THE CREDITS

Section 2.01. Term Loan Commitments.

(a) (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Order and DIP Term Sheet, each Lender made, on the Closing Date, a Closing Date Loan to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not exceeding such Lender’s Closing Date Commitment pursuant to the terms of the DIP Term Sheet, and each such Closing Date Loan is now deemed made hereunder as of such date. The aggregate amount of the Closing Date Loan made on the Closing Date and deemed made hereunder is $17,894,736.84. The Closing Date Commitments were terminated as of the funding of the Closing Date Loan on the Closing Date.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the DIP Order, each Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower, on the Effective Date, an Effective Date Loan in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such Lender’s Effective Date Commitment as indicated next to such Lender’s name on Appendix B. The aggregate amount of the Effective Date Loan to be made on the Effective Date is $11,184,210.53. The Effective Date Commitments shall terminate automatically immediately after the making of the Effective Date Loan on the Effective Date.

(iii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the DIP Order, each Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower, on the Final Order Entry Date, a Final Loan in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such Lender’s Final Commitment as indicated next to such Lender’s name on Appendix C. The aggregate amount of the Final Loan to be made on the Final Order Entry Date is $13,421,052.63.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Delayed Draw Term Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower at any time during the Delayed Draw Term Loan Availability Period one or more loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such Delayed Term Lender’s Delayed Draw Commitment as indicated next to such Lender’s name on Appendix D (provided, that (x) the amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans requested by the Borrower at any time shall not exceed the aggregate amount of unfunded Delayed Draw Term Commitments at such time and (y) no more than three (3) Borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be permitted hereunder unless the Term Lenders holding the Delayed Draw Term Commitments otherwise consent).

(c) The Initial Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans are sometimes referred to individually as a “Term Loan” and together as the “Term Loans”.

32

(d) Closing Date Loans, Effective Date Loans, Final Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans which are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. All Term Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder and under any of Loan Document with respect to the Term Loans shall be paid in full in cash not later than the Maturity Date; provided that no prepayment, repayment, repurchase, or exchange of borrowings under the Junior DIP Facility shall occur until all B-2 Obligations have first been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any such prepayment, repayment, repurchase or exchange shall otherwise be consistent with the priorities for liens and claims securing the Junior DIP Facility as set forth in the DIP Order and the Canadian DIP Recognition Order.

Section 2.02. Loans.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

(b) The Borrower may only request Effective Date Loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Effective Date Commitment. The Borrower may only request Final Loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Final Commitment. The Borrower may only request Delayed Draw Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Delayed Draw Term Commitment.

(c) Each Borrowing of Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans.

(d) Each Lender shall make (i) each remaining Initial Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Effective Date and/or the Final Order Entry Date, as applicable, and (ii) each Delayed Draw Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on each Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and upon receipt of all requested funds the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to the DIP Proceeds Account.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (d) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, two (2) Business Days before such proposed Borrowing. Each such Request for Credit Extension shall be irrevocable (but may be conditioned upon the prepayment of indebtedness or the consummation of a

33

specified transaction) and shall specify the following information: (i) the Class of Loans to be borrowed; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the wire instructions for the DIP Proceeds Account to which such funds shall be delivered and (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Request for Credit Extension, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02 and shall be subject to satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the Class thereof, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms and (ii) in the event of any conflict between the accounts set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the amounts set forth in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) shall prevail.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a Term Note or a Delayed Draw Term Note, as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note or a Delayed Draw Term Note, as applicable, payable to such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive a Term Note or a Delayed Draw Term Note, as applicable, the interests represented by such Term Note or Delayed Draw Term Note, as applicable, shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein, unless such Term Note or Delayed Draw Term Note, as applicable, is duly cancelled.

(f) This Section 2.04 shall at all times be interpreted and administered in such a way that the Term Notes or the Delayed Draw Term Notes, as applicable, will be issued in “registered form” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.163-1(a).

Section 2.05. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to (i) the Agents, for their own account, the administrative agent and collateral agent fees applicable to the Facilities payable in the amounts and at the times agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent as set forth in the Agency Fee Letter, (ii) the

34

Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders according to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Initial Term Loans, a fee (the “Closing Fee”) to be fully earned as of the Closing Date and due and payable on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to 4.00% of the aggregate amount of Initial Term Commitments as of the Closing Date prior to the making of the Closing Date Loans and (iii) the Lenders, according to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, an exit fee (the “DDTL Exit Fee”), to be earned, due and payable on the Exit Date, equal to 7.50% per annum multiplied by the aggregate amount of Delayed Draw Term Loans drawn hereunder (the fees pursuant to the foregoing subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this clause (a), the “Fees”).

