollar Loans and Canadian Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued
and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment and any
amounts payable under subsection 9.11 in connection with such prepayment.

            9.5 Facility Fees; Other Fees. (a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay
to the General Administrative Agent, for the account of each U.S. Revolving
Lender, a facility fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the date the Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated and the
Obligations owed under the Revolving Credit Facility have been paid in full;
each such facility fee shall be computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the amount
of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment (or, following the termination of the
Revolving Credit Commitments, on the amount of the Aggregate Total Revolving
Outstandings of each Lender) of such U.S. Revolving Lender during the period for
which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
March, June, September and December, on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or
such earlier date on which the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate
as provided herein and on demand thereafter, commencing on the first such date
to occur after the date hereof. Each U.S. Common Lender and its Counterpart
Lender may elect, upon notice to the U.S. Borrowers and the Administrative
Agents, to have all or a portion of the facility fees owed to such U.S. Common
Lender by the U.S. Borrower paid by the Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars
directly to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of such U.S.
Common Lender's Counterpart Lender. Each U.S. Common Lender and its Counterpart
Lender may make such election no more often than once in any year. If any such
election is made, amounts otherwise due in U.S. Dollars in respect of facility
fees shall be converted to Canadian Dollars at the then Exchange Rate on the
date which is one Business Day prior to the date such amount is due.

            (b) The U.S. Borrower shall pay (without duplication of any other
fee payable under this subsection 9.5) to JPMorgan Chase Bank and BofA, for
their respective accounts, all fees separately agreed to by the U.S. Borrower
and JPMorgan Chase Bank or BofA, as the case may be.

            (c) The Canadian Borrower shall (without duplication of any other
fee payable under this subsection 9.5) pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent
all fees separately agreed to by the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian
Administrative Agent.

                                                                              71

            (d) The U.S. Borrower shall (without duplication of any other fee
payable under this subsection 9.5) pay to the General Administrative Agent all
fees separately agreed to by the U.S. Borrower and the General Administrative
Agent.

            (e) In lieu of any letter of credit commissions and fees provided
for in any Letter of Credit Application (other than any standard issuance,
amendment and negotiation fees), the U.S. Borrower will pay the General
Administrative Agent, (i) for the account of the Issuing Lender, a
non-refundable fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum and (ii) for the account
of the U.S. Revolving Lenders, a non-refundable Letter of Credit fee equal to
the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans that are
Revolving Credit Loans less 0.125%, in each case on the amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, and shall be
calculated on the average daily amount available to be drawn under the Letters
of Credit.

            (f) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay the Issuing Lender for its own
account its customary administration, amendment, transfer and negotiation fees
charged by the Issuing Lender in connection with its issuance and administration
of Letters of Credit.

            9.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest based on the
Eurodollar Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate, the Swing Line Multicurrency Rate, the
Money Market Rate or the Alternate Base Rate when it is based upon the Federal
Funds Effective Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual days elapsed; and facility fees and interest (other than interest based
upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate, the Swing Line Multicurrency
Rate, the Money Market Rate or the Alternate Base Rate when it is based upon the
Federal Funds Effective Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or
366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The General
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the U.S. Borrower and
the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate or Eurocurrency Rate. Any
change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate
Base Rate or a change in the Prime Rate shall become effective as of the opening
of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The General
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the U.S. Borrower and
the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in the
Alternate Base Rate, and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the U.S. Borrower and Canadian Borrower and the Canadian
Lenders of each such change in the Prime Rate and the Canadian Base Rate;
provided that a failure by the General Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Administrative Agent to notify the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower of
such respective rate changes does not affect the obligation of the U.S. Borrower
or the Canadian Borrower to pay interest at the applicable rate as changed. For
purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest under this
Agreement is calculated based on a period which is less than a year (the "Lesser
Period"), the interest rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when
expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (i) the applicable rate based on
such Lesser Period, (ii) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar
year in which the period for which such interest is payable ends, and (iii)
divided by the number of days in such Lesser Period. The rates of interest
specified in this Agreement are nominal rates and all interest payments and
computations are to be made without allowance or deduction for deemed
reinvestment of interest.

            (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the General
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. Each
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of a Borrower, deliver to such
Borrower a statement showing in

<PAGE>

                                                                              72

reasonable detail the calculations used by such Administrative Agent in
determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 9.1(a).

            9.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day
of any Interest Period:

            (a) the General Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
      determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by
      reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
      reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or the
      Eurocurrency Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period, or

            (b) the General Administrative Agent has received notice from the
      Majority Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate or Eurocurrency Rate, as the
      case may be, determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will
      not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
      maintaining their Eurodollar Loans or Multicurrency Loans, as the case may
      be, during such Interest Period,

the General Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice
thereof to the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.
Until such time as the Eurodollar Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as the case may
be, can be determined by the General Administrative Agent in the manner
specified in the definitions of such terms in subsection 1.1, no further
Eurodollar Loans or Multicurrency Loans (with respect to the Available Foreign
Currency for which the Eurocurrency Rate cannot be determined only) shall be
continued as such at the end of the then current Interest Periods or (other than
any Eurodollar Loans or Multicurrency Loans previously requested and with
respect to which the Eurodollar Rate or Eurocurrency Rate, as the case may be,
was determined) shall be made, nor shall the U.S. Borrower have the right to
convert ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans.

            9.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) (i) Except as provided in
subsection 2.5, each borrowing of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans by the U.S.
Borrower from the U.S. Revolving Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata
according to the U.S. Dollar Funding Commitment Percentages of the U.S.
Revolving Lenders in effect on the date of such borrowing. Each borrowing of
Term Loans by the U.S. Borrower from the Term Lenders hereunder shall be made
pro rata according to the Term Percentages of the Term Lenders in effect on the
date of such borrowing. Each payment by the U.S. Borrower on account of any
facility fee hereunder shall be allocated by the General Administrative Agent
among the U.S. Revolving Lenders in accordance with the respective amounts which
such U.S. Revolving Lenders are entitled to receive pursuant to subsection
9.5(a). Any reduction of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of the U.S.
Revolving Lenders shall be allocated by the General Administrative Agent among
the U.S. Revolving Lenders pro rata according to the U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentages of the U.S. Revolving Lenders. Except as provided in
subsection 2.5 or subsection 9.4(d), each payment (other than any optional
prepayment) by the U.S. Borrower on account of principal of or interest on the
U.S. Revolving Credit Loans or the CAF Advances shall be allocated by the
General Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective principal
amounts thereof then due and owing to each U.S. Revolving Lender. Each optional
prepayment by the U.S. Borrower on account of principal of or interest on the
U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated by the General Administrative
Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts
thereof. Each payment (including any optional prepayment) by the U.S. Borrower
on account of principal of or interest on the Term Loans shall be allocated by
the General Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective principal
amounts thereof then due and owing to each Term Lender. All payments (including
prepayments) to be made by the U.S. Borrower hereunder (other than with respect
to Multicurrency

<PAGE>

                                                                              73

Loans), whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be
made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New
York City time, on the due date thereof to the General Administrative Agent, for
the account of the U.S. Revolving Lenders or the Term Lenders, as applicable, at
the General Administrative Agent's office specified in subsection 17.2, in
Dollars and in immediately available funds. The General Administrative Agent
shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled to receive the same
promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.

            (ii) Each borrowing of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans by the
Canadian Borrower from the Canadian Lenders hereunder shall be made, and any
reduction of the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments of the Canadian Lenders
shall be allocated by the Canadian Administrative Agent, pro rata according to
the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the Canadian Lenders.
Except as provided in subsection 9.4(d), each payment (other than any optional
prepayment) by the Canadian Borrower on account of principal of or interest on
the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated by the Canadian
Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective principal amounts of
the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans then due and owing to each Canadian Lender.
Each optional prepayment by the Canadian Borrower on account of principal of or
interest on the Canadian Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated by the
Canadian Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts thereof. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by
the Canadian Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees
or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made
prior to 12:00 Noon, Toronto time, on the due date thereof to the Canadian
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Canadian Lenders, at the Canadian
Administrative Agent's office specified in subsection 17.2, in Canadian Dollars
and in immediately available funds. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payments to the Canadian Lenders entitled to receive the same
promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.

            (iii) Each borrowing of Multicurrency Loans by the U.S. Borrower or
any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be made, and any reduction of the
Multicurrency Commitments shall be allocated by the General Administrative
Agent, pro rata according to the Multicurrency Commitment Percentages of the
Multicurrency Lenders. Except as provided in subsection 9.4(d), each payment
(including each prepayment) by the U.S. Borrower or a Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Multicurrency Loans shall be
allocated by the General Administrative Agent pro rata according to the
respective principal amounts of the Multicurrency Loans then due and owing by
such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to each Multicurrency Lender. All payments
(including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder in respect of
Multicurrency Loans, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or
otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made at or
before the payment time for the currency of such Multicurrency Loan set forth in
the Administrative Schedule, on the due date thereof to the General
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Multicurrency Lenders, at the
payment office for the currency of such Multicurrency Loan set forth in the
Administrative Schedule, in the currency of such Multicurrency Loan and in
immediately available funds. The General Administrative Agent shall distribute
such payments to the Multicurrency Lenders entitled to receive the same promptly
upon receipt in like funds as received.

            (iv) If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar
Loans, the Swing Line Multicurrency Loans, the Multicurrency Loans and the
Acceptances) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the
maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day,
and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at
the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar
Loan, Swing Line Multicurrency Loan or a Multicurrency Loan becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with

<PAGE>

                                                                              74

respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then
applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would
be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. Acceptances may
only mature on a Business Day.

            (b) A payment in euro shall be deemed to have been made by the
General Administrative Agent on the date on which it is required to be made
under this Agreement if the General Administrative Agent has, on or before that
date, taken all relevant steps to make that payment. With respect to the payment
of any amount denominated in euro, the General Administrative Agent shall not be
liable to any Borrower or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any
delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any
amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the General Administrative Agent
if the General Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to
achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in
immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds in the euro unit to
the account with the bank in the principal financial center in the Participating
Member State which the relevant Borrower or, as the case may be, any Lender
shall have specified for such purpose. In this paragraph (b), "all relevant
steps" means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the
regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the
General Administrative Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of
clearing or settling payments of euro.

