(g) Nominal Rates; No Deemed Reinvestment. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for reinvestment or otherwise, before and after maturity, default and judgment. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates. Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.

(h) Interest Paid by Canadian Borrower. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable by the Canadian Borrower under this Agreement exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that Section) under this Agreement lawfully permitted by that Section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that Section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that Section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the Canadian Bor rower and the Canadian Prime Rate Lenders and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to the Canadian Borrower. For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Canadian Prime Rate Lenders will be prima facie evidence of such rate.

SECTION 2.10. Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances. Each Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, Convert all Revolving Credit Advances made to such Borrower denominated in Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be mad e only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances and no Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall result in more separate Revolving Credit Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower requesting such Conversion.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayments of Committed Advances. (a) Optional. Each Borrower may, upon notice at least two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances and Canadian Prime Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Committed Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part (without premium or penalty or additi onal costs other than pursuant to Section 9.04(c)), together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or the Equivalent thereof in a Committed Currency (determined on the date notice of prepayment is given) and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Revolving Credit Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c). Each notice of prepayment by a Designated Subsidiary shall be given to the Agent through the Company.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) If the Agent notifies the Company that, on any interest payment date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the sum of all Advances denominated in Dollars plus the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of the sum of all Advances denominated in Committed Currencies and the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit denominated in Committed Currencies then outstanding exceeds 103% of the Revolving Credit Facility on such date, the Compa ny and each other Borrower shall, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances owing by the Borrowers in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Revolving Credit Facility on such date.

(ii) If the Agent notifies the Company that, on any interest payment date, the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Canadian Prime Rate Advances plus the aggregate Available Amount of all Canadian Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds 103% of the Canadian Prime Rate Facility on such date, the Canadian Borrower shall, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding principal amount of Canadian Prime Rate Advances in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such amount to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Canadian Prime Rate Facility on such date.

(iii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance or a LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Revolving Credit Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(b). The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.11(b) to the Borrowers and the Appropriate Lenders.

(c) Letters of Credit. Each Borrower shall, on the day that is 10 Business Days prior to the final Termination Date, pay to the Agent for deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit Account an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit Account to equal the sum of (a) 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower and

then outstanding denominated in a Committed Currency and (b) 100% of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower and then outstanding denominated in Dollars. Upon the drawing of any such Letter of Credit, to the extent funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks to the extent permitted by applicable law, and if so applied, then such reimbursement shall be deemed a repayment of the corresponding Advance in respect of such Letter of Credit. After all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all other obligations of the Borrowers thereunder shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such L/C Cash Deposit Account shall be promptly returned to the Company or as the Company shall direct.

SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs. (a) If, after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System but excluding w ith respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance any such requirement included in an applicable Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, its Notes or its obligation to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or its obligations to issue or maintain or participate in Letters of Credit and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit , or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) 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 reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into cons ideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) Each Lender will notify the Agent and the Company of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section within the time limitation set forth in Section 9.04(d) and will designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

SECTION 2.13. Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Eurocurrency Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or

impossible for any Lender (or its Eurocurrency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or any Committed Currency or LIBO Rate Advances in Dollars or any Committed Currency hereunder such Lender shall so notify the Agent and the Company, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make such Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent and the Company pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or such LIBO Rate Advance, as the case may be, will automatically, upon such demand, (a) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.08(a)(i), as the case may be and (b) if such Eurocurrency Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in any Committed Currency, be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.08(a)(i), as the case may be.

SECTION 2.14. Payments and Computations. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds, without deduction for any counterclaim or set-off. Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, not later than 12:00 noon (at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency) on the day when due in such Committed Currency to th e Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds, without deduction for any counterclaim or set-off. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, facility fees or Letter of Credit commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.12, 2.15 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.19 or an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.20, and upon the Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date or Extension Date, as the case may be, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days and computations in respect of Competitive Bid Advances shall be made by the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, as specified in the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with market practice), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period fo r which such interest, facility fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, facility fee or Letter of Credit commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the A gent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies.

SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, and any tax imposed by means of withholding to the extent such tax is imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and the taxing jurisdiction (other than solely as a result of this Agreement or the residence of any Borrower), (iv) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed by the United States by means of withholding tax if and to the extent that such taxes shall be in effect and shall be applicable on the date such Lender or the Agent becomes a party to this Agreement to payments made to such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or the Agent and (v) in the case of each Canadian Prime Rate Lender , any taxes that are imposed by Canada with respect to a payment made under this Agreement if such Canadian Prime Rate Lender is a non-resident of Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) other than as a result of a change of law after the date such Canadian Prime Rate Lender became a party to this Agreement (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent, or if the Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or if the Sub-Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum pai d or payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or to the Agent, (i) subject to the provisions below, the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased by such Borrower as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions, whether by such Borrower or the Agent, applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender, the Sub-Agent or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made (for example, and without limitation, if the sum paid or payable hereunder from or in respect of which a Borrower or the Agent shall be required to deduct any Taxes is interest, the interest payable by such Borrower shall be increased by such Borrower as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable), such Lender and the Agent each receive interest equal to the interest they each would have received had no such deduction been made), (ii) such Borrower (or, as the case may be and as required by applicable law, the Agent) shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower (or, as the case may be and as required by applicable law, the Agent) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement (other than an assignment by a Lender pursuant to Section 9.07 unless such assignment is made at the request of the Company) or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (as well as, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed by any

jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, each Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Republic of France, the Kingdom of The Netherlands, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Belgium and Canada or by or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person or a corporation organized under the laws of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Republic of France, the Kingdom of The Netherlands, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Belgium and Canada, if such Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) Except as otherwise provided below, each Lender, (i) on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, (ii) on the date of the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, (iii) upon any change in its Applicable Lending Office, (iv) upon a change in its place of incorporation or a change in its tax classification as a corporate or fiscally transparent entity, (v) upon the addition of any Borrower in a jurisdiction other than those as of the date hereof, and (vi) within 30 days of receipt of any written request by any Borrower, shall provide such Borrower and the Agent with any form or certificate that is required by any taxing authority including, if ap plicable, two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying (if it is the case) that such Lender is exempt from or is entitled to a reduced rate of Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. Thereafter, each such Lender shall provide additional forms or certificates (i) to the extent a form or certificate previously provided has become inaccurate or expired or (ii) as requested in writing by any Borrower or the Agent.

“Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes” means (a) in the case of the Company, CCE and US Holdings, withholding taxes imposed by the United States and (b) in the case of the Canadian Borrower, withholding taxes imposed by Canada.

(f) No additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 with respect to (i) any Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Lender or the Agent to timely provide the applicable Borrower, the Company acting in its capacity as guarantor or any other person with a form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.15(e), or (ii) in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance by a Lender to an Eligible Assignee, any Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that exceed the amount of such Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that are imposed prior to such Assignment and Acceptance, unless such Assignment and Acceptance resulted from the request of the Company; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or certificate required hereunder, each Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request, and at such Lender’s expense, to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes; and provided, further, that should any Borrower be required to pay any amounts under Section 2.15(a) or (c), and such Borrower delivers to each Lender that received such amounts an opinion of counsel that payments to such Lender or the Agent were not in fact subject to Taxes, each Lender (x) shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers, including, but not limited to filing and pursuing a claim of refund in its own name (provided that the applicable Borrower agrees in writing to indemnify and reimburse such Lender for its actual out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such claim for refund), in obtaining a refund of Taxes, and if such Lender receives a refund of Taxes shall promptly pay such Taxes over to the applicable Borrower or (y) in the sole discretion of such Lender, may decline to claim any such refund but shall repay to the Borrowers within 30 days after the delivery of such opinion of counsel the amounts paid in respect of Taxes on payments that such opinion concluded were not in fact subject to Taxes and such Lender shall forgo any indemnification claim against the Borrowers with respect to such amounts.