(b) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Closing Fee shall payable on the Maturity Date only if the B-2 Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash prior to the payment of such Closing Fee. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.06. Interest on Loans.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, (i) the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Initial Term Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 15.00%. For the avoidance of doubt, no date of payment shall be included in the calculation of fees or interest.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in cash on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.07. Default Interest. Automatically from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter, after as well as before judgment, bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws) payable on written demand at a rate that is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder).

Section 2.08. [Reserved].

Section 2.09. [Reserved].

Section 2.10. [Reserved].

Section 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings. Subject to the Senior ICA Provisions and the terms and priorities set forth in the DIP Order, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Term Lenders on the Maturity Date, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid (to, but excluding, the date of such payment) and all fees and expenses payable under the Loan Documents and other outstanding Obligations, after the B-2 Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be without premium or penalty.

35

Section 2.12. Voluntary Prepayment; Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Subject to the Senior ICA Provisions and the terms and priorities set forth in the DIP Order, the Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay the Term Loans in full or in part, in each case without premium or penalty, after the B-2 Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The Borrower shall provide written (email) notice to the Administrative Agent of such prepayment at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment, before 1:00 p.m., New York City time.

(b) Such notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the principal amount of the Term Loans (or portion thereof) to be prepaid on the date stated therein; provided, however, that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of a sale transaction or any other specified event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment and all fees, expenses and other outstanding Obligations.

(c) The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate any unused Delayed Draw Term Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Delayed Draw Term Commitments, in each case without premium or penalty.

Section 2.13. [Reserved].

Section 2.14. Pro Rata Treatment. Each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans); provided that the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower required to be made on a non pro rata basis pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

Section 2.15. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable Debtor Relief Laws or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other

36

event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant in accordance with the terms herein. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.16. Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts due and payable) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Subject to the Senior ICA Provisions, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

Section 2.17. Currency Indemnity. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Lenders are able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice at its head office in New York. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount due, the Borrower shall, on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Administrative Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Loan Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which the Lenders are so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the Borrower shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the

37

Administrative Agent from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or under any judgment or order.

ARTICLE 3

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01. Taxes.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments made by or on account of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document to any Lender or Agent shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, withholdings (including backup withholding), fees or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority including interest, penalties and additions to tax (collectively “Taxes”), excluding (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, however denominated, and franchise (and similar) Taxes imposed on such Lender or Agent in lieu of net income Taxes, (ii) Taxes attributable to the failure by the relevant Lender or Agent to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 3.01, (iii) Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of any connection between such Lender or Agent and such jurisdiction other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being a party to, engaging in any transactions pursuant to, performing its obligations under, or enforcing any Loan Document, (iv) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States or any similar Tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Borrower or any Guarantor (as appropriate) is located, (v) any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed on amounts payable hereunder pursuant to a law in effect at such time the Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office, except in each case to the extent such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 3.01(a) and (vi) any withholding Tax imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes imposed on such payments, being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower, any Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholding (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), if the Borrower or any Guarantor is the applicable withholding agent, the applicable withholding agent shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence acceptable to such Agent or Lender.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other intangible recording taxes, or charges or levies of the same character, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Agent’s or Lender’s transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable lending office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “Assignment Taxes”) except for Assignment Taxes resulting from any assignment or participation that is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

38

(c) Without duplication of Section 3.01(a) or (b), the Borrower and each Guarantor agree to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Agent or Lender (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01(c)) and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides Borrower or Guarantor with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts.

(d) Each Lender and Agent shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender or Agent to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Each such Lender and Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this clause (d) (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.01(d)(i), 3.01(d)(ii) and 3.01(g)) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. In addition, each Lender and Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the foregoing:

(i) Each Lender and Agent that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) is exempt from federal backup withholding.

(ii) Each Lender and Agent that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code,

(e) Any Lender or Agent claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall use its reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its lending office (or take any other measures reasonably requested by the Borrower) if such a change or other measures would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the reasonable, good faith determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable, good faith discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01) it shall promptly remit such refund to the Borrower or Guarantor, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by any Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the Borrower and Guarantors, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. This section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender or Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the

Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Each Lender shall indemnify each Agent, within 10 days following written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that such Agent has not already been indemnified by the Borrower and each Guarantor for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and each Guarantor to do so) that are payable or paid by such Agent in connection with any Loan Documents, and any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that such Agent provides such Lender with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts.

