(f)    a Request for Revolving Credit Advance, once delivered to Agent, shall not be revocable by Borrower and shall constitute a certification by US Borrower as of the date thereof that:
(i)    all conditions to the making of Revolving Credit Advances set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied (including, without limitation, the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate as required in accordance with Section 6.2(a) hereof), and shall remain satisfied to the date of such Revolving Credit Advance (both before and immediately after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Advance);

Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders, may also, at its option, lend under this Section 2.3 upon the telephone or email request of an Authorized Signer of the US Borrower to make such requests and, in the event Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders, makes any such Advance upon a telephone or email request, an Authorized Signer shall fax or deliver by electronic file to Agent, on the same day as such telephone or email request, an executed Request for Revolving Credit Advance. The US Borrower and Lenders hereby authorize Agent to disburse Advances under this Section 2.3 pursuant to the telephone or email instructions of any person purporting to be an Authorized Signer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the US Borrower acknowledges that the US Borrower shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone or email request.

1.14    Disbursement of Advances.
(c)    Upon receiving any Request for Revolving Credit Advance from the US Borrower under Section 2.3 hereof, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of such Advance being requested and the date such Revolving Credit Advance is to be made by each Lender in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Advance. Unless such Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall have been suspended or terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each such Lender shall make available the amount of its Percentage of each Revolving Credit Advance in immediately available funds to Agent.
(c)    Subject to submission of an executed Request for Revolving Credit Advance by the US Borrower without exceptions noted in the compliance certification therein, Agent shall make available to the US Borrower the aggregate of the amounts so received by it from the Lenders in like funds and currencies not later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on the date of such Revolving Credit Advance, by credit to an account of the US Borrower maintained with Agent or to such other account or third party as the US Borrower may reasonably direct in writing, provided such direction is timely given.
(c)    Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any proposed Revolving Credit Advance that such Lender does not intend to make available to Agent such Lender’s Percentage of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date, as aforesaid. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the US Borrower the amount of such payment in reliance on such assumption. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such amount upon Agent’s demand therefor and the Agent has in fact made a corresponding amount available to the US Borrower, the Agent shall promptly notify the US Borrower and the US Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent, if

-41-


such notice is delivered to US Borrower prior to 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on a Business Day, on the day such notice is received, and otherwise on the next Business Day, and such amount paid by the US Borrower shall be applied as a prepayment of the Revolving Credit (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment), reimbursing Agent for having funded said amounts on behalf of such Lender. The US Borrower shall retain its claim against such Lender with respect to the amounts repaid by it to Agent and, if such Lender subsequently makes such amounts available to Agent, Agent shall promptly make such amounts available to the US Borrower as a Revolving Credit Advance. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or US Borrower, as the case may be, but without duplication, interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by Agent to the Borrower, to the date such amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate per annum equal to:
(v)    in the case of such Lender, for the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Revolving Credit Advances; and
(vi)    in the case of the US Borrower, the rate of interest then applicable to such Revolving Credit Advances.
Until such Lender has paid Agent such amount, such Lender shall have no interest in or rights with respect to such Advance for any purpose whatsoever. The obligation of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Lender to make any Advance hereunder, and no Lender shall have any liability to the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent, any other Lender, or any other party for another Lender’s failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder.
1.15    Interest Payments; Default Interest.
(a)    Interest on the unpaid balance of all Base Rate Advances of the Revolving Credit from time to time outstanding shall accrue from the date of such Advance to the date repaid, at a per annum interest rate equal to the Base Rate, and shall be payable in immediately available funds commencing on each Quarterly Payment Date commencing December 31, 2018. Whenever any payment under this Section 2.5(a) shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day. Interest accruing at the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation, effect shall be given to any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Base Rate on the date of such change in the Base Rate.
(b)    Interest on each Eurodollar-based Advance of the Revolving Credit shall accrue at its Eurodollar-based Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the Eurodollar-Interest Period applicable thereto. Interest accruing at the Eurodollar-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the Eurodollar-Interest Period applicable thereto to but not including the last day thereof.

-42-


(c)    In the case of any Event of Default under Section 8.1(i), immediately upon the occurrence thereof, and in the case of any other Event of Default, immediately upon receipt by Agent of notice from the Majority Lenders, interest shall be payable on demand on all Revolving Credit Advances from time to time outstanding at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate in respect of each such Advance plus three percent (3%).
(d)    The US Borrower may prepay all or part of the outstanding principal of any Advance(s) of the Revolving Credit at any time, provided that, unless the "Sweep to Loan" system shall be in effect in respect of the Revolving Credit, after giving effect to any partial prepayment, the aggregate balance of Advance(s) of the Revolving Credit remaining outstanding shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

(a)Swing Line Advances. The Swing Line Lender may, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth (including without limitation Section 2.6(c) hereof), but shall not be required to, make one or more Swing Line Advances to the US Borrower from time to time on any Business Day until (but excluding) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the Swing Line Maximum Amount.

The entries made in such account or accounts of Swing Line Lender shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the US Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Swing Line Lender to maintain such account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the US Borrower to repay the Swing Line Advances (and all other amounts owing with respect thereto) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(ii)    The US Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Swing Line Lender the then unpaid principal amount of all Swing Line Advances (plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and on such other dates and in such other amounts as may be required by Agent from time to time and as required pursuant to this Agreement.

(D)    At the option of the Agent, subject to revocation by Agent at any time and from time to time and so long as the Agent is the Swing Line Lender, Borrower may utilize the Agent’s "Sweep to Loan" automated system for obtaining Swing Line Advances and making periodic repayments. At any time during which the "Sweep to Loan" system is in effect, Swing Line Advances shall be advanced to fund borrowing needs pursuant to the terms of the related "Sweep Agreement" executed and delivered by US Borrower to Swing Line Lender in connection herewith. Each time a Swing Line Advance is made using the "Sweep to Loan" system, US Borrower shall be deemed to have certified to the Agent and the Lenders each of the matters set forth in clause (v) of this Section 2.6. Principal and interest on Swing Line Advances requested, or deemed requested, pursuant to this Section shall be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Sweep Agreement without any deduction, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever. Unless sooner paid pursuant to the provisions hereof or the provisions of such Sweep Agreement, the principal amount of the Swing Loans shall be paid in full, together with accrued interest thereon, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

Agent may, at its option, also elect to make Swing Line Advances upon US Borrower’s telephone requests on the basis set forth in the last paragraph of Section 2.3, provided that the US Borrower complies with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.6.

In connection with the making of any such Refunded Swing Line Advances or the purchase of a participation interest in Swing Line Advances under Section 2.6(e)(ii) hereof, the Swing Line Lender shall retain its claim against the US Borrower for any unpaid interest or fees in respect thereof accrued to the

Unless any of the events described in Section 8.1(i) hereof shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.6(e)(ii) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance are then satisfied (but subject to Section 2.6(e)(iii)), each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Advance available to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Agent hereof prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard time on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given, in immediately available funds. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Advances shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Advances.
(ii)    If, prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 2.6(e)(i) hereof, one of the events described in Section 8.1(i) hereof shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date such Advance of the Revolving Credit was to have been made, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participating interest in each Swing Line Advance that was to have been refunded in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Swing Line Advance. Each Lender within the time periods specified in Section 2.6(e)(i) hereof, as applicable, shall immediately transfer to the Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to its Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Advances outstanding as of such date.

(A)     any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, the US Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(B)     the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default;
(C)     any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Credit Parties or any other Person;
(D)     any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Credit Parties or any other Person;
(E)     any inability of the US Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such Revolving Credit Advance is to be made or such participating interest is to be purchased;
(F)     the termination of the Revolving Commitments hereunder; or
(G)     any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Lender does not make available to the Agent the amount required pursuant to Section 2.6(e)(i) or (ii) hereof, as the case may be, the Agent on behalf of the

-46-


Swing Line Lender, shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full (aa) for the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (bb) thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Swing Line Advances. The obligation of any Lender to make available its pro rata portion of the amounts required pursuant to Section 2.6(e)(i) or (ii) hereof shall not be affected by the failure of any other Lender to make such amounts available, and no Lender shall have any liability to any Credit Party, the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, or any other Lender or any other party for another Lender’s failure to make available the amounts required under Section 2.6(e)(i) or (ii) hereof.
(iv)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to make any Revolving Credit Advance to refund a Swing Line Advance or to purchase a participation in a Swing Line Advance if at least two (2) Business Days prior to the making of such Swing Line Advance by the Swing Line Lender, the officers of the Swing Line Lender immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received written notice from Agent or any Lender that Swing Line Advances should be suspended based on the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default"; provided, however that the obligation of the Lenders to refund such Swing Line Advance or purchase a participation in such Swing Line Advance) shall be reinstated upon the date on which such Default or Event of Default has been cured or is waived by the requisite Lenders.

