delivery thereof until five Business Days after such certificate is delivered; provided further that, if any calculation of the Leverage Ratio is at any time restated or otherwise revised or if the information set forth in any such certificate otherwise proves to be false or incorrect such that the Applicable Rate would have been higher than was otherwise in effect during any period, without constituting a waiver of any Default or Event of Default arising as a result thereof, interest due under this Agreement shall be immediately recalculated at such higher rate for any such applicable periods and shall be due and payable on demand.

Canadian Administrative Agent, Loans to the Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars or dollars, on behalf of the Canadian Lenders (each such Loan, a “Canadian Protective Advance”), which the Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents; provided that, (x) the aggregate amount of U.S. Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000 and (y) the aggregate amount of Canadian Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000; provided further that, (1) the aggregate amount of outstanding U.S. Protective Advances in favor of the U.S. Borrowers plus the aggregate U.S. Revolving Exposure shall not exceed (I) the aggregate U.S. Commitments minus (II) the sum of (X) the Priority Payables Reserve, (Y) the Rent Reserve and (Z) the Wage Earner Protection Act Reserve, (2) the aggregate amount of outstanding Canadian Protective Advances in favor of the Canadian Borrower plus the aggregate Canadian Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the (I) aggregate Canadian Commitments minus (II) the sum of (X) the Priority Payables Reserve, (Y) the Rent Reserve and (Z) the Wage Earner Protection Act Reserve, (3) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Protective Advances plus the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed (I) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments minus (II) the sum of (X) the Priority Payables Reserve, (Y) the Rent Reserve and (Z) the Wage Earner Protection Act Reserve, (4) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Protective Advances plus (II) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Overadvances shall not exceed $40,000,000, and (5) a Protective Advance shall not be made if such Protective Advance would cause the sum of (I) any Lender’s Revolving Exposure plus (II) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined for purposes of this clause (II) in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of Applicable Percentage set forth in Section 1.01) of all outstanding Protective Advances to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The (i) U.S. Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) in and to the Collateral of the U.S. Loan Parties; and (ii) Canadian Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Canadian Lender Parties) in and to the Collateral of the Loan Parties. All U.S. Protective Advances shall constitute U.S. Obligations and all Canadian Protective Advances shall constitute Canadian Obligations. All U.S. Protective Advances and Canadian Protective Advances denominated in dollars shall be ABR Borrowings, and all Canadian Protective Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s or Canadian Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Canadian Administrative Agent’s (as applicable) receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient: (I) U.S. Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the U.S. Lenders to make a U.S. Revolving Loan to repay a U.S. Protective Advance; and (II) Canadian Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Canadian Administrative Agent may request the Canadian Lenders to make a Canadian Revolving Loan, in the currency in which the applicable Canadian Protective Advance was denominated, to repay a Canadian Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent (as applicable) may require the Lenders to fund, in the currency in which the applicable Protective Advance was denominated, their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b).

(b) Upon the making of a U.S. Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each U.S. Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such U.S. Protective

Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. Upon the making of a Canadian Protective Advance by the Canadian Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Canadian Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Canadian Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Canadian Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in respect of such Protective Advance.

To request a Canadian Swingline Loan, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Canadian Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or electronic mail), not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the day of a proposed Canadian Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Canadian Swingline Loan.

Funding Account(s) of the Canadian Borrower (or, in the case of a Canadian Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Canadian Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.18(c), by remittance to the Canadian Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Canadian Lenders) by 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the requested date of such Canadian Swingline Loan.

(c) The U.S. Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on any Business Day require the U.S. Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the U.S. Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of U.S. Swingline Loans in which U.S. Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each U.S. Lender, specifying in such notice such U.S. Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such U.S. Swingline Loan or Loans. Each U.S. Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the U.S. Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such U.S. Swingline Loan or Loans. Each U.S. Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in U.S. Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each U.S. Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the U.S. Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the U.S. Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the U.S. Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative of any participations in any U.S. Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such U.S. Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the U.S. Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the U.S. Swingline Lender from the U.S. Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the U.S. Borrowers) in respect of a U.S. Swingline Loan after receipt by the U.S. Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the U.S. Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the U.S. Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the U.S. Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a U.S. Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a U.S. Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a U.S. Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such U.S. Swingline Loan was made and such U.S. Lender shall have notified the U.S. Swingline Lender in writing, at least one Business Day prior to the time such U.S. Swingline Loan was made, that such Event of Default has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in U.S. Swingline Loans made while such Event of Default is continuing.

(d) The Canadian Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Canadian Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on any Business Day require the Canadian Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Canadian Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Canadian Swingline Loans in which Canadian Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Canadian Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Canadian Lender, specifying in such notice such Canadian Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Canadian Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Canadian Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to

the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of the Canadian Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Canadian Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Canadian Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Canadian Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Canadian Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Canadian Lenders), and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Canadian Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Canadian Lenders. The Canadian Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative of any participations in any Canadian Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Canadian Swingline Loan shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Agent and not to the Canadian Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Canadian Swingline Lender from the Canadian Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Canadian Borrower) in respect of a Canadian Swingline Loan after receipt by the Canadian Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Canadian Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Canadian Administrative Agent to the Canadian Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Canadian Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Canadian Swingline Lender or to the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Canadian Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Canadian Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a Canadian Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Canadian Swingline Loan was made and such Canadian Lender shall have notified the Canadian Swingline Lender in writing, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Canadian Swingline Loan was made, that such Event of Default has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in Canadian Swingline Loans made while such Event of Default is continuing.

