PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

On August 3, 2009 (the “Petition Date”), Holdings, the U.S. Borrower, U.S. Finco and each U.S. Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower (collectively, the “U.S. Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) initiating their respective cases under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the cases of Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the U.S. Subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower, each a “U.S. Case” and collectively, the “U.S. Cases”) and continue in the possession of their assets and in the management of their business pursuant to Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On August 4, 2009, the Canadian Borrower commenced proceedings (the “Canadian Case”; together with the U.S. Cases, the “Cases”) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Canadian Court”) pursuant to Canada’s Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36 (the “CCAA”).

The Borrowers (as defined below) have requested that the Lenders provide them with (i) a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed U.S.$175,000,000 (the “Initial Facility”) and (ii) the ability to incur a single draw incremental term loan facility, which is uncommitted on the date hereof, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed U.S.$25,000,000 (the “Incremental Facility”; together with the Initial Facility, the “DIP Facility”). The Lenders are willing to make loans to the Borrowers on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

On or about the Petition Date: (1) the Bankruptcy Court will enter the Interim Order (as defined below) approving on an interim basis the DIP Facility (and the Bankruptcy Court subsequently shall enter the Final Order), and providing inter alia, that (i) in the U.S. Cases the obligations under the DIP Facility shall constitute allowed senior administrative expense claims against the U.S. Debtors with priority over any and all administrative expenses, adequate protection claims, dimunition claims and all other claims against the U.S. Debtors, now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind whatsoever, and (ii) the obligations of the U.S. Debtors under

the DIP Facility shall be secured by fully perfected security interests in and Liens upon all pre-and post-petition assets of the U.S. Debtors and certain other non-Debtor Subsidiaries of Holdings, whether existing on the Interim Order Entry Date or thereafter acquired, including any cash and any investments of such cash, inventory, accounts receivable, other rights to payment whether arising before or after the Interim Order Entry Date, contracts, properties, plants, equipment, general intangibles, documents, instruments, interest in leaseholds, real properties, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, other intellectual property, equity interests, and the proceeds of all of the foregoing and, in the U.S. Cases, subject only to and effective upon entry of the Final Order (and the limitations set forth therein), the Avoidance Actions and (2) the Canadian Court will grant the Initial Order (as defined below), approving the DIP Facility to the Canadian Borrower and providing, inter alia, that the obligations of the Canadian Debtor shall be secured by a first-ranking court ordered DIP Lenders’ Charge over all the property, assets and undertaking of the Canadian Debtor ranking subordinate only to the Administration Charge (as defined below). The respective priorities of the DIP Facility and other parties claiming Liens on all or any part of the Collateral shall be as set forth in the Interim Order and the Initial Order.

All of the claims and the Liens granted in the Orders and in the Security Documents to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in respect of the DIP Facility shall be subject only to the Carve-Out (in the case of the claims against and Liens on Collateral of the U.S. Debtors) and the Administration Charge (in the case of the claims against and Liens on Collateral of the Canadian Debtor).

2.03 Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of Loans hereunder, an Authorized Officer of such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Base Rate Loan and at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Eurodollar Loan, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 12:00 Noon (New York time) on such day. Each such written notice or written confirmation of telephonic notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by or on behalf of the respective Borrower in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, (iv) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, the Borrower thereof, and (v) whether the Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto, which shall be three months. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of each Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, prior to receipt of written confirmation, act without liability upon the basis of any such telephonic notice reasonably believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower. In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive evidence of the contents of such notice, absent manifest error.

2.04 Disbursement of Funds. Not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender with a Commitment under the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts shall be made available in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the respective Borrower at the Payment Office or such other location as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and specified in the relevant Notice of Borrowing the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to such time on such day. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower to pay immediately such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent and such Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the relevant Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the

respective Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate and (ii) if recovered from the respective Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the relevant Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

2.05 Notes. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(g), the Borrowers’ obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced (i) if Tranche A Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Tranche A Term Note” and, collectively, the “Tranche A Term Notes”), (ii) if Tranche B Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Canadian Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Tranche B Term Note” and, collectively, the “Tranche B Term Notes”), (iii) if Tranche C Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Additional Foreign Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Tranche C Term Note” and, collectively, the “Tranche C Term Notes”) and (iv) if Incremental Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Incremental Term Loan Borrower for such Tranche substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, an “Incremental Term Note” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Notes”).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders that at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to each Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the respective Borrower to pay the

Any Lender that does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (f). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the relevant Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note or Notes in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (or the date of any conversion thereto from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period relating to a Eurodollar Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing under a given Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans;

(vi) no Interest Period may be elected at any time an Event of Default is then in existence if the Administrative Agent (on the behalf of the Required Lenders) has given notice to the U.S. Borrower that no Interest Period may be elected while such Event of Default is continuing; and

(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Term Loans shall be elected which extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled Repayment for the respective Tranche of Term Loans will be required to be made under Section 5.02(b), if, after giving effect to the election of such Interest Period, the aggregate principal amount under such Tranche of Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount under such Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required Scheduled Repayment.

2.10 Increased Costs; Illegality; etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clauses (i) and (iv) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loans because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payments to a Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located), or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances affecting such Lender, the applicable interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market (whether or not such Lender was a Lender at the time of such occurrence); or

(iii) at any time after the Effective Date, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or would conflict with any governmental rule, regulation, guideline, request or order not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the applicable interbank market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the affected Borrower, and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, in the event Eurodollar Loans are so affected, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings, any affected Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by each Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.24 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (with the written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, submitted to the respective Borrower or Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the foregoing to be, absent manifest error, final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the respective Borrower’s or Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice), and (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the affected Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially (or pursuant to a conversion), cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by applicable law); provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender shall have determined after the Effective Date that the adoption or effectiveness after the Effective Date of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change after the Effective Date 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 such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender 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 or such other corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitment or Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder to each Borrower to a level below that which such Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such other corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the notice referred to in the next succeeding sentence of this clause (c), such Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.24 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other corporation for such reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the relevant Borrower (a copy of which shall be sent by such Lender to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall set forth such Lender’s basis for asserting its rights under this Section 2.10(c) and the calculation, in reasonable detail, of such additional amounts claimed hereunder, although (subject to the provisions of Section 13.24 (to the extent applicable)) the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish such Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. A Lender’s good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

2.11 Compensation. Each Borrower severally agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.24 (to the extent applicable), to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding

any loss of anticipated profit) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or any Agent) a Borrowing of, or a conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by such Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Sections 5.01 or 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 5.01) or conversion or realignment of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrower or Borrowers; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by such Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b). Each Lender’s calculation of the amount of compensation owing pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made in good faith. A Lender’s basis for requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 and a Lender’s calculation of the amount thereof, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.12 Change of Lending Office. (a) Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule 2.12(a), one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Loans made by such Lender; provided that, for designations made after the Effective Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Sections 2.10 or 5.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although if such designation results in increased costs, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the costs which would have applied in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).