Promptly after receipt of any application for such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, the Agent or the US Borrower, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 4.2 is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.7, the Issuing Lender or any of the Issuing Lender's Affiliates will issue the proposed Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension, provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no event expire later than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and provided further that after giving effect to such Letter of Credit (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed, at any one time, the Equivalent Amount of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed, at any one time, the lesser of (AA) the Revolving Credit

Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to the US Borrower and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(b)    Letter of Credit Fees. The US Borrower shall pay (i) to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") equal to the Applicable Margin for Letters of Credit on the amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit. All Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit. The US Borrower shall also pay to the Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender's sole account the Issuing Lender's then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

(c)    Disbursements, Reimbursement. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(i)    In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the US Borrower and the Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the US Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") the Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 noon on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") by paying to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender, in the same currency as paid, unless otherwise required by the Agent or the Issuing Lender. In the event the US Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon on the Drawing Date, the Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the US Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that a Revolving Credit Advance be made in the amount of such Reimbursement Obligations to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit.

(ii)    Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(i) make available to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Percentage of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Advance in that amount with respect

If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender's Percentage of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (A) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first two (2) days following the Drawing Date and (B) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Advance thereafter.

(iii)    With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Advances as contemplated by Section 2.7(c)(i), for any other reason, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Advance. Each Lender's payment to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(ii) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a "Participation Advance") from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.7(c)(iii).

(d)    Repayment of Participation Advances.

(i)    Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the US Borrower (A) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Agent, or (B) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Agent, the amount of such Lender's Percentage of such funds, except the Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Percentage of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing Lender.

(ii)    If the Agent is required at any time to return to any Credit Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of any payment made for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fees thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Agent, forthwith return to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of its Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

(e)     Documentation. Each Credit Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing Lender's application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Credit Party's own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error,

-51-

As between any Credit Party and the Issuing Lender, or the Issuing Lender's Affiliates, such Credit Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Credit Party or other Person or property relating therefrom:

(i)     the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof);

(ii)     the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

In no event shall the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any Credit Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including attorneys' fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

-52-



Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender and each of its Affiliates (A) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (B) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (C) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (D) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (E) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (F) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an "Order") and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrowers or any Lender.
 
1.12    Mandatory Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances. If at any time and for any reason the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage shall exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and (ii) the then applicable Borrowing Base, US Borrower shall immediately reduce any pending request for a Revolving Credit Advance or Swing Line Advance on such day by the amount of such excess and, to the extent any excess remains thereafter, repay any Revolving Credit Advances or Swing Line Advances in an amount equal to the amount of such remaining excess.
1.13    Revolving Credit Commitment Fee. The US Borrower shall pay to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders, pro-rata in accordance with their respective Percentages in the Revolving Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitment Fees, quarterly in arrears commencing January 1, 2019, and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter (in respect of the prior three months or any portion thereof). The Revolving Credit Commitment Fees payable to each Lender shall be determined by multiplying the average daily amount by which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Amount exceeds the sum of such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances outstanding from time to time during such period by the Applicable Margin. Such fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment of such fee shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the

-53-


next Business Day. Upon receipt of such payment, Agent shall make prompt payment to each Lender of its share thereof.
1.14    Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments.
(a)     The US Borrower may, at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, request that (a) the current Lenders increase their Revolving Credit Commitment Amounts, or (b) one or more Increase Additional Lenders join this Agreement and provide a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, provided that, (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or shall occur as a result of the requested increase), (ii) Borrowers shall be in pro forma compliance with all covenants set forth in this Agreement (both before and after giving effect to such proposed increase), and (iii) the US Borrower shall have provided to Agent satisfactory evidence that, both immediately before and after giving pro forma effect to the proposed increase (including any transactions to be consummated utilizing proceeds of the increase), the Total Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 2.75:1.00 and the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.30:1.00.

(b)     The increases in the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10 (together with the original principal amount of any Incremental Term Loans made on or before the date of such increase pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof) shall not be more than Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000) and the minimum amount of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment Amounts shall be Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00).

No Lender shall have any obligation to fund any increase in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment, and any decision by a Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment Amount shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.

(d)    If the Agent receives commitments from Lenders and/or from any other Person that (i) qualifies as an Eligible Assignee and is acceptable to the US Borrower and Agent in their reasonable discretion, and (ii) has agreed to become an Increase Additional Lender in respect of all or a portion of the proposed increase in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment, in excess of the requested increase, the Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, but with the consent of the US Borrower, to reduce and reallocate (within the minimum and maximum amounts specified by each such Lender or Increase Additional Lender in its notice to the Agent) the proposed increase of each Lender or Increase Additional Lender willing to participate in such increase in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment. If the Agent does not receive commitments from Lenders (or Increase Additional Lenders) in an amount sufficient to fund the requested increase, the Agent shall so notify the US Borrower and the request for an increase in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment shall be deemed automatically rescinded.


-54-


(e)    An increase in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall become effective upon the receipt by Agent of an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and US Borrower signed by US Borrower, by each Increase Additional Lender and by each existing Lender agreeing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment, setting forth the new Revolving Credit Commitment Amounts of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Increase Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement as a Lender and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with Notes reflecting the new amount of each increasing Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Amount after giving effect to the increase and each Increase Additional Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Amount executed by US Borrower, and officer's certificates and ratification agreements executed by each of the Credit Parties and such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of each of the Credit Parties with respect to the increase, amendments to any other Loan Documents reasonably requested by the Agent in relation to the increase (which amendments to the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement) the Agent is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Lenders), updates of Lien searches from applicable jurisdictions, and such opinions of counsel for the Credit Parties with respect to the increase in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and other assurances as the Agent may reasonably request.

(f)     On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.10, each increasing Lender and each Increase Additional Lender participating in such increase (i) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Percentage of such Letter of Credit and the participation of each other Lender in such Letter of Credit shall be adjusted accordingly, and (ii) will acquire, (and will pay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its Percentage of any outstanding Participation Advances and such amounts (for distribution among the respective Lenders) as are necessary so that, after giving effect to the distribution thereof, the then outstanding Revolving Credit Advances are held by the Lenders (including the increasing Lenders and Increase Additional Lenders) in accordance with their respective Percentages in the Revolving Credit after giving effect to the changes in percentages resulting from the increase.

1.15    Use of Proceeds of Advances
Advances of the Revolving Credit shall be used (a) to initially, renew and refinance revolving advances previously incurred by Borrowers under the Original Agreement, and to pay all of the fees, costs and expenses associated therewith, (b) to finance working capital of the US Borrower, (c) to fund working capital advances to the CA Borrower under the CA Intercompany Note, (d) to fund working capital advances to US Borrower’s Domestic Subsidiaries, and (e) for other general corporate purposes, including without limitation, financing Capital Expenditures (to the extent permitted under this Agreement).

(e)    Borrowers agree that, upon written request to the Agent by any Lender, Borrowers will execute and deliver to such Lender, at Borrowers' expense, a US Term Loan Note or a CA Term Loan Note evidencing the US Term Loan or the CA Term Loan, as applicable, owing to such Lender.

-60-


(d)    Each mandatory prepayment under this Section 3.9 or any other mandatory or optional prepayment under this Agreement shall be in addition to any scheduled installments or optional prepayments made prior thereto. Mandatory prepayments required under this Section 3.9 shall be applied first to the US Term Loan (and to installments thereon in the inverse order of maturity), until the US Term Loan is paid in full, and thereafter to the CA Term Loan and/or any Incremental Term Loan, in such order as Agent shall elect.
(e)     To the extent that, on the date any mandatory prepayment of any Amortizing Loan under this Section 3.9 is due, the Indebtedness under any Amortizing Loan or any other Indebtedness to be prepaid is being carried, in whole or in part, at the Eurodollar-based Rate and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may deposit the amount of such mandatory prepayment in a cash collateral account to be held by the Agent, for and on behalf of the Lenders (which shall be an interest-bearing account), on such terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Agent and upon such deposit, the obligation of each Borrower to make such mandatory prepayment shall be deemed satisfied. Subject to the terms and conditions of said cash collateral account, sums on deposit in said cash collateral account shall be applied (until exhausted) to reduce the principal balance of such Amortizing Loans on the last day of each Eurodollar-Interest Period attributable to the Eurodollar-based Advances of such Amortizing Loans, thereby avoiding breakage costs under Section 10.1.