(e) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make U.S. Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrowers, on behalf of the U.S. Lenders, in amounts that exceed U.S. Availability (any such excess U.S. Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “U.S. Overadvances”); provided that, no U.S. Overadvance shall result in a Default due to U.S. Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such U.S. Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such U.S. Overadvance. In addition, U.S. Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied, it being understood that the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.02(a), (b) and (d) shall continue to apply (subject to the proviso set forth in the immediately preceding sentence). All U.S. Overadvances shall constitute ABR Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make U.S. Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 at any time, no U.S. Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than forty-five (45) days, no U.S. Overadvance shall cause any U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolving Exposure or Revolving Exposure to exceed its U.S. Commitment or Revolving Commitment (as applicable), no U.S. Overadvance shall cause the Aggregate Revolving Exposure to exceed (i) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments minus (ii) the sum of (A) the Priority Payables Reserve, (B) the Rent Reserve and (C) the Wage Earner Protection Act Reserve and no U.S. Overadvance shall cause the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Overadvances plus (y) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Protective Advances to exceed $40,000,000; provided that, the Supermajority Revolving Lenders may at any time

revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make U.S. Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(f) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Canadian Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrower, on behalf of the Canadian Lenders, in amounts that exceed Canadian Availability (any such excess Canadian Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “Canadian Overadvances”); provided that, no Canadian Overadvance shall result in a Default due to Canadian Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Canadian Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such Canadian Overadvance. In addition, Canadian Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied, it being understood that the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.02(a), (b) and (d) shall continue to apply (subject to the proviso set forth in the immediately preceding sentence). All Canadian Overadvances shall constitute ABR Borrowings or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings. The authority of the Canadian Administrative Agent to make Canadian Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 at any time, no Canadian Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than forty-five (45) days, no Canadian Overadvance shall cause any Canadian Lender’s Canadian Revolving Exposure or Revolving Exposure to exceed its Canadian Commitment or Revolving Commitment (as applicable), no Canadian Overadvance shall cause the Aggregate Revolving Exposure to exceed (i) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments minus (ii) the sum of (A) the Priority Payables Reserve, (B) the Rent Reserve and (C) the Wage Earners Protection Act Reserve, and no Canadian Overadvance shall cause the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Overadvances plus (y) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Protective Advances to exceed $40,000,000; provided that, the Supermajority Revolving Lenders may at any time revoke the Canadian Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Canadian Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Canadian Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(g) Upon the making of a U.S. Overadvance by the Administrative Agent, each U.S. Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such U.S. Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate U.S. Commitments. The Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the U.S. Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any U.S. Lender is required to fund its participation in any U.S. Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan.

The Canadian Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Canadian Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Canadian Lender is required to fund its participation in any Canadian Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Canadian Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan.

(i) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, on behalf of the U.S. Swingline Lender or the Canadian Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall request

settlement (a “Settlement”) with the U.S. Lenders or Canadian Lenders, as applicable, on at least a weekly basis or on any more frequent date that the Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, elects, by notifying the applicable Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or electronic mail no later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). With respect to Settlements involving U.S. Loans, each U.S. Lender (other than the U.S. Swingline Lender, in the case of the U.S. Swingline Loans) shall transfer in dollars the amount of such U.S. Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to an account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than noon, Chicago time, on such Settlement Date. With respect to Settlements involving Canadian Loans, each Canadian Lender (other than the Canadian Swingline Lender, in the case of the Canadian Swingline Loans) shall transfer, in the currency in which the applicable Loan was denominated, the amount of such Canadian Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Canadian Administrative Agent, to an account of the Canadian Administrative Agent as the Canadian Administrative Agent may designate, not later than noon, Chicago time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to: (i) the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the U.S. Swingline Lender’s U.S. Swingline Loans and, together with U.S. Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such U.S. Swingline Loan, shall constitute U.S. Revolving Loans of such U.S. Lenders, respectively; and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Canadian Swingline Lender’s Canadian Swingline Loans and, together with Canadian Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Canadian Swingline Loan, shall constitute Canadian Revolving Loans of such Canadian Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit (denominated in dollars or in an LC Alternative Currency in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit and denominated in dollars or Canadian Dollars in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit) for its own account or for the account of another Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit, and the Canadian Administrative Agent in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period; provided that if the account party for any such Letter of Credit is not a Borrower, a U.S. Borrower, in the case of an account party which is a Domestic Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary, or the Canadian Borrower, in the case of an account party which is a Canadian Subsidiary, shall be a co-applicant with respect to such Letter of Credit and shall be jointly and severally liable with such Subsidiary for all reimbursement and other obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent and Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans, or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan (but shall be a Secured Obligation) and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The U.S. Borrowers shall, upon demand from any Issuing Bank or any U.S. Lender, pay to such Issuing Bank or such U.S. Lender, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by such Issuing Bank or such U.S. Lender, (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Issuing Bank or such U.S. Lender, (iii) any currency exchange loss, in each case with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), that such Issuing Bank or such U.S. Lender sustains as a result of the U.S. Borrowers’ repayment in dollars of any U.S. Letter of Credit that was denominated in an LC Alternative Currency or (iv) any interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by such Issuing Bank as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the Euro in any member state participating in the Euro. A

certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Bank shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The joint and several obligations of U.S. Borrowers to reimburse LC Disbursements and the obligation of Canadian Borrower to reimburse LC Disbursements on account of Canadian Letters of Credit, in each case, as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit), the Canadian Administrative Agent (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit) and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or electronic mail) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(i) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC

Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum (i) then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans in the case of LC Disbursements made in dollars; (ii) then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Loans in the case of LC Disbursements made in Canadian Dollars; and (iii) equal to the Overnight LIBO Rate plus the Overnight LIBO Spread as set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” in the case of LC Disbursements made in an LC Alternative Currency; provided that, if the applicable Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(f) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank to be replaced and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(k) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, (i) the U.S. Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lender Parties (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the U.S. LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; and (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Canadian Lender Parties (the “Canadian LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Canadian LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (k) or (l) of Article VII. Such deposits shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in the case of deposits in the LC Collateral Account, and the Canadian Secured Obligations in the case of deposits in the Canadian LC Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such accounts; and (x) the U.S. Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) a security interest in the LC Collateral Account and (y) the Canadian Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Canadian Lender Parties) a security interest in the Canadian LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not

been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Required Lenders), be applied, in the case of moneys in the LC Collateral Account, to satisfy other Secured Obligations or, in the case of moneys in the Canadian LC Collateral Account, to satisfy other Canadian Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(l) Treatment of Existing Letters of Credit. On the Effective Date, (i) each Existing U.S. Letter of Credit, to the extent outstanding, shall automatically and without further action by the parties thereto be deemed converted into a U.S. Letter of Credit under this Agreement (as reflected on Schedule 2.06) and each Existing Canadian Letter of Credit, to the extent outstanding, shall automatically and without further action by the parties thereto be deemed converted into a Canadian Letter of Credit under this Agreement (as reflected on Schedule 2.06), in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.06 and subject to the provisions hereof as if each such Existing U.S. Letter of Credit and each Existing Canadian Letter of Credit had been issued on the Effective Date, (ii) each Existing U.S. Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of U.S. LC Exposure and each Existing Canadian Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of Canadian LC Exposure, and (iii) all liabilities of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations.

SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the account of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s); provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, to the applicable Issuing Bank, (ii) a U.S. Protective Advance or a U.S. Overadvance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) a Canadian Protective Advance or a Canadian Overadvance shall be retained by the Canadian Administrative Agent. U.S. Loans and participations in U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. Letters of Credit will be funded by each U.S. Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Commitments. Canadian Loans and participations in Canadian Swingline Loans and Canadian Letters of Credit will be funded by each Canadian Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Canadian Commitments.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative

Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of either the Federal Funds Effective Rate (in the case of dollar denominated amounts) or the Canadian Administrative Agent’s cost of funds (in the case of Canadian Dollar denominated amounts) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of dollar denominated amounts), or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Dollar denominated amounts). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing, provided that a Borrowing in one currency may only be converted to another Type of Borrowing denominated in the same currency as the Borrowing to be so converted. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the (i) Administrative Agent, with respect to each U.S. Revolving Loan, and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) with respect to any Canadian Revolving Loan, of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic mail delivery to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), as applicable, of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and signed by the Borrower Representative.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the name of the applicable Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the currency in which such Borrowing is to be funded;

(iv) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, a CDOR Rate Borrowing, or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(v) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s (or, in the case of a CDOR Rate Borrowing, 30 days’) duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request by (i) the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall advise each U.S. Lender of the details thereof and of such U.S. Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing, and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall advise each Canadian Lender of the details thereof and of such Canadian Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing of either U.S. Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in dollars. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as a Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing of U.S. Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(f) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a CDOR Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as a Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a CDOR Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing of the same class at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. For clarification, all U.S. Commitments and Canadian Commitments, as sub-facilities of the Revolving Commitments, shall terminate upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Revolving Commitments upon (i) the payment in full in cash of all outstanding U.S. Loans, in the case of the U.S. Commitment, and Canadian Loans, in the case of the Canadian Commitment, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any U.S. Letters of Credit, in the case of the U.S. Commitment, and Canadian Letters of Credit, in the case of the Canadian Commitment, as applicable, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding U.S. Letters of Credit, in the case of the U.S. Commitment, and Canadian Letters of Credit, in the case of the Canadian Commitment (or alternatively, (A) with respect to each such U.S. Letter of Credit, the deposit in the LC Collateral Account of cash equal to 103% of the U.S. LC Exposure or with

respect to each such Canadian Letter of Credit, the deposit in the Canadian LC Collateral Account of cash equal to 103% Canadian LC Exposure, as applicable, as of such date in accordance with Section 2.06(k), or (B) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and each applicable Issuing Bank, a back-up standby letter of credit equal to 103% of the U.S. LC Exposure or Canadian LC Exposure, as applicable, as of such date), (iii) the payment in full in cash of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (iv) the payment in full in cash of all reimbursable expenses and other U.S. Obligations or Canadian Obligations, as applicable, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. For clarification, all U.S. Commitments and Canadian Commitments, as sub-facilities of the Revolving Commitments, shall terminate upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, Aggregate Availability would be less than zero. Each reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages. In connection with any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the aggregate U.S. Commitments shall be automatically reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and, to the extent that the reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments would cause the Canadian Sublimit to exceed the aggregate amount of the Canadian Commitments of the Canadian Lenders, the Canadian Sublimit shall be automatically reduced so that after giving effect to the reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Canadian Sublimit does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Canadian Commitments of the Canadian Lenders.

(d) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall advise the U.S. Lenders or the Canadian Lenders, as applicable, of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent.

(e) The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (an “Aggregate Commitment Increase”) by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution, provided that (i) any such request for an Aggregate Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, (ii) the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, may make a maximum of four (4) such requests, (iii) the Administrative Agent has approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iv) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, (v) the aggregate amount of all such Aggregate Commitment Increases shall not exceed $100,000,000, (vi) the conditions described in Section 2.09(f) shall be satisfied and (vii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment in connection with any such Aggregate Commitment Increase requested by the Borrowers hereunder. Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, allocate the additional Revolving Commitments between U.S. Commitments and Canadian Commitments.

(f) Any amendment hereto for such an Aggregate Commitment Increase shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lender(s) being added or increasing their Revolving Commitment(s), subject only to the approval of all Lenders if any such increase would cause the Aggregate Revolving Commitments to exceed $500,000,000. As condition precedents to such an increase, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the authorizations adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), and (2) no Default exists.

