1.5. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding immediately after Section 1.3, and before Section 1.4, a new Section 1.3A which shall read as follows:
Section 1.3A. Canadian Letters of Credit. (a) General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Canadian Revolving Credit, the Canadian L/C Issuer shall issue standby and commercial letters of credit (each a Canadian Letter of Credit) for the account of any Canadian Borrower in an aggregate undrawn face amount up to the relevant L/C Sublimit. Each Canadian Letter of Credit shall be issued by the Canadian L/C Issuer, but each Canadian Lender shall be obligated to reimburse the Canadian L/C Issuer for such Lenders Canadian Revolver Percentage of the amount of each drawing thereunder and, accordingly, each Canadian Letter of Credit shall constitute usage of the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment of each Canadian Lender pro rata in an amount equal to its Canadian Revolver Percentage of the Canadian L/C Obligations then outstanding.
(b) Applications. At any time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Canadian L/C Issuer shall, at the request of any Canadian Borrower, issue one or more Canadian Letters of Credit in Canadian Dollars, in a form satisfactory to the Canadian L/C Issuer, with expiration dates no later than the earlier of 12 months from the date of issuance (or which are cancelable not later than 12 months from the date of issuance and each renewal) or the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in an aggregate face amount as set forth above, upon the receipt of an application duly executed by such Canadian Borrower for the relevant Canadian Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by the Canadian L/C Issuer for the Canadian Letter of Credit requested (each a Canadian L/C Application). Notwithstanding anything contained in any Canadian L/C Application to the contrary: (i) the Canadian Borrowers shall pay fees in connection with each Canadian Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.9 hereof, before the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Canadian L/C Issuer will not call for the funding by the Canadian Borrowers of any amount under a Canadian Letter of Credit before being presented with a drawing thereunder, and (iii) if the Canadian L/C Issuer is not timely reimbursed for the amount of any drawing under a Canadian Letter of Credit on the
-3-
date such drawing is paid, the obligations of the Canadian Borrowers to reimburse the Canadian L/C Issuer for the amount of such drawing shall bear interest (which the Canadian Borrowers hereby promise to pay) from and after the date such drawing is paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Canadian Base Rate from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed). If the Canadian L/C Issuer issues any Canadian Letter of Credit with an expiration date that is automatically extended unless the Canadian L/C Issuer gives notice that the expiration date will not so extend beyond its then scheduled expiration date, unless the Required Lenders instruct the Canadian L/C Issuer otherwise, the Canadian L/C Issuer will give such notice of non-renewal before the time necessary to prevent such automatic extension if before such required notice date: (i) the expiration date of such Canadian Letter of Credit if so extended would be after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated, or (iii) a Default or an Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Co-Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, has given the Canadian L/C Issuer instructions not to so permit the extension of the expiration date of such Canadian Letter of Credit. The Canadian L/C Issuer agrees to issue amendments to the Canadian Letter(s) of Credit increasing the amount, or extending the expiration date, thereof at the request of the relevant Canadian Borrower subject to the conditions of Section 7 hereof and the other terms of this Section 1.3A.
(c) The Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligations. Subject to Section 1.3A(b) hereof, the obligation of the Canadian Borrowers to reimburse the Canadian L/C Issuer for all drawings under a Canadian Letter of Credit (a Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation) shall be governed by the Canadian L/C Application related to such Canadian Letter of Credit, except that reimbursement shall be made by no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the date when each drawing is to be paid if the relevant Canadian Borrower has been informed of such drawing by the Canadian L/C Issuer on or before 11:30 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid or, if notice of such drawing is given to the relevant Canadian Borrower after 11:30 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid, by the end of such day, in immediately available funds at the Canadian Co-Agents office in Toronto, Canada or such other office as the Canadian Co-Agent may designate in writing to the Canadian Borrowers (who shall thereafter cause to be distributed to
-4-
the Canadian L/C Issuer such amount(s) in like funds). If the Canadian Borrowers do not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Canadian Lenders fund their participations therein in the manner set forth in Section 1.3A(d) below, then all payments thereafter received by the Canadian Co-Agent in discharge of any of the relevant Canadian Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with Section 1.3A(d) below.
(d) The Participating Canadian Interests. Each Canadian Lender (other than the Canadian Lender acting as Canadian L/C Issuer in issuing the relevant Canadian Letter of Credit), by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to purchase from the Canadian L/C Issuer, and the Canadian L/C Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each such Canadian Lender (a Participating Canadian Lender), an undivided percentage participating interest (a Participating Canadian Interest), to the extent of its Canadian Revolver Percentage, in each Canadian Letter of Credit issued by, and each Canadian Reimbursement Obligation owed to, the Canadian L/C Issuer. Upon any failure by the Canadian Borrowers to pay any Canadian Reimbursement Obligation at the time required on the date the related drawing is to be paid, as set forth in Section 1.3A(c) above, or if the Canadian L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to any Canadian Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Canadian Reimbursement Obligation, each Participating Canadian Lender shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit A hereto from the Canadian L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Co-Agent) to such effect, if such certificate is received before 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time), or not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to the Canadian Co-Agent for the account of the Canadian L/C Issuer an amount equal to such Participating Canadian Lenders Canadian Revolver Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured Canadian Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date the related payment was made by the Canadian L/C Issuer to the date of such payment by such Participating Canadian Lender at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related payment was made by the Canadian L/C Issuer to the date 2 Business Days after payment by such Participating Canadian Lender is due hereunder, the CDOR Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date 2 Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Canadian Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Canadian Lender, the Canadian Base Rate in
-5-

Each such Participating Canadian Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Canadian Revolver Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Canadian Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with the Canadian L/C Issuer retaining its Canadian Revolver Percentage thereof as a Canadian Lender hereunder. The several obligations of the Participating Canadian Lenders to the Canadian L/C Issuer under this Section 1.3A shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating Canadian Lender may have or have had against the Canadian Borrowers, the Canadian L/C Issuer, the Canadian Co-Agent, any Lender or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of any Commitment of any Lender, and each payment by a Participating Canadian Lender under this Section 1.3A shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Indemnification. The Participating Canadian Lenders shall, to the extent of their respective Canadian Revolver Percentages, indemnify the Canadian L/C Issuer (to the extent not reimbursed by the Canadian Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from the Canadian L/C Issuers gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the Canadian L/C Issuer may suffer or incur in connection with any Canadian Letter of Credit issued by it. The obligations of the Participating Canadian Lenders under this Section 1.3A(e) and all other parts of this Section 1.3A shall survive termination of this Agreement and of all Canadian L/C Applications, Canadian Letters of Credit, and all drafts and other documents presented in connection with drawings thereunder.