(b) Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower by notice to such Lender, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of each Borrower or the rights of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10 and 5.04.

2.13 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to each Borrower increased costs materially in excess of the average costs being charged by the other Lenders in respect of such contingency, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with the requirements of Section 13.04(b), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more Eligible Transferees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement and each of whom shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and all then outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum (in the relevant currency or currencies) of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all then outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11 shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.17 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender (when applicable), delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the respective Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. In connection with any replacement of Lenders pursuant to, and as contemplated by, this Section 2.13, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Holdings to take all necessary action, in the name of such Borrower as described above in this Section 2.13 in order to effect the replacement of the respective Lender or Lenders in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 2.13.

2.14 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.15 Incremental Term Loan Commitments. (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, each Borrower shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.15, and with the consent of the Required Lenders, to request at one time after the Initial Borrowing Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to such Borrower and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by such Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.15, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Term Loans, (ii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be made available to a single Borrower and shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars,

(iii) the amount of Incremental Term Loan Commitments made available pursuant to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment thereunder (including Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) of U.S.$10,000,000, (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.15 on and after the Effective Date shall not exceed U.S.$25,000,000, (v) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans), unless the requirements of Section 2.15(c) are satisfied), (vi) if to be incurred as a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall have the same terms as each other Tranche of Term Loans as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement, except as to purpose and mandatory repayment application provisions (which are governed by Section 5.02); provided, however, that (I) the maturity and amortization of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may differ, so long as such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (a) an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of no earlier than the Maturity Date and (b) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Tranche A Term Loans and (II) the “interest rate” for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans as of the Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date therefor (which, for such purposes only, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the life of such Incremental Term Loans) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans) may exceed the “interest rate” then applicable to the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche C Term Loans, in the case of a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (as such “interest rate” shall have been determined by the Administrative Agent on the same basis provided in the immediately preceding parenthetical) if the Applicable Margin for the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche C Term Loans is increased to the Applicable Increased Term Loan Rate for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, (vii) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) incurred by a given Incremental Term Loan Borrower shall be Obligations of such Incremental Term Loan Borrower under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the relevant Security Agreements, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Loans secured by each such Security Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty and (viii) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 2.01(d) and such Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit O (appropriately completed), with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date on which (w) a

fully executed copy of the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (x) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to the Administrative Agent), (y) all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied, and (z) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 shall have been satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) Schedule 1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Incremental Term Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (ii) to the extent requested by any Incremental Term Loan Lender, Incremental Term Notes will be issued at the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower’s expense, to such Incremental Term Loan Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect the new Incremental Term Loans made by such Incremental Term Loan Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.15, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement (with a designation which may be made in letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.), numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or a combination thereof (i.e., A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2, etc.), provided that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may specify therein that the respective Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Tranche of Term Loans, in any case so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Borrower, the same Maturity Date, the same Applicable Margins and the same currency denomination as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added;

(ii) the new Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Scheduled Repayment dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added with the amount of each Scheduled Repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same on a proportionate basis as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche proportionately; and

(iii) on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.09, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender under the respective holding Tranche of Term Loans participates in each outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the respective Tranche (after giving effect to the incurrence of such new Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(d)) on a pro rata basis.

To the extent the provisions of preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans of such Tranche, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period, then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Loans of such Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). In connection therewith, it is hereby agreed that, to the extent the Incremental Term Loans are to be so added to the then outstanding Borrowings of Term Loans of such Tranche which are maintained as Eurodollar Loans, the Lenders that have made such Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to receive from the U.S. Borrower such amounts, as reasonably determined by the respective Lenders, to compensate them for funding the new Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche during an existing Interest Period (rather than at the beginning of the respective Interest Period based upon rates then applicable thereto). All determinations by any Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

SECTION 3. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 4. Fees; Commitments.

(d) an extension fee, payable by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the date of the extension of the Maturity Date as described in the definition of “Maturity Date”, in an amount equal to 1.00% multiplied by the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Lender plus the aggregate amount of the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments, Tranche B Term Loan Commitments, Tranche C Term Loan Commitments and, if applicable, Incremental Term Loan Commitments, in each case of such Lender immediately after to giving effect to such extension; and

(e) such other fees, to each Agent, for its own account, as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrowers and such Agent.

(b) In addition, upon each Borrowing of Loans of any Tranche under Section 2.01 hereof, the aggregate Commitments of such Tranche shall be reduced by the principal amount of Loans of such Tranche included in such Borrowing.

(c) Upon the execution and delivery of the Additional Foreign Borrower Designation Agreement, (i) the Total Tranche A Term Loan Commitment shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the Total Tranche C Term Loan Commitment specified therein to reduce the Total Tranche A Term Loan Commitment and (ii) the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitment shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the Total Tranche C Term Loan Commitment specified therein to reduce the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitment.

(d) Each reduction to the Total Tranche A Term Loan Commitment, the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, the Total Tranche C Term Loan Commitment and the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment under a given Tranche pursuant to this Section 4.03 as provided above shall be applied proportionately to reduce the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment, the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, the Tranche C Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loan Commitment under such Tranche, as the case may be, of each Lender with such a Commitment.

(e) Each termination or reduction of the Total Tranche A Term Loan Commitment, the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, the Total Tranche C Term Loan Commitment and the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment under a given Tranche and the Total Commitment shall be permanent.

Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the net income, capital, or net profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein and (ii) any U.S. withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Lender with respect to any such payments of the U.S. Borrower at the time such Lender becomes party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the U.S. Borrower with respect to such withholding taxes pursuant to this paragraph 5.04(a)) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the respective Borrower (or other Credit Party making the payment) shall, subject to the limitations with respect to the application of this Section 5.04 set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.12(a) and in the penultimate sentence of Section 13.04(b), pay the full amount of such Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Authority, and shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. The respective Borrower (or Credit Party) will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date of the payment of any Taxes due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts or, to the extent such tax receipts are not customarily provided by the relevant Governmental Authority, other evidence of payment of such Tax reasonably acceptable to the Lender, evidencing such payment by such Borrower (or the respective other Credit Party). The Credit Agreement Parties jointly and severally agree (and each Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its respective Subsidiary Guaranty, and the incorporation by reference therein of the provisions of this Section 5.04, shall agree) to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes levied or imposed on and paid by such Lender.

(b) Each Lender that is a Lender to the U.S. Borrower and that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is a Lender to the U.S. Borrower and that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 13.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D appropriately completed (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States

withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender that is a Lender to the U.S. Borrower agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b); provided, however, in the event that the Lender cannot deliver any Form or Certificate which certifies to such Lender’s complete exemption from United States withholding tax as of such date, the U.S. Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) to gross-up payments to be made to such Lender in respect of United States withholding taxes except to the extent that the Lender’s inability to provide the Form or Certificate is directly as a result of changes, after the date the Lender became a party to this Agreement, in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of such United States withholding taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.04(a), but subject to Section 13.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the U.S. Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable by the U.S. Borrower hereunder for the account of any Lender that is a Lender to the U.S. Borrower and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (including, without limitation, United States withholding taxes) if (I) such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 5.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence (x) from amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender under Section 2.01(e), but only if and to the extent the amounts deducted or withheld exceed the amounts that would have been deducted or withheld if the amounts payable to such Lender under Section 2.01(e) were instead payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to interest payments on a Tranche A Term Loan or a Tranche B Term Loan, as applicable, or (y) as a result of any changes after the Effective Date (or, if later, after the date such Lender became party to this Agreement) in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar taxes.

(c) If any Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 5.04 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole good faith discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to such Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole good faith discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole good faith discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to such Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which such Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 5.04 without any exclusions or defenses; (iii) nothing in this Section 5.04(c) shall require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to such Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns); and (iv) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) at any time which a Default or Event of Default exists.

(d) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file any certificate or document or to furnish to the Non-U.S. Borrower any information, in each case, as reasonably requested by the Non-U.S. Borrower that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any Taxes; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.04(c) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).

(b) Except to the extent that a breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements in this Section 8.10(b) could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, (x) each Canadian Welfare Plan has been maintained and is in compliance with the terms thereof and all applicable Requirements of Law including, without limitation, all requirements relating to employee participation, funding, investment of funds, benefits and transactions with the Credit Parties and persons related to them and (y) with respect to Canadian Pension Plans: (i) no steps have been taken to terminate any Canadian Pension Plan (wholly or in part) which could result in any Credit Party being required to make any additional contribution to the Canadian Pension Plan; (ii) no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Canadian Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien under any applicable pension benefits laws of any jurisdiction; (iii) no condition exists and no event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Canadian Pension Plan which is reasonably likely to result in any Credit Party incurring any material liability, fine or penalty; (iv) no Credit Party has a material contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement benefit under a Canadian Welfare Plan; (v) each Canadian Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable pension benefits laws and laws in respect to Taxes; (vi) all contributions (including, employee contributions made by authorized payroll deductions or other withholdings) required to be made in respect of each Canadian Pension Plan as determined in the most recently completed and filed actuarial valuation report have been made in accordance with all Requirements of Law and the terms of each Canadian Pension Plan; (vii) all required special payments, if any, have been made in accordance with Requirements of Law and the most recent actuarial report filed therefor; and (viii) no event has occurred and no conditions exist with respect to any Canadian Pension Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in any Canadian Pension Plan (A) having its registration revoked or refused or (B) being subject to an involuntary winding-up (either in whole or in part) by any relevant pension benefits regulatory authority and no Taxes or penalties under any applicable pension benefits laws or laws in respect to Taxes are owing or eligible.

(c) Except to the extent that a breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements in this Section 8.10(c) could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, (w) each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained and administered in a timely manner in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing (including, without limitation, maintaining registered status) with applicable regulatory or other Governmental Authorities, (x) all contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made, (y) none of the Credit Parties nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Foreign Pension Plan, and

(z) the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Credit Party’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

8.11 Disclosure. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided that, with respect to projected financial information, each Credit Agreement Party represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time delivered and, if such projected financial information was delivered prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, as of the Initial Borrowing Date.

As of the Initial Borrowing Date, all premiums due and payable in respect of such insurance have been paid. Each Credit Agreement Party reasonably believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of each Credit Agreement Party and each of its Subsidiaries is adequate.

8.14 Labor Matters. As of the Initial Borrowing Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Agreement Party, threatened.

For greater certainty, no Canadian Credit Party may change its jurisdiction of incorporation and become an unlimited liability company in such jurisdiction. Each Credit Agreement Party agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless any new documentation is executed by any Credit Party (including, without limitation, a movable hypothec under any applicable laws of Canada or province or territory thereof) and all filings have been made under the UCC, the PPSA, The Register of Personal and Movable Real Rights or otherwise that are required, in each case, in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral.

9.05 Payment of Taxes. Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay its liabilities for taxes (other than the tax liabilities arising prior to the Petition Date), before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and such Credit Agreement Party or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with U.S. GAAP, (b) such contest effectively suspends collection of the contested obligation and the enforcement of any Lien securing such obligation and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

9.06 Maintenance of Properties. Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

9.07 Insurance.

(c) If any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to maintain insurance in accordance with this Section 9.07, or if any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to so endorse and deposit all policies or certificates with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation) to procure such insurance and the Credit Agreement Parties jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses of procuring such insurance.

9.08 Casualty and Condemnation. The U.S. Borrower (a) will furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prompt written notice of any casualty or other insured damage to any material portion of the Collateral or the commencement of any action or proceeding for the taking of any material portion of the Collateral or interest therein under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding and (b) will ensure that the net proceeds of any such event (whether in the form of insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or otherwise) are collected and applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

9.09 Books and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and account in accordance with U.S. GAAP, consistently applied, and in accordance with the internal controls of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries.

Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing or if the Administrative Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there exist violations of Environmental Laws by any Credit Agreement Party or that there exist any Environmental Liability, in each case, that would have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, then each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, promptly upon receipt of request from the Administrative Agent, allow a reputable environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and its representatives, access to such real property for the purpose of conducting such environmental audits and assessments, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and cause the preparation of such reports, in each case as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. Such audits, assessments and reports, shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders.

9.10 Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all Requirements of Law, including Environmental Laws, applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

9.11 Use of Proceeds. (a) Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Loans solely (x) for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes (including to pay administration costs of any U.S. Cases and the Canadian Cases and claims or amounts approved by the Bankruptcy Court or the Canadian Court) of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and (y) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction.

(b) No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of the Margin Regulations.

9.12 Additional Subsidiaries. If any additional SPE Subsidiary of Holdings is formed or acquired after the Initial Borrowing Date, the U.S. Borrower will, promptly after such Subsidiary is formed or acquired, notify the Collateral Agent and the Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) thereof and, upon the consummation of the Permitted Securitization to which such SPE Subsidiary relates, cause the Equity Interests of such new Subsidiary to be pledged pursuant to, and to the extent required by, the relevant Security Document and the certificates, if any, representing such Equity Interests, together with appropriate transfer powers duly executed in blank, to be delivered to the Collateral Agent.

9.13 Further Assurances. (a) Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, grant to the Collateral Agent security interests and mortgages in such assets and Real Property of such Credit Agreement Party and such Credit Party which are of the type required to be pledged, assigned or hypothecated pursuant to the original Security Documents and as are not covered by such original Security Documents, in each case to the extent requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (collectively, the “Additional Security Documents”). All such security interests and mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable perfected security interests, hypothecations and mortgages superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and enforceable as against third parties and subject to no other Liens except for Permitted Liens or, in the case of Real Property, the Permitted Encumbrances described in clauses (a), (b) and (f) of the definition thereof and other matters of title shown on the title report prepared by the applicable title company and acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Additional Security Documents or instruments related thereto shall have been duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Security Documents and all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Section 9.13(a) shall not apply to (and Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to grant a mortgage in) any Real Property the fair market value of which (as determined in good faith by senior management of Holdings) is less than U.S.$5,000,000 and (ii) the foregoing requirements shall not require the creation or perfection of pledges of or security interests in particular assets of the Credit Parties if and for so long as, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with Holdings, reasonably determines that the cost of creating or perfecting such pledges or security interests in such assets (taking into account any adverse tax consequences to Holdings and its Affiliates (including the imposition of withholding or other material taxes on Lenders)) shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom.

(b) Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at the expense of such Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real property surveys, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require (including any of the foregoing required for each Credit Agreement Party to comply with Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement). Furthermore, each Credit Agreement Party shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, title insurance and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to assure itself that this Section 9.13 has been complied with. Each Credit Agreement Party also agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent, from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

(c) Each Credit Agreement Party agrees that each action required above by this Section 9.13 shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 30 days after such action is either requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders or required to be taken by the Credit Agreement Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.13 (or such later date as shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion in any given case); provided that in no event will any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries be required to take any action, other than using its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain consents from third parties with respect to its compliance with this Section 9.13.

SECTION 12. The Agents.

12.01 Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints DBTCA as Administrative Agent for such Lender (as used hereinafter for purposes of this Section 12, the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean DBTCA in its capacities as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent hereunder and pursuant to the Security Documents and the term “Agent” shall include the term “Administrative Agent” as so defined), (b) Banc of America Securities LLC, General Electric Capital Corporation and UBS Securities LLC as Co-Syndication Agents for such Lender, (c) Banc of America Securities LLC and UBS Securities LLC as Co-Arrangers for such Lender, and (d) DBTCA as Documentation Agent for such Lender, each to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent, each Co-Syndication Agent, each Co-Arranger and the Documentation Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder or thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent, such Co-Syndication Agent, each Co-Arranger or the Documentation Agent, as the case may be, by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Agents may perform any of their respective duties under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates (it being understood and agreed, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of its affiliates).

(b) The provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Arrangers, the Documentation Agent and the Lenders, and neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Arrangers and the Documentation Agent shall act solely as agent for the Lenders, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Arrangers or the Documentation Agent assumes (and shall not be deemed to have assumed) any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

12.02 Nature of Duties. (a) No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees, representatives or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in

113

connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; no Agent shall have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Arrangers is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Joint Lead Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Arrangers shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of “Agents” as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 12.07 and 13.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Arrangers shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

12.03 Certain Rights of the Agents. The Agents shall have the right to request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time. If any Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent or any of its employees, directors, officers, agents, representatives or affiliates as a result of such Agent or such other person acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

12.04 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected (and shall have no liability to any Person) in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, facsimile, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order, telephone message or other document or conversation that such Agent believed, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by such Agent (which may be counsel for the Credit Parties) and, with respect to other matters, upon advice of independent public accountants or other experts, consultants or specialists selected by it.

12.05 Notice of Default, etc. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has actually received written notice from a Lender or a Credit Agreement Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be

114

reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

12.06 Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Independently and without reliance upon any Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. No Agent or their respective affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, agents or employees shall be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for, or be required or have any duty to ascertain, inquire or verify the accuracy of, (i) any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, (ii) the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iii) the financial condition of Holdings and any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6 or 7, or (vi) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

12.07 Indemnification. (a) To the extent any Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Credit Agreement Parties, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its respective duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, claims, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Credit Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Credit Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

115

12.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. With respect to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, each Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender”, “Required Lenders”, “Supermajority Lenders”, “Majority Lenders”, “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to, any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

12.09 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

(d) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to appoint a collateral agent, security trustee, trustee or Person serving in a similar capacity, including an Affiliate of the Collateral Agent, in such foreign jurisdiction and authorize such collateral agent, security trustee, trustee or Person serving in a similar capacity to enter into any Foreign Security Documents governed by the laws of such jurisdiction for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors.

118

(ii) The Collateral Agent accepts its appointment as a trustee (Treuhaender), agent and administrator of the German Security on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement.