(g) In addition, the Borrowers shall have the right to request, either in connection with an Aggregate Commitment Increase or without increasing the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, that the Canadian Sublimit be increased (a “Canadian Sublimit Increase”) through the increase by one or more Canadian Lenders of their Canadian Commitments or the addition of one or more new lending institutions as additional Canadian Lenders hereunder. Any request for a Canadian Sublimit Increase shall be subject to the following conditions (which conditions shall be in addition to the conditions set forth in Sections 2.09(e) and (f) above in the case of any Canadian Sublimit Increase being requested in connection with an Aggregate Commitment Increase): (i) such request shall be submitted by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent in writing not less than 15 days prior to the proposed dates of such Canadian Sublimit Increase, (ii) the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Canadian Borrower, shall be entitled to submit such a request on only one occasion during the term of this Agreement, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Canadian Sublimit Increase shall not exceed $25,000,000, (iv) the Borrowers shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an amendment hereto in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent effecting such increase, which amendment shall require only the signature of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lender(s) increasing their Canadian Commitments, (v) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the authorizations adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), and (2) no Default exists, and (vi) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Canadian Commitment in connection with any such Canadian Sublimit Increase requested by the Borrowers hereunder.

(h) Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any Aggregate Commitment Increase or Canadian Sublimit Increase, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Revolving Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase and shall distribute such revised Revolving Commitment Schedule to each of the Lenders and the Borrowers, whereupon such revised Revolving Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Revolving Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement. On the Business Day following any such Aggregate Commitment Increase, all outstanding ABR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised Applicable Percentages. Eurodollar Loans and CDOR Rate Loans shall not be reallocated among the Lenders prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of any such increase.

SECTION 2.10 Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) (i) The U.S. Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (A) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each U.S. Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, (B) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each U.S. Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent and (C) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each U.S. Overadvance on the earliest of the Maturity Date, the forty-fifth (45^th) day after such U.S. Overadvance is made, and demand by the Administrative Agent; and (ii) the Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally promise to pay (A) to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, (B) to the Canadian Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Canadian Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Canadian Administrative Agent and (C) to the Canadian Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Overadvance on the earliest of the Maturity Date, the forty-fifth (45^th) day after such Canadian Overadvance is made, and demand by the Canadian Administrative Agent.

(b) On each Business Day during any Dominion Trigger Period, (i) the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to each U.S. Collection Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available) first to prepay any U.S. Protective Advances and U.S. Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the U.S. Revolving Loans (including U.S. Swingline Loans) and to cash collateralize outstanding U.S. LC Exposure; and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to each Canadian Collection Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Canadian Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available) first to prepay any Canadian Protective Advances and Canadian Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the Canadian Revolving Loans (including Canadian Swingline Loans) and to cash collateralize outstanding Canadian LC Exposure.

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

(d) (i) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (A) the amount of each U.S. Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the U.S. Borrowers to each U.S. Lender hereunder and (C) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the U.S. Lenders and each U.S. Lender’s share thereof; and (ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (A) the amount of each Canadian Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Canadian Borrower to each Canadian Lender hereunder and (C) the amount of any sum received by the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Canadian Lenders and each Canadian Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein subject to manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty other than any break funding payments required in accordance with Section 2.16, to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

(b) Except for Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05, in the event and on such occasion that (i) Aggregate Availability shall be less than zero, (ii) U.S. Availability shall be less than zero, or (iii) Canadian Availability shall be less than zero, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay (or in the case of the LC Exposure, cash collateralize) the Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause Aggregate Availability, U.S. Availability and Canadian Availability to no longer be less than zero.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event during any Dominion Trigger Period, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by any Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds (without any reduction in the Revolving Commitments).

(d) All such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied, first to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure (in an amount up to 103% of the outstanding LC Exposure). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such application of proceeds from the Collateral securing solely the Canadian Obligations shall be made solely in respect of the Canadian Obligations.

(e) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or electronic mail) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, three (or, in the case of a CDOR Rate Revolving Borrowing, two) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate Revolving Borrowing, not later than noon, Chicago time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the

Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.12 Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lenders’ Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) The (i) U.S. Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in U.S. Letters of Credit and (ii) Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of each Canadian Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Canadian Letters of Credit, which, in each case, shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s applicable LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure. In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Issuing Bank a fronting fee in an amount separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the applicable Issuing Bank, as well as the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Fronting fees in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be payable on the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the date of any renewal thereof. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, (or to the applicable Issuing Bank in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for such Type of Loan.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate for such Type of Loan.

(c) The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for such Type of Loan.

(d) The Loans comprising each CDOR Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the CDOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate for such Type of Loan.

(e) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate, if denominated in Canadian Dollars, or at the Alternate Base Rate, if denominated in dollars, plus the Applicable Rate for corresponding Revolving Loans plus 2% per annum.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% above the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation, if any, as provided hereunder.

(g) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(h) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, CDOR Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 360 days or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone, facsimile or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a CDOR Rate Borrowing:

(i) the Canadian Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the CDOR Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Canadian Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the CDOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Canadian Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by telephone, facsimile or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Canadian Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a CDOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank;

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Excluded Taxes and (B) Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits or receipts (including value-added or similar Taxes));

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender (or such other Recipient) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to

make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank (or such other Recipient) of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank (or such other Recipient) hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank (or such other Recipient), as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank (or such other Recipient), as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by a Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the U.S. Borrowers shall compensate each U.S. Lender and the Canadian Borrower shall compensate each Canadian Lender, as applicable, for the loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender that is attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date

of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period to such Eurodollar Loan from other banks in the eurodollar market, or for Canadian Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period to such CDOR Rate Loan from other banks in the Canadian bankers’ acceptance market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes. (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to deduct or withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so deduct or withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of deducted or withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such deduction or withholding (including such deduction or withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.17(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to the Borrower Representative a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable

Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and

(2) a tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17(g) shall not be

construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, 22nd Floor, Chicago, Illinois, except (i) payments of principal, interest, fees or reimbursements of LC Disbursements relating to any Canadian Loan or Canadian Letter of Credit shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Agent at its offices at 200 Bay Street, Royal Bank Plaza, Floor 18, Toronto M57 2J2 Canada, (ii) payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein shall be made to such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, and (iii) payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient, in like funds, promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in the currency in which the applicable Obligations are denominated (subject to the proviso set forth in the first sentence of Section 1.05), and, if not otherwise specified, in dollars.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent so elects, or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably (based in respect of each of the following separate categories, computed independently of the other categories, on each Lender Party’s interest in the aggregate specific type of outstanding Secured Obligations described within (and only within) each specific category of Secured Obligations listed respectively below) first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, and each Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of Swingline Loans, Overadvances and Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of Swingline Loans, Overadvances and Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than Swingline Loans, Overadvances and Protective Advances), sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than Swingline Loans, Overadvances and Protective Advances) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, seventh, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the U.S. LC Exposure, and to pay an amount to the Canadian Administrative Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Canadian LC Exposure, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to pay any amounts owing to the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to Specified Foreign Credit Extensions up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, ninth, to pay any amounts owing to the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to Banking Services up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, Swap Obligations up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22 and Foreign Credit Extensions (other than Specified Foreign Credit Extensions), and tenth, to pay any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to

the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or such CDOR Rate Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, with respect to CDOR Rate Loans, that there are no outstanding Canadian Prime Rate Loans of the same Class, and with respect to Eurodollar Loans, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 9.20, any such application of proceeds from Collateral securing solely the Canadian Obligations shall be made solely in respect of Canadian Obligations.

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, to charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers 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 or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such

Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the Canadian Administrative Agent, may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in such order as may be determined by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in its discretion.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless requested otherwise by the Canadian Borrower (i) no Borrowings shall be made to the Canadian Borrower for the purpose of paying any U.S. Obligations; and (ii) deposit accounts of the Canadian Borrower may only be charged to pay Canadian Obligations.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to

the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, the Lender shall first use reasonable efforts to mitigate its costs or the effects of the applicable law or Change in Law, and any request for additional compensation shall specify in sufficient detail the reasons therefor and the mitigating actions taken.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.02(b)) and the Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.20(c), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.20(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or

(v) if all or any portion of any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit and the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, unless the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk in respect of such Lender hereunder;

(e) in the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

(f) For purposes of any covenant which permits or restricts actions by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or calculates compliance with financial covenants or any other provision of this Agreement, in each case, based in whole or in part upon the calculation of Aggregate Availability, U.S. Availability, Canadian Availability or Combined Availability, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, Aggregate Availability, U.S. Availability, Canadian Availability and Combined Availability shall be calculated (i) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded its Applicable Percentage of

all outstanding Borrowings and (ii) including such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in the same manner as if such Lender were not a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.21 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.22 Banking Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Banking Services for, or having Swap Agreements with, any Loan Party, or providing Foreign Credit Extensions to any Foreign Subsidiary, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Banking Services, Swap Agreements or Foreign Credit Extensions, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations of such Loan Party to such Lender or Affiliate or the aggregate amount of all Foreign Credit Extensions by such Lender to such Foreign Subsidiary, as applicable (in each case, whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent). In furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall furnish the Administrative Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking Services Obligations, Swap Obligations and Foreign Credit Extensions. The most recent information provided to the Administrative Agent shall be used in determining which tier of the waterfall, contained in Section 2.18(b), such Banking Services Obligations, Swap Obligations and/or Foreign Credit Extensions will be placed.

SECTION 2.23 Excess Resulting From Exchange Rate Change. (a) With respect to the Canadian Commitments, at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar against the dollar, (i) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Exposure of the Canadian Lenders exceeds the lesser of: (A) the Canadian Borrowing Base plus U.S. Availability, or (B) (x) the Canadian Sublimit minus (y) the sum of (1) the Priority Payables Reserve, (2) the Rent Reserve and (3) the Wage Earner Protection Act Reserve, or (ii) the aggregate Canadian Obligations exceeds any other limit based on dollars set forth herein for such Canadian Obligations, the Canadian Borrower shall (A) if such excess is an aggregate amount that is less than $1,000,000 and such excess continues to exist in an aggregate amount less than $1,000,000 for at least five Business Days, within two Business Days of notice from the Canadian Administrative Agent, (B) if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or equal to $1,000,000 but less than $5,000,000, within two Business Days of notice from the Canadian Administrative Agent, or (C) if such excess is in an aggregate amount greater than or equal to $5,000,000 or if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, immediately, (x) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce such Canadian Obligations to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (y) maintain or cause to be maintained with the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Canadian Lender Parties) deposits as continuing collateral security for the Canadian Obligations in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are acceptable to the Canadian Administrative Agent. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall, weekly or more frequently in the sole discretion of the Canadian Administrative Agent, make the necessary

exchange rate calculations to determine whether any such excess exists on such date and advise the Borrowers if such excess exists.