            (c) Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have been
notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender
will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing
available to such Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender is making such amount available to such Administrative Agent,
and such Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is
made available to the applicable Borrower by the applicable Administrative
Agent, but is not made available to such Administrative Agent by the required
time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to such
Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per
annum equal to (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (in the case
of a borrowing of Term Loans, U.S. Revolving Credit Loans or CAF Advances), (ii)
the Canadian Administrative Agent's reasonable estimate of its average daily
cost of funds (in the case of a borrowing of Canadian Revolving Credit Loans or
Acceptances) and (iii) the General Administrative Agent's reasonable estimate of
its average daily cost of funds (in the case of a borrowing of Multicurrency
Loans), in each case for the period until such Lender makes such amount
immediately available to such Administrative Agent. A certificate of such
Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing
under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If
such Lender's share of such borrowing is made available to the applicable
Borrower by the applicable Administrative Agent, but is not made available to
such Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such
Borrowing Date, the applicable Borrower shall repay such Lender's share of such
borrowing (together with interest thereon from the date such amount was made
available to such Borrower (i) at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans
hereunder (in the case of amounts made available to the U.S. Borrower and
amounts made available in U.S. Dollars to the Canadian Borrower), (ii) at the
rate per annum applicable to Prime Rate Loans hereunder (in the case of amounts
made available in Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Borrower) and (iii) the
General Administrative Agent's reasonable estimate of its average daily cost of
funds plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Multicurrency Loans (in the case
of a borrowing of Multicurrency Loans)) to such Administrative Agent not later
than three Business Days after receipt of written notice from such
Administrative Agent specifying such Lender's share of such borrowing that was
not made available to such Administrative Agent. Nothing contained in this
subsection 9.8(b) shall prejudice any claims otherwise available to any

<PAGE>

                                                                              75

Borrower against any Lender as a result of such Lender's failure to make its
share of any borrowing available to an Administrative Agent for the account of a
Borrower.

            (d) Any amount payable by the General Administrative Agent to the
Lenders under this Agreement in the currency of a Participating Member State
shall be paid in the euro unit.

            (e) If, in relation to the currency of any Subsequent Participant,
the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with
respect to such currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice
in the London Interbank Market or, as the case may be, the Paris Interbank
Market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the euro, such
convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and
from the date on which such Subsequent Participant becomes a Participating
Member State; provided, that if any Multicurrency Loan in the currency of such
Subsequent Participant is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such
replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Multicurrency Loan, at the
end of the then current Interest Period.

            (f) Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or
rounding prescribed by any EMU Legislation and (i) without prejudice to the
respective liabilities for indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the
Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) without
increasing the Available Multicurrency Commitment of any Lender:

            (x) the Multicurrency Loans and each reference in this Agreement to
      a minimum amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in a national currency
      denomination of a Subsequent Participant to be paid to or by the General
      Administrative Agent shall, immediately upon such Subsequent Participant
      becoming a Participating Member State, be replaced by a reference to such
      reasonably comparable and convenient amount (or an integral multiple
      thereof) in the euro unit as the General Administrative Agent may from
      time to time specify; and

            (y) except as expressly provided in this subsection 9.8, each
      provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
      construction as the General Administrative Agent may from time to time
      specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the adoption of the euro
      in any Participating Member State and any relevant market conventions or
      practices relating to the euro.

            9.9 Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if
the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation
or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans or Multicurrency Loans or for the Swing Line Multicurrency
Lender to make or maintain Swing Line Multicurrency Loans as contemplated by
this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make (or to
participate in) Eurodollar Loans, Multicurrency Loans or Swing Line
Multicurrency Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans, Multicurrency Loans or Swing
Line Multicurrency Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall
forthwith be cancelled until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for
such Lender to make or maintain the affected Loans, (b) such Lender's Loans then
outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR
Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with
respect to such Eurodollar Loans or within such earlier period as may be
required by law and (c) such Lender's Multicurrency Loans and the Swing Line
Multicurrency Lender's Swing Line Multicurrency Loans shall be prepaid on the
last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. If any such
conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the
then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the U.S. Borrower shall pay
to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection
9.11.

            (i) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of
or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof shall make it unlawful for any Canadian Lender to create or maintain
Acceptances as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such
Canadian Lender hereunder to accept Drafts, purchase Acceptances, continue
Acceptances as such and convert Canadian Revolving Credit Loans to Acceptances
shall forthwith be cancelled until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful
for such Canadian Lender to create or maintain Acceptances and (b) such Canadian
Lender's then outstanding Acceptances, if any, shall be converted automatically
to Prime Rate Loans on the respective maturities thereof or within such earlier
period as may be permitted and required by law.

            (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of
or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof shall make it unlawful for any Canadian Lender to make or maintain
Canadian Base Rate Loans, (a) the commitment of such Canadian Lender hereunder
to make Canadian Base Rate Loans shall forthwith be cancelled until such time as
it shall no longer be unlawful for such Canadian Lender to make or maintain
Canadian Base Rate Loans and (b) such Canadian Lender's then outstanding
Canadian Base Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Canadian
Dollars and Prime Rate Loans on the respective maturities thereof or within such
earlier period as may be permitted and required by law.

            9.10 Requirements of Law. (a) In the event that any Requirement of
Law (or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof) or
compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

            (i) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
      special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets
      held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
      advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other
      acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise
      included in the determination of the Swing Line Multicurrency Rate,
      Eurodollar Rate or Eurocurrency Rate, including, without limitation, the
      imposition of any reserves with respect to Eurocurrency Liabilities under
      Regulation D of the Board; or

            (ii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender,
by any amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, renewing or
maintaining advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable
hereunder, in each case in respect of its Loans, its Acceptances or its
Participating Interests, then, in any such case, the applicable Borrower shall
promptly pay such Lender, upon receipt of its demand setting forth in reasonable
detail, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such
additional cost or reduced amount receivable, such additional amounts together
with interest on each such amount from the date two Business Days after the date
demanded until payment in full thereof at the ABR. A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by such
Lender, through the General Administrative Agent, to the applicable Borrower
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all amounts outstanding
hereunder.

            (b) In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the
adoption of any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy
(or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof) or
compliance by any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any

<PAGE>

                                                                              77

request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority, including, without
limitation, the issuance of any final rule, regulation or guideline, does or
shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such
corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level
below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or
such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission
by such Lender to the U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the General Administrative
Agent) of a written request therefor, the U.S. Borrower shall promptly pay to
such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such reduction.

            (c) If the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans or
Multicurrency Loans or if the obligation of the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender
to make Swing Line Multicurrency Loans has been suspended pursuant to subsection
9.7 or 9.9 for more than three consecutive months or any Lender has demanded
compensation under subsection 9.10(a) or 9.10(b), the U.S. Borrower shall have
the right to substitute a financial institution or financial institutions (which
may be one or more of the Lenders) reasonably satisfactory to the General
Administrative Agent by causing such financial institution or financial
institutions to purchase the rights (by paying to such Lender the principal
amount of its outstanding Loans together with accrued interest thereon and all
other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder and executing an
Assignment and Acceptance) and to assume the obligations of such Lender under
the Loan Documents; provided, that with respect to any such assignment involving
the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender, the replacement Swing Line Multicurrency
Lender shall have the rights and protections available under Section 3 with
respect to any outstanding Swing Line Multicurrency Loans. Upon such purchase
and assumption by such substituted financial institution or financial
institutions, the obligations of such Lender hereunder shall be discharged;
provided such Lender shall retain its rights hereunder with respect to periods
prior to such substitution including, without limitation, its rights to
compensation under this subsection 9.10.

            9.11 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to
hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain
or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in payment when due of
the principal amount of or interest on any Loans of such Lender, (b) default by
such Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after such Borrower has given
a notice of borrowing or a notice of conversion in accordance with this
Agreement, (c) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment after such
Borrower has given a notice in accordance with this Agreement, (d) the making of
a prepayment by such Borrower of a Eurodollar Loan, Multicurrency Loan or Swing
Line Multicurrency Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period
with respect thereto or the making by such Borrower of a prepayment of Money
Market Rate Swing Line Loans on a day which is not the last day of the interest
period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, in each case, any
such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained,
or (e) the prepayment by such Borrower of an Acceptance or an Acceptance Note on
a day which is not the maturity date thereof, including, without limitation, in
each case, any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds
obtained by it to maintain its Eurodollar Loans or Multicurrency Loans hereunder
or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained. A certificate as to any such loss or expense submitted by such Lender
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive
termination of this Agreement and payment of all amounts outstanding hereunder.

            9.12 Taxes. (a) All payments made by any Borrower to any Lender or
any Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of,
and without reduction or

<PAGE>

                                                                              78

withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now
or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority excluding, in the case of each Administrative Agent and
each Lender, income (including, for avoidance of doubt, any branch profit taxes)
or franchise taxes imposed on such Administrative Agent or such Lender by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Administrative Agent or such Lender is
organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or
by any jurisdiction in which such Lender's lending office is located or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or as a result of a
connection between such Lender and any jurisdiction other than a connection
resulting solely from entering into this Agreement (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings being thereinafter called
"Taxes"). Subject to the provisions of subsection 9.12(d), if any Taxes are
required to be withheld from any amounts payable by such Borrower to any
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so
payable to such Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the
extent necessary to yield to such Administrative Agent or such Lender (after
payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at
the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever
any Taxes are paid by any Borrower with respect to payments made in connection
with this Agreement, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Borrower shall
send to the applicable Administrative Agent for its own account or for the
account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original
official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof (or such
other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).
Subject to the provisions of subsection 9.12(d), if any Borrower fails to pay
any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
applicable Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify such Administrative Agent
and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by such Administrative Agent or any Lenders as a result of any such
failure.

            (b) Each Lender (other than a Lender that is treated as a
corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) that is incorporated
or organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
agrees that, prior to the first date any payment is due to be made to it
hereunder or under any Note, it will deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the
General Administrative Agent two valid, duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is entitled to
receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal backup withholding tax. Each U.S. Revolving Lender and each Term Lender
(and each other Lender lending to the U.S. Borrower) that is not incorporated or
organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
agrees that, prior to the first date any payment is due to be made to it
hereunder or under any Note, it will deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the
General Administrative Agent two valid, duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as
the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments by the U.S. Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it,
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes;
provided, however, that any Lender that is not the beneficial owner of a payment
(as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(c)(6)) and is unable to
provide a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI shall provide the U.S. Borrower and the General
Administrative Agent with a validly, duly executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY and
all necessary attachments establishing that it is entitled to receive payments
without deduction of any U.S. federal income taxes. Each Lender which delivers
to the U.S. Borrower and the General Administrative Agent a Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI or W-8IMY pursuant to the preceding sentences further undertakes to
deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the General Administrative Agent two further
copies of the said Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or W-8IMY, or successor applicable
forms, or other manner or certification, as the case may be, on or before the
date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or otherwise is

<PAGE>

                                                                              79

required to be resubmitted as a condition to obtaining an exemption from
withholding tax, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent form previously delivered by it to the U.S. Borrower, and such
extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the U.S.
Borrower, in each case, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or
W-8IMY or successor applicable form that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments by the U.S. Borrower under this Agreement without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes unless any change in
treaty, law or regulation or official interpretation thereof has occurred prior
to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders
all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly
completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such
Lender advises the U.S. Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments
without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax or any
deduction or withholding of United States backup withholding tax. To the extent
an Administrative Agent is not also a Lender hereunder, such Administrative
Agent shall comply with this paragraph as if such Administrative Agent were a
U.S. Revolving Lender.