Section 3.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Closing Date, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any material increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans, or a material reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.03(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts are payable pursuant to Section 3.01, or any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exception (iii) thereof to the extent such Taxes are imposed on or measured by net income or profits or are franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of the foregoing taxes) and any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exceptions (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) thereof or (ii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.03(c)) and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its obligations to make any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after written demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such written demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.05), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Lender (or its lending office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon written demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such written demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.05), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or controlling entity for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written demand.

41

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give written notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such written notice.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.03, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.03(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(a), (b), (c) or (d).

Section 3.04. [Reserved].

Section 3.05. Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable and customary averaging and attribution methods.

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.03, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) [Reserved].

(e) Pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) and 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and the DIP Order (and, in the case of the Canadian Collateral, the applicable Canadian Orders), all Obligations relating to or arising under the Initial Term Loans are secured by a Lien on the B-2 Priority Collateral that is junior to the B-2 Secured Parties’ Lien on such Collateral, including any B-2 Adequate Protections Liens (as defined in the DIP Order), but senior to the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties’ and UST Secured Parties’ Lien on such Collateral, subject to the Carve-Out and the Canadian Priority Charges pursuant to the applicable Canadian Orders to the extent set forth in the Canadian DIP Recognition Order and the other applicable Canadian Orders.

(f) Pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and the DIP Order (and, in the case of the Canadian Collateral, the applicable Canadian Orders), all Obligations relating to or arising under the Initial Term Loans are secured by junior Liens on the Collateral securing the obligations of the Prepetition Secured Parties (other than as expressly set forth above with respect to the B-2 Priority Collateral); provided, however, that such Lien on any Canadian Collateral is also junior to the Canadian Priority Charges and, for greater certainty, the Canadian DIP Charge does not apply to the Prepetition UST Tranche B Priority Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or in the other Loan Documents or the DIP Order to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Liens and Claims in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Commitment shall be junior and subordinated (including in right of payment) in all respects to the Liens and Claims (including any adequate protections Liens and Claims) of the Prepetition Secured Parties and to the Liens and Claims of the B-2 Lenders and B-2 Agent under the Postpetition B-2 Loan Documents, including, for the avoidance of doubt,

51

to the payment and enforcement of rights of each of the B-2 Secured Parties, the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties and the UST Secured Parties, which rights with respect to the B-2 Secured Parties shall be consistent with and no less favorable than those set forth in the Postpetition B-2 Loan Documents, the Prepetition B-2 Loan Documents and the DIP Order.

ARTICLE 9

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article 9, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental or related thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Lenders, which

77

negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender. The institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. The Agents shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any Loan Party that is communicated or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any of their Affiliates in any capacity.

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action nor any omission to act, taken by either Agent at the direction of the Lenders shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Default unless and until written notice thereof, conspicuously labeled as a “notice of default” and specifically describing such Event of Default or Default, is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the arrangement of the Facilities as well as activities as Agent.

78

Either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower in writing, and either Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and such Agent and signed by the Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lenders shall have the right, without the consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after (i) the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or (ii) the Lenders deliver removal instructions, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding, such Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective and the Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of its predecessor Agent, and its predecessor Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that Alter Domus Products Corp. or one or more of its Affiliates may (but is not obligated to) act as collateral agent or representative for the holders of B-2 Indebtedness and/or under the collateral agreements with respect thereto. Each Lender waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against Alter Domus Products Corp. or any of its Affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

In case of the pendency of any case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or other similar law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Agents under Section 2.05, Section 3.01, and Section 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, interim receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agents any amount due for

79

the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Agents under Section 2.05 and Section 10.05. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the termination of the Loan Documents, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by fax or on the date three Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 10.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 10.01. As agreed to among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such Person.

The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Lenders or Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article 6, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Request for Credit Extension or a notice pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, or (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do

81

not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees (w) to use commercially reasonable effort to make all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders clearly and conspicuously “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents, (2) financial statements and related documentation, in each case, provided pursuant to Section 6.01 and (3) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S OR ITS RELATED PARTIES’ GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BAD FAITH, IN EACH CASE, AS DETERMINED BY THE FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the

82

Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 10.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf or that any Agent or Lender may have had notice of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Section 3.01, Section 3.03 Article 9 and Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

Section 10.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, each other Loan Party hereto on the Closing Date and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

Section 10.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(b) The Commitments of the Lenders described herein and the Loans issued hereunder may not be assigned by the Lenders and the Lenders may not sell or grant participations in the Loans or Commitments. No Lender shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and the interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a

83

Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. This Section 10.04(c) shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).

