THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of December 7, 2009, is between Quest Energy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), and _____________ ("Recipient").

RECITALS:

A.        On November 14, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company established the Quest Energy Partners, L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") under which the Company may grant employees, consultants and directors certain equity-based awards.

B.        Recipient is a valued and trusted employee of the Company or one of its Affiliates. 

C.        The Company has elected to issue Recipient rights to Common Units of Quest Energy Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") (as the term "Common Unit" is defined in the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Quest Energy Partners, L.P., dated November 15, 2007, and as it may be amended from time to time (the "Partnership Agreement") pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, in order that Recipient thereby may be induced to obtain an ownership interest in the Partnership and to advance the interests of the Partnership and its Affiliates. 

AGREEMENT:

In consideration of the mutual premises and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration paid by Recipient to the Company, the Company and Recipient agree as follows:

	
 
 	
Section 1.
 	
Incorporation of Plan
 

All provisions of this Agreement and the rights of Recipient hereunder are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan and the powers of the Board therein provided.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan

	
 
 	
Section 2.
 	
Promise to Deliver Units
 

The Company will issue and deliver to Recipient, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that number of Common Units of the Partnership identified above opposite the heading "Number of Common Units" (the "Units").  The Units, which will be issued by the Partnership subject to the conditions set forth herein, will be issued in the name of Recipient or a nominee of Recipient on the applicable Transfer Date (as identified and defined below in this Section 2) for each such Unit.  Once a Unit has been transferred, the Unit will 

 

be freely transferable under this Agreement, subject only to such further limitations on transfer, if any, as may exist under the Partnership Agreement, applicable law or any other agreement binding upon Recipient.

Provided Recipient's right to receive the Units has not already been forfeited pursuant to Section 4 and subject to any exceptions listed elsewhere herein, Recipient's rights to the Units shall vest in proportional amounts (with any number(s) not evenly divisible being allocated to the earliest tranche) on the applicable dates identified below (the "Transfer Dates"), and the Units will be transferred on, or no more than 10 days after, such Transfer Dates:

Section 3.
 	
Consideration to the Company
 

In consideration of the awarding of the Units by the Company, Recipient agrees to render faithful and efficient services as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate.  Nothing in this Agreement will confer upon Recipient any right to continue as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate or will interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or an Affiliate, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate Recipient’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

	
 
 	
Section 4.
 	
Forfeiture of Right to Receive Units Prior to Transfer
 

Unless otherwise provided herein, if the Company or its Affiliate terminates Recipient's employment or Recipient terminates employment with the Company or its Affiliate, for any reason and including without limitation death or Disability, before one or more of the Transfer Dates for some or all of the Units, all of the Recipient's right to receive additional Units under this Agreement and all rights to receive Distribution Equivalent Rights ("DERs"), if any, shall immediately be forfeited. Upon such forfeiture, Recipient shall have no further rights under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any DERs that have been declared but not yet paid prior to the Recipient's termination and any Units, to the extent they have vested but not yet been transferred, will be paid and transferred to Recipient or Recipient's designated beneficiary, as the case may be, within 60 days of the date
of Recipient's termination of employment.

Section 5.
 	
No Assignment of Rights
 

Subject to any exceptions set forth elsewhere herein, none of the rights to receive the Units or DERs may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by Recipient, and Recipient agrees not to attempt to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of such rights.  Any attempt to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of a right to receive a Unit or DER under this Agreement shall be null and void.

	
 
 	
Section 6.
 	
Acknowledgement of Rights of the Company in Event of Change in Control  
 

By executing this Agreement, Recipient agrees and acknowledges that in the event of a Change in Control (as defined below), the Company shall accelerate the Transfer Dates applicable to the Units to the date of the Change in Control. No such action shall be taken in a manner that would cause the Units to be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").

For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" means and shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events: 

(i)        any "person" or "group" within the meaning of those terms as used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than an Affiliate of the Company, shall become the beneficial owner, by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization or otherwise, of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the equity interests in Quest Resource Corporation, the Company or the Partnership;

(ii)       the limited partners of the Partnership approve, in one or a series of transactions, a plan of complete liquidation of the Partnership;

(iii)      the sale or other disposition by either the Company or the Partnership of all or substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions to any Person other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; or

(iv)      a transaction resulting in a Person other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company being the general partner of the Partnership.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the transactions that will occur in connection with the "recombination" described in the Registration Statement of PostRock Energy Corporation ("PostRock") on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 6, 2009 (Registration No. 333-162366) (the "Recombination") shall be considered a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement.  

In the event of the completion of the Recombination, without any requirement or obligation to obtain the Recipient’s consent, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of PostRock shall provide that any unvested Units hereunder shall be exchanged for rights covering the equity of PostRock, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of equity interests; such rights shall be evidenced in such manner as determined by the Compensation Committee. Any rights with respect to DERs or the transfer of Units upon a Change in Control hereunder shall not apply to any PostRock equity interests received in exchange for the Units, and such rights shall be of no further force and effect on or after the date of the Recombination. The 

 

3

 

 

determinations of such Compensation Committee with respect to the exchange, adjustments, and terms and conditions of the PostRock equity interests received in exchange for the Units shall be made in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 2, 2009, as amended, governing the Recombination and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties.

	
 
 	
Section 7.
 	
Voting Rights and DERs
 

Recipient shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Units until a Unit has been transferred to Recipient.  Following a Transfer Date, Recipient shall have such voting rights, if any, as are provided to the holders of Units under the Partnership’s partnership agreement or as provided under applicable law.  From the Date of Grant until the Transfer Date, Recipient shall be entitled to receive DERs.  Such DERs will be paid to Recipient as soon as reasonably practicable following the date such distributions are paid to holders of the Units of the same type to which such DERs relate, but in no event later than the 60th day after the date of such corresponding distribution.  Under no circumstances shall Recipient's right to receive the benefit of DERs on the Units be interpreted or construed as such Units being owned by Recipient
or as Recipient having any rights as a holder of Common Units greater than those set forth herein.  Following a Transfer Date, no DERs shall be paid on any Unit that has been delivered; however, Recipient shall be entitled to any distribution made to holders of the same type of Unit under the Partnership Agreement with respect to such unrestricted Unit.  For the avoidance of doubt, at no point in time will Participant be entitled to both actual distributions paid on Common Units and DERs.

	
 
 	
Section 8.
 	
Adjustments  
 

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event of any change in the number of outstanding Common Units of the Partnership effected without receipt of consideration therefor by the Partnership, by reason of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, unit dividend, unit split, unit combination or other change in the corporate structure of the Partnership affecting the Common Units, the Recipient's right to receive Units under this Agreement will be automatically adjusted to accurately and equitably reflect the effect thereon of such change.  In the event of a dispute concerning such adjustment, the decision of the Company will be conclusive.  The Recombination is not a change subject to the provisions of this Section 8.

	
 
 	
Section 9.
 	
Amendment and Cancellation
 

This Agreement may be amended or cancelled at any time provided that, to the extent any amendment would be materially adverse to Recipient or in the event of the cancellation of this Agreement, both the Company and Recipient consent to the terms of such amendment or cancellation.  The foregoing notwithstanding, no amendment or cancellation shall be made or valid that would result in the Units becoming subject to Code Section 409A. 

	
 
 	
Section 10.
 	
Withholding of Tax
 

To the extent that the transfer of a Unit results in the receipt of compensation by Recipient with respect to which the Company or an Affiliate has a tax withholding obligation pursuant to applicable law, unless other arrangements have been made by Recipient that are acceptable to the Company or such Affiliate, Recipient shall deliver to the Company or the Affiliate such amount of money as the Company or the Affiliate may require to meet its withholding 

 

4

 

 

obligations under such applicable law.  No Units will be transferred under this Agreement until Recipient has paid or made arrangements approved by the Company or the Affiliate to satisfy in full the applicable tax withholding requirements of the Company or Affiliate with respect to such event.  

	
 
 	
Section 11.
 	
Entire Agreement
 

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and contains all the covenants, promises, representations, warranties and agreements between the parties with respect to the Units granted hereby.  Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, all prior understandings and agreements, if any, among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby null and void and of no further force and effect.  Except as provided with respect to the exchange of the Units for PostRock equity interests in the event of the completion of the Recombination as set forth in Section 6, a modification of this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and signed by both Recipient and an authorized officer of the Company.  

	
 
 	
Section 12.
 	
Designation of Beneficiary
 

Recipient may designate a person or persons to receive, in the event of Recipient's death, any Units then being transferred or other property then or thereafter distributable relating to the Units.  Such designation must be made either in the space indicated at the end of this Agreement or upon forms supplied by and delivered to the Company or its delegate and may be revoked in writing.  If Recipient fails effectively to designate a beneficiary, the estate of Recipient will be deemed to be the beneficiary of Recipient with respect to any such Units or other property.                

	
 
 	
Section 13.
 	
Applicable Law
 

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict of laws provisions.

	
 
 	
Section 14.
 	
Section 409A
 

The rights to, and distribution of, the Units granted hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code under the "short-term deferral exclusion" as defined thereunder, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with that intent.

shall give Borrower five (5) days prior written notice of its intention to
decrease the Advance Rates; provided however, if as a result of a field exam or
the completion of an Inventory appraisal, Agent elects to decrease the Advance

would cause the Advances calculated under the Formula Amount to be reduced by
more than 20%, Agent will provide Borrower with notice ten (10) days prior to
instituting such modification..  The rights of Agent under this
subsection are subject to the provisions of Section 16.2(b).

     

    2.2. 
Procedure for Revolving
Advances Borrowing.

     

    (a) Borrower
may notify Agent prior to 12:00 Noon central time on a Business Day of
Borrower’s request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance
hereunder.  Should any amount required to be paid as interest
hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other
agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation, become
due, same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance as of the date such
payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge
or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders,
and such request shall be irrevocable.