            (c) Each Multicurrency Lender shall, upon request by a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower (or the U.S. Borrower on its behalf), within a reasonable
period of time after such request, deliver to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
or the applicable governmental or taxing authority, as the case may be, any form
or certificate required in order that any payment by such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower under this Agreement or any Notes to such Lender may be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes
(or to allow any such deduction or withholding to be at a reduced rate) imposed
on such payment under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower is incorporated or organized, provided that such Lender is
legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such form or certificate and
in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission
would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

            (d) Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any other Borrower shall be
required to pay any additional amounts to any Administrative Agent or any Lender
(or Transferee except to the extent such Transferee's transferor was entitled,
at the time of transfer, to receive additional amounts from the U.S. Borrower)
in respect of Taxes pursuant to subsection 9.12(a) if (i) the obligation to pay
such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by an
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) to comply with the
requirements of subsection 9.12(b) or (c) (or in the case of a Transferee, the
requirements of subsection 17.6(h)); (ii) the obligation to pay such additional
amounts arises as a result of U.S. federal withholding tax imposed on the date
hereof (or, in the case of a Transferee, the date such Transferee obtained its
interest in this Agreement, any Loan or any Note); or (iii) such Lender is a
Conduit Lender, unless the Lender designating such Conduit Lender also complies
with the provisions of Section 9.12(b) or (c) as if such designating Lender were
a Lender hereunder.

            (e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Borrower shall
have any obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection
9.12 to any Canadian Lender in respect of any time after which such Canadian
Lender has ceased to maintain its status as a resident of Canada for the
purposes of the Tax Act.

            (f) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including
reasonable efforts to change its lending office) to avoid or to minimize any
amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this subsection 9.12;
provided, however, that such efforts shall not impose on such Lender any
additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its
reasonable judgment to be material.

<PAGE>

                                                                              80

            (g) The agreements in subsection 9.12(a) shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts
payable hereunder until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations
for such taxes.

            (h) If an Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund or direct credit in respect of and
specifically associated with any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a
Borrower, or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts, it
shall promptly notify such Borrower of such refund or direct credit and shall
pay over the amount of such refund or direct credit, without interest (other
than interest paid or credited by the relevant Governmental Authority
attributable to such refund or direct credit) to the Borrower but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Borrower
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or direct credit), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses of such Person; provided that the Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent or Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid
over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or Lender in
the event the Administrative Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund or
direct credit to such Governmental Authority. If an Administrative Agent or any
Lender shall become aware that its entitled to receive a refund or direct credit
in respect of Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with
respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts, it shall promptly
notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund or direct credit and
shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request for such by the Borrower
(whether as a result of notification that it has made of such to the Borrower or
otherwise), make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund or
direct credit and contest such Taxes or liabilities if (i) the Borrower has
agreed in writing to pay all of such Lender's or Administrative Agent's
reasonable costs and expenses relating to such claim and (ii) such Lender or
Administrative Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it would not
be materially disadvantaged or prejudiced as a result of such refund claim (it
being understood that the mere existence of fees, charges, costs or expenses
that a Borrower has offered to and agreed to pay on behalf of the Lender or
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to be materially disadvantageous to
such person). This paragraph shall not be construed to require any
Administrative Agent or Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or
any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any
Administrative Agent or Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower the
payment of which would place such Administrative Agent or Lender in a less
favorable net after-tax position than such Administrative Agent or Lender would
have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Taxes
had never been paid.

            (i) With respect to Loans and other extensions of credit made
available to Lear Corporation (UK) Limited, the provisions of Exhibit O shall
also be applicable.

            9.13 Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. (a) In
the event that (x) any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate
pursuant to subsection 9.10, (y) any Borrower has been required to pay any Taxes
in respect of any Lender pursuant to subsection 9.12 or (z) any Lender shall not
have consented to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of any of
the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (A), (B), (E) and
(F), of the proviso to the second sentence of Section 17.1(a) in a circumstance
where the Majority Lenders have consented to such change, waiver, discharge or
termination, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, upon
notice to such Lender and the General Administrative Agent, to require such
Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in subsection 17.6) all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to another bank or financial institution
identified by the U.S. Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the General
Administrative Agent (subject to the restrictions

<PAGE>
                                                                              81

contained in subsection 17.6) which shall assume such obligations; provided that
(i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order
of any Governmental Authority, (ii) the Borrower or the assignee, as the case
may be, shall pay to the transferor Lender in immediately available funds on the
date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of
payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its
account or owed to it hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts payable
pursuant to subsection 9.10 and any amounts that would be payable under
Subsection 9.11 if such amount were a prepayment made in the amount and on the
date of such assignment and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting
from an event described in clause (z) above, the applicable Assignee shall have
agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination.

            (b) In the event that any Multicurrency Lender (including a
Transferee) does not, for any reason, deliver all forms and certificates
required to permit all payments by all Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers hereunder to
be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any Taxes, the U.S. Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, require such Multicurrency Lender, upon five
Business Days' prior written notice from the U.S. Borrower, to assign the entire
then outstanding principal amount of the Multicurrency Loans owing to such
Multicurrency Lender and the entire Multicurrency Commitment of such
Multicurrency Lender (including its obligation to share risk participations in
any Swing Line Multicurrency Loans) to one or more Lenders selected by the U.S.
Borrower which, after giving effect to such assignment, will have a U.S.
Revolving Credit Commitment in excess of its Multicurrency Commitment. In the
case of any such assignment to another Lender, such assignee Lender shall assign
to such assignor Multicurrency Lender a principal amount of outstanding U.S.
Revolving Credit Loans owing to such assignee Lender equal to the lesser of (i)
the sum of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of (x) the Multicurrency
Loans assigned to such assignee Lender and (y) such assignee Lender's
Multicurrency Commitment Percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
all Swing Line Multicurrency Loans on such date and (ii) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans owing to such
assignee Lender. Any such assignments pursuant to the two precedent sentences
shall be effected in accordance with subsection 17.6(c) and, as a condition to
such assignment, simultaneously with such assignment, the U.S. Borrower shall
pay or cause to be paid all amounts due to the assignor Multicurrency Lender and
the assignee Lender hereunder on the effective date of such assignments.

            9.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans (other than the Term
Loans) shall be used for general corporate purposes of the U.S. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, including acquisitions and as a backup to commercial paper
facilities. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used (a) to refinance the
term loan facility under the Existing Credit Agreement, (b) to fund the deposit
into the Collateral Account and the 2008/2009 Collateral Account and (c) after
the uses described in clauses (a) and (b), for general corporate purposes.

            SECTION 10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

            To induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the
Loans, and to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each
Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Administrative Agent and to each
Lender that:

            10.1 Financial Statements. The audited consolidated balance sheets
of the U.S. Borrower as of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of
income and cash flow for the fiscal year ending on such date, heretofore
furnished to the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders and certified by a
Responsible Officer of the U.S. Borrower are complete and correct in all
material respects

<PAGE>
                                                                              82

and fairly present the financial condition of the U.S. Borrower on such date.
All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes
thereto, have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent
basis. All liabilities, direct and contingent, of the U.S. Borrower on such date
required to be disclosed pursuant to GAAP are disclosed in such financial
statements.

            10.2 No Change. As of the Restatement Date only, there has been no

its Domestic Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid
leasehold interest in, all its other material property, and none of such
property is subject to any Lien except as Liens permitted by this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.

of the applicable Loan Party in the Collateral owned by such Loan Party, and the
Security Documents, together with the filings of Form UCC-1 (or other similar

such Loan Parties in all of the Collateral described therein, subject to no
other Liens other than Liens permitted by this Agreement. All such Liens are
perfected Liens (or similar legal status) other than with respect to (a) any
Collateral to the extent perfection would require filing or other actions in any
foreign jurisdiction (other than Collateral consisting of the uncertificated
Capital Stock of Specified Foreign Subsidiaries, with respect to which (for
avoidance of doubt) the relevant Liens are perfected Liens (or similar legal
status), subject to subsection 12.7(d)) and (b) any Collateral consisting of
titled vehicles, vessels and other collateral which may not be perfected through
the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (or similar

General Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the

Administrative Agent or any Lender (subject to reasonable confidentiality
agreements), upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties,
to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its
affairs, finances and condition with its officers, all at such reasonable times
and as often as reasonably requested; provided, that such inspections shall be
coordinated through the General Administrative Agent so that in the absence of
an Event of Default, not more than one such inspection shall occur in any
calendar year.

Agent and each Lender:

            (a) of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

            (b) of any litigation or proceeding affecting the U.S. Borrower or
      any of its Subsidiaries in which the then reasonably anticipated exposure
      of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries is $50,000,000 or more and not
      covered by insurance, or in which injunctive or similar relief is sought
      which is then reasonably anticipated to have an adverse economic effect on
      the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries of $50,000,000 or more;

            (c) if any Subsidiary has become a 5% Subsidiary as of the last day
      of any fiscal quarter as evidenced by the financial statements required to
      be delivered pursuant to subsection 12.1(a) or (b);

            (d) if any Domestic Subsidiary or any of the U.S. Borrower's or any

      Immaterial Subsidiary as of the last day of any fiscal quarter as
      evidenced by the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to
      subsection 12.1(a) or (b); and

            (e) the occurrence of any event or condition which would reasonably
      be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

reasonably requested by the General Administrative Agent, (B) if requested by
the Administrative Agent, cause all of the Capital Stock owned directly or

determines that a pledge of such Capital Stock would result in adverse tax
consequences under Section 956 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto
or any similar foreign tax law) and so long as the U.S. Borrower or such
Domestic Subsidiary, as the case may be, complies with subsection (ii) below
with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary.

            (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the U.S. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are not able to pledge the Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary

non-consensual Liens permitted hereunder); and (z) cause each Foreign Subsidiary
Holdco to observe corporate or similar formalities and to maintain its separate
identifiable corporate or limited liability company existence separate and apart
from such Foreign Subsidiary and each other Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower.