(b)    The aggregate principal amount of any Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to this Section shall not exceed (together with any increases made to the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment pursuant to Section 2.10 of this Agreement) Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000) and each Incremental Term Loan must be at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and in integral multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof. Additionally, the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Final Maturity Date, and the rate of amortization on the Incremental Term Loan shall not be shorter than the rate of amortization applicable to the other Amortizing Loans. The US Borrower shall provide at least thirty (30) days' written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders) of any requested Incremental Term Loan. Subject to the last sentence in clause (d) below, each such notice delivered by the US Borrower shall be irrevocable and shall be binding on the US Borrower.

-61-


(c)    The Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice of a requested Incremental Term Loan to such Lenders or other Persons that qualify as an Eligible Assignee as may be determined by the Agent in its reasonable discretion with the approval of US Borrower or as may be specified by the US Borrower. No Lender shall have any obligation to fund any Incremental Term Loan, and any decision by a Lender to fund any Incremental Term Loan shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.

(d)    If the Agent receives commitments from Lenders and/or from any other Person that (i) qualifies as an Eligible Assignee and is acceptable to Borrower and Agent in their reasonable discretion, and (ii) has agreed to be an Increase Additional Lender in respect of all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loan, in excess of the requested Incremental Term Loan, the Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, but with the consent of the US Borrower, to reduce and reallocate the shares of the Incremental Term Loan of the Lenders or Increase Additional Lenders willing to fund such Incremental Term Loan so that the total equals the requested Incremental Term Loan. If the Agent does not receive commitments from Lenders (or Increase Additional Lenders) in an amount sufficient to fund the requested Incremental Term Loan, the Agent shall so notify the US Borrower and the request for an Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be deemed automatically rescinded.

(e)    An agreement to fund Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section shall become effective upon the receipt by Agent of an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and US Borrower signed by US Borrower, by each Increase Additional Lender and by each existing Lender agreeing to fund Incremental Term Loans, setting forth the new Incremental Term Loans of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Increase Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement as a Lender and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with Notes executed by US Borrower with respect to such Incremental Term Loan and officer's certificates and ratification agreements executed by each of the Credit Parties and such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of each of the Credit Parties with respect to the requested Incremental Term Loan, amendments to any other Loan Documents reasonably requested by the Agent in relation to the requested Incremental Term Loan (which amendments to the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement) the Agent is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Lenders), updates of lien searches from applicable jurisdictions, and such opinions of counsel for the Credit Parties with respect to the requested Incremental Term Loan and other assurances as the Agent may reasonably request.

(e)    US Borrower agrees that, upon written request to the Agent by any Lender, US Borrower will execute and deliver, to such Lender a CAPEX Loan Note evidencing the outstanding CAPEX Loan Advances owing to such Lender.

Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders, may also, at its option, lend under this Section 3A upon the telephone or email request of an Authorized Signer of the US Borrower to make such requests and, in the event Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders, makes any such Advance upon a telephone or email request, an Authorized Signer shall fax or deliver by electronic file to Agent, on the same day as such telephone or email request, an executed Request for CAPEX Loan Advance. The US Borrower and Lenders hereby authorize Agent to disburse Advances under this Section 3A pursuant to the telephone or email instructions of any person purporting to be an Authorized Signer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the US Borrower acknowledges that the US Borrower shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone or email request. Each telephone or email request for an Advance from an Authorized Signer for the US Borrower shall constitute a certification of the matters set forth in the Request for CAPEX Loan Advance form as of the date of such requested Advance.
3A.4    Disbursement of Advances.

(a)    Upon receiving any Request for CAPEX Loan Advance from the US Borrower under Section 3A.3 hereof, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of such Advance being requested and the date such CAPEX Loan Advance is to be made by each Lender in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Advance. Unless such Lender’s CAPEX Loan Commitment shall have been suspended or terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each such Lender shall make available the amount of its Percentage of each CAPEX Loan Advance in immediately available funds to Agent.

(b)    Subject to submission of an executed Request for CAPEX Loan Advance by the US Borrower without exceptions noted in the compliance certification therein, Agent shall make available to the US Borrower the aggregate of the amounts so received by it from the Lenders in like funds and currencies not later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on the date of such CAPEX Loan Advance, by credit to an account of the US Borrower maintained with Agent or to such other account or third party as the US Borrower may reasonably direct in writing, provided such direction is timely given.

(c)    Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any proposed CAPEX Loan Advance that such Lender does not intend to make available to Agent such Lender’s Percentage of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date, as aforesaid. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the

-65-


US Borrower the amount of such payment in reliance on such assumption. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such amount upon Agent’s demand therefor and the Agent has in fact made a corresponding amount available to the US Borrower, the Agent shall promptly notify the US Borrower and the US Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent, if such notice is delivered to US Borrower prior to 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on a Business Day, on the day such notice is received, and otherwise on the next Business Day, and such amount paid by the US Borrower shall be applied as a prepayment of the CAPEX Loan (without any corresponding reduction in the CAPEX Loan Aggregate Commitment), reimbursing Agent for having funded said amounts on behalf of such Lender. The US Borrower shall retain its claim against such Lender with respect to the amounts repaid by it to Agent and, if such Lender subsequently makes such amounts available to Agent, Agent shall promptly make such amounts available to the US Borrower as a CAPEX Loan Advance. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or US Borrower, as the case may be, but without duplication, interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by Agent to the Borrower, to the date such amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate per annum equal to:

(i)    in the case of such Lender, for the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such CAPEX Loan Advances; and
(ii)    in the case of the US Borrower, the rate of interest then applicable to such CAPEX Loan Advances.
Until such Lender has paid Agent such amount, such Lender shall have no interest in or rights with respect to such Advance for any purpose whatsoever. The obligation of any Lender to make any CAPEX Loan Advance hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Lender to make any Advance hereunder, and no Lender shall have any liability to the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent, any other Lender, or any other party for another Lender’s failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder.

3A.5    Interest Payments; Default Interest.

Whenever any payment under this Section 3A.5(a) shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day. Interest accruing at the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation, effect shall be given to any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Base Rate on the date of such change in the Base Rate.

(c)    In the case of any Event of Default under Section 8.1(i), immediately upon the occurrence thereof, and in the case of any other Event of Default, immediately upon receipt by Agent of notice from the Majority Lenders, interest shall be payable on demand on all CAPEX Loan Advances from time to time outstanding at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate in respect of each such Advance plus three percent (3%).
3A.6    Repayment of Principal.

(a)    The US Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount of all CAPEX Loan Advances outstanding as of the first (1st) anniversary of the Restatement Date ("CAPEX Loan Term-Out Balance"), in quarterly principal installments to be paid on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing December 31, 2019, continuing thereafter until the CAPEX Loan Maturity Date, with such principal installments to be in the amount of:

(i)     from the December 31, 2019 Quarterly Payment Date, through and including the September 30, 2020 Quarterly Payment Date, the CAPEX Loan Term-Out Balance multiplied by 7.5% per annum;

(iii)    from the December 31, 2021 Quarterly Payment Date, through and including CAPEX Loan Maturity Date, the CAPEX Loan Term-Out Balance multiplied by 12.5% per annum.

(b)    The US Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount of all CAPEX Loan Advances outstanding as of the expiration of the CAPEX Loan Draw Period (but excluding all CAPEX Loan Advances included in the CAPEX Loan Term-Out Balance) (the "Remaining CAPEX Loan Balance") in quarterly principal installments to be paid on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing December 31, 2020, continuing thereafter until the CAPEX Loan Maturity Date, with such principal installments to be in the amount of:

(i)    from the December 31, 2020 Quarterly Payment Date, through and including the September 30, 2021 Quarterly Payment Date, the Remaining CAPEX Loan Balance multiplied by 10% per annum; and

(ii)    from the December 31, 2021 Quarterly Payment Date, through and including CAPEX Loan Maturity Date, the Remaining CAPEX Loan Balance multiplied by 12.5% per annum.


-67-


(c)    All remaining outstanding principal plus accrued interest on the CAPEX Loan shall be due and payable in full on the CAPEX Loan Maturity Date. Any amounts repaid or prepaid on any CAPEX Loan Advance may not be reborrowed.

(d)    Whenever any payment under this Section 3A.6 shall become due on a day that is not the expiration of the Eurodollar-Interest Period applicable to the relevant Loan, the date for payment thereunder shall be extended or shortened to coincide with the expiration of such Eurodollar-Interest Period.

3A.7    Optional Prepayment of Term Loans.