     

    (b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event Borrower desires to obtain
a Eurodollar Rate Loan for any Advance (other than a Swing Loan, which may not
be a Eurodollar Rate Loan), Borrower shall give Agent written notice by no later
than 12:00 Noon, central time on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior
to the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date
of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of
borrowing and the amount on the date of such Advance to be borrowed, which
amount shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of
$100,000 thereafter, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period
therefor.  Interest Periods for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be for
one, two or three months; provided, if an Interest Period would end on a day
that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day
unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the
Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day.  No
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made available to Borrower during the continuance
of a Default or an Event of Default.  After giving effect to each
requested Eurodollar Rate Loan, including those which are converted from a Base
Rate Loan under Section 2.2(d), there shall not be outstanding more than four
(4) Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

     

    (c) Each
Interest Period of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the date such
Eurodollar Rate Loan is made, continued or converted and shall end on such date
as Borrower may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above provided that
the exact length of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with
the practice of the interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no
Interest Period shall end after the last day of the Term.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

                    
Borrower shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate
Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by
its notice of conversion or continuation given to Agent pursuant to Section
2.2(d), as the case may be.  Borrower shall elect the duration of each
succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such
duration not later than 12:00 Noon on the day which is three (3) Business Days
prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
Eurodollar Rate Loan.  If Agent does not receive timely notice of the
Interest Period elected by Borrower, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to
convert to a Base Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(d) hereinbelow.

     

    (d) Provided
that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may, on
the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any
outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Base
Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same
aggregate principal amount provided that any conversion of a Eurodollar Rate
Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest
Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan or continue any Eurodollar Rate
Loan for the same Interest Period.  If Borrower desires to convert or
continue a loan, Borrower shall give Agent written notice by no later than 12:00
Noon, central time (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days’ prior to the
date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a
Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a continuation of a Eurodollar Rate
Loan, or (ii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on
which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Eurodollar
Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, specifying, in each case, the date of such
conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is from a Base Rate
Loan to any other type of loan, the duration of the first Interest Period
therefor.

     

    (e) At its
option and upon written notice given prior to 12:00 Noon, central time at least
three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, Borrower may
prepay the Eurodollar Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to
time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such
repayment.  Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances
which are Eurodollar Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment.  In
the event that any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan is required or permitted
on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto, Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in
accordance with Section 2.2(f) hereof.

     

    (f) Borrower
shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and
against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or
incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by
Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate
Loan or failure by Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or
conversion of or to a Eurodollar Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given,
including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to
lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate
Loans hereunder.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrower
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    (g) Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law or any change therein or in
the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any
(i) Lender
(for purposes of this subsection (g), the term “Lender” shall include any Lender
and the

     

    
      
         

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    office or
branch where any Lender or any corporation or bank controlling such Lender makes
or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate
Loans, the obligation of Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder shall
forthwith be cancelled and Borrower shall, if any affected Eurodollar Rate Loans
are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such
affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert such affected Eurodollar Rate Loans
into loans of another type.  If any such payment or conversion of any
Eurodollar Rate Loan or is made on a day that is not the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan or, Borrower shall pay
Agent, upon Agent’s request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to
compensate Lenders for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by Lenders in
respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion,
including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable by Lenders
to lenders of funds obtained by Lenders in order to make or maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loan.  A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrower
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    2.3. 
Disbursement of Advance
Proceeds.  All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever
office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and, together with
any and all other Obligations of Borrower to Agent or Lenders, shall be charged
to Borrower’s Account on Agent’s books.  During the Term, Borrower may
use the Revolving Advances and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof.  The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrower
or deemed to have been requested by Borrower under Section 2.2(a) hereof shall,
with respect to requested Revolving Advances to the extent Lenders make such
Revolving Advances, be made available to Borrower on the day so requested by way
of credit to Borrower’s operating account at NCB, or such other bank as Borrower
may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately available funds
or, with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by
Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations
giving rise to such deemed request.  The proceeds of each Swing Loan
requested by Borrower shall be made available to Borrower on the day so
requested by way of credit to Borrower’s operating account at NCB, or such other
bank as Borrower may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately
available funds.

     

    2.4. 
Swing
Loans.

     

    (a) Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and
warranties herein set forth, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds
between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, NCB may make available
to Borrower, at its option, cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever,
Swing Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars at any time or from time to time after
the date hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an
aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan
Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of
Swing Loans and the Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not
exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount
or (ii) the Formula Amount. To the extent that Borrower requests a Revolving
Advance at any time and to the extent that Borrower is entitled to obtain a
Revolving Advance from Lenders under the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
NCB may elect to provide all or a portion of such Revolving Advances in the form
of Swing Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.  The making
of

     

    
      
         

      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Swing
Loans by NCB from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or
establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which NCB shall thereafter be
obligated to make Swing Loans in the future.  All Swing Loans shall be
evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “Swing Loan Note”) substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a).

     

    (b) Except as
otherwise provided herein, Borrower may from time to time prior to the
expiration of the Term request NCB to make Swing Loans by delivery to NCB, not
later than 12 Noon central time on the proposed borrowing date of a duly
completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4(b) hereto or
a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or
telex (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being understood that NCB may rely on
the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the
necessity of receipt of such written confirmation.  Each Swing Loan
Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed borrowing date and
the principal amount of such Swing Loan, which shall be not less than
$50,000.  Each Swing Loan Request shall be deemed a representation by
Borrower that Borrower has satisfied all of the conditions for the Swing Loan so
requested set forth in this Agreement.

     

    2.5. 
Maximum
Advances.  The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans
outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Revolving
Advance Amount or (b) the Formula Amount.

     

    2.6. 
Repayment of
Advances.

     

    (a) The
Revolving Advances and Swing Loans shall be due and payable in full on the last
day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided.

     

    (b) Borrower
recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other
items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be
collectible by Agent on the date received.  In consideration of
Agent’s agreement to conditionally credit Borrower’s Account as of the next
Business Day following Agent’s receipt of those items of payment, Borrower
agrees that, in computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment
shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations one (1) Business
Day after (i) the Business Day of Agent’s receipt of such payments via wire
transfer or electronic depository check or (ii) in the case of payments received
by Agent in any other form, the Business Day such payment constitutes good funds
in Agent’s account.  Agent is not, however, required to conditionally
credit Borrower’s Account for the amount of any item of payment which is
unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge Borrower’s Account for the amount
of any item of payment which was conditionally credited but which is
subsequently returned to Agent unpaid.

     

    (c) All
payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under
any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not
later than 12:00 Noon central time on the due date therefor in lawful money of
the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately
available to Agent.  Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment
on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrower’s
Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2 hereof.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        25

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     (d) Borrower
shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under
any related agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not
limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.

     

    2.7. 
Repayment of Excess
Advances.  The aggregate balance of Advances outstanding at any
time in excess of the maximum amount of Advances permitted hereunder shall be
immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment
Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred.

     

    2.8. 
Statement of
Account.  Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its
customary procedures, a loan account (“Borrower’s Account”) in the name of
Borrower in which shall be recorded the date, amount and currency of each
Advance made by Agent and the date, amount and currency of each payment in
respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date,
amount and currency of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any
Lender.  Each month, Agent shall send to Borrower a statement showing
the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect
thereof, and other transactions between Agent and Borrower during such
month.  The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding
upon Borrower in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account
stated between Lenders and Borrower unless Agent receives a written statement of
Borrower’s specific exceptions thereto within sixty (60) days after such
statement is received by Borrower.  The records of Agent with respect
to the loan account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the
amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable
thereto.

     

    2.9. 
Additional
Payments.  Any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to
Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this
Agreement or any Other Document including Borrower’s obligations under Sections
4.2, 4.4, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 6.1 hereof, may be charged to Borrower’s Account
as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

     

    2.10. 
Manner of Borrowing and
Payment.

     

    (a) Each
borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable
Commitment Percentages of Lenders.

     

    (b) Each
payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of the principal of
and interest on the Revolving Advances, shall be applied to the Revolving
Advances pro rata according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of
Lenders.  Each payment by Borrower on account of the principal and
interest on Swing Loans shall be applied to Swing Loans for the account of
NCB.  Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including
prepayments) to be made by Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees
shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on
behalf of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 12:00 Noon,
central time, in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  Agent
shall have the right to apply such payments against outstanding obligations
denominated in either Dollars or Canadian Dollars, and may effect currency
exchange transactions in order to do so.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c) (i) Making Revolving Credit
Advances.  Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request for a
Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a), Agent shall notify Lenders of its
receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrower and the
apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance as determined by
Agent.  Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving
Advance to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent
Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section
8.2, fund such Revolving Advance to Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately
available funds at the Payment Office prior to 12:00 Noon, central time, on the
applicable borrowing date; provided that if any
Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in
its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance of such
Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment
obligation in Section 2.10(c)(ii).

     

    (ii) Presumptions by
Agent.  Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Advance that such Lender will not
make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving
Advance, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such
date in accordance with Section 2.10(c) (i) and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount.  In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Revolving Advance available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower
severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i)
in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal
Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to
be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Revolving Advances
consisting of Base Rate Loans.  If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Revolving Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Revolving Advance.  Any payment by Borrower shall be
without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall
have failed to make such payment to Agent.

     

    (iii) Making Swing
Loans.  So long as NCB elects to make Swing Loans, NCB shall,
after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4(b), fund
such Swing Loan to Borrower in immediately available funds at the Payment Office
prior to 3:00 p.m. central time on the borrowing date.

     

    (iv) Borrowings to Repay Swing
Loans.  NCB may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any
reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall
make a Revolving Advance in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans,
plus, if NCB so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender
shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances in an amount in
excess of its Commitment Percentage times the Maximum
Revolving Advance Amount.  Revolving Advances made pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to
Revolving Advances consisting of Base Rate Loans, and shall be deemed to have
been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.2(a) without regard to any
of the requirements of that provision.  NCB shall provide notice to
Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or
electronic

     

    
      
         

      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    transmission)
that such Revolving Advances are to be made under this Section 2.10(c)(iv) and
of the apportionment among Lenders, and Lenders shall be unconditionally
obligated to fund such Revolving Advances (whether or not the conditions
specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied) by the time NCB so requests, which
shall not be earlier than 2:00 p.m. central time on the Business Day next after
the date Lenders receive such notice from NCB.  If any such amount is
not transferred to NCB by any Lender on such settlement date, NCB shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with
interest thereon as specified in Section 2.1.3.