            (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, cause the Capital Stock of Lear
ASC Corporation and any other Special Purpose Subsidiary or Subsidiary of the

pledged as Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents.

            (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to subsequent 12.7(d)
below (w) cause Lear Trim to be legally and beneficially owned by a wholly-owned
Domestic Subsidiary which is a corporation or limited liability company that
does not engage in any business other than owning the Capital Stock of Lear Trim

thereto; (x) cause the Capital Stock of Lear Trim Holdco to be pledged pursuant
to the Security Documents; (y) cause Lear Trim Holdco not to incur, assume or
permit to exist any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Extensions of
Credit under this Agreement) or material payment obligation (other than under

Liens created pursuant to a Security Document and immaterial or non-consensual
Liens permitted hereunder); and (z) cause Lear Trim Holdco to observe corporate
or similar formalities and to maintain its separate identifiable corporate or
limited liability company existence separate and apart from Lear Trim and each
other Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower.

            (v) Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Capital Stock
of each Subsidiary which is pledged pursuant to a Security Document which can be
certificated to be certificated.

            (c) As soon as possible if requested by the General Administrative
Agent, cause (i) each of the U.S. Borrower's direct or indirect Domestic
Subsidiaries (other than any Immaterial Subsidiary) to become a Subsidiary
Guarantor by executing and delivering a joinder or assumption agreement to the
Subsidiary Guarantee in a form reasonably requested by the General
Administrative Agent if such Subsidiary is not then a Subsidiary Guarantor and
(ii) opinions of counsel to the U.S. Borrower, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the General Administrative Agent, covering such matters in
respect of the Subsidiary Guarantee as the General Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request to be delivered to the General Administrative Agent;
provided, that any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower (whether or not such
Subsidiary satisfies the criteria set forth in clause (i) above in this
paragraph (c)), which has guaranteed any Public Indebtedness of the U.S.
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required in any event to execute
and deliver a joinder or assumption agreement to the Subsidiary Guarantee or
otherwise become a party to the Subsidiary Guarantee concurrently with entering

            (d) Cause the post-closing matters identified on Schedule VII to be

or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all its

amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect
thereto have been provided on the books of the U.S. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries.

            SECTION 13. NEGATIVE COVENANTS

            The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees that, so long as the Commitments (or
any of them) remain in effect, any Loan, Acceptance Reimbursement Obligation,

            13.2 Limitations on Fundamental Changes. Unless expressly permitted
under this Agreement, enter into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation, or
liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or
dissolution), or convey, sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of,
all or substantially all of its property, business or assets, or make any
material change in its present method of conducting business, except:

            (a) any Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower may be merged or
      consolidated with or into the U.S. Borrower (provided that the U.S.
      Borrower shall be the continuing or surviving corporation) or with or into
      any one or more other Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower;

            (b) any Subsidiary may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of
      any or all of its assets (upon voluntary liquidation or otherwise) to the
      U.S. Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower;

            (c) the U.S. Borrower may merge or consolidate with any Person,
      provided that (A) the U.S. Borrower is the surviving corporation of such
      merger or consolidation, (B) after giving effect thereto, no Default or
      Event of Default is in existence and (C) if such merger or consolidation
      had occurred on the first day of the period of four full fiscal quarters
      most recently ended prior to the date of such event, the U.S. Borrower
      would have been in compliance with subsection 13.1 during such period of
      four full fiscal quarters; and

            (d) any Subsidiary may be merged, consolidated or amalgamated with
      or into any Person, or may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of
      its assets (upon voluntary liquidation, dissolution or otherwise) to any
      Person or may liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself if (A) after giving
      effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default is in existence and (B) if
      such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, sale, lease, transfer or other
      disposition had occurred on the first day of the period of four fiscal
      quarters most recently ended prior to the date of such event, the U.S.
      Borrower would have been in compliance with subsection 13.1 during such
      period of four full fiscal quarters.

For avoidance of doubt, the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries may enter into
reorganizations substantially consistent with achieving the corporate structure
described in Schedule IX to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
extent any transaction otherwise permitted by this subsection 13.2 constitutes a
Disposition to a Person which is not then the U.S. Borrower or a Subsidiary
thereof, such Disposition must comply with the limits set forth in subsections
13.4(b) and (i).

Date and listed on Schedule X (and any extensions, renewals and replacements of
any such Liens listed on Schedule X so long as the principal amount of
Indebtedness or other obligations secured thereby is not increased and so long
as such Liens are not extended to any other property of the U.S. Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries)) in an aggregate principal amount at any time exceeding

Liens listed on Schedule X so long as the principal amount of Indebtedness or
other obligations secured thereby is not increased and so long as such Liens are
not extended to any other property of the U.S. Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries) securing Indebtedness and other obligations in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $17,000,000 and (ii) other Liens securing
Indebtedness and other obligations in an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed $50,000,000.

      related assets in connection with a Receivables Financing Transaction or

            (h) the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary may Dispose of assets or

      Date, an amount equal to 25% of Consolidated Assets on December 31, 2005;
      provided, however, to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds of any

Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result
therefrom the U.S. Borrower may make Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount
not to exceed (a) $25,000,000 during the period from and including the
Restatement Date to and including December 31, 2006 and (b)(i) $40,000,000 in
any fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2007 plus (ii) on and after January
1, 2008, 50% of Consolidated Net Income of the U.S. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from
January 1, 2007 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial
statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 12.1 plus (iii) 100% of the
Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance and sale after the Restatement Date of
common stock of the U.S. Borrower or other Capital Stock of the U.S. Borrower
approved by the General Administrative Agent plus (iv) amounts required to be
expended by the U.S. Borrower to make mandatory purchases of its Capital Stock
pursuant to employee benefit plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the
cashless exercise of stock options granted pursuant to any employee benefit plan
shall not be construed as a Restricted Payment and (y) the U.S. Borrower may
make any such permitted Restricted Payment within 60 days after the date of
declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such Restricted Payment would
have complied with this Section 13.5.

            13.6 Negative Pledge Clauses. Enter into or suffer to exist or
become effective any agreement with respect to any Public Indebtedness or any
Specified Private Indebtedness that prohibits or limits (other than a limitation
on the maximum principal amount of obligations that may be secured at any time,
so long as such limitation is not less than the sum of the Commitments then in
effect and the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans)
the ability of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries to create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property (including
Capital Stock) or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure
its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party or any
amendment, restatement or refinancing thereof other than (a) this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, (b) any agreements governing any purchase money Liens
or Capital Lease Obligations otherwise permitted hereby (in which case, any
prohibition or limitation shall only be effective against the assets financed
thereby), (c) the Existing Public Indentures as

<PAGE>

                                                                              96

in effect on the Restatement Date and (d) any agreements governing any
Receivable Financing Transaction (in which case, any prohibition or limitation
shall only be effective against the assets conveyed thereunder).

            13.7 Indebtedness. Create, incur or suffer to exist any Public
Indebtedness (other than the Existing Public Indentures) or Specified Private
Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower (or Guarantee Obligation of the U.S. Borrower
in respect thereof) in a single transaction or series of related transactions in
an aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000 or more unless such Indebtedness
does not require any scheduled or mandatory (other than customary provisions
that would apply in a public high yield debt securities financing, including
without limitation upon change of control, asset sales and acceleration)
principal payments, prepayments, redemptions or purchases prior to June 30,
2012.

            13.8 Incorporation of Certain Covenants. If at any time any
financial maintenance covenant, operating covenant (other than an incurrence
covenant) or event of default in any agreement governing existing Specified
Private Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower or any of its wholly-owned
Subsidiaries is more restrictive than this Agreement and the General
Administrative Agent requests in writing incorporation of such financial
covenant, operating covenant or event of default, such financial covenant,
operating covenant or event of default as set forth from time to time in such
agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated in this Agreement for the benefit
of the Secured Parties (and the U.S. Borrower agrees to notify the General
Administrative Agent of the terms of such covenants and events of default upon
the effectiveness of or amendment from time to time of any such agreement
governing Specified Private Indebtedness and upon any existing Indebtedness
becoming Specified Private Indebtedness). It is understood and agreed that, with
respect to any agreement governing Specified Private Indebtedness, at any time
the aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder and the commitments
thereunder are less than $75,000,000, this covenant shall cease to apply with
respect to such agreement.

            13.9 Restructurings. Except in the ordinary course of business,
enter into or consummate any corporate or similar reorganization, whether in a
single transaction or in a series of related transactions, which, in the
judgment of the U.S. Borrower, would materially reduce the value of the
Collateral (taken as a whole) to the Lenders; it being understood that any
Disposition of assets to, or a merger, consolidation or liquidation with or
into, a Non-Guarantor Pledged Entity (as hereinafter defined) or another
Subsidiary which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a Non-Guarantor Pledged
Entity shall not be construed as reducing the value of the Collateral. For
purposes of this Section 13.9, a "Non-Guarantor Pledged Entity" shall mean a
Subsidiary which is not a Guarantor but the Capital Stock of which is pledged
pursuant to the Security Documents.

            SECTION 14. GUARANTEE

            14.1 Guarantee. (a) The U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to the General Administrative Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders and their respective
successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment
and performance by each of the other Borrowers when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations of such Borrowers.

            (b) The U.S. Borrower further agrees to pay any and all expenses
(including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel, provided that the U.S. Borrower shall only be required to pay the fees
and disbursements of (i) one counsel for the General Administrative Agent, (ii)
one counsel for the Canadian Administrative Agent, (iii) one counsel for the
Canadian Lenders, (iv) one

                                                                              97

counsel for the U.S. Revolving Lenders and the Term Lenders and (v) one counsel
for the General Administrative Agent and the Multicurrency Lenders in the
jurisdiction of each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) which may be paid or incurred
by the Administrative Agents, or any Lender in enforcing, or obtaining advice of
counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of
the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting
against, the U.S. Borrower under this Section. This Section shall remain in full
force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are
terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto any Borrower
may be free from any Obligations.

            (c) No payment or payments made by any Borrower or any other Person
or received or collected by the Administrative Agents or any Lender from any
Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any
set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in
reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce,
release or otherwise affect the liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder which
shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable hereunder for
the Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are
terminated.

            (d) The U.S. Borrower agrees that whenever, at any time, or from
time to time, it shall make any payment to any Administrative Agent or any
Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify such Administrative
Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under this Section
for such purpose.