(a)    The US Borrower may prepay all or part of the outstanding principal of any Advance(s) of the CAPEX Loan at any time, provided that, after giving effect to any partial prepayment, the aggregate balance of Advance(s) of the CAPEX Loan remaining outstanding shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). Each partial prepayment of CAPEX Loan Advance shall be applied to the principal payments of such CAPEX Loan Advance in the inverse order of their maturities.
(b)    All prepayments of the CAPEX Loan shall be made to the Agent for distribution ratably to the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages.
3A.8    Mandatory Repayment of CAPEX Loan Advances. If at any time and for any reason the aggregate amount of all CAPEX Loan Advances made under the CAPEX Loan exceeds the CAPEX Loan Aggregate Commitment, US Borrower shall immediately reduce any pending request for a CAPEX Loan Advance on such day by the amount of such excess and, to the extent any excess remains thereafter, repay any CAPEX Loan Advances in an amount equal to the amount of such remaining excess.

3A.9    CAPEX Loan Commitment Fee. The US Borrower shall pay to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders, pro-rata in accordance with their respective Percentages in the CAPEX Loan, the CAPEX Loan Commitment Fees, quarterly in arrears commencing January 1, 2019, and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter (in respect of the prior three months or any portion thereof). The CAPEX Loan Commitment Fees payable to each Lender shall be determined by multiplying the average daily amount by which such Lender’s CAPEX Loan Commitment Amount exceeds the sum of such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of CAPEX Loan Advances outstanding from time to time during such period by the Applicable Margin. Such fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment of such fee shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day. Upon receipt of such payment, Agent shall make prompt payment to each Lender of its share thereof.

3A.10    Use of Proceeds of Advances. CAPEX Loan Advances shall be used solely to finance (in part) the Capital Expenditures incurred by US Borrower.

8.
PAYMENTS, RECOVERIES AND COLLECTIONS.
8.11    Payment Procedure.
(a)    All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments made by the Borrowers of principal, interest or fees hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim on the date specified for payment under this Agreement and must be received by Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on the date such payment is required or intended to be made in Dollars in immediately available funds to Agent at Agent’s office located at the address set forth on Schedule 12.6, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Any payment received by the Agent after 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Upon receipt of each such payment, the Agent shall make prompt payment to each applicable Lender, or, in respect of Eurodollar-based Advances, such Lender’s Eurodollar Lending Office, in like funds and currencies, of all amounts received by it for the account of such Lender.

-92-


(c)    Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which any payment to be made by such Borrower is due that such Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Agent may, in its sole discretion and without obligation to do so, assume that such Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of such assumed payment. If such Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available or transferred to such Lender, together with the interest thereon, in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first two (2) Business Days that such amount remains unpaid, and thereafter at a rate of interest then applicable to such Revolving Credit Advances.
(d)    Subject to the definition of "Eurodollar-Interest Period" in Section 1 of this Agreement, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment.
(e)    All payments to be made by Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the Notes shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, as aforesaid, and, subject to full compliance by each Lender (and each assignee and participant pursuant to Section 12.8) with Section 12.12, without deduction for or on account of any present or future withholding or other taxes of any nature imposed by any Governmental Authority or of any political subdivision thereof or any federation or organization of which such Governmental Authority may at the time of payment be a member (other than any Excluded Taxes), unless Borrowers are compelled by law to make payment subject to such tax. In such event, the relevant Borrower shall:
(v)    pay to the Agent for Agent’s own account and/or, as the case may be, for the account of the Lenders such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Agent and/or such Lender or Lenders receive a net amount equal to the full amount which would have been receivable had payment not been made subject to any Indemnified Tax; and
(vi)    remit such tax to the relevant taxing authorities according to applicable law, and send to the Agent or the applicable Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, such certificates or certified copy receipts as the Agent or such Lender or Lenders shall reasonably require as proof of the payment by Borrowers of any such taxes payable by Borrowers.
(iii)    If a Lender or the Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) or that, because of payment of such Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts, it has benefited from a reduction in Excluded Taxes otherwise payable by it, it shall pay to the applicable Borrower, an amount equal to such refund or reduction (but only to the extent of the additional amounts paid by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts giving rise to such refund or reduction), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or Agent and without interest (other than any net after-tax interest paid by the relevant

-93-


Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Each Borrower, upon the request of a Lender or the Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to any Lenders or the Agent if such Lenders or the Agent is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Lenders or Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person or to arrange its affairs in any particular manner; and

(iv)    If a Lender or the Agent is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of an Indemnified Tax with respect to payments made hereunder, such Lender or the Agent shall deliver, to the extent it is not legally prohibited from doing so to the Borrowers, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation that is prescribed by applicable law (or the administration thereof) and reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lenders and the Agent, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers in writing, shall deliver, to the extent it is not legally prohibited from doing so, such other documentation prescribed by applicable law (or the administration thereof) or reasonably requested by the Borrowers to determine whether or not such Lender or the Agent is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements.

As used herein, the terms "tax," "taxes" and "taxation" include all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, deductions and withholdings or similar charges together with interest (and any taxes payable upon the amounts paid or payable pursuant to this Section 9.1) thereon.
8.12    Application of Proceeds of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 8.1(i), immediately following the occurrence thereof, and in the case of any other Event of Default: (a) upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments, (b) the acceleration of any Indebtedness arising under this Agreement, (c) at the Agent’s option, or (d) upon the request of the Majority Lenders after the commencement of any remedies hereunder, the Agent shall apply the proceeds of any Collateral, together with any offsets, voluntary payments by any Credit Party or others and any other sums received or collected in respect of the Indebtedness, as follows:
First, to pay all incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Agent under the Loan Documents and any protective advances made by Agent with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document;
Second, to the accrued unpaid interest on Indebtedness under the Loans on a pro rata basis;
Third, to the principal balance of outstanding Indebtedness and to any obligations owing by any Credit Party under any Hedging Agreements with the Lenders on a pro rata basis,
Fourth, to any other Indebtedness on a pro rata basis; and

-94-


Fifth, if there is any excess, to the Credit Parties, as the case may be or as otherwise required by law.
8.13    Pro Rata Recovery. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of principal of, or interest on, any of the Advances made by it, in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or thereafter obtained by all Lenders upon principal of and interest on all such Indebtedness, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably in accordance with the applicable Percentages of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
8.14    Treatment of a Defaulting Lender.
(a)    The obligation of any Lender to make any Advance hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Lender to make any Advance under this Agreement, and no Lender shall have any liability to Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, the Agent, any other Lender, or any other Person for another Lender’s failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder.
(b)    If any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation any right to vote in respect of any amendment, consent or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, or to direct or approve any action or inaction by the Agent shall be suspended for the entire period that such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender and the stated commitment amounts and outstanding Advances of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders (or any class thereof), as the case may be, have taken or may take any action hereunder (including, without limitation, any action to approve any consent, waiver or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not permit any of the following:
(i)     an increase in such Defaulting Lender’s stated Commitment amounts;
(ii)     the waiver, forgiveness or reduction of the principal amount of any Indebtedness outstanding to such Defaulting Lender (unless all other Lenders affected thereby are treated similarly);
(iii)     the extension of the final maturity date(s) of such Defaulting Lenders’ portion of any of the Loans or other extensions of credit or other obligations of Borrowers owing to such Defaulting Lender, in each case without such Defaulting Lender’s consent; or
(iv)     any other modification which under Section 12.10 requires the consent of all Lenders or the Lender(s) affected thereby which affects the Defaulting Lender differently than the Non-Defaulting Lenders affected by such modification.