     

    (d) (i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.10(a) and (b) hereof,
commencing with the first Business Day following the Closing Date, each
borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced by Agent and each payment by
Borrower on account of Revolving Advances shall be applied first to those
Revolving Advances advanced by Agent.  On or before 1:00 p.m., central
time, on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date
following the Closing Date, Agent and Lenders shall make certain payments as
follows: (I) if the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made by Agent
during the preceding Week (if any) exceeds the aggregate amount of repayments
applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such preceding Week, then each
Lender shall provide Agent with funds in an amount equal to its applicable
Commitment Percentage of the difference between (w) such Revolving Advances and
(x) such repayments and (II) if the aggregate amount of repayments applied to
outstanding Revolving Advances during such Week exceeds the aggregate amount of
new Revolving Advances made during such Week, then Agent shall provide each
Lender with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Commitment Percentage of
the difference between (y) such repayments and (z) such Revolving
Advances.

     

    (ii) Each
Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable Contract
Rate  on outstanding Advances which it has funded.

     

    (iii) Promptly
following each Settlement Date, Agent shall submit to each Lender a certificate
with respect to payments received and Advances made during the Week immediately
preceding such Settlement Date.  Such certificate of Agent shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     

    (e) If any
Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any
payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any
Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by
set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral
received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s
Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt
of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each
such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender 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 other 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.  Each Lender so purchasing a portion
of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including
rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were
the direct holder of such portion.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        28

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (f) Unless
Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender
that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable
Commitment Percentage of the Advances available to Agent, Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to
Agent on the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to Borrower a corresponding amount.  Agent will promptly
notify Borrower of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender.  If
such amount is made available to Agent on a date after such next Settlement
Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of
(i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360
days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (ii) such amount, times (iii)
the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which
such amount becomes immediately available to Agent.  A certificate of
Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this
paragraph (e) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest
error.  If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such
Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date, Agent shall be
entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum
then applicable to such Revolving Advances hereunder, on demand from Borrower;
provided, however, that Agent’s right to such recovery shall not prejudice or
otherwise adversely affect Borrower’s rights (if any) against such
Lender.

     

    2.11. 
Mandatory
Prepayments.

     

    (a) Subject
to Section 4.3(b) hereof, when Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of any
Collateral other than (i) Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business, Borrower
shall repay the Advances, subject to the right to reborrow hereunder, in an
amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross proceeds less
the reasonable costs of such sales or other dispositions less any holdbacks or
escrowed funds less any outstanding Indebtedness secured by a Permitted
Encumbrance on such Collateral and required to be paid in connection with such
sale or disposition) or (ii) the sale of Equipment which is subsequently
replaced in accordance with Section 4.3, Borrower shall repay the Advances in an
amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such sale, in each case, such
repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day
following receipt of such net cash proceeds, and until the date of payment, such
proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent.  The foregoing shall not be
deemed to be implied consent to any such sale otherwise prohibited by the terms
and conditions hereof.  Repayments under this paragraph (a) shall be
applied, to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances and
Swing Loans (in the order determined by Agent), provided that, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, such repayments shall be applied
to the Advances and the other Obligations in such order as Agent may determine
in its sole discretion.

     

    (b) Upon
either (i) the issuance and/or incurrence of any Indebtedness for borrowed money
(other than Indebtedness permitted in accordance with the provisions of Section
7.8) by Borrower or (ii) the issuance of any additional Equity Interests (other
than Equity Interests issued to employees, officers or directors of Borrower) or
receipt of any additional capital contributions by Borrower (not including any
contributions made in the form of equity for the purposes of funding Capital
Expenditures by Borrower), Borrower shall repay the Advances, subject to the
right to reborrow hereunder, in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such
issuance, incurrence and/or capital contribution (i.e., gross proceeds less the
reasonable costs of

     

    
      
         

      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    such
issuance, incurrence and/or capital contribution), such repayments to be made
promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of
such net proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in
trust for Agent pursuant to an express trust hereby, separate and segregated
from all other funds, assets and property of Borrower.  The foregoing
shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance and/or incurrence
of Indebtedness or issuance of additional Equity Interests otherwise prohibited
by the terms and conditions hereof (to the extent, if any, of any such
prohibition contained herein).

     

    (c) Upon (i)
payment by any insurer of any proceeds under any insurance policy of Borrower in
respect of any destruction, damage or other casualty event with respect to any
property or assets of Borrower or (ii) payment of any award in respect of any
exercise of eminent domain, condemnation or other taking by any Governmental
Body with respect to any property or assets of Borrower, Borrower shall repay
the Advances as and to the extent required by Section 4.11 below.

     

    2.12. 
Use of
Proceeds.

     

    Borrower shall apply the proceeds of
Advances to provide for its working capital needs and to make Intercompany
Loans.

     

    2.13. 
Defaulting
Lender.

     

    (a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender (x) has
refused (which refusal constitutes a breach by such Lender of its obligations
under this Agreement) to make available its portion of any Advance or (y)
notifies either Agent or Borrower that it does not intend to make available its
portion of any Advance (if the actual refusal would constitute a breach by such
Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) (each, a “Lender Default”), all
rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) as to
which a Lender Default is in effect and of the other parties hereto shall be
modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.13 while such
Lender Default remains in effect.

     

    (b) Advances
(other than Swing Loans, which shall be advanced by NCB) shall be incurred pro
rata from Lenders (the “Non-Defaulting Lenders”) which are not Defaulting
Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment
Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Advances required to be
advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of such Lender
Default.  Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of
Advances shall be applied to reduce the applicable Advances of each Lender
(other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata based on the aggregate of the
outstanding Advances of that type of all Lenders at the time of such
application; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a
Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s
benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any
payments hereunder (including
any principal, interest or fees).  Amounts payable to a Defaulting
Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent.  Agent may hold
and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrower the amount of such payments received
or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c) A
Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to
approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this
Agreement and the Other Documents.  All amendments, waivers and other
modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without
regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “Required
Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and not to have
either Advances outstanding or a Commitment Percentage.

     

    (d) Other
than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.13, the rights and obligations of
a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other
parties hereto shall remain unchanged.  Nothing in this Section 2.13
shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this
Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate
as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall
prejudice any rights which Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any
Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender
hereunder.

     

    (e) In the
event a Defaulting Lender retroactively cures to the satisfaction of Agent the
breach which caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting
Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender
under this Agreement.

     

    III. 
INTEREST
AND FEES.

     

    3.1. 
Interest.

     

    (a) Interest
on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month with
respect to Base Rate Loans and, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the
end of each Interest Period.  Interest charges shall be computed on
the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month at a rate
per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the applicable
Revolving Interest Rate and (ii) with respect to Swing Loans, the rate set forth
in subclause (a) of the definition of Revolving Interest Rate (as applicable,
the “Contract Rate”).  Whenever, subsequent to the date of this
Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the applicable
Contract Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by
an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate during
the time such change or changes remain in effect.  The Eurodollar Rate
shall be adjusted with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans without notice or demand
of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of
such effective date.  Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the
direction of Required Lenders, the Obligations shall bear interest at the
applicable Contract Rate plus two (2%) percent
per annum (as applicable, the “Default Rate”).

     

    (b) For the
purposes of the Interest Act
(Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to
be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of
a 360-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such
calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of
days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by
360.  The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates,
and not effective rates or yields.  The principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this
Agreement.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        31

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c) Any
provision of this Agreement that would oblige Borrower to pay any fine, penalty
or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a
mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of
increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on
principal money not in arrears shall not apply to Borrower, which shall be
required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest
payable on principal money not in arrears.

     

    (d) If any
provision of this Agreement would oblige Borrower to make any payment of
interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a
rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that
Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the
Criminal Code
(Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate
shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum
amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by
applicable law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a
“criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but
only to the extent necessary), as follows:

     

    (i) first, by
reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

     

    (ii) thereafter,
by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts
required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of
section 347 of the Criminal Code
(Canada).

     

    3.2. 
Facility
Fee.  If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the average
daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances (and for purposes of this
calculation, all Swing Loans advanced by NCB shall be treated as Revolving
Advances) for each day of such calendar quarter does not equal the Maximum
Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrower shall pay to Agent for the ratable
benefit of Lenders a fee at a rate equal to one-half of one percent (.50%) per
annum on the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount exceeds such
average daily unpaid balance of Revolving Advances.  Such fee shall be
payable to Agent in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter with
respect to the previous calendar quarter.

     

    3.3. 
Fees.

     

    (a) Borrower
shall pay the closing fee to the Agent in the amount of $37,500 on the Closing
Date.

     

    (b) Agent
may, in its Permitted Discretion, exercised in a commercially reasonable manner,
at any time after the Closing Date, engage the services of an independent
appraisal firm or firms of reputable standing, satisfactory to Agent, for the
purpose of appraising the then current values of Borrower’s Inventory. Absent
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default at such time, Agent shall consult with Borrower as to the identity of
any such firm.  All of the fees and out-of-pocket costs and expense of
any such firm (collectively, “appraisal amounts”) shall be paid for when due, in
full and without off-set, by Borrower.  In the event the value of
Borrower’s Inventory, as so determined pursuant to such appraisal, is less than
anticipated by Agent or Lenders, such that the Revolving Advances against
Eligible Inventory, are in fact in excess of such Advances permitted hereunder,
then, promptly upon Agent’s written

     

    
      
         

      

      
        32

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    demand
for same, Borrower shall make mandatory prepayments of the then outstanding
Revolving Advances made against such Eligible Inventory so as to eliminate the
excess Advances, provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred hereunder, Agent shall not charge Borrower for more than (i) two such
examinations in the first year from the Closing Date and (ii) one such
examination in each year thereafter.

     

    3.4. 
Computation of Interest and
Fees.  Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days
elapsed.  If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable
on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the
applicable Contract Rate during such extension.