(iii) The Secured Creditors agree that, in relation to the German Security, no Secured Creditor shall exercise any independent power to enforce any German Security or take any other action in relation to the enforcement of the German Security, or make or receive any declarations in relation thereto; and

(i) hold and administer any German Security which is security assigned or otherwise transferred (Sicherungsübereignung/Sicherungsabtretung) under German law under a non-accessory security right (nicht akzessorische Sicherheit) to it as a trustee (Treuhaender) for the benefit of the Secured Creditors; and

(ii) administer any German Security which is pledged under German law (Verpfaendung) or otherwise transferred in accordance with German law to any of the Secured Creditors under an accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit),

where “German Security” means the assets the subject of a security document which is governed by German Law. Each Secured Creditor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to accept, as its representative (Stellvertreter), any German Security created in favor of such Secured Creditor.

The Collateral Agent shall further be entitled to rescind, amend and/or execute new and different documents securing the German Security. The Collateral Agent is released from the restrictions arising under Clause 181 of the German Civil Code (Buergerliches Gesetzbuch) (restrictions on self-dealing).

12.14 Special Appointment of Collateral Agent (French Security Documents). (a) Each of Secured Creditors (as such defined below) as “mandants” under French law:

(i) hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent to act as its agent (“mandataire” under French law) under and in connection with the French Security Documents (as such term is defined below); and

(ii) irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute for and on its behalf the French Security Documents (as such term is defined below) and to perform the duties and to exercise the rights, powers and discretions that are specifically delegated to it under or in connection with the French Security Documents (as such term is defined below), together with any other rights, powers and discretions which are incidental thereto and to give a good discharge for any moneys payable under the French Security Documents (as such term is defined below).

119

For purposes of this Section 12.14, “French Security Documents” means those Security Documents stated to be governed by the laws of France and reference to “Secured Creditors” shall be construed as a reference to such Secured Creditors as defined in the French Security Documents.

(b) The Collateral Agent will act solely for itself and as agent for the other Secured Creditors in carrying out its functions as agent under the French Security Documents.

(c) The relationship between the Secured Creditors (other than the Collateral Agent) on the one hand and the Collateral Agent on the other is that of principal (“mandant” under French law) and agent (“mandataire” under French law) only. The Collateral Agent shall not have, nor be deemed to have, assumed any obligations to, or trust or fiduciary relationship with, any party to this Agreement other than those for which specific provision is made by the French Security Documents and, to the extent permissible under French law, the other provisions of this Agreement, which shall be deemed to be incorporated in this Section 12.14, where reference is made to any French Security Documents.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 13.08 (Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue) of this Agreement, the provision of this Section 12.14 and the other provisions of this Agreement which are deemed to be incorporated in this Section 12.14 as stated in paragraph (c) above, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, French law and any dispute arising out of this Section 12.14 shall be submitted to the Commercial Court of Paris (Tribunal de Commerce de Paris).

(e) The Secured Creditors, the Collateral Agent and the other parties hereto which are also party to any French Security Document irrevocably acknowledge that the existence and extent of the Collateral Agent’s authority resulting from this Section 12.14 and the effects of the Collateral Agent’s exercise of this authority shall be governed by French law.

12.15 Special Appointment of Collateral Agent (Dutch Security Documents).

(a) Each Credit Agreement Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance (bij voorbaat)) to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by that Credit Agreement Party to any Secured Creditor under any Credit Document as and when those amounts are due.

(b) Each Credit Agreement Party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors acknowledge that the obligations of each Credit Agreement Party under Section 12.15(a) are several and are separate and independent (eigen zelfstandige verplichtingen) from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of that Credit Agreement Party to any Secured Creditor under any Credit Document (its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Credit Agreement Party is liable under Section 12.15(a) (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that:

(i) the Parallel Debt of each Credit Agreement Party shall be decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and

120

(ii) the Corresponding Debt of each Credit Agreement Party shall be decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and

(iii) the amount of the Parallel Debt of each Credit Agreement Party shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Corresponding Debt.

(c) For the purpose of this Section 12.15, the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent, representative or trustee of any other Secured Creditor, and its claims in respect of each Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust.

(d) The security granted under the Security Documents to the Collateral Agent to secure each Parallel Debt is granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of each Parallel Debt.

(e) All monies received or recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12.15, and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure each Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with Section 7.14 of the U.S. Security Agreement.

(f) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the Credit Agreement Parties (whether under this Section 12.15 or under any other provision of the Credit Documents), each Credit Agreement Party acknowledges that:

(i) nothing in this Section 12.15 shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent to advance any sum to any Credit Agreement Party or otherwise under any Credit Document, except in its capacity as Lender; and

(ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Credit Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Lender.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt (i) the Parallel Debt of each Credit Agreement Party will become due and payable (opeisbaar) at the same time its Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable and (ii) without prejudice to Section 12.15, a Credit Agreement Party may not repay or prepay its Parallel Debt unless directed to do so by the Collateral Agent or the Collateral is enforced by the Collateral Agent.

124

13.03 Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier or facsimile communication) and mailed, telecopied or delivered: if to any Credit Agreement Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule 2.12(a); and if to the Administrative Agent, at its Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Agreement Party or any of the Agents, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to Holdings and the Administrative Agent.

In each such case, each Credit Agreement Party hereby waives the right to dispute such Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice.