-95-


(c)    To the extent and for so long as a Lender remains a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall be entitled, without limitation to:
(i)    withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of those obligations for payment (and any related interest) in respect of which the Defaulting Lender shall be delinquent or otherwise in default to Agent or any Lender (or to hold as cash collateral for such delinquent obligations or any future defaults) the amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(ii)    if the amount of Advances made by such Defaulting Lender is less than its Percentage requires, apply payments of principal made by the Borrowers amongst the Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until all outstanding Advances are held by all Lenders according to their respective Percentages and
(iii)    bring an action or other proceeding, in law or equity, against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the delinquent amounts, and any related interest. Performance by Borrowers of their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section. Furthermore, the rights and remedies of Borrowers, the Agent, and the Lenders against a Defaulting Lender under this section shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies such parties may have against the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, and the Borrowers waive no rights or remedies against any Defaulting Lender.
9.
CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES; INCREASED COSTS.
9.11    Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs.
(a)    If (i) Borrowers make any payment of principal with respect to any Eurodollar-based Advance that is subject to a Eurodollar-Interest Period on any day other than the last day of the Eurodollar-Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntarily, pursuant to any mandatory provisions hereof, by acceleration, or otherwise); (ii) Borrowers convert or refund (or attempt to convert or refund) any such Advance on any day other than the last day of the Eurodollar-Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) Borrowers fail to borrow, refund or convert any Eurodollar-based Advance after notice has been given by Borrowers to Agent in accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Advance; or (iv) Borrowers fail to make any payment of principal in respect of a Eurodollar-based Advance when due, then the Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Lender, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred (excluding the loss of any Applicable Margin) by Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits from third parties, whether or not Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, shall have funded or committed to fund such Advance.
(b)    The amount payable under this Section 10.1 by Borrowers to Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Lender, as the case may be, shall be deemed to equal an amount equal to the

-96-


excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day of the relevant Eurodollar-Interest Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said Eurodollar-based Advance(s) provided under this Agreement, over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Agent and Lenders, as the case may be) which would have accrued to Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market. Calculation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this paragraph shall be made as though such Lender shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant Advance through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Eurodollar-Interest Period; provided, however, that any Lender may fund any Eurodollar-based Advance in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. Upon the written request of Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses, costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error.
9.12    Eurodollar Lending Office. For any Eurodollar-based Advance, if Agent or a Lender, as applicable, shall designate a Eurodollar Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of Agent or such Lender, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have the option of maintaining and carrying the relevant Advance on the books of such Eurodollar Lending Office.
9.13    Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability.
(a)    Temporary Unavailability. If Agent or the Majority Lenders (after consultation with Agent) shall determine in good faith that, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate or Daily LIBOR Rate, as applicable, then Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrowers. Thereafter, until Agent notifies Borrowers that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligation of Lenders to make Advances which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate or Daily LIBOR Rate, and the right of Borrowers to convert an Advance to or refund an Advance as an Advance which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended, (ii) effective upon the last day of each Eurodollar-Interest Period related to any existing Eurodollar-based Advance, each such Eurodollar-based Advance shall automatically be converted into an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the Base Rate (without regard to the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein), and (iii) effective immediately following such notice, each Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate or Daily LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted into an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the Base Rate (without regard to the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein).
(b)    Successor LIBOR Rate.
(v)    If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 10.3(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (B) the applicable supervisor or administrator of the

-97-


LIBOR Rate and Daily LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Daily LIBOR Rate and LIBOR Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining interest rates for loans (such specific date, the “LIBOR Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or (C) a rate other than the Daily LIBOR Rate or LIBOR Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark interest rate for newly originated loans of this type made in Dollars to borrowers domiciled in the United States, then the Agent may, in consultation with the Borrowers, select an alternate benchmark interest rate (including any credit spread or other adjustments to such alternate benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) to replace the Daily LIBOR Rate and LIBOR Rate for purposes of this Agreement (such rate, the “LIBOR Successor Rate”).
(vi)    The Agent and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith any amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary and appropriate to effectively replace the Daily LIBOR Rate and LIBOR Rate with the LIBOR Successor Rate and incorporate any LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes related thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.10, any such amendment entered into by the Agent and the Borrowers shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date that a draft of such amendment is provided to the Lenders for review, unless the Agent receives, on or before noon on such date, a written notice from the Majority Lenders that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment.
(vii)    If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the circumstances under Section 10.3(b)(i)(A) have arisen or the LIBOR Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, then (A) the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such determination, which notice may be given by telephone, and (B) until such time as a LIBOR Successor Rate has been selected and this Agreement has been amended to implement such LIBOR Successor Rate and any LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes, (1) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar-based Advances shall be suspended, (2) any Amortizing Loan Rate Request or Request for Revolving Credit Advance that requests the conversion or refunding of any Amortizing Loan or Revolving Credit Advance to a Eurodollar-based Advance, shall be ineffective, (3) if any Amortizing Loan Rate Request or Request for Revolving Credit Advance requests a Eurodollar-based Advance, such Advance shall be made as a Base Rate advance, and (4) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Swing Line Advance shall bear interest at the Base Rate.
(viii)    The LIBOR Successor Rate and any LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes shall be determined, applied and implemented in a manner that gives due consideration to the then-prevailing market practice in the United States for determining, applying and implementing benchmark interest rates for newly originated loans of this type made in Dollars to borrowers domiciled in the United States. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Agreement, no LIBOR Successor Rate selected in accordance with the foregoing shall at any time be less than 0.00% per annum.
9.14    Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective

-98-


Eurodollar Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate or Daily LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrowers and to Agent. Thereafter, (a)  the obligations of the applicable Lenders to make Advances which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate or Daily LIBOR Rate and the right of Borrowers to convert an Advance into or refund an Advance as an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended and thereafter only the Base Rate shall be available, and (b) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate or Daily LIBOR Rate, the applicable Advance shall immediately be converted to an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the Base Rate. For purposes of this Section, a Change in Law shall include, without limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the basis of a law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration presently in force, the effective date of which change is delayed by the terms of such law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration.
10.5    Increased Cost of Advances Carried at the LIBOR Rate. If, any Change in Law:
(a)    shall subject any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Advance or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on any Advance or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on an Excluded Tax of any of the Lenders or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices); or
(b)    shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) or shall impose on any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Advance;
and the result of any of the foregoing matters is to increase the costs to any of the Lenders of maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder as an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Lenders under this Agreement in respect of an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, then such Lender shall promptly notify Agent, and Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within ten (10) Business Days after such notice, Borrowers agrees to pay to such Lender or Lenders such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost or reduction, provided that each Lender agrees to take any reasonable action, to the extent such action could be taken without cost or administrative or other burden or restriction to such Lender, to mitigate or eliminate such cost or reduction, within a reasonable time after becoming aware of the foregoing matters. Agent will promptly notify Borrowers of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle Lenders to compensation pursuant to this Section, or which will cause Borrowers to incur additional liability under Section 10.1 hereof, provided that Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to the Lenders or Borrowers in the event it fails to do so. A certificate of Agent (or such Lender, if applicable) setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate

-99-


such Lender or Lenders shall accompany such demand and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct absent manifest error.
10.6    Capital Adequacy and Other Increased Costs.

(a)    If, any Change in Law, including any risk based capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by, or the liquidity requirements of, any Lender or Agent (or any corporation controlling such Lender or Agent) and such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations or Advances hereunder and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Agent’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or Advances hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Agent (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Agent to be material (collectively, "Increased Costs"), then Agent or such Lender shall notify Borrowers, and thereafter Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor from such Lender or Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Agent (or such controlling corporation) for any such reduction of return which such Lender or Agent reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations or Advances hereunder. A statement setting forth the amount of such compensation, the methodology for the calculation and the calculation thereof which shall also be prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall be submitted by such Lender or by Agent to Borrowers, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event described in this Section 10.6(a) and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct, absent manifest error.

(a)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any increased costs under Sections 10.5 and 10.6 for any period ending prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the making of a Lender’s initial request for such additional amounts unless the applicable Change in Law or other event resulting in such increased costs is effective retroactively to a date more than 180 days prior to the date of such request, in which case a Lender’s request for such additional amounts relating to the period more than 180 days prior to the making of the request must be given not more than 180 days after such Lender becomes aware of the applicable Change in Law or other event resulting in such increased costs.
10.7    Right of Lenders to Fund through Branches and Affiliates. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Advance hereunder by designating a branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided that (a) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performances of its obligations hereunder, and (b) no such designation shall result in any increased costs to Borrowers under Section 9.1, 10.5 or otherwise.