(b) With respect to the U.S. Commitments, at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of any LC Alternative Currency against the dollar, (i) the sum of the aggregate U.S. Revolving Exposure of the U.S. Lenders plus the Canadian U.S. Borrowing Base Utilization exceeds the lesser of: (A) the U.S. Borrowing Base, or (B) (x) the total U.S. Commitments minus (y) the sum of (1) the Priority Payables Reserve, (2) the Rent Reserve and (3) the Wage Earner Protection Act Reserve, or (ii) the aggregate U.S. Obligations exceeds any other limit based on dollars set forth herein for such U.S. Obligations, the U.S. Borrowers shall (A) if such excess is an aggregate amount that is less than $1,000,000 and such excess continues to exist in an aggregate amount less than $1,000,000 for at least five Business Days, within two Business Days of notice from the Administrative Agent, (B) if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or equal to $1,000,000 but less than $5,000,000, within two Business Days of notice from the Administrative Agent, or (C) if such excess is in an aggregate amount greater than or equal to $5,000,000 or if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, immediately, (x) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce such U.S. Obligations to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (y) maintain or cause to be maintained with the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) deposits as continuing collateral security for the Obligations in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent shall, weekly or more frequently in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, make the necessary exchange rate calculations to determine whether any such excess exists on such date and advise the Borrowers if such excess exists.

(c) If one or more of the U.S. Borrowers provide cash collateral to secure obligations related to U.S. Letters of Credit that are denominated in an LC Alternative Currency (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.06(k), 2.10(b) or 2.18(b)) and, as a result of fluctuations in the applicable exchange rate between dollars and the applicable LC Alternative Currency, the Equivalent Amount in dollars of cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent is less than the specified amount of cash collateral so required to be maintained by the U.S. Borrowers, the U.S. Borrowers shall, promptly following a request therefor by the Administrative Agent, deposit in the LC Collateral Account an additional amount of cash collateral in dollars equal to such shortfall to be held as cash collateral in accordance with Section 2.06(k).

The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 715-30) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan.

(b) Each Canadian Loan Party and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the requirements of the Pension Benefits Act (Ontario) and other federal or provincial laws with respect to each Canadian Pension Plan, except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither any Canadian Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material withdrawal liability in connection with a Canadian Pension Plan.

No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to the Projections and any other projected financial information or forecasts, the Borrowers and Holdings represent only that such information and materials have been prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were believed to be reasonable at the time delivered and, if such projected financial information was delivered prior to the Effective Date, as of the Effective Date, and no representation or warranty is made as to the actual attainability of any such Projections or forecasts.

(B) if (x) any such payment by Holdings or WESCO Distribution, Inc. would cause the aggregate amount of such payments made in respect of the 2029 Convertible Debentures in any fiscal year to exceed $5,000,000 and (y) as of the date of, and at all times during the period of sixty (60) consecutive days prior to, such payment, in each case, after giving effect to such payment (and any Revolving Loans or loans, transfers or sales under the Receivables Securitization Agreements made to fund such payment): (1) Aggregate Availability is greater than or equal to 17.5% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or (2) Combined Availability is greater than or equal to the Combined Availability Trigger Amount (it being understood that (I) for purposes of this clause (y), Aggregate Availability and Combined Availability for the sixty day period prior to any such payment shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as if the applicable payment (and any Revolving Loans or loans, transfers or sales under the Receivables Securitization Agreements made to fund such payment) had been made on the first day of such period and (II) if at any time during such sixty day period, Aggregate Availability shall be less than 17.5% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or Combined Availability shall be less than the Combined Availability Trigger Amount and (aa) the Borrowers shall raise additional capital through the issuance of Equity Interests by Holdings or the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01 and utilize a portion of the proceeds of such additional capital raise to pay down outstanding Revolving Loans or outstanding amounts owing under the Receivables Securitization Agreements or (bb) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments are increased pursuant to Section 2.09(e) hereof or the Securitization Purchase Limit is increased pursuant to the Receivables Securitization Agreements, for purposes of determining whether the Borrowers have met the test set forth in the foregoing clauses (y)(1) or (y)(2), Aggregate Availability and Combined Availability shall be determined on a pro forma basis, as if such capital raise and pay down of outstanding Revolving Loans or amounts owing under the Receivables Securitization Agreements or such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or Securitization Purchase Limit, as applicable, had occurred on the first day of such sixty day period), then, Holdings or WESCO Distribution, Inc. shall be permitted to make such payment under this paragraph (B) regardless of the amount thereof; and

(vii) payment or prepayment of any Indebtedness if after giving effect to such payment: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) for the period of sixty (60) consecutive days prior to, and as of the date of, such payment or prepayment, in each case, after giving effect to such payment or prepayment (and any Revolving Loans or loans, transfers or sales made under the Receivables Securitization Agreements to fund such payment or prepayment), Combined Availability exceeds the Combined Availability Trigger

110

Amount (provided that (x) in calculating Combined Availability for the sixty day period prior to the making of such payment or prepayment for purposes of this clause (B), Combined Availability for such sixty day period shall be determined on a pro forma basis, as if payment or prepayment (and any Revolving Loans or loans, transfers or sales under the Receivables Securitization Agreements made to fund such payment or prepayment) had been made on the first day of such period and (y) if any time during such sixty day period, Combined Availability shall be less than the Combined Availability Trigger Amount and (1) the Borrowers shall raise additional capital through the issuance of Equity Interests by Holdings or the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01 and utilize a portion of the proceeds of such additional capital raise to pay down outstanding Revolving Loans or outstanding amounts owing under the Receivables Securitization Agreements or (2) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments are increased pursuant to Section 2.09(e) hereof or the Securitization Purchase Limit is increased pursuant to the Receivables Securitization Agreements, for purposes of determining whether the Borrowers have met the foregoing test, Combined Availability shall be determined on a pro forma basis, as if such capital raise and pay down of outstanding Revolving Loans or amounts owing under the Receivables Securitization Agreements or such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or Securitization Purchase Limit, as applicable, had occurred on the first day of such sixty day period).

For greater certainty, the Borrowers may elect from time to time to consider payments in respective of Indebtedness as falling within one or more of the categories above and may divide such payments among two or more categories. The restrictions set forth in any subpart of this Section by way of description of any such payments shall not be deemed to require that any payments meeting such description be placed in such subpart for purposes of determining compliance with this Section.