     

    3.5. 
Maximum
Charges.  In no event whatsoever shall interest and other
charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the
event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed
the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied
to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower, and if the then remaining
excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders
shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof
shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

     

    3.6. 
Increased
Costs.  In the event that any Applicable Law or any change
therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any
Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.6, the term “Lender” shall include Agent
or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender) and
the office or branch where Agent or any Lender (as so defined) makes or
maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary
or other authority, shall:

     

    (a) subject
Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any Other Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to
Agent or any Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable
hereunder or under any Other Documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on
the overall net income of Agent or any Lender by the jurisdiction in which it
maintains its principal office);

     

    (b) impose,
modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar
requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of,
advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent or any
Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System; or

     

    (c) impose on
Agent or any Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar market any other
condition with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document;

     

                     and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any
Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount
that Agent or such Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any
payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the
Advances by an amount that Agent or such Lender deems to be material, then, in
any case Borrower shall promptly pay Agent or such Lender, upon

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
        33

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    its
demand, such additional amount as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such
additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the
Eurodollar Rate, as the case may be.  Agent or such Lender shall
certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrower, and
such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    3.7. 
Basis For Determining
Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.  In the event that Agent or
any Lender shall have determined that:

     

    (a) reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to
Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or

     

    (b) Dollar
deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available
in the London interbank Eurodollar market, with respect to an outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loan, a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion
of a Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan,

     

    then
Agent shall give Borrower prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice of
such determination.  If such notice is given, (i) any such requested
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, unless Borrower shall
notify Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) two (2) Business Days prior
to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing
shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii)
any Base Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate Loan which was to have been converted to
an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into
a Base Rate Loan, or, if Borrower shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m.
(Toronto time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be
maintained as an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (iii) any
outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted into a Base Rate
Loan, or, if Borrower shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto
time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such affected Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be
converted into an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last Business
Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Eurodollar Rate
Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no
obligation to make an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan or maintain
outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans and Borrower shall not have the right
to convert a Base Rate Loan or an unaffected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan into
an affected type of Eurodollar Rate Loan.

     

    3.8. 
Capital
Adequacy.

     

    (a) In the
event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that any Applicable Law or
guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in
the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by Agent or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.8,
the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank
controlling Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where Agent or any
Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Eurodollar Rate Loans with any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would
have the effect of

     

    
      
         

      

      
        34

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    reducing
the rate of return on Agent or any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent or such Lender could
have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration Agent’s and each Lender’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent or any Lender to be material, then, from
time to time, Borrower shall pay upon demand to Agent or such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such
reduction.  In determining such amount or amounts, Agent or such
Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods.  The
protection of this Section 3.8 shall be available to Agent and each Lender
regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with
respect to the Applicable Law or condition; provided, however, that Agent and
Lenders shall demonstrate to Borrower that they have availed themselves of such
protections with regard to their respective other similarly situated
Borrower.

     

    (b) A
certificate of Agent or such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as
shall be necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender with respect to Section
3.8(a) hereof when delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

     

    3.9. 
Gross Up for
Taxes.  If Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to
withhold or deduct any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this
Agreement or any of the Other Documents to Agent, or any Lender, assignee of any
Lender, or Participant (each, individually, a “Payee” and collectively, the
“Payees”), (a) the sum payable to such Payee or Payees, as the case may be,
shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required
withholding or deductions, the applicable Payee or Payees receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions
been made (the “Gross-Up Payment”), (b) Borrower shall make such withholding or
deductions, and (c) Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable
Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be obligated to
make any portion of the Gross-Up Payment that is attributable to any withholding
or deductions that would not have been paid or claimed had the applicable Payee
or Payees properly claimed a complete exemption with respect thereto pursuant to
this Section 3.9.  Any Payee that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Borrower is located or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party with
respect to payments hereunder, shall deliver to the Borrower such properly
completed and executed documentation, if any, prescribed by applicable law or
treaty as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate, and if any Payee receives or is granted any tax credit or
deduction which in its reasonable judgment is allocable to a Gross-Up Payment,
such Payee shall pay to the Borrower the amount of such credit or deduction to
the extent it will leave the Payee in no worse position than it would have been
if the Borrower had not been required to make the Gross-Up
Payment.  Nothing contained herein shall interfere with the right of
any Payee to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it deems appropriate or
to claim relief from a tax liability in priority to any other credit or
deduction available to it.

    IV. 
COLLATERAL:  GENERAL TERMS

     

    4.1. 
Security Interest in the
Collateral.

     

    (a) To secure
the prompt payment and performance to Agent and each Lender of the Obligations,
Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Agent for its benefit and for the
ratable benefit of each Lender a continuing security interest in and to and Lien
on all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or
arising and wheresoever located.  Borrower shall mark its books and
records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect
Agent’s security interest and shall cause its financial statements to reflect
such security interest.  Borrower shall promptly provide Agent with
written notice of all commercial tort claims, such notice to contain the case
title together with the applicable court and a brief description of the
claim(s).  Upon delivery of each such notice, Borrower shall be deemed
to hereby grant to Agent a security interest and lien in and to such commercial
tort claims and all proceeds thereof.

     

    (b) Borrower
confirms that value has been given by Agent to Borrower, that Borrower has
rights in the Collateral existing at the date of this Agreement and that
Borrower and Agent have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of any of
the Liens to any of the Collateral.  The Liens will have effect and be
deemed to be effective whether or not the Obligations or any part thereof are
owing or in existence before or after or upon the date of this
Agreement.

     

    4.2. Perfection of Security
Interest.  Borrower shall take all action that may be necessary
or desirable, or that Agent may request, so as at all times to maintain the
validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent’s security interest
in and Lien on the Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce
its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i)
immediately discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii)
obtaining Lien Waiver Agreements, (iii) delivering to Agent, endorsed or
accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping
or marking, in such manner as Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper,
instruments, letters of credits and advices thereof and documents evidencing or
forming a part of the Collateral, (iv) entering into warehousing, lockbox and
other custodial arrangements satisfactory to Agent, and (v) executing and
delivering financing statements, control agreements, instruments of pledge,
mortgages, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection,
maintenance or continuation of Agent’s security interest and Lien under the
PPSA, the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law.  By its
signature hereto, Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file against Borrower, one
or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the PPSA,
the Uniform Commercial Code in form and substance satisfactory to Agent (which
statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set

doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be
charged to Borrower’s Account as a Revolving Advance of a Base Rate Loan and
added to the Obligations, or, at Agent’s option, shall be paid to Agent for its
benefit and for the ratable benefit of Lenders immediately upon
demand.

    4.4. 
Preservation of
Collateral.  In addition to the rights and remedies set forth
in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent: (a) may at any time take such steps as Agent
deems necessary in its Permitted Discretion to protect Agent’s interest in and
to preserve the Collateral, including the hiring of such security guards or the
placing of other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b)
may employ and maintain at any of Borrower’s premises a custodian who shall have
full authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent’s interests in the
Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or

egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and
through any of Borrower’s owned or leased property.  Borrower shall
cooperate fully with all of Agent’s efforts to preserve the Collateral and will
take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct.  All
of Agent’s expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses
relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be charged to Borrower’s Account
as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

     

    4.5. 
Ownership of
Collateral.

     

    (a) With
respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent’s
security interest:  (i) Borrower shall be the sole owner of and fully
authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a security interest
in each and every item of the its respective Collateral to Agent; and, except
for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens
and encumbrances whatsoever; (ii) each document and agreement executed by

     and
street address, of all Real Property owned or leased by Borrower, together with
the names and addresses of any landlords.

     

    4.6. 
Defense of Agent’s and
Lenders’ Interests.  Until (a) payment and performance in full
of all of the Obligations (other than indemnification obligations for which no
claim has been made) and (b) termination of this Agreement, Agent’s interests in
the Collateral shall continue in full force and effect.  During such
period the Borrower shall not, without Agent’s prior written consent, pledge,
sell (except Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business and other Collateral
to the extent permitted in Section 4.3 hereof), assign, transfer, create or
suffer to exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in
any way except for Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the
Collateral.  Borrower shall defend Agent’s interests in the Collateral
against any and all Persons whatsoever.  At any time following demand
by Agent for payment of all Obligations, Agent shall have the right to take
possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever
physical form contained, including:  labels, stationery, documents,
instruments and advertising materials.  If Agent exercises this right
to take possession of the Collateral, Borrower shall, upon demand, assemble it
in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably
convenient to Agent.  In addition, with respect to all Collateral,
Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth
herein and further provided by the PPSA, the Uniform Commercial Code or other
Applicable Law.  Borrower shall, and Agent may, at its option,
instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or
holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a
security interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order and
if they shall come into Borrower’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be
held by Borrower in trust as Agent’s trustee, and Borrower will immediately
deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary
endorsement.

     

    4.7. 
Books and
Records.  Borrower shall: (a) keep proper books of record and
account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or
transactions of or in relation to its business and affairs; (b) set up on its
books accruals with respect to all taxes, assessments, charges, levies and
claims; and (c) on a reasonably current basis set up on its books, from its
earnings, allowances against doubtful Receivables, advances and investments and
all other proper accruals (including by reason of enumeration, accruals for
premiums, if any, due on required payments and accruals for depreciation,
obsolescence, or amortization of properties), which should be set aside from
such earnings in connection with its business.  All determinations
pursuant to this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or as required by,
GAAP consistently applied in the opinion of such independent public accountant
as shall then be regularly engaged by Borrower.

     

    4.8. 
Financial
Disclosure.  Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
all accountants and auditors employed by Borrower at any time during the Term to
exhibit and deliver to Agent and each Lender copies of any of Borrower’s
financial statements, trial balances or other accounting records of any sort in
the accountant’s or auditor’s possession, and to disclose to Agent and each
Lender any information such accountants may have concerning Borrower’s financial
status and business operations.  Borrower hereby authorizes all
Governmental Bodies to furnish to Agent and each Lender copies of reports or
examinations relating to Borrower, whether made by Borrower or otherwise;
however, Agent and each Lender

     

    
      
         

      

      
        38

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    will
attempt to obtain such information or materials directly from Borrower prior to
obtaining such information or materials from such accountants or Governmental
Bodies.