(g) In the case of a Lender that initially becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an assignment under Section 9.07 or a Lender that undertakes a change in its Applicable Lending Office, a change in its place of incorporation or a change in its tax classification, no additional amounts will be payable by the Borrowers with respect to any Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that exceed the amount of such Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that are imposed prior to such assignment, change in Applicable Lending Office, change in place of incorporation or change in tax classification.

(h) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it will realize by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes to be paid or reimbursed by any Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under this Agreement or the Notes, any current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained but for the payment of such Taxes, such Borrower shall not be required to reimburse such Lender under subsection (a) or (c) above to the extent of such amount, net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender and allocable to securing such refund, deduction or credit; provided, however, that if such Lender subsequently determines that it is not entitled to such current monetary benefit, such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Lender with 30 days of written request by such Lender. If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by any Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under this Agreement or the Notes, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained but for the payment of such Taxes, and that would result in the total payments under this Section 2.15 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender whole, such Lender shall pay to such Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each ca se net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender and allocable to securing such refund, deduction or credit.

(i) Any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 will notify the Agent and the applicable Borrower of such claim within the time limitation set forth in Section 9.04(d) and agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with such Lender’s or the Agent’s (as the case may be) internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office or the office of the Agent (as the case may be) if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be). Each Borrower shall promptly upon request by any Lender or the Agent take all actions (including, without limitation, the completion of forms and the provision of information to the appropriate taxing authorities) reasonably requested by such Lender or the Agent to secure the benefit of any exemption from, or relief with respect to, Taxes or Other Taxes in relation to any amounts payable under this Agreement.

(k) Each Canadian Prime Rate Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Canadian Borrower that it is not a non-resident of Canada for the purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

SECTION 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Committed Advances owing to it (other than (x) as payment of an Advance made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.04(c) or (y) pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.15, 2.22(e) or 9.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of such Committed Advances obtained by all the Appropriate Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Appropriate Lenders such participations in the Committed Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with eac h of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respec t to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.17. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Appropriate Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Committed Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of such Advances. Each Borrower agrees that upon reasonable notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Revolving Credit Note or a Canadian Prime Rate Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) t he Committed Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note or a Canadian Prime Rate Note, as the case may be, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Canadian Prime Rate Commitment of such Lender, provided that if such Lender shall have received a Note under the Existing Credit Agreement, such Lender shall return such Note, marked “Cancelled”, to the applicable Borrower at or prior to the time of delivery of a Note under this Section 2.17.

(b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from such Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from each Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an en try, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement.

(a) At least 45 days but not more than 60 days prior to the first and/or second anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company, by written notice to the Agent, may request an extension of the Termination Date in effect at such time by one year from its then scheduled expiration.

The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than 20 days prior to the applicable anniversary date, notify the Company and the Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Agent and the Company in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the Termination Date at least 20 days prior to the applicable anniversary date, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to such request. The Agent shall notify the Company not later than 15 days prior to the applicable anniversary date of the decision of the Lenders regarding the Company’s request for an extension of the Termination Date.

(b) If all the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable anniversary date (the “Extension Date”), be extended for one year; provided that on each Extension Date the applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied. If less than all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable Extension Date and subject to subsect ion (d) of this Section 2.20, be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each a “Consenting Lender”) but shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”). To the extent that the Termination Date is not extended as to any Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20 and the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender is not assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.20 on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment(s) of such Non-Consenting Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on such unextended Termination Date without any further notice or other action by the Company, such Lender or any other Person; provided that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.12, 2.15 and 9.04, and its obl igations under Section 8.05, shall survive the Termination Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date. It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Company for any requested extension of the Termination Date.

(c) If less than all of the Lenders consent to any such request pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, the Agent shall promptly so notify the Consenting Lenders, and each Consenting Lender may, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Agent not later than 10 days prior to the Extension Date of the amount of the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments for which it is willing to accept an assignment. If the Consenting Lenders notify the Agent that they are willing to accept assignments of Commitments in an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the Commitments of the Non-Consenting Lenders, such Commitments shall be allocated among the Consenting Lenders willing to accept such assignments in such amounts as are agreed between th e Company and the Agent. If after giving effect to the assignments of Commitments described above there remains any Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders, the Company may arrange for one or more Consenting Lenders or other Eligible Assignees as Assuming Lenders to assume, effective as of the Extension Date, any Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment and all of the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Consenting Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than $20,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender is less than $20,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and provided further that:

(i) any such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid to such Non-Consenting Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on, the outstanding Advances, if any, of such Non-Consenting Lender plus (B) any accrued but unpaid facility fees owing to such Non-Consenting Lender as of the effective date of such assignment;

(ii) all additional costs reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities payable to such Non-Consenting Lender, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment shall have been paid to such Non-Consenting Lender; and

(iii) with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and recordation fee required under Section 9.07(a) for such assignment shall have been paid;

provided further that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.12, 2.15 and 9.04, and its obligations under Section 8.05, shall survive such substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution. At least three Business Days prior to any Extension Date, (A) each such Assuming Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the Company and the Agent an Assumption Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Non-Consenting Lender, the Company and the Agent, (B) any such Consenting Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Company and the Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment and (C) each Non-Consenting Lende r being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall have delivered to the Agent any Note or Notes held by such Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, each such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender, as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of each such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.

(d) If (after giving effect to any assignments or assumptions pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.20) Lenders having Revolving Credit Commitments equal to at least 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Extension Date consent in writing to a requested extension (whether by execution or delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) not later than one Business Day prior to such Extension Date, the Agent shall so notify the Company, and, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions in Article III, the Termination Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional one-year period as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.20, and all references in this Agreement, and in the Notes, if any, to the “Termination Date” shall, with respect to each Consenting Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to the Termination Date as so extended. Promptly following each Extension Date, the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the scheduled Termination Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each such Consenting Lender and each such Assuming Lender.

SECTION 2.21. Regulation D Compensation. Each Lender that is subject to reserve requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) may require the applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Eurocurrency Rate Advances and LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, additional interest on the related Eurocurrency Rate Advances and LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, of such Lender at the rate per annum equal to the excess of (i) (A) the applicable Eurocurrency Rate or LIBO Rate, as the case may be, divided by (B) one minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage over (ii) the rate specified in clause (i)(A). Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Agent and the applicable Borrower, in which case such additional interest on the Eurocurrency Rate Advances and LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least five Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify the Agent and the applicable Borrower at least five Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the amount then due it under this Section.

SECTION 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. (a) If any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and the Commitments have not been terminated in accordance with Section 6.01, then:

(i) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any part of the Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Appropriate Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders (“non-Defaulting Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares (disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and Canadian Prime Rate Commitment) but only to the extent that the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Committed Advances made by such non-Defaulting Lenders (in the ir capacity as Lenders) and outstanding at such time, plus (B) such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Shares (before giving effect to the reallocation contemplated herein) of the Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus (C) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances made by each Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(c) that have not been ratably funded by such non-Defaulting Lenders and outstanding at such time, plus (D) such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit, does not exceed the

total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments or Canadian Prime Rate Commitments, as the case may be.

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by any Issuing Bank, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) by paying cash collateral to such Issuing Bank; provided that, so long as no Default shall be continuing, such cash col lateral shall be released promptly upon the earliest of (A) the reallocation of the Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with clause (i) above, (B) the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender or (C) such Issuing Bank’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral (in which case, the amount equal to such excess cash collateral shall be released);

(iii) if the Ratable Shares of Letters of Credit of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.22(a), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Shares of Letters of Credit; or

(iv) if any Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of Letters of Credit is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.22(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.05(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of Letters of Credit shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Share of Letters of Credit is cash collateralized and/or reallocated.

(b) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments or Canadian Prime Rate Commitments, as the case may be, of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.22(a), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2 .22(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(c) No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.22, performance by the Borrowers of their obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.22. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.22 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrowers, the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(d) If the Borrowers, the Agent and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Committed Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Share (without giving effect to Section 22.2(a)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit commissions or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the

payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Committed Advances under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Article III were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender and provided further that any amounts held as cash collateral for funding obligations of a Defaulting Lender shall be returned to such Defaulting Lender upon the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction of such Defaulting Lender’s obligations hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amou nts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