            14.2 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by
the U.S. Borrower hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of the U.S.
Borrower by any Administrative Agent or any Lender, the U.S. Borrower shall not
be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Administrative Agent or
any Lender against the other Borrowers or against any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by any Administrative Agent or any Lender for
the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the U.S. Borrower seek or be entitled
to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the other Borrowers in respect of
payments made by the U.S. Borrower hereunder, until all amounts owing to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the other Borrowers on account of the
Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount
shall be paid to the U.S. Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any
time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount
shall be held by the U.S. Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agents and
the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the U.S. Borrower, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by the U.S. Borrower, be turned over to the General
Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the U.S. Borrower (duly
indorsed by the U.S. Borrower to the General Administrative Agent, if required),
to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such
order as the General Administrative Agent may determine.

            14.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations; Waiver of
Rights. The U.S. Borrower shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against the U.S. Borrower, and without notice
to or further assent by the U.S. Borrower, any demand for payment of any of the
Obligations made by any Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by
such Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Obligations continued,
and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part
thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset
with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed,
extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or
released by any Administrative Agent or any Lender, and any Loan Documents and
any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in

<PAGE>

                                                                              98

accordance with the provisions thereof as the General Administrative Agent or
the Lenders (or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable
from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at
any time held by any Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of any
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure,
perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the
Obligations or for this Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making
any demand hereunder against the U.S. Borrower, any Administrative Agent or any
Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the
relevant Borrower or any other guarantor, and any failure by any Administrative
Agent or any Lender to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any
such Borrower or any such other guarantor or any release of such Borrower or
such other guarantor shall not relieve the U.S. Borrower of its obligations or
liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies,
express or implied, or as a matter of law, of any Administrative Agent or any
Lender against the U.S. Borrower. For the purposes hereof "demand" shall include
the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

            14.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The U.S. Borrower waives
any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Administrative Agent or
any Lender upon this Agreement or acceptance of this Agreement; the Obligations,
and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted
or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this
Agreement; and all dealings between the Borrowers and the U.S. Borrower and the
other Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agents and the Lenders,
on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. The U.S. Borrower waives diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to
or upon the other Borrowers and the U.S. Borrower with respect to the
Obligations. This Section 14 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the
Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of
offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any
Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim
(other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be
available to or be asserted by the Borrowers (other than the U.S. Borrower)
against any Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance
whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrowers or the U.S.
Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable
or legal discharge of the Borrowers for the Obligations, or of the U.S. Borrower
under this Section 14, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against the U.S. Borrower, any Administrative
Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such
rights and remedies as it may have against the other relevant Borrower or
against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of
offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Administrative Agent or any
Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from
such other Borrower or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee
or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the other Borrowers
or any other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset, shall not relieve the U.S. Borrower of any liability hereunder, and
shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or
available as a matter of law, of any Administrative Agent or any Lender against
the U.S. Borrower. This Section 14 shall remain in full force and effect and be
binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the U.S. Borrower
and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Administrative Agents and the Lenders, and their respective successors,
indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations and the
obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Agreement shall have been satisfied
by payment in full and the Commitments shall be terminated,

<PAGE>

                                                                              99

notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement the
Borrowers may be free from any Obligations.

            14.5 Reinstatement. This Section 14 shall continue to be effective,
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or upon
or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its
property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

            14.6 Payments. The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees that all payments
required to be made by it hereunder will be made to the General Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders, as the case
may be, without set-off or counterclaim in accordance with the terms of the
Obligations, including, without limitation, in the currency in which payment is
due.

            SECTION 15. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

            Upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

            (a) Any Borrower shall fail to pay (i) any principal of any Loans or
      any Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations when due (whether at the stated
      maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms
      thereof or hereof or (ii) any interest on any Loans, any Reimbursement
      Obligations or Subsidiary Reimbursement Obligations, or any fee or other
      amount payable hereunder, within five days after any such interest, fee or
      other amount becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof; or

            (b) Any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the U.S.
      Borrower or any other Loan Party herein or in any other Loan Document or

      material respect on or as of the date made or deemed made; or

            (c) The U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party shall default in the
      observance or performance of any negative covenant contained in Section
      13.1 or 13.2; or

            (d) The U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party shall default in the
      observance or performance of Section 13.3, and such default shall continue
      unremedied for a period of 10 days after notice thereof from the General
      Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the U.S. Borrower; or

            (e) The U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall default in
      the observance or performance of any other agreement contained in this
      Agreement, any Security Document or any Note other than as provided in (a)
      through (d) above, and such default shall continue unremedied for a period
      of 30 days after notice thereof from the General Administrative Agent or
      the Required Lenders to the U.S. Borrower; or

            (f) This Agreement, any of the Security Documents or any Note shall
      cease, for any reason, to be in full force and effect, or the U.S.
      Borrower or any other Loan Party shall so assert, or any security interest
      created by any of the Security Documents shall cease to be enforceable

<PAGE>

                                                                             100

      and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby, or
      the U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party shall so assert, except, in each
      case, as provided in subsection 17.17; or

            (g) (i) The U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall default
      in any payment of principal of or interest on any Material Indebtedness
      beyond the period of grace (not to exceed 90 days), if any, provided in
      the instrument or agreement under which such Material Indebtedness was
      created or (ii) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material
      Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables
      or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or
      both) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or
      agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material Indebtedness to become
      due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance
      thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this clause
      (g)(ii) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a
      result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets
      securing such Indebtedness; or

            (h) An involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary
      petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other
      relief in respect of the U.S. Borrower or any Material Subsidiary or its
      debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any Federal, state or
      foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or
      hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
      custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the U.S.

      undismissed for 60 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of
      the foregoing shall be entered; or

            (i) The U.S. Borrower or any Material Subsidiary shall (i)
      voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking

      amount (to the extent not fully covered by insurance) in excess of
      $50,000,000 shall be entered against the U.S. Borrower or any of its
      Subsidiaries, and such judgments shall have not been paid, vacated,

                                                                             101

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified
in paragraph (i) or (j) above with respect of the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian
Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the
Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all Reimbursement
Obligations, Subsidiary Reimbursement Obligations and Acceptance Reimbursement
Obligations, regardless of whether or not such Reimbursement Obligations,
Subsidiary Reimbursement Obligations and Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations
are then due and payable) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if
such event is any other Event of Default, any of the following actions may be
taken: (i) with the consent of the Majority Lenders, the General Administrative
Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Lenders, the General
Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the U.S. Borrower declare the
Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall
immediately terminate; (ii) with the consent of the Majority Lenders, the
General Administrative Agent may, or upon the direction of the Majority Lenders,
the General Administrative Agent shall, by notice of default to the U.S.
Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all
other amounts owing under this Agreement (including all amounts payable in
respect of Letters of Credit whether or not the beneficiaries thereof shall have
presented the drafts and other documents required thereunder) and the Notes to
be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due
and payable and (iii) the General Administrative Agent may, and upon the
direction of the Majority Lenders shall, exercise any and all remedies and other
rights provided pursuant to this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents.

            With respect to all outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and
Subsidiary Reimbursement Obligations which have not matured at the time of an
acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the U.S. Borrower shall at
such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by and maintained by the
General Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all such
Reimbursement Obligations and Subsidiary Reimbursement Obligations. Amounts held
in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the General Administrative
Agent to the payment of Reimbursement Obligations and Subsidiary Reimbursement
Obligations when drawings under the related Letters of Credit are made, and any
balance in such account shall be applied to repay other obligations of the U.S.
Borrower hereunder. After all Reimbursement Obligations and Subsidiary
Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of
the U.S. Borrower hereunder shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any,
in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the U.S. Borrower.

            With respect to all outstanding Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations
in respect of Acceptances which have not matured at the time of an acceleration
pursuant to the second preceding paragraph, the Canadian Borrower shall at such
time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by and maintained by the
Canadian Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted face
amount of all such unmatured Acceptances. Amounts held in such cash collateral
account shall be applied by the Canadian Administrative Agent to the payment of
maturing Acceptances, and any balance in such account shall be applied to repay
other obligations of the Canadian Borrower hereunder and under any Canadian
Revolving Credit Notes. After all Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations shall
have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Canadian Borrower hereunder
and under any Canadian Revolving Credit Notes shall have been paid in full, the
balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the
Canadian Borrower.

            Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment,
demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

            SECTION 16. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS, THE DOCUMENTATION AGENTS, THE
                        SYNDICATION AGENTS, THE SENIOR

<PAGE>

                                                                             102

                        MANAGING AGENTS, THE MANAGING AGENTS AND THE CO-AGENTS

            16.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints (a) JPMorgan Chase Bank as the General Administrative Agent and (b) The
Bank of Nova Scotia as the Canadian Administrative Agent of such Lender under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably
authorizes (a) JPMorgan Chase Bank to act as the General Administrative Agent of
such Lender, and (b) The Bank of Nova Scotia to act as the Canadian
Administrative Agent, and, in each case, to take such action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise
such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the General
Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, respectively, by the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agents shall not
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or
any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against either
Administrative Agent.

            16.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Administrative Agent may execute any
of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither Administrative Agent
shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

            16.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of
its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be
taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found to
have resulted from its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in
any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by such Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither Administrative Agent shall be under
any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of any Loan Party.

            16.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Each Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit,
letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document
or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the
Borrowers or any of them), independent accountants and other experts selected by
such Administrative Agent. Each Administrative Agent may deem and treat the
payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice
of assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with such Administrative
Agent. Each Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it
shall first receive

<PAGE>

                                                                             103

such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified
to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. Each Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders (or, if so
specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all
future holders of the Loans and the Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations.

            16.5 Notice of Default. Neither Administrative Agent shall be deemed
to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder unless such Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or
a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that
the General Administrative Agent receives such a notice, such Administrative
Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The General Administrative Agent
shall take such action reasonably promptly with respect to such Default or Event
of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders (or, if so
specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the
General Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, such
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

            16.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agents and Other Lender. Each
Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by
such Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs
of any Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by
such Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each
Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and made its own decision to
make its Extensions of Credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon
either Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as
it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by an Administrative Agent hereunder, such Administrative Agent shall
not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition
(financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrowers which
may come into the possession of such Administrative Agent or any of its
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates.

            16.7 Indemnification. Each U.S. Revolving Lender and each Term
Lender (together with, in the case of a U.S. Common Lender, its Counterpart
Lender on a joint and several basis) agrees to indemnify each Administrative
Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to
its Aggregate Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is
sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the
Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans, the Acceptance

<PAGE>

                                                                             104

Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder shall have
been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Percentage
immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans
and the Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against such Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out
of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such
Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided
that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements that are found to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Administrative Agent. The agreements in
this subsection shall survive the payment of the Loans, the Acceptance
Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

            16.8 Administrative Agents in their Individual Capacity. Each
Administrative Agent and its respective affiliates may make loans to, accept
Drafts, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
any Loan Party as though such Administrative Agent was not an Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans
made or renewed by such Administrative Agent, any Acceptances created by such
Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it and
any Note or Acceptance Note issued to it, such Administrative Agent shall have
the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative
Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include each Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity.