     

    4.9. 
Compliance with
Laws.  Borrower shall comply with all Applicable Laws with
respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of Borrower’s
business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower may, however, contest or dispute
any Applicable Laws in any reasonable manner, provided that any related Lien is
inchoate or stayed and sufficient reserves are established to the reasonable
satisfaction of Agent to protect Agent’s Lien on or security interest in the
Collateral.

     

    4.10. 
Inspection of
Premises.  At all reasonable times and so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, upon contemporaneous notice to Borrower,
Agent and each Lender shall have full access to and the right to audit, check,
inspect and make abstracts and copies from Borrower’s books, records, audits,
correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation
of Borrower’s business.  Subject to the foregoing, Agent, any Lender
and their agents may enter upon any premises of Borrower at any time during
business hours and at any other reasonable time, and from time to time, for the
purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto
and the operation of Borrower’s business; provided, that Agent shall use its
best efforts to conduct such inspections in a manner that will not interfere
with Borrower’s continued operations and no Lender shall have the independent
right to enter the premises of Borrower without Agent.

     

    4.11. 
Insurance.  The
assets and properties of Borrower at all times shall be maintained in accordance
with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with
respect to the assets and properties of Borrower so that such insurance shall
remain in full force and effect.  Borrower shall bear the full risk of
any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral.  At
Borrower’s own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers acceptable to
Agent, Borrower shall: (a) keep all its insurable properties and properties in
which Borrower has an interest insured against the hazards of fire, flood,
sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by “all-risk” coverage insurance and
such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of
companies engaged in businesses similar to Borrower’s including business
interruption insurance; (b) maintain crime and fiduciary liability insurance in
such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses
similar to Borrower insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal
misappropriation of insured’s officers and employees who may either singly or
jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of Borrower
either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct
generally the disposition of such assets; (c) maintain public and product
liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage
suffered by others; (d) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar
insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in
which Borrower is engaged in business; (e) furnish Agent with (i) evidence of
the maintenance of such policies by the renewal thereof at least fifteen (15)
days before any expiration date, and (ii) appropriate loss payable endorsements
in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as a loss payee as its
interests may appear with respect to all insurance
coverage referred to in clause (a) above, and as an additional insured with
respect to all insurance coverage referred to in clause (c) above, and providing
(A) that all proceeds under all insurance coverage referred to in clause (a)
above shall be payable to Agent, (B) no such insurance shall be affected by any
act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property

     

    
      
         

      

      
        39

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    described
in such policy. Borrower shall not cancel, amend or terminate such policy and
loss payable clauses referred to in clause (e) above unless at least thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice is given to Agent.  In the event of any
loss under all insurance coverage referred to in clause (a) above, the carriers
named therein hereby are directed by Agent and the Borrower to make payment for
such loss to Agent and not to Borrower and Agent jointly.  If any
insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to
Borrower and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse Borrower’s name thereon and do
such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to
cash.  Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims
under insurance coverage referred to in clauses (a), and (b) above; provided
however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing, Borrower shall have the right to adjust and compromise claims in
amounts less than $250,000.  All loss recoveries upon any such
insurance shall be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Agent in its
sole discretion shall determine.  Any surplus shall be paid by Agent
to Borrower or applied as may be otherwise required by law.  Any
deficiency thereon shall be paid by Borrower to Agent, on demand.

     

    4.12. 
Failure to Pay
Insurance.  If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as
hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Agent, if Agent so elects,
may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of Borrower,
and charge Borrower’s Account therefor as a Revolving Advance of a Base Rate
Loan and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations.

     

    4.13. 
Payment of
Taxes.  Except to the extent such charges are Properly
Contested, Borrower will pay, when due, all taxes, assessments and other Charges
lawfully levied or assessed upon Borrower or any of the Collateral including
real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise,
income, employment, social security benefits, withholding, and sales
taxes.  If any tax by any Governmental Body is or may be imposed on or
as a result of any transaction between Borrower and Agent or any Lender which
Agent or any Lender may be required to withhold or pay or if any taxes,
assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their
payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Agent’s or any Lender’s
opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, Agent may without
notice to Borrower pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and Borrower
hereby indemnifies and holds Agent and each Lender harmless in respect
thereof.  Agent will not pay any taxes, assessments or Charges to the
extent that Borrower has Properly Contested such charges.  The amount
of any payment by Agent under this Section 4.13 shall be charged to Borrower’s
Account as a Revolving Advance of a Base Rate Loan and added to the Obligations
and, until Borrower shall furnish Agent with an indemnity therefor (or supply
Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent that due provision for the payment
thereof has been made), Agent may hold without interest any balance standing to
Borrower’s credit and Agent shall retain its security interest in and Lien on
any and all Collateral held by Agent.

     

    4.14. 
Payment of Leasehold
Obligations.  Borrower shall at all times pay, when and as due,
its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall
otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases
and keep them in full force and effect and, at Agent’s request will provide
evidence of having done so; provided, that the foregoing will not apply to any
leases Borrower have for reasonable business purposes elected to terminate early
and from which Borrower have removed Collateral to another location otherwise in
compliance herewith.

4.15.  Receivables.

     

    (a) Nature of
Receivables.  Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and
valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer
therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto
(provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a
breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods
upon stated terms of Borrower, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered
by Borrower as of the date each Receivable is created.  Same shall be
due and owing in accordance with the Borrower’s standard terms of sale without
dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts
receivable schedules delivered by Borrower to Agent.

     

    (b) Solvency of
Customers.  Each Customer, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge,
as of the date each Receivable is created, is and will be solvent and able to
pay all Receivables on which the Customer is obligated in full when due or with
respect to such Customers of Borrower who are not to Borrower’s knowledge
solvent Borrower has set up on its books and in its financial records bad debt
reserves adequate to cover such Receivables.

     

    (c) Location of
Borrower.  Borrower’s chief executive office is located at the
office identified on Schedule 4.15 attached hereto.  Until written
notice is given to Agent by Borrower of any other office at which Borrower keeps
its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such
executive office.

     

    (d) Collection of
Receivables.  Except as permitted in Section 4.15(g) hereof,
until Borrower’s authority to do so is terminated by Agent (which notice Agent
may give at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a
Default or when Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems it to be in Lenders’
best interest to do so), Borrower will, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, but
on Agent’s behalf and for Agent’s account, collect as Agent’s property and in
trust for Agent all amounts received on Receivables, and shall not commingle
such collections with Borrower’s funds or use the same except to pay
Obligations.  Borrower shall deposit in the Blocked Account or, upon
request by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and on the date of receipt
thereof, all checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other
evidences of Indebtedness.

     

    (e) Notification of Assignment
of Receivables.  At any time following the occurrence of an
Event of Default or when Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems it in Lenders’
best interest to do so, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the
assignment of, and Agent’s security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables to
any and all Customers or any third party in possession of or with other rights
in any of the Collateral.  Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right
to collect the Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or
both.  Agent’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited
to, stationery and postage, telephone and telegraph, secretarial and clerical
expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may
be charged to Borrower’s Account and added to the Obligations.

     
                               
(f) Power of Agent to Act on
Borrower’s Behalf.  Agent shall have the right to receive,
endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of Agent or Borrower any and all
checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the
Receivables, and Borrower hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and
non-payment of any instrument so endorsed.

    
      
         

      

      
        41

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Borrower
hereby constitutes Agent or Agent’s designee as Borrower’s attorney with power
(i) at any time: (A) to endorse Borrower’s name upon any notes, acceptances,
checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (B) to
sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the
Receivables, drafts against Customers, assignments and verifications of
Receivables; (C) to send verifications of Receivables to any Customer; (D) to
sign Borrower’s name on all financing statements or any other documents or
instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to preserve, protect, or
perfect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and to file same; and (ii) at any
time following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default: (A) to demand
payment of the Receivables; (B) to enforce payment of the Receivables by legal
proceedings or otherwise; (C) to exercise all of Borrower’s rights and remedies
with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral; (D)
to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables; (E) to settle,
adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables; (F)
to prepare, file and sign Borrower’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or
similar document against any Customer; (G) to prepare, file and sign Borrower’s
name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar
document in connection with the Receivables; (H) to accept the return of goods
represented by any of the Receivables without notice to or consent by Borrower,
without discharging or in any way affecting Borrower’s liability hereunder and
(I) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this
Agreement.  All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified
and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of
omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of
law, unless done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this
power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations
remain unpaid.  Agent shall have the right at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default change the address for delivery of mail
addressed to Borrower to such address as Agent may designate and to receive,
open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower.

     

    (g) Establishment of a Lockbox
Account, Dominion Account.  All proceeds of Collateral shall be
deposited by Borrower into either (i) a lockbox account, dominion account or
such other “blocked account” (“Blocked Accounts”) established at a bank or banks
(each such bank, a “Blocked Account Bank”) pursuant to an arrangement with such
Blocked Account Bank as may be selected by Borrower and be acceptable to Agent
or (ii) depository accounts (“Depository Accounts”) established at Agent for the
deposit of such proceeds.  Borrower, Agent and each Blocked Account
Bank shall enter into a deposit account control agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent directing such Blocked Account Bank, upon notice from
Agent, to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent, either to any account
maintained by Agent at said Blocked Account Bank or by wire transfer to
appropriate account(s) of Agent.  All funds deposited in such Blocked
Accounts shall immediately become the property of Agent and Borrower shall
obtain the agreement by such Blocked Account Bank to waive any offset rights
against the funds so deposited.  Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes
any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of
accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any
Blocked Account Bank thereunder.  All deposit accounts and investment
accounts of Borrower are set forth on Schedule
4.15(g).  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Section 4.15(g), Borrower shall be permitted to
deposit checks or other payments received at Borrower’s locations in the
Ordinary Course of Business in deposit accounts which may not be subject to a
blocked account or similar agreements; provided that, at

     

    
      
         

      

      
        42

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    no time
shall Borrower have more than $50,000 in the aggregate in all such accounts
which are not Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts.