13.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, no Credit Agreement Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may (without the consent of any Credit Party) transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments or Loans hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or of a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07 shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or Fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Agreement Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Obligations in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

125

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may:

(x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company, (ii) one or more Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(ii)), or (iii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor of a Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor; or

(y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least U.S.$1,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating (I) any fund that invests in loans and (II) any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement;

provided that (i) each assignment of Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans, Tranche A Term Loan Commitments, Tranche B Term Loan Commitments, or Tranche C Term Loan Commitments (and the Obligations associated with all such Loans and Commitments) may only be made as part of an assignment by such assigning Lender of a pro rata portion of (x) all such Loans and Commitments then held by it and (y) all of its rights and obligations under Section 2.01(e), (ii) at the time of such assignment Schedule 1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (iii) new Notes will be issued, at the respective Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, as the case may be, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of the affected Tranche, (iv) except in the case of assignments by the Agents in connection with their syndication of this Agreement, the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and is continuing, the U.S. Borrower shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 13.04(b) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (v) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of U.S.$3,500 (other than with respect to such assignments from an assigning Lender to its Affiliate) and (vi) such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.17. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this

126

Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b)(ii) to the extent such forms would provide a complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, for the purpose of perfecting and enforcing certain security interests purported and intended to be created by the Brazilian Security Documents, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent an executed power of attorney in favor of the Brazilian Collateral Agent. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Sections 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank or other foreign Governmental Authority in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or other foreign Governmental Authority and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Credit Agreement Party), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans or Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent or to another creditor providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of, or any other representative of a holder of, such obligations, or such other creditor, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Credit Party and any Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

127

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans of any Tranche or other Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the principal of, or interest on, the Loans of such Tranche or other Fees then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligations then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto), provided that (i) if the U.S. Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the U.S. Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in U.S. GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the U.S. Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in U.S. GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of U.S. GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith and (iii) for purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in Sections 9 and/or 10, any amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a currency other than U.S. Dollars) shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate U.S. Dollar limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of U.S. Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than U.S. Dollars shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence or expenditures made under any provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time).

(b) All computations of interest (other than interest based on the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Lending Rate), and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable. All computations of interest based on the Prime Lending Rate and clause (x) of the definition of Base Rate shall be based on a year of 365 days.

128

(c) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such annual rate is to be ascertained, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment or interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(d) If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents would obligate any Credit Party to make any payment of interest with respect to the Obligations or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” with respect to the Obligations at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates 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 so result in a receipt by that Lender of interest with respect to the Obligations at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under Section 2.08; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any charges, fees, commissions, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute “interest” with respect to the Obligations for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to Canadian Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest on the Obligations referred to in this Section 13.07(d) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan or Loans remain outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees, commissions, expenses, premiums and other amounts that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Initial Borrowing Date to the applicable Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent shall cease to be available to act as such, the Canadian Borrower agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in New York City on the terms and for the purposes of this provision reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(d) Each Credit Agreement Party hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such Credit Agreement Party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such Credit Agreement Party. Each Credit Agreement Party further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Credit Agreement Party, as the case may be, at its address for notices pursuant to Section 13.03, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing. Each Credit Agreement Party hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other Credit Document that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective.

(e) Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Credit Agreement Party in any other jurisdiction.

130

(f) SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AND THE CANADIAN COURT AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSES (b)(i) AND (ii) ABOVE, EACH CREDIT AGREEMENT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (b) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 13.12(a), the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall be permitted to enter into such amendments and/or modifications (i) as specified in Section 6.26(c) and (ii) to the Foreign Security Documents which may be required in the discretion of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent which are of a technical nature and/or are, in the judgment of the Collateral Agent, required by applicable law, in the interests of the Secured Creditors or necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, advisable to preserve, maintain, perfect and/or protect the security interests purported to the granted by the respective Foreign Security Documents.

13.15 Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.15, each of the Lenders agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of any Credit Agreement Party (other than to its affiliates and its and their respective directors, employees, auditors, counsel or other professional advisors, to affiliates or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information) any information with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement; provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.15(a) by the respective Lender, (b) as may be required or appropriate (x) in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors or (y) in connection with any request or requirement of any such regulatory body, (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Agent, (f) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.15 and (g) to any creditor or any prospective transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Obligations or any interest therein by such Lender; provided that such creditor or prospective transferee or participant agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender.

13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

13.17 Register. Each of the Borrowers hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as such Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.17, to maintain a register at one of its offices in New York, New York (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect each Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and/or Loans. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and/or Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of an assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and/or Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and the registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Commitment and/or Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender any Note evidencing such Commitment and/or Loan and such Note shall be marked “cancelled”, and one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or, if requested thereby, the new Lender. The registration of any provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 2.15 shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance of the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement for acceptance and registration of the provision of an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to the extent requested by such Incremental Term Loan Lenders and Incremental Term Notes shall be issued, at the respective Borrower’s expense, to such Incremental Term Loan Lenders, to be in conformity with Section 2.05 (with appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and outstanding Incremental Term Loans made by such Incremental Term Loan Lender. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.17 in respect of the Loans and Commitments made to such Borrower.

134

13.18 English Language. This Agreement and all other Credit Documents shall be in the English language, except as required by applicable local law (in which event certified English translations thereof shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, be provided by Holdings to the Administrative Agent). All documents, certificates, reports or notices to be delivered or communications to be given or made by any party hereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be in the English language or, if originally written in another language, shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, be accompanied by an accurate English translation upon which the other parties hereto shall have the right to rely for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

13.19 Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in Persons Not Organized in Qualified Jurisdictions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties require that, among other things, all Equity Interests in, various Persons owned by the respective Credit Party be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that each Credit Party shall be required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Credit Party is organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents and to take all actions under the laws of the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Brazil, Mexico and The Netherlands to perfect the security interests in the Equity Interests of any Person organized under the laws of said jurisdictions (to the extent said Equity Interests are owned by any Credit Party). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of Equity Interests in any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than those specified in the immediately preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that, as of the Initial Borrowing Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The Credit Agreement Parties hereby agree that, following any reasonable request by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to do so, each Credit Agreement Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including, without limitation, the execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of any filings and the delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are determined by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions. If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 13.19, all such actions shall be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.19 and Sections 9.12 and 9.13 and within the time periods set forth therein. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law (but only with respect to Equity Interests in Persons organized under laws of jurisdictions other than the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Brazil, Mexico or The Netherlands) not required to be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.19, provided that to the extent any representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the respective representation of warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19 or pursuant to Sections 9.12 and 9.13.

135

13.20 Powers of Attorney; etc. Each of Holdings and the U.S. Borrower is hereby authorized by, and on behalf of, the Canadian Borrower to give Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion/Continuation and other notices and directions in connection with the extensions of credit and repayments thereof to be made pursuant to this Agreement to the Canadian Borrower (including without limitation notices as to the application of proceeds of such extensions of credit). The Canadian Borrower hereby grants to each of Holdings and the U.S. Borrower an irrevocable power-of attorney, in the Canadian Borrower’s name, to take the actions contemplated above in this Section 13.20 and in the last sentence of Section 2.13 hereof. Furthermore, the Canadian Borrower agrees that the Agents and the Lenders may at any time rely upon any notices, instructions or other information furnished by Holdings or the U.S. Borrower.