(d) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

Section 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees (i) promptly following (and in any event within the period set forth in the DIP Order) written demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) therefor, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the documented fees and expenses of Holland & Knight LLP, Ropes & Gray LLP and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the DIP Term Sheet, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including Attorney Costs which in the case of the Agents, shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Agents and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the Agents) and (ii) from and after the Closing Date, promptly following (and in any event within the period set forth in the DIP Order) written demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) therefor, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender promptly following written demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the documented fees and expenses of Holland & Knight LLP, Ropes & Gray LLP and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP) incurred in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any rights or remedies under the DIP Term Sheet, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including Attorney Costs). To the extent otherwise reimbursable by the foregoing sentence of this section, the foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording, title insurance, survey, environmental, property condition report and zoning report charges and fees related thereto, and other reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by any Agent. The foregoing costs and expenses shall also include all recording and filing fees charged by governmental authorities to record and/or file Collateral Documents.

(b)  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (or the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and members of each of the foregoing) (each an “Agent Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Agent Indemnitees”) and each Lender and their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (or the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and members of each of the foregoing) (each a “Lender Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Lender Indemnitees”; together with, the Agent Indemnitees, collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actual losses, damages, claims, liabilities and reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one outside counsel for the Agent Indemnitees and Attorney Costs of one outside counsel for the Lender Indemnitees (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of any actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each type

84

of similarly situated affected Indemnitees)) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee or Lender Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property, vehicle or facility currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Agent Indemnitee or Lender Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or equityholders in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of any such Agent Indemnitee or Lender Indemnitee; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) any dispute solely among the Indemnitees other than (1) any claim against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or similar role and (2) any claim arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. No Indemnitee or any other party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement except to the extent that such damages resulted from the (A) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the material breach by such Indemnitee of its or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee’s obligations under the Loan Documents, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the case of a claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, any Loan Party’s directors, stockholders or creditors or other Affiliates or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent the Agent Indemnitees are not reimbursed and indemnified by the Loan Parties, and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so, the Lenders shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent Indemnities, based on and to the extent of such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in the performance by the Agents in its duties under the Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from any Agent Indemnitees gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Loan Parties, each Lender shall pay or reimburse the Agent

85

Indemnitees based on and to the extent of such Lender’s pro rata share of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses reimbursable pursuant to Section 10.05, incurred in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs). For purposes hereof, if the Term Loans have been paid in full prior to such determination pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then each such Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined as of the last date the Term Loans were in effect immediately prior to such payment in full. The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the termination of the Loan Documents, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee and (ii) no Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Loan Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the DIP Term Sheet, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that the foregoing shall in no event limit the Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations under clause (b) above.

(e) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

Section 10.06. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates (and the Agents, in respect of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder) is authorized at any time and from time to time (with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent), without prior notice to any Loan Party, any such notice being waived by each Loan Party (on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than payroll accounts, trust and tax accounts, escrow accounts, employee benefits accounts or petty cash accounts) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all matured Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and such Lender may have at Law.

Section 10.07. Applicable Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, except to the extent New York law is superseded by the Bankruptcy Code.

86

Section 10.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders.

Section 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Agency Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Lenders, Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

87

Section 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

90

had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

Each Lender and any of its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any of its Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement, the Facilities, the commitment letter or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Lender, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing.

Section 10.23. Release. Each of the Loan Parties and each of their estates, on its own behalf and on behalf of its and their respective predecessors, successors, heirs, and past, present and future subsidiaries and assigns, hereby absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably releases and forever discharges and acquits the Secured Parties and each of their respective Related Parties (solely in their capacities as such) (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all liability to the Loan Parties (and their successors and assigns) and from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, defenses, offsets, debts, accounts, contracts, liabilities, actions and causes of action of any kind, nature and description, whether matured or unmatured, known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, accrued or unaccrued, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, pending or threatened, arising in law or equity, in contract or tort, in each case arising out of or related to the Loan Documents, the Loans, the negotiation thereof, and the transactions and agreements reflected thereby, that the Debtors at any time had, now have or may have, or that their predecessors, successors or assigns at any time had or hereafter may have against any of the Released Parties for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, or cause arising at any time on or prior to the date of this Agreement; provided that the release set forth in this section shall not release (i) any claims against or liabilities of a Released Party that a court of competent jurisdiction determines by a final non-appealable order to have directly and primarily resulted from such Released Party’s bad faith, fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or (ii) any Secured Party from honoring its/their obligations to the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents.