     

    (h) Adjustments.  Borrower
will not, without Agent’s consent, compromise or adjust any material amount of
the Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material
returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits
thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits
and allowances as granted in the Ordinary Course of Business of
Borrower.

     

    4.16. 
Intentionally
Omitted

     

    4.17. 
Maintenance of
Equipment.  The Equipment shall be maintained in good operating
condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary
replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and
operating efficiency of the Equipment shall be maintained and
preserved.  Borrower shall not use or operate the Equipment in
violation of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation the violation
of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  Borrower shall have the right to sell Equipment to the extent
set forth in Section 4.3 hereof.

     

    4.18. 
Exculpation of
Liability.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed to
constitute Agent or any Lender as Borrower’s agent for any purpose whatsoever,
nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage,
discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever
the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof.  Neither
Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or
otherwise, assume any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement
assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be
responsible in any way for the performance by Borrower of any of the terms and
conditions thereof.

     

    4.19. 
Environmental
Matters.

     

    (a) Borrower
shall ensure that the Real Property and all operations and businesses conducted
thereon remains in material compliance with all Environmental Laws and shall not
place or permit to be placed any Hazardous Substances on any Real Property
except as permitted by Applicable Law or appropriate governmental
authorities.

     

    (b) Borrower
shall maintain procedures to assure and monitor continued material compliance
with all applicable Environmental Laws which procedures shall include periodic
reviews of such compliance.

     

    (c) Borrower
shall (i) employ in connection with the use of the Real Property appropriate
technology necessary to maintain compliance with any applicable Environmental
Laws and (ii) dispose of any and all Hazardous Waste generated at the Real
Property only at facilities and with carriers that maintain valid permits under
any applicable Environmental Laws.  Borrower shall use its best
efforts to obtain certificates of disposal, such as hazardous waste manifest
receipts, from all treatment, transport, storage or disposal facilities or
operators employed by Borrower in connection with the transport or disposal of
any Hazardous Waste generated at the Real Property.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        43

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (d) In the
event Borrower obtains, gives or receives written notice of any Release or
threat of Release of a reportable quantity of any Hazardous Substances at the
Real Property (any such event being hereinafter referred to as a “Hazardous
Discharge”) or receives any written notice of violation, request for information
or notification that it is potentially responsible for investigation or cleanup
of environmental conditions at the Real Property, demand letter or complaint,
order, citation, or other written notice with regard to any Hazardous Discharge
or violation of Environmental Laws affecting the Real Property or Borrower’s
interest therein (any of the foregoing is referred to herein as an
“Environmental Complaint”) from any Person, including any Governmental Body
responsible in whole or in part for environmental matters in the province in
which the Real Property is located (any such person or entity hereinafter the
“Authority”), then Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days, give written
notice of same to Agent detailing facts and circumstances of which Borrower is
aware giving rise to the Hazardous Discharge or Environmental
Complaint.  Such information is to be provided to allow Agent to
protect its security interest in and Lien on the Real Property and the
Collateral and is not intended to create nor shall it create any obligation upon
Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.

     

    (e) Borrower
shall promptly forward to Agent copies of any written request for information,
notification of potential liability, demand letter relating to potential
responsibility with respect to the investigation or cleanup of Hazardous
Substances at any other site owned, operated or used by Borrower to dispose of
Hazardous Substances and shall continue to forward copies of correspondence
between Borrower and the Authority regarding such claims to Agent until the
claim is settled.  Borrower shall promptly forward to Agent copies of
all documents and reports concerning a Hazardous Discharge at the Real Property
that Borrower is required to file under any Environmental Laws.  Such
information is to be provided solely to allow Agent to protect Agent’s security
interest in and Lien on the Real Property and the Collateral.

     

    (f) Borrower
shall respond promptly as required by Environmental Laws to any Hazardous
Discharge or Environmental Complaint and take all necessary action in order to
safeguard the health of any Person and to avoid subjecting the Collateral or
Real Property to any Lien.  If Borrower shall fail to respond promptly
to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint or Borrower shall fail to
comply with any of the requirements of any Environmental Laws, Agent on behalf
of Lenders may, but without the obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of
protecting Agent’s interest in the Collateral: (i) give such notices or (ii)
enter onto the Real Property (or authorize third parties to enter onto the Real
Property) and take such actions as Agent (or such third parties as directed by
Agent) deem reasonably necessary or advisable, to clean up, remove, mitigate or
otherwise deal with any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental
Complaint.  All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent and
Lenders (or such third parties) in the exercise of any such rights, including
any sums paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or
proceedings, fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date
expended at the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances
shall be paid upon demand by Borrower, and until paid shall be added to and
become a part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of
this Agreement or any other agreement between Agent, any Lender and
Borrower.

    (g) Promptly
upon the written request of Agent from time to time, Borrower shall provide
Agent, at Borrower’s expense, with an environmental site assessment or
environmental audit report prepared by an environmental engineering firm
acceptable in the reasonable opinion of Agent, to assess with a reasonable
degree of certainty the existence of a Hazardous Discharge and the potential
costs in connection with abatement, cleanup and removal of any Hazardous
Substances found on, under, at or within the Real Property.  Unless an
Event of Default has occurred, such requests shall be made no more frequently
than once per year unless Agent reasonably believes that a Hazardous Discharge
has occurred or an Environmental Complaint has been or will be
filed.  Any report or investigation of such Hazardous Discharge
proposed and acceptable to an appropriate Authority that is charged to oversee
the clean-up of such Hazardous Discharge shall be acceptable to
Agent.  If such estimates, individually or in the aggregate, exceed
$100,000, Agent shall have the right to require Borrower to post a bond, letter
of credit or other security reasonably satisfactory to Agent to secure payment
of these costs and expenses.

     

    (h) Borrower
shall defend and indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent, Lenders and their
respective employees, agents, directors and officers harmless from and against
all loss, liability, damage and expense, claims, costs, fines and penalties,
including attorney’s fees, suffered or incurred by Agent or Lenders under or on
account of any Environmental Laws, including the assertion of any Lien
thereunder, with respect to any Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any
Hazardous Substances affecting the Real Property, whether or not the same
originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate,
including any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing,
except to the extent such loss, liability, damage, expense claim, cost, fine or
penalty is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge or the presence of any
Hazardous Substances resulting from (i) actions on the part of Agent or any
Lender or (ii) the actions of a third party which occur after the termination of
this Agreement.  Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4.19 shall
arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at the Real
Property, whether or not any federal, provincial, or local environmental agency
has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any
Hazardous Substances.  Borrower’s obligation and the indemnifications
hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     

    (i) For
purposes of Section 4.19 and 5.7, all references to Real Property shall be
deemed to include all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to its
owned and leased premises.

     

    4.20. 
Financing
Statements.  Except as respects the financing statements filed
by Agent and the financing statements described on Schedule 1.2, no financing
statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is on file in
any public office.

     

    4.21. 
Security Interest
Limitations.  The security interests granted herein shall not
attach to (i) any consumer goods of Borrower, or (ii) the last day of any real
property lease, or any agreement to lease, to which Borrower is now or becomes a
party as lessee, provided that any such last day shall be held in trust by
Borrower for Agent and, on the exercise by Agent of it rights and remedies
hereunder, shall be assigned by Borrower as directed by
Agent.  Notwithstanding Section 4.1 hereof, Agent shall only have a
security interest in, and not a present assignment of, any Canadian trademarks
forming part of the Collateral.

    XI. LENDERS’
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

     

    11.1. 
Rights and
Remedies.

     

    (a) Upon the
occurrence of (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 all Obligations
shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of
Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated; and, (ii) any of the other
Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Required Lenders
all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Lenders shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to
make Advances and (iii) a filing of a petition against Borrower in any
involuntary case under any provincial or federal insolvency or bankruptcy laws,
all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and the obligation of
Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be terminated other than as may be
required by an appropriate order of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction
over Borrower.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent
shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for
herein, under the Other Documents, under the PPSA and at law or equity
generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted
herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure
and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or
without judicial process.  Agent may enter any of Borrower’s premises
or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to
Borrower therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its
discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to
such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Borrower to make
the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place.  With or
without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the
Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or
place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms,
either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may
elect.  Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable
or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, Agent shall give Borrower reasonable notification of such
sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to
Borrower at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable
notification.  At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid for and
become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such
sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or
right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such
claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by
Borrower.  In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies,
including the sale of Inventory, Agent is granted a perpetual nonrevocable,
royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use all of
Borrower’s (a) trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents, patent
applications, copyrights, service marks, licenses, franchises and other
proprietary rights which are used or useful in connection with Inventory for the
purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of
such Inventory and (b) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture
of unfinished goods.  The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any
Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section
11.5 hereof.  Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations
as they are converted into cash.  If any deficiency shall arise,
Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

     
                             
(b) To the
extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a
commercially reasonable manner, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not
commercially unreasonable for Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably
deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise
to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other
finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents
for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by
other 

    
      
         

      

      
        63

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    law, to
fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or
disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to
exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv)
to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the
same business as Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any
portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers
to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of
a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet
sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match
buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than
retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title,
possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements
to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral
or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of
Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the
services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral.  Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section
11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by
Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent’s exercise of remedies
against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be
deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in
this Section 11.1(b).  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing
contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to
Borrower or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or
imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section
11.1(b).

     

    (c) Without
limiting any right or remedy of Agent in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default, Agent may by instrument in writing appoint any person as a
receiver of all or any part of the Collateral of Borrower.  Agent may
from time to time remove or replace a receiver, or make application to any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver.  Any
receiver appointed by Agent shall (for purposes relating to responsibility for
the receiver’s acts or omissions) be considered to be the agent of
Borrower.  Agent may from time to time fix the receiver’s remuneration
and Borrower shall pay the amount of such remuneration to
Agent.  Agent shall not be liable to Borrower or any other person in
connection with appointing or not appointing a receiver or in connection with
the receiver’s actions or omissions.