10.
AGENT.
10.11    Appointment of Agent. Each Lender and the holder of each Note (if issued) irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Lender or holder under this

-100-


Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto, including without limitation the power to execute or authorize the execution of financing or similar statements or notices, and other documents. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party.
10.12    Deposit Account with Agent or any Lender. Borrowers authorizes Agent and each Lender, in Agent’s or such Lender’s sole discretion, upon notice to the Borrowers to charge its general deposit account(s), if any, maintained with the Agent or such Lender for the amount of any principal, interest, or other amounts or costs due under this Agreement when the same become due and payable under the terms of this Agreement or the Notes.
10.13    Scope of Agent’s Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and shall not, by reason of this Agreement or otherwise, have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender (and no implied covenants or other obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Agent). None of Agent, its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto, or in connection herewith or therewith with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or all of the Lenders for those acts requiring consent of all of the Lenders) (except for its or their own willful misconduct or gross negligence), nor be responsible for or have any duties to ascertain, inquire into or verify any of the following:
(a)     any recitals or warranties made by the Credit Parties or any Affiliate of the Credit Parties, or any officer thereof contained herein or therein;
(b)     the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any document executed pursuant hereto or thereto or any security thereunder;
(c)     the performance by the Credit Parties of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder; or
(d)     the satisfaction of any condition hereunder or thereunder, including without limitation in connection with the making of any Advance or the issuance of any Letter of Credit.
Agent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice, document or other communication (including any cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile transmission or oral communication) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been sent or given by or on behalf of a proper person. Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof. Agent may employ agents and may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to the Lenders (except as to money or property received by them or their authorized agents), for the negligence or misconduct of any such agent selected by it with reasonable care or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

-101-


10.14    Successor Agent. Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least thirty (30) days' prior notice to Borrowers and each of the Lenders. If Agent at any time shall resign or if the office of Agent shall become vacant for any other reason, Majority Lenders shall, by written instrument, appoint successor agent(s) ("Successor Agent") satisfactory to such Majority Lenders and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however that any such successor Agent shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, or any Affiliate of such bank or trust company or other financial institution which is engaged in the banking business, and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Such Successor Agent shall thereupon become the Agent hereunder, as applicable, and Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any successor agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such Successor Agent may reasonably request. If a Successor Agent is not so appointed or does not accept such appointment before the resigning Agent’s resignation becomes effective, the resigning Agent may appoint a temporary successor to act until such appointment by the Majority Lenders and, if applicable, Borrowers, is made and accepted, or if no such temporary successor is appointed as provided above by the resigning Agent, the Majority Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the resigning Agent hereunder until such appointment by the Majority Lenders and, if applicable, Borrowers, is made and accepted. Such Successor Agent shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the resigning Agent as if originally named. The resigning Agent shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Successor Agent all moneys at the time held by the resigning Agent hereunder after deducting therefrom its expenses for which it is entitled to be reimbursed hereunder. Upon such succession of any such Successor Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, in its capacity as Agent hereunder, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct arising prior to its resignation hereunder, and the provisions of this Article 11 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the resigning Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.
10.15    Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of Agent and each other Lender and based on the financial statements of Borrowers and such other documents, information and investigations as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend credit hereunder from time to time. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of Agent and each other Lender and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any other document executed pursuant hereto.
10.16    Authority of Agent to Enforce This Agreement. Each Lender, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, grants the Agent full power and authority as attorney-in-fact to institute and maintain actions, suits or proceedings for the collection and enforcement of any Indebtedness outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and to file such proofs of debt or other documents as may be necessary to have the claims of the Lenders allowed in any proceeding relative to any Credit Party, or their respective creditors or affecting their respective properties, and to take such other actions which Agent considers to be necessary or desirable for

-102-


the protection, collection and enforcement of the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
10.17    Indemnification of Agent. The Lenders agree (which agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement) to indemnify the Agent and its Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers, but without limiting any obligation of Borrowers to make such reimbursement), ratably according to their respective Percentages, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of house and outside counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent and its Affiliates in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent and its Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses resulting from the Agent’s or its Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of house and outside counsel) incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Agent and its Affiliates are not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrowers, but without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to make such reimbursement. Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amounts owing to the Agent and its Affiliates by the Lenders pursuant to this Section, provided that, if the Agent or its Affiliates are subsequently reimbursed by Borrowers for such amounts, they shall refund to the Lenders on a pro rata basis the amount of any excess reimbursement. If the indemnity furnished to the Agent and its Affiliates under this Section shall become impaired as determined in the Agent’s reasonable judgment or Agent shall elect in its sole discretion to have such indemnity confirmed by the Lenders (as to specific matters or otherwise), Agent shall give notice thereof to each Lender and, until such additional indemnity is provided or such existing indemnity is confirmed, the Agent may cease, or not commence, to take any action. Any amounts paid by the Lenders hereunder to the Agent or its Affiliates shall be deemed to constitute part of the Indebtedness hereunder.
10.18    Knowledge of Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of the Agent immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received a written notice from a Lender or Borrowers specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." Upon receiving such a notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Default or Event of Default and provide each Lender with a copy of such notice and shall endeavor to provide such notice to the Lenders within three (3) Business Days (but without any liability whatsoever in the event of its failure to do so). The Agent shall also furnish the Lenders, promptly upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or other information required to be provided by Borrowers hereunder.

-103-


10.19    Agent’s Authorization; Action by Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever the Agent is authorized and empowered hereunder on behalf of the Lenders to give any approval or consent, or to make any request, or to take any other action on behalf of the Lenders (including without limitation the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the other Loan Documents), the Agent shall be required to give such approval or consent, or to make such request or to take such other action only when so requested in writing by the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable hereunder. Action that may be taken by the Majority Lenders, any other specified Percentage of the Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder) may be taken (a) pursuant to a vote of the requisite percentages of the Lenders as required hereunder at a meeting (which may be held by telephone conference call), provided that Agent exercises good faith, diligent efforts to give all of the Lenders reasonable advance notice of the meeting, or (b) pursuant to the written consent of the requisite percentages of the Lenders as required hereunder, provided that all of the Lenders are given reasonable advance notice of the requests for such consent.
10.20    Enforcement Actions by the Agent. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and subject to the terms hereof, Agent will take such action, assert such rights and pursue such remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder), shall direct; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to act or omit to act if, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent, such action or omission may expose the Agent to personal liability for which Agent has not been satisfactorily indemnified hereunder or is contrary to this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or applicable law. Except as expressly provided above or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no Lender (other than the Agent, acting in its capacity as agent) shall be entitled to take any enforcement action of any kind under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
10.21    Collateral Matters.
(c)    The Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, in its reasonable discretion, (i) to release or terminate any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Indebtedness payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (B) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction and including the property of any Subsidiary that is disposed of as permitted hereby) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (C) constituting property in which a Credit Party owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (D) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders, or all the Lenders, as the case may be, as provided in Section 12.10; and (ii) to subordinate the Lien granted to or held by Agent on any Collateral to any other holder of a Permitted Lien; and (iii) if all of the Equity

-104-


Interests held by the Credit Parties in any Person are sold or otherwise transferred to any transferee other than Borrowers or a Subsidiary of Borrowers as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to release such Person from all of its obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, under any Guaranty). Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.
10.22    Agent in its Individual Capacity. Agent and its Affiliates, successors and assigns shall each have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though such Lender were not the Agent. Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Credit Parties as if such Lender were not acting as the Agent hereunder, and may accept fees and other consideration therefor without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
10.23    Agent’s Fees. Until the Indebtedness has been repaid and discharged in full and the Commitments are terminated, Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, as applicable, any agency or other fee(s) set forth (or to be set forth from time to time) in the applicable fee letter on the terms set forth therein. The agency fees referred to in this Section shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
10.24    Documentation Agent or other Titles. Any Lender identified on the facing page or signature page of this Agreement or in any amendment hereto or as designated with consent of the Agent in any assignment agreement as Lead Arranger, Documentation Agent, Syndications Agent or any similar titles, shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement as a result of such title other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender as a result of such title.

(b)    If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrowers or the Majority Lenders shall so request, the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrowers shall provide to the Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Without limiting the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with that reflected in the audited financial statements required under Section 6.1(a) for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the parties hereto shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes, as provided for above.
11.12    Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrowers, the Agent and Lenders hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal Court or Michigan state court sitting in Detroit, Michigan in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and the Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such United States Federal Court or Michigan state court. Each Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding brought in any court in or of the State of Michigan by the delivery of copies of such process to it at the applicable addresses specified on the signature page hereto or by certified mail directed to such address or such other address as may be designated by it in a notice to the other parties that complies as to delivery with the terms of Section

-106-


12.6. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Lenders and the Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Lenders or the Agent (or any of them) to bring any such action or proceeding against any Credit Party or any of their property in the courts with subject matter jurisdiction of any other jurisdiction. Borrowers irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in the above described courts.
11.13    Law of Michigan. This Agreement, the Notes and, except where otherwise expressly specified therein to be governed by local law, the other Loan Documents, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan (without regard to its conflict of laws provisions). Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
11.14    Limitation on Interest. If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate any Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Agent or the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Agent or the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Agent or the Lenders, if applicable, of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (a) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Agent or the Lenders, and (b) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Agent or the Lenders which would constitute ''interest'' for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Agent or the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Credit Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lenders to the Borrowers. For the purpose of determining compliance with the Criminal Code (Canada), any amount or rate of interest referred 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 credit remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses 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 Restatement 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 Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.
For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), if and to the extent applicable, whenever interest is to be paid hereunder and such interest is to be calculated on the basis of a period of less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such

-107-


calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days in such period.