            16.9 Successor Administrative Agents. The General Administrative
Agent may resign as General Administrative Agent, and the Canadian
Administrative Agent may resign as Canadian Administrative Agent, in each case
upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders and the other Administrative Agent. If
either Administrative Agent shall resign as General Administrative Agent or
Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the
U.S. Revolving Lenders (in the case of a resignation of the General
Administrative Agent) or the Canadian Lenders (in the case of a resignation of
the Canadian Administrative Agent) a successor administrative agent for the
Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall (unless an Event of Default
under Section 15(a), (h), (i) or (j) with respect to any Borrower shall have
occurred and be continuing) be approved by the U.S. Borrower (such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld), whereupon such successor administrative agent
shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the resigning Administrative
Agent, and the terms "General Administrative Agent" or "Canadian Administrative
Agent", as the case may be, shall mean such successor administrative agent
effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative
Agent's rights, powers and duties as either General Administrative Agent or
Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be terminated, without
any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent
or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any
resigning Administrative Agent's resignation as either General Administrative
Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of
this subsection shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was either General Administrative Agent or Canadian
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.

            16.10 The Documentation Agents, Syndication Agents, Senior Managing
Agents, Managing Agents and Co-Agents. Each Lender, the Documentation Agents,
each Syndication Agent,

<PAGE>

                                                                             105

each Senior Managing Agent, each Managing Agent and each Co-Agent acknowledges
that the Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent, Senior Managing Agents,
Managing Agents and Co-Agents, in such capacity, shall have no duties or
responsibilities, and shall incur no liabilities, under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents in its capacity as such.

            SECTION 17. MISCELLANEOUS

            17.1 Amendments and Waivers. (a) Neither this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented,
waived or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection
17.1. The Majority Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Majority
Lenders, the Administrative Agents may, from time to time, (i) enter into with
the U.S. Borrower written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to
the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights or
obligations of the Lenders or of the U.S. Borrower hereunder or thereunder or
(ii) waive at the U.S. Borrower's request, on such terms and conditions as the
Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agents, as the case may be, may specify
in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,
however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
shall:

      (A) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any
      Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or any Acceptance or any Acceptance Note or
      of any scheduled installment thereof, or reduce the stated rate of any
      interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any
      payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of
      any Lender's Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment, Multicurrency
      Commitment or U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, in each case without the
      consent of each Lender affected thereby;

      (B) amend, supplement, modify or waive any provision of this subsection
      17.1 or reduce the percentages specified in the definition of "Majority
      Lenders" or consent to the assignment or transfer by the U.S. Borrower of
      any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
      Documents, in each case without the consent of all the Lenders or reduce
      the percentages specified in the definitions of (I) "Majority U.S.
      Lenders" or "Majority Multicurrency Lenders" without the consent of all of
      the U.S. Lenders or (II) "Majority Canadian Lenders" without the consent
      of all of the Canadian Lenders;

      (C) amend, supplement, modify or waive any provision of Section 16 or any
      other provision of this Agreement governing the respective rights or
      obligations of the General Administrative Agent or the Canadian
      Administrative Agent without the consent of the then Administrative
      Agents, respectively;

      (D) amend, supplement, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or any
      other provision of this Agreement governing the rights and obligations of
      the Swing Line Lenders or the definitions used therein without the consent
      of each relevant Swing Line Lender;

      (E) extend the expiring date on any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving
      Credit Termination Date without the consent of each Lender; or

      (F) release all or substantially all of the guarantees contained in
      Section 14 and under the Subsidiary Guarantee without the consent of each
      Lender other than as permitted under subsection 17.17.

<PAGE>

                                                                             106

Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this
subsection 17.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the
Borrowers, the Lenders, the General Administrative Agent, the Canadian
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans and the Reimbursement
Obligations, Subsidiary Reimbursement Obligations and Acceptance Reimbursement
Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the Lenders, the General
Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

            (b) In addition to amendments effected pursuant to the foregoing
paragraph (a), Schedules II and III may be amended as follows:

            (i) Schedule II will be amended to add Subsidiaries of the U.S.
      Borrower as additional Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers upon (A) execution and
      delivery by the U.S. Borrower, any such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and
      the General Administrative Agent, of a Joinder Agreement providing for any
      such Subsidiary to become a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, and (B) delivery
      to the General Administrative Agent of (I) a Foreign Subsidiary Opinion in
      respect of such additional Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and (II) such other
      documents with respect thereto as the General Administrative Agent shall
      reasonably request. Within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which
      an additional Foreign Subsidiary Borrower becomes party to this Agreement,
      the General Administrative Agent agrees to notify the Lenders thereof (via
      IntraLinks or such other communication permitted under this Agreement).

            (ii) Schedule II will be amended to remove any Subsidiary as a
      Foreign Subsidiary Borrower upon (A) execution and delivery by the U.S.
      Borrower of a written amendment providing for such amendment and (B)
      repayment in full of all outstanding Loans of such Foreign Subsidiary
      Borrower.

            (iii) Schedule III will be amended (A) to change administrative
      information contained therein (other than any interest rate definition,
      funding time, payment time or notice time contained therein) or (B) to add
      Available Foreign Currencies (and related interest rate definitions and
      administrative information) with the approval of the Majority
      Multicurrency Lenders, in each case, upon execution and delivery by the
      U.S. Borrower and the General Administrative Agent of a written amendment
      providing for such amendment.

            (iv) Schedule III will be amended to conform any funding time,
      payment time or notice time contained therein to then-prevailing market
      practices, upon execution and delivery by the U.S. Borrower and the
      General Administrative Agent of a written amendment providing for such
      amendment.

            (v) Schedule III will be amended to change any interest rate
      definition contained therein, upon execution and delivery by the U.S.
      Borrower, all the Multicurrency Lenders and the General Administrative
      Agent of a written amendment providing for such amendment.

            (b) The General Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to
each U.S. Revolving Lender and each Term Lender of any amendment effected
pursuant to subsection 17.1(b).

            17.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon (i) the Administrative
Agents or the Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.3, 3.2, 4.2, 5.3, 6.2, 7.3, 8.2,
9.2, 9.4 or 9.7 or (ii) the Swing Line Lenders pursuant to Section 3, shall not
be effective until received. Notices and other communications to the Lenders
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by the Administrative Agents (or, if applicable, the Issuing
Lender and/or the relevant Swing Line Lender). Each Administrative Agent, each
Swing Line Lender and each Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept
notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications
pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures
may be limited to particular notices or communications.

            17.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no
delay in exercising, on the part of any Borrower, the General Administrative
Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power
or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or

                                                                             109

privilege hereunder 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 are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

            17.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder and in the other Loan Documents (or in any
amendment, modification or supplement hereto or thereto) and in any certificate
delivered pursuant hereto or such other Loan Documents shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of the
Loans hereunder.

            17.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The U.S. Borrower agrees (a) to
pay or reimburse each Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the development,
preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to,
this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and any other documents
prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (b) to pay or reimburse each
Lender and each Administrative Agent for all their costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this
Agreement, the Notes and any such other documents, including, without
limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel to each Administrative Agent and
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the several Lenders;
provided that, in the case of clauses (a) and (b), the U.S. Borrower shall not
be obligated to so reimburse for more than one law firm (and, in addition to
such law firm, any local counsel engaged in each relevant jurisdiction by such
law firm) as counsel for the Lenders and the Administrative Agents, (c) to pay,
indemnify, and hold each Lender and each Administrative Agent and their
respective directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents harmless from,
any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect
to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other documentary
taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection
with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver
or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the Notes and any such other
documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and each
Administrative Agent (and their respective affiliates, trustees, officers,
directors, employees, advisors and agents) harmless from and against any and all
other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with
respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration
of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, the use or proposed
use by the Borrowers of the proceeds of the Loans (all the foregoing,
collectively, the "indemnified liabilities"); provided that the U.S. Borrower
shall have no obligation hereunder to (i) any Administrative Agent with respect
to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Administrative Agent or (ii) any Lender with respect to
indemnified liabilities arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Lender, in each case as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be
construed as requiring the Canadian Borrower to so indemnify in amounts that
would be in violation of, and its obligations to so indemnify are subject to,
the restrictions on financial assistance set out in the Business Corporations
Act (Ontario); and, provided, further, that the preceding proviso shall not be
construed in any way as limiting or derogating from the obligations of the other
Borrowers set out in this subsection. The agreements in this subsection shall
survive repayment of the Loans, the Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

            17.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a)
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers,
the Lenders, the Administrative Agents,

<PAGE>

                                                                             110

all future holders of the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, the Subsidiary
Reimbursement Obligations and the Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations and their
respective successors and assigns, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such
Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in
accordance with this Section.