     

    11.2. 
Agent’s
Discretion.  Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion
to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at
any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate,
or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such
determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’
rights hereunder.

     
                11.3. 
Setoff.  Subject
to Section 14.12, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may
have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder,
Agent and each Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any
kind, to apply Borrower’s property held by Agent or such Lender to reduce the
Obligations.

    
      
         

      

      
        64

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

                    11.4. 
Rights and Remedies not
Exclusive.  The enumeration of the foregoing rights and
remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or
remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided
for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and
not alternative.

     

    11.5. 
Allocation of Payments After
Event of Default.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the
Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Other Documents or
in respect of the Collateral (less amounts payable to the holders of prior
Permitted Encumbrances) shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

     

    FIRST, to
the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees) of Agent in connection with enforcing its rights and the
rights of Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents and any
protective advances made by Agent with respect to the Collateral under or
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

     

    SECOND,
to payment of any fees owed to Agent;

     

    THIRD, to
the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of Lenders to the extent owing to such
Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

     

    FOURTH,
to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued interest on
account of the Swing Loans;

     

    FIFTH, to
the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations consisting of
Swing Loans;

     

    SIXTH, to
the payment of all of the remaining Obligations consisting of accrued fees and
interest;

     

    SEVENTH,
to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the remaining Obligations
(including the payment or cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of
Credit);

     

    EIGHTH,
to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and
payable under the Other Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to
clauses “FIRST” through “SEVENTH” above; and

     

    
      NINTH, to
the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus.

       

      In
carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
succeeding category; and (ii) each of Lenders shall receive (so long as it is
not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the
proportion that the then outstanding Advances held by such Lender bears to the
aggregate then outstanding Advances) of amounts available to be applied pursuant
to clauses “SIXTH”, “SEVENTH” and “EIGHTH” above.

    

    
      
         

      

      
        65

action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any

    XIII. EFFECTIVE
DATE AND TERMINATION.

     

    13.1. 
Term.  This
Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the
respective successors and permitted assigns of Borrower, Agent and each Lender,
shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and
effect until September 28, 2012 (the “Term”) unless sooner terminated as herein
provided.  Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time upon
ninety (90) days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of the
Obligations.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this
Agreement shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the U.S. Loan
Agreement.

     
               
13.2.  Termination.  The
termination of the Agreement shall not affect Borrower’s, Agent’s or any

        66

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    granted
to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder
shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this
Agreement or the fact that Borrower’s Account may from time to time be
temporarily in a zero or credit position, until all of the Obligations of
Borrower have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full after the termination
of this Agreement (other than obligations for indemnification for which no claim
has been made) or Borrower has furnished Agent and Lenders with an
indemnification satisfactory to Agent and Lenders with respect
thereto).  Accordingly, Borrower waives any rights which it may have
under the Uniform Commercial Code or the PPSA to demand the filing of
termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be
required to send such termination statements to Borrower, or to file them with
any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in
accordance with its terms and all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full in immediately available funds (other than obligations for indemnification
for which no claim has been made and for which Borrower have furnished Agent and
Lenders with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent and
Lenders.  All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and
agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until all
Obligations are indefeasibly paid and performed in full.

     

    XIV. REGARDING
AGENT.

     

    14.1. 
Appointment.  Each
Lender hereby designates NCB to act as Agent for such Lender under this
Agreement and the Other Documents.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably
authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform
such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or
required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of
principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 3.3 and 3.4
and the Closing Fee), charges and collections (without giving effect to any
collection days) received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders.  Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through
its agents or employees.  As to any matters not expressly provided for
by this Agreement (including collection of the Notes) Agent shall not be
required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to
act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such
instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be
required to take any action which exposes Agent to liability or which is
contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent
is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with
respect thereto.

     

    14.2. 
Nature of
Duties.  Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other
Documents.  Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them
as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not
mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any
manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by
Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the
Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        67

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    due
execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other
Documents or for any failure of Borrower to perform its obligations
hereunder.  Agent shall not 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 of the Other
Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of
Borrower.  The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Borrower
shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason
of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing
in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed
as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as
expressly set forth herein.

     

    14.3. 
Lack of Reliance on Agent
and Resignation.  Independently and without reliance upon Agent
or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and
each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances
hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and
(ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and each
Guarantor.  Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall
be provided by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof.  Agent shall not
be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate
or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of Borrower or
any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this
Agreement, the Notes, the Other Documents or the financial condition of
Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

     

    Agent may
resign on sixty (60) days’ written notice to each of Lenders and Borrower and
upon such resignation, the Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor
Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrower.

     

    Any such
successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the
term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and
the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated,
without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Agent.  After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this
Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

     
               
14.4.  Certain Rights of
Agent.  If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders
with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with
this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from
such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received
instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to
any Person by reason of so refraining.  Without limiting the
foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent
as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with
the instructions of the Required Lenders.

    14.5. 
Reliance.  Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or
telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters
pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder,
upon advice of counsel selected by it.  Agent may employ agents and
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any
such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable
care.

     

    14.6. 
Notice of
Default.  Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice
of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the
Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower
referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”.  In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall
give notice thereof to Lenders.  Agent shall take such action with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by
the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received
such directions, 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
Lenders.

     

    14.7. 
Indemnification.  To
the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrower, each Lender will
reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the
Advances (or, if no Advances are outstanding, according to its Commitment
Percentage), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided
that, Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final non-appealable judgment).

     

    14.8. 
Agent in its Individual
Capacity.  With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend
under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties
as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall,
unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual
capacity as a Lender.  Agent may engage in business with Borrower as
if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and
other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement
or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

     
               
14.9.  Delivery of
Documents.  To the extent Agent receives Borrowing Base
Certificates from Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which
Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish
such documents and information to Lenders.

    14.10. 
Borrower’s Undertaking to
Agent.  Without prejudice to their respective obligations to
Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, Borrower hereby undertakes
with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to
time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them
pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid.  Any
payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant
Borrower’s obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the
relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

     

    14.11. 
No Reliance on Agent’s
Customer Identification Program.  Each Lender acknowledges and
agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or
assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s,
participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other
obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to applicable law including
any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection
with Borrower, its Affiliates or its agents, this Agreement, the Other Documents
or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity
verification procedures, (2) any record-keeping, (3) comparisons with government
lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under applicable
laws.

     

    14.12. 
Other
Agreements.  Each of Lenders agrees that it shall not, without
the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully
entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations,
any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or any deposit accounts of Borrower
now or hereafter maintained with such Lender.  Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of Lenders further agrees that
it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action
to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other
Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or
enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in
concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required
Lenders.

    XVI. MISCELLANEOUS.

     

    16.1. 
Governing
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of
Canada applicable therein.  Any judicial proceeding brought by or
against Borrower with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement, the
Other Documents or any related agreement may be brought in any court of
competent jurisdiction in the Province of Ontario and, by execution and delivery
of this Agreement, Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with its
properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound
by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this
Agreement.  Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all
process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by
registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Borrower at its address
set forth in Section 16.6 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5)
days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United
States of America or Canada, or, at Agent’s option, by service upon Borrower and
for which Borrower irrevocably appoints JOI as Borrower’s agent for the purpose
of accepting service within the State of New York or Canada.  Nothing
herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner
permitted

    by law or
shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against
Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction.  Borrower waives any
objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall
not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon
forum non conveniens.  Borrower waives the right to remove any
judicial proceeding brought against Borrower in any provincial court to any
federal court.  Any judicial proceeding by Borrower against Agent or
any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way
arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related
agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or provincial court located in the
Province of Ontario.

     

    16.2. 
Entire
Understanding.

     

    (a) This
Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire
understanding between Borrower, Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter
hereof.  Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not
herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in
writing, signed by Borrower’s, Agent’s and each Lender’s respective
officers.  Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof
may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled
or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by
an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged.  Borrower
acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the
execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral
representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.

     

    (b) The
Required Lenders, Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders, and
Borrower may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2(b), from time to
time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other
Documents executed by Borrower, for the purpose of adding or deleting any
provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of
Lenders, Agent or Borrower thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms
thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent
specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that no such
supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all Lenders:

     

    (i) increase
the Commitment Percentage, the maximum dollar commitment of any Lender or the
Maximum Revolving Advance Amount;

     

    (ii) extend
the maturity of any Notes or the due date for any amount payable hereunder, or
decrease the rate of interest or reduce any fee payable by Borrower to Lenders
pursuant to this Agreement;

     

    (iii) alter the
definition of the term Required Lenders or alter, amend or modify this Section
16.2(b);

     

    (iv) release
any Collateral during any calendar year (other than in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement) having an aggregate value in excess of
$1,000,000;

     

    (v) change
the rights and duties of Agent;

    
 

    
      
        
           

        

        
          71

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    
    

    (vi) permit
any Revolving Advance to be made if after giving effect thereto the total of
Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed the Formula Amount for
more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or exceed one hundred and five
percent (105%) of the Formula Amount;

     

    (vii) increase
the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date;
or

     

    (viii) modify
Section 11.5; or

     

    (ix) release
Borrower or any Guarantor.

     

    Any such
supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding
upon Borrower, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the
Obligations.  In the case of any waiver, Borrower, Agent and Lenders
shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default
waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a
specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default
(whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of
Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

     

    In the
event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2
and such consent is denied, then NCB may, at its option, require such Lender to
assign its interest in the Advances to NCB or to another Lender or to any other
Person designated by Agent (the “Designated Lender”), for a price equal to (i)
the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid
interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when
collected from Borrower.  In the event NCB elects to require any
Lender to assign its interest to NCB or to the Designated Lender, NCB will so
notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such
Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to NCB or the
Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice
pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, NCB or the
Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent.