111

conditions existing on the date hereof with respect to documents identified on Schedule 6.10 or any extension or renewal of, or any amendment, modification or replacement of such documents (to the extent such extension, renewal, amendment, modification or replacement is not prohibited by this Agreement) which does not expand the scope of, any such restriction or condition), (iii) the foregoing shall not apply to customary restrictions and conditions contained in agreements relating to the sale of a Subsidiary pending such sale, provided such restrictions and conditions apply only to the Subsidiary that is to be sold and such sale is permitted hereunder, (iv) the foregoing shall not apply to customary restrictions and conditions contained in any agreement relating to Indebtedness of a special purpose entity if such restriction applies to the creation of Liens on the assets of such special purpose entity or limits such special purpose entity from paying dividends or distributions in respect of such special purpose entity’s income or property, (v) clause (a) of the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions or conditions imposed by any agreement relating to secured Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement if such restrictions or conditions apply only to the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, and (vi) clause (a) of the foregoing shall not apply to customary provisions in leases restricting the assignment thereof.

ARTICLE VIII.

The Administrative Agent and Canadian Administrative Agent

Each of the Lender Parties hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

115

Without limiting the generality of the paragraph above, for the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with Article 1541 of the Civil Code, between each Lender Party, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, each Loan Party, each such Lender Party and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree with the Administrative Agent that each such Lender Party and the Administrative Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each Loan Party in respect of all Obligations, present and future, owed by each such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and each such Lender Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”). Each Loan Party which is not a signatory of this Agreement but is or may become a signatory to any other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have accepted the provisions contained in this paragraph by its execution of such other Loan Documents. Accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code of Québec, each such Loan Party is irrevocably bound towards the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Administrative Agent and such Lender Party. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Administrative Agent and such Lender Party and the right to give full acquittance for same. The parties further agree and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral under the Collateral Documents shall be granted to the Administrative Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Lender Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.

In addition, and without limiting any of the foregoing, for the purposes of holding any security granted by any Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any bond issued by any Borrower or any Loan Party, each of the Lender Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Administrative Agent, to act as the person holding the power of attorney (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the Lender Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each of the Lender Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the Lender Parties to hold and be the sole registered holder of any bond which may be issued under any hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law, and to execute all related documents. Each of the Attorney and the Custodian shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney and the Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any hypothec, bond, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lender Parties, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec, bond, or pledge on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Lender Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (i) the Attorney as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity, and (ii) the Custodian as the agent and custodian as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender Party, all actions taken by the Custodian in such capacity. The substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall also constitute the substitution of the Attorney and the Custodian.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise

116

the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender Party, and the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall not 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 hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) set forth or in connection with any Loan Document, (v) the legality, the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, adequacy or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any representation, notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing or communication believed by it to be genuine, correct and to have been authorized, signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made or authorized by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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.

The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative 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 the

117

Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent thereof may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers 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 the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor (which shall, in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent only, be an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent acting through a branch or an office in Canada). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank (which shall, in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent only, be an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent acting through an office in Canada).

The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent and Canadian Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s or Canadian Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent as the case may be, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent as the case may be.

All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received or (ii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail shall be deemed to have been given when sent, provided that if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Lender Party in exercising any right or power 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 Lenders Parties, hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent (to the extent it is a party to such Loan Document) and each Loan Party that is a party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the U.S. Commitment or Canadian Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, postpone the scheduled date of expiration of the Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Default Lender) directly affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.18(b) in any manner adverse to any Lender without such Lender’s consent or in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (E) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Canadian Borrowing Base or U.S. Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of the Supermajority Revolving Lenders, (F) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Revolving Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (G) release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty or Canadian Guarantee (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, (H) except as provided in clause (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Administrative Agent may also amend the Revolving Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04 and (y) any amendment entered into

121

in connection with an Aggregate Commitment Increase or a Canadian Sublimit Increase pursuant to Section 2.09(f) or Section 2.09(g), as applicable, shall require only the signature of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lender(s) being added or increasing their Revolving Commitment(s) or Canadian Commitments, as applicable, except as otherwise provided in such Section 2.09(f).

(c) The Lender Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties or the Canadian Loan Parties, as the case may be, on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of all Revolving Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender Party, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty or Canadian Guarantee provided by such Subsidiary, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, (iv) constituting an Account originated by a Loan Party which has been sold or otherwise transferred to WESCO Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Securitization Agreements; (v) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII; or (vi) otherwise having a value in the aggregate not in excess of $20,000,000 during any calendar year. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate (A) in excess of $20,000,000 but not in excess of $50,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; and (B) in excess of $50,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Supermajority Revolving Lenders; provided that the consent of all Lenders shall be required for a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral as provided in Section 9.02(b)(H). Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

122

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred by the Agents and their Affiliates in connection with:

(i) appraisals and insurance reviews;

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination;

(iii) taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien searches and (B) recording the Collateral Documents, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agent’s Liens;

(iv) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and

(v) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c).

(b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, incremental taxes (other than taxes based on income), liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand

123

do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of the Borrowers to deliver to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by the Borrowers for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving

124

Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent; and

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Revolving Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

(E) any assignments of all or a portion of a Lender’s Canadian Commitment or other rights and obligations under this Agreement relating to the Canadian Borrower shall be made to a Canadian Qualified Lender.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such

125

Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the

126

requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, 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 is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 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. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian 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, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

127

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of Conflicts) of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks; provided, however, that if the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York shall govern in regard to the validity, perfection or effect of perfection of any Lien or in regard to procedural matters affecting enforcement of any Liens on all or any party of the Collateral, such laws of such other jurisdictions shall continue to apply to that extent.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court; provided that claims with respect to Canadian Loan Documents may, as provided therein, also be tried in the courts of the Province of Ontario. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10 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 ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE

128

TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Lender Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower Representative or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Lender Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers unless such Lender Party knows that such information was obtained in violation of any confidentiality agreement or arrangement. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to any Lender Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDINGS AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE

129

SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.13 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of Law.