13.21 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. Each of the Credit Agreement Parties, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that such Credit Agreement Party, its Subsidiaries or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States, Canada or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Credit Document or any other liability or obligation of such Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Credit Agreement Party, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States, Canada or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Agreement Party further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 13.21 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

13.22 Determinations of Satisfaction by the Lenders. Where a document or matter is required by this Agreement to be satisfactory to the Lenders (or a subset thereof) (whether reasonably, or in its or their sole discretion, or otherwise), such document or matter shall be deemed to be so satisfactory in the absence of notice from any Lender to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such document or matter is not satisfactory.

13.23 Judgment Currency.

(a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in U.S. Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof, as the case may be, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due by any Borrower, such Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the U.S. Dollar Equivalent or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency. If the amount of the Judgment Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lenders in the Judgment Currency, the Lenders shall, except during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under paragraph (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Section 11 (in which case such excess shall be applied by such Lender to any outstanding Obligations owed to such Lender by any Credit Party), remit such excess to the relevant Borrower.

13.24 Limitation on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.10 or 2.11 of this Agreement, unless a Lender gives notice to the respective Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under such Section within six months after the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the respective Borrower pursuant to said Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, to the extent of the costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital that are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs six months prior to such Lender giving notice to the respective Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be (provided further that, if any Requirement of Law giving rise, directly or indirectly, to such obligation to pay under Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, is retroactive, then the six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). This Section 13.24 shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 2.10 or 2.11.

13.25 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender subject to the Act hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each of the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

13.26 Abstract Acknowledgment of Indebtedness and Joint Creditorship; Release of German Pledge Agreement.

137

(a) In connection with the Local Law Pledge Agreement pursuant to which the Canadian Borrower has pledged all of its Equity Interests in its wholly-owned Subsidiary CSA Holding (Deutschland) GmbH to the Collateral Agent (the “German Law Pledge Agreement”), the Canadian Borrower has granted an abstract acknowledgement of indebtedness (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis) to the Collateral Agent in a separate agreement governed by German law to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to, and in the currency of, any amounts owed by the Canadian Borrower to a Secured Creditor (as defined in the Canadian Pledge Agreement) under any Credit Document, Post Petition Swap Agreement or Post Petition Cash Management Arrangement as and when such amounts falls due for payment under the relevant Credit Document, Post Petition Swap Agreement or Post Petition Cash Management Arrangement or would have fallen due but for any discharge resulting from failure of another Secured Creditor to take appropriate steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting the Canadian Borrower or any other Credit Party, to preserve its entitlement to be paid that amount (the “Abstract Acknowledgement of Indebtedness”). For purposes of the Abstract Acknowledgement of Indebtedness only, the Collateral Agent shall be the joint creditor (together with the relevant Secured Creditor) of all obligations of the Canadian Borrower towards each of the Secured Creditors under the Credit Documents, the Post Petition Swap Agreements and the Post Petition Cash Management Arrangements.

(b) Any amount due and payable by the Canadian Borrower to the Collateral Agent under the Abstract Acknowledgement of Indebtedness shall be decreased to the extent that the other Secured Creditors have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Credit Documents, the Post Petition Swap Agreements or the Post Petition Cash Management Arrangements and any amount due and payable by the Canadian Borrower to the other Secured Creditors under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Collateral Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full in cash of the corresponding amount under the Abstract Acknowledgement of Indebtedness, provided that the Canadian Borrower may not consider its obligations towards a Secured Creditor to be so discharged by virtue of any set-off, counterclaim or similar defence that it may invoke vis-à-vis the Collateral Agent. For purposes of the Abstract Acknowledgement of Indebtedness and German Law Pledge Agreement only, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any provision in the Abstract Acknowledgement of Indebtedness, irrevocable and unconditional payment in full in cash of all of the Credit Document Obligations (as defined in the Canadian Pledge Agreement) shall satisfy in full all obligations owed by the Canadian Borrower under the Abstract Acknowledgement of Indebtedness.

(c) Subject to paragraph (b) above, the rights of the Secured Creditors (other than the Collateral Agent) to receive payment of amounts payable by the Canadian Borrower under the Credit Documents, the Post Petition Swap Agreements and the Post Petition Cash Management Arrangements are several and are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Collateral Agent to receive payment under the Abstract Acknowledgement of Indebtedness.

(d) On the German Pledge Termination Date (as defined below), the German Law Pledge Agreement shall terminate and the security interests granted thereby shall be released automatically (provided that all indemnities set forth therein shall survive any such termination) and the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the Canadian Borrower, will execute and deliver to the Canadian Borrower a proper instrument or instruments (including local law termination statements) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of the German Law Pledge Agreement (including, without limitation, local law termination statements and instruments of satisfaction, discharge and/or reconveyance), and will assign, transfer and deliver to the Canadian Borrower (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Equity Interests in CSA Holding (Deutschland) GmbH as may be in

138

the possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its sub-agents thereunder and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to the German Law Pledge Agreement, together with any moneys at the time held by the Collateral Agent or any of its sub-agents hereunder. As used in this Agreement, “German Pledge Termination Date” shall mean the date upon which the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated, no or Note is outstanding (and all Loans have been paid in full), and all other Credit Document Obligations (as defined in the Canadian Pledge Agreement) (other than indemnities described in the German Law Pledge Agreement and described in Section 13.01 hereof, and any other indemnities set forth in any other Security Documents, in each case which are not then due and payable) then due and payable have been paid in full.