     

    Notwithstanding
(a) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (b) that any of the other
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been
satisfied or (c) any other provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its
discretion and without the consent of the Required Lenders, voluntarily permit
the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by
up to five percent (5%) of the Formula Amount for up to thirty (30) consecutive
Business Days; provided that such outstanding Advances shall not exceed the
Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount (the
“Out-of-Formula Loans”).  If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute
discretion to make such Out-of-Formula Loans, such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be
payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving
Advances consisting of Base Rate Loans; provided that, if Lenders do make
Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have
changed the limits of Section 2.1(a).  For purposes of this paragraph,
the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary
overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula
Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited
to, Collateral previously deemed to be either “Eligible

     

    
      
         

      

      
        72

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Receivables”,
“Eligible Dating Receivables” or “Eligible Inventory”, as applicable, becomes
ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving
Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made
to protect or preserve the Collateral.  In the event Agent
involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula
Amount by more than five percent (5%), Agent shall use its efforts to have
Borrower decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under
the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess, but in
no event may such involuntary advances be outstanding for a period of more than
sixty (60) consecutive days without the written consent of Required
Lenders.  Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the
existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary
overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding
sentence.

     

    In
addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances
permitted above in this Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by Borrower and
Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence
and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any
time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section
8.2 hereof have not been satisfied, to make Revolving Advances to Borrower on
behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems
necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment
of the Advances and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable
to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that at any time
after giving effect to any such Revolving Advances the outstanding Revolving
Advances do not exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Formula Amount
for more than sixty (60) consecutive days without the written consent of
Required Lenders; provided further that such outstanding Advances shall not
exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate
Maximum Undrawn Amount.

     

    16.3. 
Successors and Assigns;
Participations; New Lenders.

     

    (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Agent,
each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of Agent and each Lender.

     

    (b) Borrower
acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or
more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests
in the Advances to other financial institutions (each such transferee or
purchaser of a participating interest, a “Participant”).  Each
Participant may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off)
with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations
payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof
provided that Borrower shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than
the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an
interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such
Participant had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or
other Obligations payable hereunder and in no event shall Borrower be required
to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to
the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and
such Participant.  Borrower hereby grants to any Participant a
continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually
or constructively held by such Participant as security for the Participant’s
interest in the Advances.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        73

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

                                  
(c) Any
Lender, (i) with the consent of Agent which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and
obligations under or relating to Advances under this Agreement and the Other
Documents to a Permitted Assignee (provided no consent of Agent shall be
required for any sale, assignment or transfer to an Affiliate of any such
Lender) and such Permitted Assignee may commit to make Advances hereunder, and
(ii) with the consent of Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the consent of Borrower, in each case not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part
of its rights and obligations under or relating to Advances under this Agreement
and the Other Documents to one or more Persons who is not a Permitted Assignee
and one or more such Persons may commit to make Advances hereunder (in each
case, a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than $100,000,
pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender,
the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for
recording.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording,
from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such
Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Commitment
Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer
Supplement creating a novation for that purpose.  Such Commitment
Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and
only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender
and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the
purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and
obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other
Documents.  Borrower hereby consents to the addition of such
Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages
arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the
rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the
Other Documents.  Borrower shall execute and deliver such further
documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the
foregoing.

     

    (d) Any
Lender, with the consent of Agent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or any portion
of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances under this
Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity, whether a corporation,
partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that (i) is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and
similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and (ii)
is administered,
serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a
“Purchasing CLO” and together with each Participant and Purchasing Lender, each
a “Transferee” and collectively the “Transferees”), pursuant to a Commitment
Transfer Supplement modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being
assigned (“Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement”), executed by any
intermediate purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the transferor Lender, and Agent as
appropriate and delivered to Agent for recording.  Upon such execution
and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to
such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing CLO thereunder
shall be a

    
      
         

      

      
        74

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    party
hereto and, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer
Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (ii) the
transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Modified
Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement, the Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for
that purpose.  Such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be
deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary
to reflect the addition of such Purchasing CLO.  Borrower hereby
consents to the addition of such Purchasing CLO.  Borrower shall
execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things
in order to effectuate the foregoing.

     

    (e) Agent
shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement and
Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the
“Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and
the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due
hereunder.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the
absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded
therein for the purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be
available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Agent shall receive a
fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender and/or
Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other
than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing
CLO.

     

    (f) Borrower
authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective
Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession
concerning Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender’s credit
evaluation of Borrower.

     

    16.4. 
Application of
Payments.  Subject to the terms of Section 11.5 hereof, Agent
shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any payment and any and
all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations.  To the
extent that Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment
or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower’s benefit, which are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other
party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such
extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by
Agent or such Lender.

     

    16.5. 
Indemnity.  Borrower
shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and each of their respective officers,
directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against Agent or any Lender in any claim, litigation, proceeding
or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or
instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any
transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this
Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Agent or any Lender is a party
thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the party being

     

    
      
         

      

      
        75

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    indemnified
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable judgment).  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever (including fees and disbursements of counsel)
asserted against or incurred by any of the indemnitees described above in this
Section 16.5 by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by
reason of Borrower’s or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws
applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Substances
and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances.  Additionally, if any
taxes (excluding taxes imposed upon or measured solely by the net income of
Agent and Lenders, but including any intangibles taxes, stamp tax, recording tax
or franchise tax) shall be payable by Agent, Lenders or Borrower on account of
the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery,
issuance or recording of any of the Other Documents, or the creation or
repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law
now or hereafter in effect, Borrower will pay (or will promptly reimburse Agent
and Lenders for payment of) all such taxes, including interest and penalties
thereon, and will indemnify and hold the indemnitees described above in this
Section 16.5 harmless from and against all liability in connection
therewith.

     

    16.6. 
Notice.  Any
notice or request hereunder may be given to Borrower or Borrower or to Agent or
any Lender at their respective addresses set forth below or at such other
address as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice of
change of address under this Section.  Any notice, request, demand,

    16.7. 
Survival.  The
obligations of Borrower under Sections 2.2(f), 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.19(h), and 16.5
and the obligations of Lenders under Section 14.7, shall survive termination of
this Agreement and the Other Documents and payment in full of the
Obligations.

     

    16.8. 
Severability.  If
any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid
under Applicable Laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable and
deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the
remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so
far as possible.

     

    16.9. 
Expenses.  All
costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including the allocated
costs of in house counsel) and disbursements incurred by Agent on its behalf or
on behalf of Lenders (a) in all efforts made to enforce payment of any
Obligation or effect collection of any Collateral, or (b) in connection with the
entering into, modification, amendment, administration and enforcement of this
Agreement or any consents or waivers hereunder or thereunder and all related
agreements, documents and instruments, or (c) in instituting, maintaining,
preserving, enforcing and foreclosing on Agent’s security interest in or Lien on
any of the Collateral, or maintaining, preserving or enforcing any of Agent’s or
any Lender’s rights hereunder, and under all related agreements, documents and
instruments, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or (d) in
defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating
to Agent’s or any Lender’s transactions with Borrower, any Guarantor or any
Subordinated Lender or (e) in connection with any advice given to Agent or any
Lender with respect to its rights and obligations under this Agreement and all
related agreements, documents and instruments, may be charged to Borrower’s
Account and shall be part of the Obligations.

     

    16.10. 
Currency
Indemnity.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document,
it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the
“Judgment
Currency”) any amount  due under this Agreement or under any
Other Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then
conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day
before the day on which the

     

    
      
         

      

      
        79

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    judgment
is given.  For this purpose “rate of exchange” means the rate at which
Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the
Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice.  In the
event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the
Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of
receipt by Agent of the amount due, Borrower will, on the date of receipt by
Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive
reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the
amount received by Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency
which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt
by Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such Other Document in
the Currency Due.  If the amount of the Currency Due which Agent is so
able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to
it, Borrower shall indemnify and save Agent and Lenders harmless from and
against all loss or damage arising as a result of such
deficiency.  This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate
and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the
Other Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action,
shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by Agent from time to time
and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or
order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or
any Other Document or under any judgment or order.

     

    16.11. 
Injunctive
Relief.  Borrower recognizes that, in the event Borrower fails
to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under
this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such
obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief
to Lenders; therefore, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be entitled to
temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity
of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

     

    16.12. 
Consequential
Damages.  Neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or
attorney for any of them, shall be liable to Borrower or any Guarantor (or any
Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential
damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the
establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations or as a result of
any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other
Document.

     

    16.13. 
Captions.  The
captions at various places in this Agreement are intended for convenience only
and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this
Agreement.

     

    16.14. 
Counterparts; Facsimile
Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so
executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall
constitute one and the same agreement.  Any signature delivered by a
party by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to be an
original signature hereto.

     

    16.16. 
Construction.  The
parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement
and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are
to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the
interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits
thereto.

     

                    
16.17.  Confidentiality; Sharing
Information.  Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall hold
all non-public information obtained by Agent, such Lender or such Transferee
pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with Agent’s, such
Lender’s and such Transferee’s customary procedures for handling confidential
information of this nature;

    
 

    
      
         

      

      
        80

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    provided,
however, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee may disclose such confidential
information (a) to its examiners, Affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and
other professional advisors, (b) to Agent, any Lender or to any prospective
Transferees, and (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Body or
representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, further that (i)
unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, Agent, each
Lender and each Transferee shall use its reasonable best efforts prior to
disclosure thereof, to notify the Borrower of the applicable request for
disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a Governmental Body or
representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an
examination of the financial condition of a Lender or a Transferee by such
Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii) in no event shall
Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials
furnished by Borrower other than those documents and instruments in possession
of Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral once the
Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has been
terminated.  Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial
advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to
Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or
otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such
Lender and Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information
delivered to such Lender by Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this
Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this
Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being
understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such
information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were
a Lender hereunder.  Such authorization shall survive the repayment of
the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     

                     
16.17.  Publicity.  Borrower
and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to make appropriate announcements of the
financial arrangement entered into among Borrower, Agent and Lenders, including
announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such publications and
to such selected parties as Agent shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem
appropriate; provided, that the contents of such announcements shall be subject
to the prior written consent of JOI which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Each of
the parties has signed this Agreement as of the day and year first above
written.