            (b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course and in accordance with
applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities
("Participants") participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any
Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) in the case of participations
granted by a Canadian Lender, such Participant must be a resident of Canada for
purposes of the Tax Act unless such participation is granted pursuant to
subsection 17.8 and (ii) other than with respect to a participation in Term
Loans, such Participant must be a Professional Market Party. In the event of any
such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for
all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agents shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. At the time of
each sale of a participating interest, any Lender not organized under the laws
of the United States of America or a state thereof shall provide the U.S.
Borrower and the General Administrative Agent with revised Forms required under
Section 9.12 reflecting that portion of its Commitment and Loan which has been
sold to the Participant on an IRS Form W-8IMY (or whichever successor form shall
be applicable). Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender shall sell any such
participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right and responsibility to exercise such Lender's rights and enforce the
Borrowers' obligations hereunder, including the right to consent to any
amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, provided that such participation agreement
may provide that such Lender will not agree to any amendment, supplement,
modification or waiver described in clause (A) or (B) of the proviso to the
second sentence of subsection 17.1(a) without the consent of the Participant.
Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or
unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have
the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing
under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided
that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be
deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided
in subsection 17.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. Each Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections
9.10, 9.11, 9.12 and 17.7 with respect to its participation in the Commitments
and the Loans outstanding from time to time hereunder as if it was a Lender;
provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount
pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled
to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such
transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

            (c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course and in accordance with
applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign, with the prior written
consent of the General Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent
(in the event of an assignment of Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments), each
Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Dollar Lender, the Swing Line Multicurrency
Lender (in the event of an assignment of Multicurrency Commitments) and the U.S.
Borrower (such

<PAGE>

                                                                             111

consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to an additional bank, financial
institution or, in the case of an assignment of Term Loans, other Person (each,
an "Assignee") all or any part of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, its
Commitments, Loans and Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations, pursuant to an duly
executed Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit J, and
delivered to the Administrative Agents for their acceptance and recording in the
Register; provided that (i) if any Lender assigns a part of its rights and
obligations in respect of Revolving Credit Loans and/or Revolving Credit
Commitment under this Agreement to an Assignee, such Lender and such Lender's
Counterpart Lender (if any) shall each assign proportionate interests in their
respective Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans and other
related rights and obligations hereunder to such Assignee and a Counterpart
Lender for such Assignee designated by it, (ii) if any U.S. Revolving Lender
assigns a part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of
its U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and/or U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment to an
Assignee, such U.S. Revolving Lender shall assign proportionate interests in (A)
its participations in the Swing Line Dollar Loans and other rights and
obligations hereunder in respect of the Swing Line Dollar Loans to such Assignee
and (B) its Multicurrency Loans and Multicurrency Commitments (provided, that
with the consent of the U.S. Borrower and the General Administrative Agent, a
Lender may assign portions of its Revolving Credit Commitment without assigning
a proportionate share of its Multicurrency Commitment if either (x) such
proportionate share of such Multicurrency Commitment shall be assumed by another
Lender or (y) if the U.S. Borrower so agrees, such proportionate share of such
Multicurrency Commitment shall be terminated), (iii) if any Multicurrency Lender
assigns a part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of
its Multicurrency Loans and/or Multicurrency Commitment to an Assignee, such
Multicurrency Lender shall assign proportionate interests in its participations
in the Swing Line Multicurrency Loans to such Assignee, (iv) in the case of any
such assignment to any Assignee other than a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund, the aggregate amount of (x) any Term Loans being assigned
shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the then outstanding amount of
Term Loans held by the assigning Term Lender) and (y) the U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitment (or, if the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated or
expired, the aggregate principal amount of any U.S. Revolving Credit Loans)
being assigned, or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of the
Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment (or, if the Canadian Revolving Credit
Commitments have terminated or expired, the aggregate amount of Canadian
Revolving Credit Loans and Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations) being assigned
shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or (1) if less, the then outstanding amount
of such Commitments, Loans and/or Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations or (2)
such lesser amount as may be agreed by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative
Agents), and after giving effect to such assignment such assignor Lender, if it
retains any U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, shall retain a U.S. Revolving
Credit Commitment of at least $10,000,000 (provided that such minimum assignment
amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or
Approved Funds, if any), (v) in the case of any such assignment made by a
Canadian Lender, such Assignee must be a resident of Canada for purposes of the
Tax Act unless such assignment is made pursuant to subsection 17.8, (vi) except
in connection with an assignment of Term Loans, such Assignee must be a
Professional Market Party, (vii) with respect to an assignment of Term Loans, no
consent of any Issuing Lender, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Swing Line
Dollar Lender or the Swing Line Multicurrency Lender shall be required, and
(viii) with respect to an assignment of Term Loans to any Lender, any Affiliate
thereof or an Approved Fund, no consent of the Borrower or the General
Administrative Agent shall be required. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the closing date determined pursuant to
such Assignment and Acceptance, (I) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments, rights in respect
of Acceptance Reimbursement Obligations and Loans as set forth therein, and (II)
the assigning Lender thereunder shall be released from its obligations under
this Agreement to the

<PAGE>

                                                                             112

extent that such obligations shall have been expressly assumed by the Assignee
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance (and, in the case of an Assignment
and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease
to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent of the U.S.
Borrower shall be required for any assignment effected while an Event of Default
is in existence; provided that the applicable Administrative Agent or applicable
Lender shall provide notice to the U.S. Borrower of such assignment.

            (d) The Administrative Agents, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall
maintain at their respective addresses referred to in subsection 17.2 a copy of
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the "Register")
for the recordation of (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitments of, and/or principal amounts of the Loans and Acceptances owing to,
each Lender from time to time and (ii) the other information required from time
to time pursuant to subsection 3.1 in respect of Swing Line Loans. The entries
in the Register shall constitute prima facie evidence of the information
recorded therein, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents and the Lenders
may (and, in the case of any Loan, Acceptance or other obligation hereunder not
evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as the owner of a Loan, Acceptance or other obligation hereunder as the
owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan,
Acceptance or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be
effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the
Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the U.S. Borrowers
or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

            (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not
then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, executed by the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agents), together with payment to the Administrative Agents of a
registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agents shall (i)
promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date
determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the
Register and give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the
Lenders and the Borrowers.

            (f) Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any
Participant or Assignee (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee
any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning such
Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on
behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered
to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower in connection with such Lender's
credit evaluation of such Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party
to this Agreement; provided, that any such Transferee is advised of the
confidential nature of such information, if applicable, such Lender takes
reasonable steps, in accordance with customary practices, to ensure that any
such information is not used in violation of federal or state securities laws
and such Lender otherwise complies with subsection 17.19.

            (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations
of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this subsection 17.6 shall not apply to any such
pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

            (h) If, pursuant to this subsection, any interest in this Agreement
or any Loan is transferred from a U.S. Revolving Lender or a Term Lender to any
Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
United States or any state thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such
Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to agree (for
the benefit of the transferor Lender, the General Administrative Agent and the
U.S. Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any
Transferee registered in the Register, the General Administrative Agent and the
U.S. Borrower) the tax forms and other documents required to be delivered
pursuant to subsection 9.12(b) or (c) and to comply from time to time with all
applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax
exemption.

            (i) If, pursuant to this subsection, any interest in this Agreement
or any Loan is transferred from a Lender (other than a U.S. Revolving Lender or
a Term Lender) to any Transferee, the transferor Lender shall cause such
Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to agree (for
the benefit of the transferor Lender, the General Administrative Agent and the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) to provide the transferor Lender, the General
Administrative Agent and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers the tax forms and
other documents required to be delivered pursuant to subsection 9.12(c) and to
comply from time to time with all applicable laws and regulations with regard to
such withholding tax exemption.

            (j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any
or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender
without the consent of any Borrower, any Administrative Agent or any other
Person and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 17.6(c).
Each Borrower, each Lender and each Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it
will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in
instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or
similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest
maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however,
that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save
and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense
arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit
Lender during such period of forbearance.

            17.7 Adjustments; Set-Off. (a) If any Lender (a "Benefited Lender")
shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Extensions of Credit
then due and owing to it from any Borrower, or interest thereon, or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off,
pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 15(h),
(i) or (j), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender's Extensions of Credit then due and owing to it from such Borrower, or
interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other
Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's
Extensions of Credit owing to it from such Borrower, or shall provide such other
Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as
shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or
benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits
is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest.

            (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided
by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower,
any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted
by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable

<PAGE>

                                                                             114

hereunder (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise)
to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and
any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
held or owing by such Lender or any branch, agency or Affiliate thereof to or
for the credit or the account of such Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agents after any such set-off and
application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

            (c) To the extent that any Taxes are required to be withheld from
any amounts payable by a Lender to a Benefited Lender in connection with such
Benefited Lender's participating interest pursuant to subsection 17.7(a), each
Borrower, with respect to the relevant Loans made to it, shall be required to
pay increased amounts to such participating Benefited Lender to the extent such
additional amounts would have been required under subsection 9.12 if such
Borrower were making payments with respect to the participating interest
directly to the participating Benefited Lender.

            17.8 Loan Conversion/Participations. (a) (i) On any Conversion Date,
to the extent not otherwise prohibited by a Requirement of Law or otherwise, all
Loans outstanding in any currency other than U.S. Dollars ("Loans to be
Converted") shall be converted into U.S. Dollars (calculated on the basis of the
relevant Exchange Rates as of the Business Day immediately preceding the
Conversion Date) ("Converted Loans"), (ii) on each date on or after the
Conversion Date on which any Acceptances or Acceptance Notes shall mature such
Acceptances and Acceptance Notes ("Acceptances to be Converted") shall be
converted into Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars
(calculated on the basis of the Exchange Rate as of the Business Day immediately
preceding such maturity date) ("Converted Acceptances") and (iii) on the
Conversion Date (with respect to Loans described in the foregoing clause (i)),
and on the respective maturity date (with respect to Acceptances and Acceptance
Notes described in the foregoing clause (ii)) (A) each U.S. Revolving Lender
severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase in U.S.
Dollars a participating interest in such Converted Loans and Converted
Acceptances in an amount equal to its Conversion Sharing Percentage of (x) the
outstanding principal amount of the Converted Loans and (y) the face amount of
matured Acceptances and Acceptance Notes, as applicable, and (B) to the extent
necessary to cause the Committed Revolving Outstandings Percentage of each U.S.
Revolving Lender, after giving effect to the purchase and sale of participating
interests under the foregoing clause (iii), to equal its U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage (calculated immediately prior to the termination or
expiration of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments), each U.S. Revolving Lender
severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase or sell
a participating interest in U.S. Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding. Each
U.S. Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the appropriate
Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amounts of its
participation(s), and the proceeds of such participation(s) shall be distributed
by such Administrative Agent to each Lender from which a participating interest
is being purchased in the amount(s) provided for in the preceding sentence. All
Converted Loans and Converted Acceptances (which shall have been converted into
Canadian Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars) shall bear interest at
the rate which would otherwise be applicable to ABR Loans. For the avoidance of
doubt, subsection 17.8 shall have no applicability to any Term Loans.

            (b) If, for any reason, the Loans to be Converted or Acceptances to
be Converted, as the case may be, may not be converted into U.S. Dollars in the
manner contemplated by paragraph (a) of this subsection 17.8, (i) the General
Administrative Agent shall determine the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Loans to
be Converted or Acceptances to be Converted, as the case may be, (calculated on
the basis of the Exchange Rate as of the Business Day immediately preceding the
date on which such conversion

<PAGE>

                                                                             115

would otherwise occur pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 17.8), (ii)
effective on such Conversion Date, each Lender severally, unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees that it shall purchase in U.S. Dollars a participating
interest in such Loans to be Converted or Acceptances to be Converted, as the
case may be, in an amount equal to its Conversion Sharing Percentage of such
Loans to be Converted or Acceptances to be Converted, as the case may be, and
(iii) each U.S. Revolving Lender shall purchase or sell participating interests
as provided in paragraph (a)(iii) of this subsection 17.8. Each U.S. Revolving
Lender will immediately transfer to the appropriate Administrative Agent, in
immediately available funds, the amount(s) of its participation(s), and the
proceeds of such participation(s) shall be distributed by such Administrative
Agent to each relevant Lender in the amount(s) provided for in the preceding
sentence.