(e) In the event that any Equity Interests in CSA Holding (Deutschland) GmbH are sold or otherwise disposed of (to a Person other than a Credit Party) at any time prior to the time at which all Credit Document Obligations (as defined in the Canadian Pledge Agreement) have been paid in full and all Commitments, in connection with a sale or disposition permitted by Section 10.05 hereof or is otherwise released at the direction of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 13.12 hereof), the proceeds of such sale or disposition (or from such release) are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement to the extent required to be so applied, such Equity Interests shall be automatically released from the security interest granted under the German Law Pledge Agreement and the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the Canadian Borrower, will execute and deliver such documentation (including termination or partial release statements and the like in connection therewith) and assign, transfer and deliver to the Canadian Borrower (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such Equity Interests as are then being (or has been) so sold or released and as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent (or, in the case of Equity Interests held by any sub-agent designated pursuant to the German Law Pledge Agreement, such sub-agent) and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) At any time that the Canadian Borrower desires that the Collateral Agent execute and deliver any release documentation as provided in the foregoing in this Section 13.26, the Canadian Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (and the relevant sub-agent, if any, designated pursuant to the German Law Pledge Agreement) a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Canadian Borrower stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to this Section 13.26. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor (as defined in the Canadian Pledge Agreement) as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Collateral Agent believes to be in accordance with) this Section 13.26.

(g) If at any time all of the Equity Interests of the Canadian Borrower owned by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are sold (to a Person other than a Credit Party) in a transaction permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement (and which does not violate the terms of any other Secured Debt Agreement (as defined in the Canadian Pledge Agreement) then in effect), then, at the request and expense of the U.S. Borrower, the Canadian Borrower shall be released as a pledgor under the German Law Pledge Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.26 automatically without any further action hereunder (it being understood that the sale of all of the Equity Interests in any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests in the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to be a sale of all of the Equity Interests in the Canadian Borrower for purposes of this Section), and the Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to execute and deliver such instruments of release as are reasonably satisfactory to it. At any time that the U.S. Borrower desires that the Canadian Borrower be released from the German Law Pledge Agreement as provided in this

139

Section 13.26, the U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of the U.S. Borrower stating that the release of the Canadian Borrower is permitted pursuant to this Section 13.26. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor as a result of the release of the Canadian Borrower by it in accordance with, or which it believes to be in accordance with, this Section 13.26.

If any or all of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings unconditionally and irrevocably promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations. This Holdings Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This Holdings Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Borrowers and any other Holdings Guaranteed Party), then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Holdings, notwithstanding any revocation of this Holdings Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, and Holdings shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

14.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (h), (i) or (j) of Section 11, and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand.

14.04 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Holdings Guaranty, and this Holdings Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full in cash of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought against each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party and whether or not each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party be joined in any such action or actions. Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by a Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Borrower or such other Holdings Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Holdings.

14.05 Authorization. Holdings authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Holdings Guaranty made shall apply to the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, increased or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

141

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party to their respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Borrower or such other Holdings Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

(h) take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Holdings from its liabilities under this Holdings Guaranty.

14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Holdings Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

14.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to Holdings is hereby subordinated to the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower or such other Holdings Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Borrower or such other Holdings Guaranteed Party to Holdings shall be collected, enforced and received by Holdings for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower or such Holdings Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Holdings under the other provisions of this Holdings Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by Holdings of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party to Holdings, Holdings shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

14.08 Waiver. (a) Holdings waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Holdings waives any

142

defense based on or arising out of any defense of each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full in cash of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party other than payment in full in cash of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder except to the extent the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Holdings waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

(b) Holdings waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Holdings Guaranteed Obligations. Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s and each other Holdings Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Until such time as the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, Holdings hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty.

(d) Holdings hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, Holdings shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing Holdings’ or any Guaranteed Creditor’s right to proceed against each Borrower, any other Holdings Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Holdings hereby waives until such time as the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash:

(i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Holdings by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

143

(ii) all rights and defenses that Holdings may have because the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by each Borrower or any other Credit Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on any Real Property collateral pledged by each Borrower or any other Credit Party, (1) the amount of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings even if the Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, have destroyed any right Holdings may have to collect from each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Holdings may have because the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure); and

(iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed Holdings’ rights of subrogation and reimbursement against each Borrower or any other Holdings Guaranteed Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(e) Holdings warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14.09 Payments. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this Section 14 shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this Section 14 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.03 and 5.04.

14.10 Maximum Liability. It is the desire and intent of Holdings and the Guaranteed Creditors that this Holdings Guaranty shall be enforced against Holdings to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of Holdings under this Holdings Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of Holdings’ obligations under this Holdings Guaranty shall be deemed to be reduced and Holdings shall pay the maximum amount of the Holdings Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

144

15.01 The U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty.

(e) settle or compromise any of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to their respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Post Petition Swap Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Post Petition Swap Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h) take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the U.S. Borrower from its liabilities under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty.

15.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

15.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to the U.S. Borrower is hereby subordinated to the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations of the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the U.S. Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received by the U.S. Borrower for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations of the Canadian Borrower or such other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the U.S. Borrower under the other provisions of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the U.S. Borrower of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party to the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

15.08 Waiver. (a) The U.S. Borrower waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. The U.S. Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Canadian Borrower, any

147

other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of the Canadian Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Canadian Borrower or any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party other than payment in full in cash of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the U.S. Borrower hereunder except to the extent the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. The U.S. Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the U.S. Borrower against the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

(b) The U.S. Borrower waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. The U.S. Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Canadian Borrower’s and each other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the U.S. Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise the U.S. Borrower of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Until such time as the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, the U.S. Borrower hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from the Canadian Borrower, any other U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty.

(d) The U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, the U.S. Borrower shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing the U.S. Borrower’s or any Guaranteed Creditor’s right to proceed against any U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, the U.S. Borrower hereby waives until such time as the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash:

(i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to the U.S. Borrower by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

148

(ii) all rights and defenses that the U.S. Borrower may have because the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from the U.S. Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Credit Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on any Real Property collateral pledged by any Credit Party, (1) the amount of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from the U.S. Borrower even if the Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, have destroyed any right the U.S. Borrower may have to collect from any U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the U.S. Borrower may have because the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure); and

(iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed the U.S. Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Party by the operation of Section 680d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(e) The U.S. Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15.09 Payments. All payments made by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 15 shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All payments made by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 15 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.03 and 5.04.

15.10 Maximum Liability. It is the desire and intent of the U.S Borrower and the Guaranteed Creditors that this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty shall be enforced against the U.S Borrower to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of the U.S Borrower under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the U.S Borrower’s obligations under this U.S. Borrower’s Guaranty shall be deemed to be reduced and the U.S. Borrower shall pay the maximum amount of the U.S Borrower Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.