SECTION 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.15 Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 9.16 Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender Party hereby appoints each other Lender Party as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Lender Parties or the Canadian Lender Parties, as the case may be, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, the PPSA, the Securities Transfer Act (Ontario) or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender Party (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender Party shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 9.17 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 in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan 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 but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans 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.

130

SECTION 9.18 Judgment Currency Conversion. (a) The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in dollars or in Canadian Dollars, as the case may be (the “Obligation Currency”), shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the applicable Loan Party of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the applicable Loan Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Administrative Agent’s quoted rate of exchange prevailing, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Loan Parties each covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. Any amount due from a Loan Party under this Section 9.18 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.

(c) For purposes of determining the prevailing rate of exchange, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

SECTION 9.19 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. (a) Each Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lender Parties may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrowers and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Borrowers, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender Party or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(b) If the Canadian Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Canadian Administrative Agent:

(i) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender Party, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender Party and the Canadian Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii) shall provide to each Lender Party copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

131

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lender Parties agrees that neither the Canadian Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrowers or any authorized signatories of the Borrowers on behalf of any Lender Party, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

SECTION 9.20 Lender Loss Sharing Agreement. (a) Definitions. As used in this Section 9.20, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “CAM” means the mechanism for the allocation and exchange of interests in the Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and collections thereunder established under Section 9.20(b).

(ii) “CAM Exchange” means the exchange of the U.S. Lenders’ interests and the Canadian Lenders’ interests provided for in Section 9.20(b).

(iii) “CAM Exchange Date” means the first date after the Effective Date on which there shall occur (a) any event described in paragraphs (k) or (l) of Article VII with respect to any Borrower, or (b) an acceleration of Loans and termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Article VII.

(iv) “CAM Percentage” means as to each Lender, a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitments immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and the termination of the Revolving Commitments, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the amount of the Revolving Commitments of all the Lenders immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and the termination of the Revolving Commitments.

(v) “Designated Obligations” means all Obligations of the Borrowers with respect to (a) principal and interest under the Loans, (b) unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit and interest thereon and (c) fees under Section 2.12.

(vi) “Revolver Facility” means the facility established under the U.S. Commitments and the Canadian Commitments.

(b) CAM Exchange.

(i) On the CAM Exchange Date,

(A) the U.S. Commitments and the Canadian Commitments shall have terminated in accordance with Article VII;

(B) each U.S. Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Swingline Loans and Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.04 and Section 2.05 of this Agreement, and each Canadian Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Swingline Loans and Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.04 and Section 2.05;

(C) each U.S. Lender shall fund its participation in any unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under the U.S. Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.06(e), and each Canadian Lender shall fund its participation in any unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under the Canadian Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.06(e); and

132

(D) the Lenders shall purchase in dollars at par interests in the Designated Obligations under each Revolver Facility (and shall make payments in dollars to the Administrative Agent for reallocation to other Lenders to the extent necessary to give effect to such purchases) and shall assume the obligations to reimburse Issuing Banks for unreimbursed LC Disbursements under outstanding Letters of Credit under such Revolver Facility such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under the U.S. Commitments and the Canadian Commitments in which it shall have participated immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in each component of the Designated Obligations immediately following the CAM Exchange.

(ii) Each Lender and each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by this Section 9.20 hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. Each Borrower agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Lenders all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of any Lender to deliver or accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

(iii) As a result of the CAM Exchange, from and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of any of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages.

(iv) In the event that on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank that is not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, if applicable, then each Lender shall promptly reimburse such Issuing Bank for its CAM Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in the Equivalent Amount in dollars.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.20, each Lender Party agrees that if any Lender Party is required under applicable law to withhold or deduct any taxes or other amounts from payments made by it hereunder or as a result hereof, such Person shall be entitled to withhold or deduct such amounts and pay over such taxes or other amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority imposing such tax without any obligation to indemnify any Lender Party with respect to such amounts and without any other obligation of gross up or offset with respect thereto and there shall be no recourse whatsoever by any Lender Party subject to such withholding to any other Lender Party making such withholding and paying over such amounts, but without diminution of the rights of such Lender Party subject to such withholding as against Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to the extent (if any) provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any amounts so withheld or deducted shall be treated as, for the purpose of this Section 9.20, having been paid to such Lender Party to which such withholding or deduction was made.

ARTICLE X.

Loan Guaranty

SECTION 10.01 Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lender Parties, the prompt payment when

133

due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender Party that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Loan Guaranty of the Canadian Loan Guarantors shall be limited to the Canadian Obligations and in no event shall any Canadian Loan Guarantor be liable as a Guarantor for any obligation of any U.S. Loan Party.

SECTION 10.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require any Lender Party to sue any Borrower, any other Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, any Lender Party, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any Lender Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any Lender Party with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other

134

Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Lender Parties and no Obligations are outstanding.

SECTION 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Lender Parties are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender Parties.

SECTION 10.07 Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that no Lender Party shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08 Termination. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of such Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.09 Taxes. Each payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Loan

135

Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Loan Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

SECTION 10.10 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lender Parties, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each U.S. Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lender Parties to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lender Parties hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION 10.11 Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Lender Parties and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

136

SECTION 10.12 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Lender Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

ARTICLE XI.