            (c) To the extent any Taxes are required to be withheld from any
amounts payable by a Lender (the "First Lender") to another Lender (the "Other
Lender") in connection with its participating interest in any Converted Loan or
Converted Acceptance, each Borrower, with respect to the relevant Loans made to
it, shall be required to pay increased amounts to the Other Lender receiving
such payments from the First Lender to the same extent they would be required
under subsection 9.12 if such Borrower were making payments with respect to the
participating interest directly to the Other Lender.

            (d) To the extent not prohibited by any Requirement of Law or
otherwise, at any time after the actions contemplated by paragraphs (a) or (b)
of this subsection 17.8 have been taken, upon the notice of any U.S. Revolving
Lender to the Borrowers the following shall occur: (i) the U.S. Borrower
(through the guarantee contained in Section 14) shall automatically be deemed to
have assumed the Converted Loans and Converted Acceptances in which such U.S.
Revolving Lender holds a participation, (ii) any Acceptances and Loans
outstanding in any currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be converted into U.S.
Dollars on the dates of such assumption (calculated on the basis of the Exchange
Rate on the Business Day immediately preceding such date of assumption) and such
Loans shall bear interest at the rate which would otherwise be applicable to ABR
Loans and (iii) such Loans and obligations in respect of Acceptances shall be
assigned by the relevant Lender holding such Loans or obligations to the U.S.
Revolving Lender who gave the notice requesting such assumption by the U.S.
Borrower.

            17.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of
the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including

                                                                             117

            17.16 Power of Attorney. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby
grants to U.S. Borrower an irrevocable power of attorney to act as its
attorney-in-fact with regard to matters relating to this Agreement and each
other Loan Document, including, without limitation, execution and delivery of
any amendments, supplements, waivers or other modifications hereto or thereto,
receipt of any notices hereunder or thereunder and receipt of service of process
in connection herewith or therewith. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby
explicitly acknowledges that the Administrative Agents and each Lender have
executed and delivered this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it
is a party, and has performed its obligations under this Agreement and each
other Loan Document to which it is a party, in reliance upon the irrevocable
grant of such power of attorney pursuant to this subsection. The power of
attorney granted by each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder is coupled with
an interest.

            17.17 Release of Security Documents. (a) The Lenders hereby agree
with the U.S. Borrower, and hereby instruct the General Administrative Agent,
that if one or more Loan Parties (or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party whose
Capital Stock is pledged pursuant to the Security Documents) are permitted to be
released from their obligations under any of the Security Documents pursuant to
an amendment to this Agreement approved in accordance with subsection 17.1, the
General Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of the U.S.
Borrower, take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the U.S.
Borrower to release its security interest in the relevant collateral held by it
pursuant to the Security Documents and/or to release such Loan Parties from
their obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee. In such event, the provisions
of subsection 12.7 with respect to such Loan Parties shall be deemed terminated
and of no further force or effect.

            (b) The Lenders hereby agree with the U.S. Borrower, and hereby
instruct the General Administrative Agent, that if the U.S. Borrower shall have
delivered to the General Administrative Agent written notice that any Loan Party
proposes to sell or otherwise dispose of all of any Subsidiary whose stock is
pledged pursuant to a Security Document or which is a Subsidiary Guarantor, and
such disposition is permitted by this Agreement (including in connection with
any permitted corporate or similar reorganization or restructuring), the General
Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of the U.S. Borrower,
take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower to
release its security interest in the stock being sold or otherwise disposed of
such Subsidiary and to release such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations
under the Security Documents; provided, that such Subsidiary shall have been, or
shall simultaneously be, released from all Bond Guarantees.

            (c) With respect to any property not described in the proceeding
clause (b), the Lenders hereby agree with the U.S. Borrower, and hereby instruct
the General Administrative Agent, that if the U.S. Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise Dispose of any such property constituting
Collateral (including in connection with any permitted corporate or similar
reorganization or restructuring), and such Disposition is permitted by this
Agreement, the General Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of
the U.S. Borrower, take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the
U.S. Borrower to release its security interest in such Collateral.

            (d) In connection with any release of guarantees in accordance with
subsection 17.17, upon the request of the U.S. Borrower, the General
Administrative Agent shall take whatever reasonable steps are necessary to
coordinate the simultaneous release of the guarantees hereunder with the Bond
Guarantees.

            (e) The Secured Parties and the Lenders authorize the General
Administrative Agent (i) to take any action requested by the U.S. Borrower to
release or subordinate any Lien created by the

<PAGE>

                                                                             118

Security Agreement on any property (and the proceeds thereof) financed by a
purchase money Lien or Financing Lease permitted by this Agreement to the extent
the agreements governing such Lien or Financing Lease prohibit the first
priority Lien on such property (and the proceeds thereof) created by the
Security Agreement and (ii) to release the security interest in any Collateral
to the extent that a Security Document authorizes or permits the release of the
security interest created by such Security Document in such Collateral.

            (f) Amounts in the Collateral Account shall be released as set forth
in the Collateral Account Agreement, and amounts in the 2008/2009 Collateral
Account shall be released as set forth in the 2008/2009 Collateral Account
Agreement.

            (g) The Secured Parties and the Lenders authorize the General
Administrative Agent (i) to release the security interest granted to the General
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to the
Security Documents in the Capital Stock of Lear Automotive (EEDS) Spain S.L. and
Lear Corporation Mexico, S.A. de C.V. and (ii) at the request and expense of the
U.S. Borrower, to take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the U.S.
Borrower to release such security interest in the such Capital Stock.

            (h) Notwithstanding anything contained in subsection 17.1 to the
contrary, the consent of all of the Lenders shall be required for the release of
all or substantially all of the Collateral.

            17.18 Judgment. (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into
another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may
effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the General Administrative Agent could
purchase the first currency with such other currency in the city in which it
normally conducts its foreign exchange operation for the first currency on the
Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

            (b) The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due from
it to any Lender hereunder 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 Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency
such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the
Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of Agreement
Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the
Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees notwithstanding any such judgment to
indemnify such Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender, such Lender
agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

            17.19 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of information clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential and provided to it by the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary in
connection with this Agreement (collectively, the "Confidential Information");
provided, however, that any Lender may disclose Confidential Information (a) at
the request of any bank regulatory authority or in connection with an
examination of such Lender by any such authority, (b) pursuant to subpoena or
other court process, (c) when required to do so in accordance with the
provisions of any applicable law, (d) at the discretion of any other
Governmental Authority, in the case of clauses (b), (c) and (d), to the extent
that (x) such Lender has provided the U.S. Borrower with prompt prior written
notice of such intended disclosure (unless such notice is prohibited by
applicable law), (y) such disclosure is only of that portion of such
confidential material which is legally required to

<PAGE>

                                                                             119

be disclosed, and (z) such Lender has cooperated with any reasonable efforts of
the U.S. Borrower to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will
be accorded to such disclosed Confidential Information, (e) to such Lender's
Affiliates, and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees,
agents, advisors, independent auditors and other professional advisors who have
a need to know such Confidential Information (collectively, such Lender's
"Representatives"), (f) to any Transferee or potential Transferee or any pledgee
referred to in Section 17.6(g); provided that such Transferee or pledgee agrees
to comply with the provisions of this Section 17.19, (g) to the extent such
Confidential Information becomes generally available to the public other than
through such Lender's breach of this Agreement, (h) to the extent such
Confidential Information is available to such Lender from a source other than a
Loan Party (provided, that such source is not known to the Lender to be subject
to any confidentiality obligations to any Loan Party), (i) to the extent such
disclosure is consented to by the U.S. Borrower. Each Lender also agrees that it
and its Representatives will use the Confidential Information solely for the
purposes of evaluating this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
negotiating, making available, syndicating and administering this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, or (j) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any securitization, swap or derivative transaction relating to the
U.S. Borrower, any Subsidiaries, and the Obligations.

            17.20 Conflicts. In the event that there exists a conflict between
provisions in this Agreement and provisions in any other Loan Document, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control.

            17.21 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the General
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Patriot
Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower
and other information that will allow such Lender or the General Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. Each
Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide, to the
extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are
reasonably requested by each Lender and the General Administrative Agent to
maintain compliance with the Patriot Act.

            17.22 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents
referred to therein. All indebtedness, obligations and Liens created by the
Existing Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents referred to therein remain
outstanding and in effect and are continued by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents with such modifications as are set forth herein and therein.

            17.23 Existing Public Indentures. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitute Senior Credit Facilities and Principal Credit Facilities as
such terms are defined in the Existing Public Indentures. This Agreement and the
other Loan Documents amend, restate and renew the Existing Credit Agreement and
the Loan Documents referred to therein.

            17.24 Limitation on Secured Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agents and the
Lenders agree that for so long as the Existing Public Indentures remain in
effect, the maximum principal amount of the Obligations (as defined in the
Security Agreement) that is secured by the Collateral (other than capital stock
of "Subsidiaries" (as such term is defined in the Existing Public Indentures) of
the U.S. Borrower and the proceeds thereof) shall not at any time exceed the
maximum amount that may be secured by the Collateral at such time without
creating a requirement under Section 4.07 of each of the Existing Public
Indentures to cause the securities outstanding under any such Indenture to be
equally and ratably secured by such Collateral. For

avoidance of doubt, (a) "Obligations" as used in the preceding sentence shall
not apply to Hedging Agreement Obligations and guarantees thereof and (b) the
Agents and the Lenders understand that, among other exceptions, the Lien basket
set forth in clause (vii) of Section 4.07 of the Existing Public Indentures will
be available to secure the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement)
except to the extent such basket is utilized as permitted by Section 13.3(c).

            17.25 General Administrative Agent's Discretion in Dealing with
Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in the Loan
Documents, the General Administrative Agent shall have full and complete
authority and discretion (a) to determine the order in which it shall exercise
remedies against any of the Collateral and (b) to alter the order set forth
herein or in any other Security Document of the application to the Obligations
of any proceeds realized upon the exercise of any such remedies in respect of
the Collateral (including to provide for the holding of any such proceeds in any
collateral account pending the consummation of any realization of or upon any
other Collateral) as it shall determine, in each case with the objective of
assuring that the ultimate realizations by the Lenders (and their Affiliates) on
account of all the Collateral are as ratable as is reasonably practicable.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to
be duly executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as
of the day and year first above written.