(with the power to delegate any such rights or duties). The execution prior to the date hereof by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the Hypothecary Representative of any deed of hypothec or other security documents made pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, is hereby ratified and confirmed. Any Person who becomes a Lender or successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Administrative Agent as the Hypothecary Representative on behalf of all Secured Parties, including such Person and any Affiliate of such Person designated above as a Lender. For greater certainty, the Administrative Agent, acting as the Hypothecary Representative, shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. In the event of the resignation of the Administrative Agent (which shall include its resignation as the Hypothecary Representative) and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall also act as the Hypothecary Representative, as contemplated above.

ARTICLE 11

GUARANTEE

Section 11.01. The Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective permitted successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of (i) Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code and (ii) any other Debtor Relief Laws, whether or not such items are allowed or allowable as a claim in any applicable proceeding) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Term Notes or Delayed Draw Term Notes (if any) issued hereunder and held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any other Loan Party under any Loan Document strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 11.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under this Agreement, any Term Notes or Delayed Draw Term Notes, as applicable, issued under this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, to the extent permitted by Law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

93

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Term Notes or the Delayed Draw Term Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(e) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.10.

Section 11.03. Certain Waivers, Etc. The Guarantors hereby expressly waive (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by Law, all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement, the Term Notes or the Delayed Draw Term Notes issued hereunder, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and permitted assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding. Each Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by Law) any rights and defenses that are or may become available to it by reason of §§ 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and §§ 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code. As provided in Section 10.07, the provisions of this Article 11 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The foregoing waivers and the provisions hereinafter set forth in this Article 11 which pertain to California law are included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Article 11, to any other provision of this Agreement or to the Obligations.

Section 11.04. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article 11 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

94

Section 11.05. Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement, it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation, contribution or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party to any Person that is not a Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 7.03(b) or 7.03(d) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Obligations in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lenders.

Section 11.06. Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Term Notes or the Delayed Draw Term Notes issued hereunder, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.02) for purposes of Section 11.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01, subject to the terms and conditions of the DIP Order, the applicable Canadian Orders, the Senior ICA Provisions and the Prepetition ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 11.07. Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article 11 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Secured Party or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

Section 11.08. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article 11 is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 11.09. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, provincial, territorial, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.11) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 11.10. Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred to a Person or Persons none of which is a Loan Party (any such Guarantor, a “Transferred Guarantor”), such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer or other transaction, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.05 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Collateral Document and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released, and, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect

95

each release described in this Section 11.10 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Collateral Documents; provided, that no Guarantor shall be released as provided in this paragraph if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any Prepetition Indebtedness.

When all Commitments hereunder have terminated, and all Loans or other Obligations hereunder which are accrued and payable have been paid or satisfied, this Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall automatically terminate with respect to all Obligations, except with respect to Obligations that expressly survive such repayment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.11. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.05. The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 11.12. Additional Guarantor Waivers and Agreements.

(a) Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that such Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from the Borrower or others based on any right such Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under the Guaranty. Each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this paragraph, such potential impairment or destruction of such Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968). By executing this Guaranty, each Guarantor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives (to the extent permitted by Law) and relinquishes that defense and agrees that such Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty even though the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust securing the Obligations; (ii) agrees that such Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may commence to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by such Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or defense that such Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of §§ 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or § 2848 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties are relying on this waiver in creating the Obligations, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which the Secured Parties are receiving for creating the Obligations.

(b) Each Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because any of the Obligations is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by the other Loan Parties; and (ii) if the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party forecloses on any real property Collateral pledged by the other Loan Parties: (A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may collect from such Guarantor even if the Secured Parties, by foreclosing on the real property Collateral, have

96

destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Guarantor may have because any of the Obligations is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon § 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

(c) Each Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by Law) any right or defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure § 580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.

For the avoidance of doubt, the administrative expense claims of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be junior in all respects to the administrative expenses claims of the B-2 Secured Parties in respect of the Postpetition B-2 Obligations (other than solely with respect to proceeds in the DIP Proceeds Account, with respect to which the administrative expense claims of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be pari passu with those B-2 Secured Parties).

(ii) the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders set forth in Section 13.04, the DIP Order and the Canadian DIP Recognition Order shall constitute valid and perfected Liens and security interests, with the priority as set forth in the DIP Order (and with respect to the Canadian Collateral, with the priority as set forth in the applicable Canadian Orders), and shall be prior to all other Liens and security interests, now existing or hereafter arising, in favor of any other creditor or any other Person whatsoever (other than the Carve-Out and the Canadian Priority Charges), in each case subject to and in accordance with the DIP Order and the applicable Canadian Orders; and