11.15    Closing Costs and Other Costs; Indemnification.
(c)    Borrowers shall pay or reimburse (i) Agent and its Affiliates for payment of, on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses, including, by way of description and not limitation, reasonable attorney fees of outside counsel and advances, appraisal and accounting fees, lien search fees, and required travel costs, incurred by Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the commitment, consummation and closing of the Loans contemplated hereby, or in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including the obtaining of legal advice regarding the rights and responsibilities of the parties hereto) or any refinancing or restructuring of the Loans or Advances provided under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any amendment or modification thereof requested by Borrowers, and (ii) Agent and its Affiliates and each of the Lenders, as the case may be, for all stamp and other taxes and duties payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing or recording of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omitting to pay such taxes or duties. Furthermore, all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation attorney fees, incurred by Agent and its Affiliates and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, by the Lenders in revising, preserving, protecting, exercising or enforcing any of its or any of the Lenders’ rights against Borrowers or any other Credit Party, or otherwise incurred by Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders in connection with any Event of Default or the enforcement of the Loans (whether incurred through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise), including by way of description and not limitation, such charges in any court or bankruptcy proceedings or arising out of any claim or action by any person against Agent, its Affiliates, or any Lender which would not have been asserted were it not for Agent’s or such Affiliate’s or Lender’s relationship with Borrowers hereunder or otherwise, shall also be paid by Borrowers. All of said amounts required to be paid by Borrowers hereunder and not paid forthwith upon demand, as aforesaid, shall bear interest, from the date incurred to the date payment is received by Agent, at the Base Rate, plus three percent (3%).
(d)    Borrowers agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and each of the Lenders (and their respective Affiliates) harmless from all loss, cost, damage, liability or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel and disbursements (but without duplication of such fees and disbursements for the same services), incurred by Agent and each of the Lenders by reason of an Event of Default, or enforcing the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, as applicable, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding concerning any matter growing out of or connected with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, excluding, however, any loss, cost, damage, liability or expenses to the extent arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified under this Section, provided that, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Agent and the Lenders for only a single financial consultant selected by Agent in consultation with the Lenders.

If such telephonic notice conflicts with any such confirmation, the terms of such telephonic notice shall control. Any notice given by the Agent or any Lender to the Borrowers shall be deemed to be a notice to all of the Credit Parties.

11.18    Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

-109-


(c)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.
(d)    The foregoing shall not authorize any assignment by Borrowers of its rights or duties hereunder, and, except as otherwise provided herein, no such assignment shall be made (or be effective) without the prior written approval of the Lenders.
(e)    No Lenders may at any time assign or grant participations in such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents except (i) by way of assignment to any Eligible Assignee in accordance with clause (d) of this Section, (ii) by way of a participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (e) of this Section, or (iii) by way of a pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender shall be deemed to be null and void).
(f)    Each assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(v)    Provided no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, such Lender shall have received the prior written consent of the Borrowers;
(vi)    each such assignment shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to each of the Loans, and shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (A) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or such lesser amount as the Agent shall agree, and (B) the entire remaining amount of assigning Lender’s aggregate interest in the Loans; provided however that, after giving effect to such assignment, in no event shall the entire remaining amount (if any) of assigning Lender’s aggregate interest in the Loans be less than $5,000,000; and
(vii)    the parties to any assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment Agreement substantially (as determined by Agent) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with appropriate insertions acceptable to Agent), together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in the Assignment Agreement.
Until the Assignment Agreement becomes effective in accordance with its terms, and Agent has confirmed that the assignment satisfies the requirements of this Section, the Borrowers and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned. From and after the effective date of each Assignment Agreement that satisfies the requirements of this Section, the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the right to receive fees payable hereunder in respect of the period following such assignment) and the assigning Lender shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Upon request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Agent, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to the assigning Lender pursuant

-110-


to such Assignment Agreement, and with respect to the portion of the Indebtedness retained by the assigning Lender, to the extent applicable, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by such Lender hereunder. The Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that any such new Note(s) shall be given in renewal and replacement of the Notes issued to the assigning Lender prior to such assignment and shall not effect or constitute a novation or discharge of the Indebtedness evidenced by such prior Note, and each such new Note may contain a provision confirming such agreement.
(c)    The Borrowers and the Agent acknowledge that each of the Lenders may at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, grant participations in such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder (on a pro rata basis only) and under the other Loan Documents to any Person (other than a natural person or to Borrowers or any of Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries); provided that any participation permitted hereunder shall comply with all applicable laws and shall be subject to a participation agreement that incorporates the following restrictions:
(v)    such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes hereunder (if such Notes are issued), notwithstanding any such participation;
(vi)    a participant shall not reassign or transfer, or grant any sub-participations in its participation interest hereunder or any part thereof; and
(vii)    such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Credit Parties relating to the Notes and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to proceed against any Guarantors, or cause the Agent to do so (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), and the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement without the consent of the participant (unless such participant is an Affiliate of such Lender), except for those matters covered by Section 12.10(a), clauses (i) through (v) hereof (provided that a participant may exercise approval rights over such matters only on an indirect basis, acting through such Lender and the Credit Parties, Agent and the other Lenders may continue to deal directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and duties hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the case of any participation granted by any Lender hereunder, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents against the Agent, any other Lender or any Credit Party; provided, however that the participant may have rights against such Lender in respect of such participation as may be set forth in the applicable participation agreement and all amounts payable by the Credit Parties hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Each such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.1(d) or Article 10 of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (d) of this Section, provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such the provisions of Section 9.1(d) or Article 10 than the issuing Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such issuing Lender to such participant had no such transfer occurred.
(c)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that

-111-


no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(d)    The Agent shall maintain at its principal office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Percentages of such Lenders and the principal amount of each type of Advance owing to each such Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. In connection with any assignment hereunder, Agent shall be authorized (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein) to amend Schedule 1 hereto (without any further consent by Borrowers or any Lender) to reflect the Percentages and allocations of the Lenders after giving effect to such assignment. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender (but only with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Percentages and the principal amounts owing to such Lender) upon reasonable notice to the Agent and a copy of such information shall be provided to any such party on their prior written request. The Agent shall give prompt written notice to the Borrowers of the making of any entry in the Register or any change in such entry.
(e)    Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any prospective assignee or participant which has satisfied the requirements hereunder, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Credit Parties which has been delivered to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, provided that each such prospective assignee or participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of Section 12.11 hereof or shall otherwise agree to be bound by the terms thereof.
(f)    Nothing in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees and participants permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents.
11.19    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and each executed copy shall constitute an original instrument, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Credit Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
11.20    Amendment and Waiver.
(c)    No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and the Majority Lenders (or by the Agent at the written request of the Majority Lenders) or, if this Agreement expressly so requires with respect to the subject matter thereof, by all Lenders (and, with respect to any amendments to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, by any Credit Party or the Guarantors that are

-112-


signatories thereto), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Lender or Lenders affected thereby, do any of the following:
(i)    increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder;
(ii)     reduce the principal of, or interest on, any outstanding Indebtedness or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder;
(iii)     postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any outstanding Indebtedness or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder;
(iv)     except as expressly permitted hereunder or under the Collateral Documents, release or subordinate all or substantially all of the Collateral (provided that neither Agent nor any Lender shall be prohibited thereby from proposing or participating in a consensual or nonconsensual debtor-in-possession or similar financing), or release any material guaranty provided by any Person in favor of Agent and the Lenders, provided however that Agent shall be entitled, without notice to or any further action or consent of the Lenders, to release any Collateral which any Credit Party is permitted to sell, assign or otherwise transfer in compliance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or release any guaranty to the extent expressly permitted in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (whether in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of the applicable Guarantor or otherwise);
(v)     terminate or modify any indemnity provided to the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except as shall be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(vi)     subordinate repayment of the Indebtedness to the prior repayment of other Funded Debt of Borrowers; or
(vii)     change the definitions of "Percentage," "Eurodollar-Interest Periods" (other than pursuant to the LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes), "Majority Lenders," Sections 9.2 or 9.3 hereof or this Section 12.10;
provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) the definitions of "Borrowing Base," "CA Borrowing Base," "Eligible Accounts," and "Eligible Inventory" may be changed only with the consent of all of the Lenders; and (B) no amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless in a writing signed by the Agent affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. All references in this Agreement to "Lenders" or "the Lenders" shall refer to all Lenders, unless expressly stated to refer to Majority Lenders (or the like).
The Agent shall, upon the written request of the Borrowers, execute and deliver to the Credit Parties such documents as may be necessary to evidence:

-113-


(i)     the release of any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral: (A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Indebtedness payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (B) which constitutes property (including, without limitation, Equity Interests in any Person) sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction and including the property of any Subsidiary that is disposed of as permitted hereby) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (C) which constitutes property in which a Credit Party owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (D) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders, or all the Lenders, as the case may be, as provided in this Section; or
(ii)     the release of any Person from its obligations under the Loan Documents (including without limitation the Guaranty) if all of the Equity Interests of such Person that were held by a Credit Party are sold or otherwise transferred to any transferee other than Borrowers or a Subsidiary of Borrowers as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such release or subordination agreement under clauses (i) or (ii) above on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty or such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Indebtedness or any Liens upon any Collateral retained by any Credit Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale or other disposition, all of which shall constitute and remain part of the Collateral.
11.21    Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of the Borrowers (other than to its employees, its Subsidiaries, another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or to its auditors or counsel) any information with respect to the Credit Parties which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public or has been lawfully obtained by such Lender from any third party under no duty of confidentiality to any Credit Party; (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to, or in respect to any inquiry, by, any municipal, state, provincial or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors; (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation; (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation, ruling or other requirement of law applicable to such Lender; and (e) to any prospective assignee or participant in accordance with Section 12.8 hereof.
11.22    Withholding Taxes. If any Lender is not a "united states person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Lender shall promptly (but in any event prior to the initial payment of interest hereunder or prior to its accepting any assignment under Section 12.8 hereof, as applicable) deliver to the Agent two original executed copies of (a) Internal

-114-


Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor form specifying the applicable tax treaty between the United States and the jurisdiction of such Lender’s domicile which provides for the exemption from withholding on interest payments to such Lender, (b) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor form evidencing that the income to be received by such Lender hereunder is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, or (c) other evidence satisfactory to the Agent that such Lender is exempt from United States income tax withholding with respect to such income; provided, however, that such Lender shall not be required to deliver to Agent the aforesaid forms or other evidence with respect to Advances to Borrowers, if such Lender has assigned its entire interest hereunder (including its Revolving Credit Commitment Amount, any outstanding Advances hereunder and any Notes issued to it by Borrowers), to an Affiliate which is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, and so notifies the Agent. Such Lender shall amend or supplement any such form or evidence as required to insure that it is accurate, complete and non-misleading at all times. Promptly upon notice from the Agent of any determination by the Internal Revenue Service that any payments previously made to such Lender hereunder were subject to United States income tax withholding when made, such Lender shall pay to the Agent the excess of the aggregate amount required to be withheld from such payments over the aggregate amount actually withheld by the Agent. In addition, from time to time upon the reasonable request and the sole expense of Borrowers, each Lender and the Agent shall (to the extent it is able to do so based upon applicable facts and circumstances), complete and provide Borrowers with such forms, certificates or other documents as may be reasonably necessary to allow Borrowers, as applicable, to make any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without any withholding for or on the account of any tax under Section 9.1(d) hereof (or with such withholding at a reduced rate), provided that the execution and delivery of such forms, certificates or other documents does not adversely affect or otherwise restrict the rights and benefits (including without limitation economic benefits) available to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or under or in connection with any transactions not related to the transactions contemplated hereby.
11.23    Taxes and Fees. Should any tax (other than Excluded Taxes or as a result of a Lender’s failure to comply with Section 12.12), or recording or filing fee become payable in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or supplement hereof or thereof, Borrowers agrees to pay the same, together with any interest or penalties thereon arising from Borrowers' actions or omissions, and agrees to hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless with respect thereto provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be responsible for any such interest or penalties which were incurred prior to the date that notice is given to the Credit Parties of such tax or fees.
11.24    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE BORROWERS KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. NEITHER THE LENDERS, THE AGENT NOR THE BORROWERS SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE,

-115-


ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT OR THE BORROWERS EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY ALL OF THEM.
11.25    USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
11.26    Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Legislation.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges that, pursuant to Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Legislation, the Lenders and the Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding each Borrower and Guarantor, their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of such Borrowers and Guarantors, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or Agent, in order to comply with any applicable Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. In addition, and to the extent they are required at law to do so, each of the Borrowers and Guarantors agrees to promptly comply with its obligations under Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Legislation.
(b)    If Agent has ascertained the identity of the Borrowers or Guarantors or any authorized signatories of such Persons for the purposes of applicable Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Legislation, then the Agent: (i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a "written agreement" in such regard between each Lender and the Agent within the meaning of applicable Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Legislation; and (ii) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrowers or Guarantors or any authorized signatories of such Persons on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from the Borrowers or Guarantors or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

12.17    Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert any amount owing or payable to the Agent or any Lender under this Agreement from the currency in which it is due (for the purposes of this Section 12.17, the "Agreed Currency") into a particular currency (for the purposes of this Section the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange applied in that conversion shall be that at which the Agent, in accordance with its normal procedures, could purchase the Agreed Currency with the Judgment Currency at or about noon on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrowers and the Guarantors in respect of any amount owing or payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Agent or any Lender in the Agreed Currency shall, notwithstanding any judgment and payment in the Judgment Currency, be satisfied only to the extent that the Agent, in accordance with its normal procedures, could purchase the Agreed Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency so paid at or about noon on the next Business Day following that payment; and if the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Agent could so purchase is less than the amount originally due in the Agreed Currency, each Borrower shall, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment or payment, indemnify the Agent or the applicable Lender against any loss.
12.18    Complete Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement, the Notes (if issued), and the Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto, superseding all prior agreements, discussions and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, and none of the parties shall be bound by anything not expressed in writing. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Agreement shall govern.
12.19    Severability. In case any one or more of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining obligations of the Credit Parties shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in one jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents in any other jurisdiction.
11.11    Table of Contents and Headings; Section References. The table of contents and the headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect any of the terms or provisions hereof and references herein to "sections," "subsections," "clauses," "paragraphs," "subparagraphs," "exhibits" and "schedules" shall be to sections, subsections, clauses, paragraphs, subparagraphs, exhibits and schedules, respectively, of this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided herein or unless the context otherwise clearly indicates.
11.12    Construction of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents refers to any action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person, whether or not expressly specified in such provision.
11.13    Independence of Covenants. Each covenant hereunder shall be given independent effect (subject to any exceptions stated in such covenant) so that if a particular action or condition

-117-


is not permitted by any such covenant (taking into account any such stated exception), the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default.
11.14    Effect of Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement constitutes the renewal, replacement evidence and refinancing of indebtedness of Borrowers under the Original Agreement and amends and restates the Original Agreement in its entirety. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof, they have no defense, offset, counterclaim or other claim or dispute with respect to any indebtedness or obligation incurred pursuant to such Original Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation or termination of the “Indebtedness” (as defined in the Original Agreement) under the Original Agreement as in effect prior to the Restatement Date and which remains outstanding and is in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby), except to the extent that any such indebtedness has been repaid by the Borrowers on or prior to the Restatement Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the guarantees and Liens as granted under the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Original Agreement) guaranteeing and securing payment of such “Indebtedness” are in all respects ratified and reaffirmed and are continuing and in full force and effect after giving effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) all of the terms and provisions of the Original Agreement shall continue to apply for the period prior to the Restatement Date, including any determinations of payment dates, interest rates, events of default or any amount that may be payable to the Agent or the Lenders (or their assignees or replacements hereunder), (v) the obligations under the Original Agreement shall continue to be paid or prepaid on or prior to the Restatement Date, and shall from and after the Restatement Date continue to be owing as Indebtedness hereunder and be subject to the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent that any such obligations have been repaid by the Borrowers on or prior to the Restatement Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (vi) all Liens granted in favor of the Agent or any Lender under the Original Agreement or the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Original Agreement) shall be deemed to constitute Liens granted in favor of the Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders under this Agreement, and to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing, each such Loan Document is hereby deemed amended accordingly. The Borrowers, the Agent, and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that all principal, interest, fees, costs, reimbursable expenses and indemnification obligations accruing or arising under or in connection with the Original Agreement which remain unpaid and outstanding as of the Restatement Date shall be and remain outstanding and payable as Indebtedness under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that such transfer of rights and interests shall take place among the Lenders as of the Restatement Date to give effect to the Commitments of the Lenders set forth herein and the Lenders will make such payments among themselves as directed by the Agent to give effect thereto.
11.15    Reliance on and Survival of Provisions. All terms, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Credit Parties to any of the Loan Documents made herein or in any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other document furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any Lender or on such Lender’s behalf, and those

-118-


covenants and agreements of the Borrowers set forth in Section 12.5 hereof (together with any other indemnities of any Credit Party contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents) and of Lenders set forth in Section 11.7 hereof shall survive the repayment in full of the Indebtedness and the termination of any commitment to extend credit.
11.16    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(v)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(vi)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(vii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
