(1) Subject to Section 1.4(2), wherever in this Agreement reference is made to GAAP, such reference shall be deemed to be to the recommendations of the CPAC applicable on a consolidated basis as at the date hereof (unless otherwise specifically provided or contemplated herein to be applicable on an unconsolidated basis).

(2) For the purposes of this Agreement, including for the purposes of all Financial Calculations to be made hereunder (including those incorporated by reference from the Senior Secured Indenture) but excluding for the purposes of financial statements delivered hereunder, any lease which would have been accounted for as an operating lease or other expense under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2018 shall be, notwithstanding any subsequent change in GAAP,

deemed to continue to be accounted for as an operating lease or other expense was accounted for on such date, regardless of whether such lease is entered into or assumed before or after December 31, 2018.

1.5 Accounting Principles

  • (1) If:
  • (a) there occurs a material change in GAAP; or
  • (b) the Borrower or any Subsidiary, as permitted by GAAP, adopts a material change in an accounting policy in order to more appropriately present events or transactions in its financial statements,

and any such change would require disclosure under GAAP in the consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and Source US and would cause an amount required to be determined for the purposes of any financial ratio or any other financial calculation hereunder (each a "Financial Calculation") to be materially different than the amount that would be determined without giving effect to such change, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such change (an "Accounting Change"). Such notice (an "Accounting Change Notice") shall describe the nature of the Accounting Change, its effect on the current and immediately prior year's financial statements and state whether the Borrower wishes to revise the method of calculating the Financial Calculation in order that amounts determined after giving effect to such Accounting Change and the revised method of calculating the Financial Calculation will approximate the amount that would be determined without giving effect to such Accounting Change and without giving effect to the revised method of calculating the Financial Calculation. The Accounting Change Notice shall be delivered to the Agent within 90 days after the end of the Fiscal Quarter in which the Accounting Change is implemented or, if such Accounting Change is implemented in the fourth Fiscal Quarter of any Fiscal Year or in respect of an entire Fiscal Year, within 120 days after the end of such period.

Financial Calculation, the Borrower and the Majority of the Lenders have not reached agreement in writing on such revised method of calculation, such method of calculation shall not be revised and all amounts to be determined thereunder shall be determined without giving effect to the Accounting Change. For greater certainty, if no notice of a desire to revise the method of calculating the Financial Calculation in respect of an Accounting Change is given by either the Borrower, the Agent or the Majority of the Lenders within the applicable time period described above, then the method of calculating the Financial Calculation shall not be revised in response to such Accounting Change and all amounts to be determined pursuant to the Financial Calculation shall continue to be determined without giving effect to such Accounting Change.

(4) If a Compliance Certificate is delivered in respect of a calendar month, Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year in which an Accounting Change is implemented without giving effect to any revised method of calculating the Financial Calculation, and subsequently, as provided above, the method of calculating the Financial Calculation is revised in response to such Accounting Change, or the amount to be determined pursuant to the Financial Calculation is to be determined without giving effect to such Accounting Change, the Borrower shall deliver a revised Compliance Certificate.

  • (e) following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, all insurance or condemnation proceeds which may become payable to any Loan Party in respect of any ABL Collateral ("Insurance Proceeds") shall be deposited into a Blocked Account promptly upon receipt thereof for application to the repayment of any outstanding Obligations under the Operating Facility (on a non-permanent basis); and
  • (f) to the extent there is a Borrowing Base Shortfall, the Borrower shall repay the Loans under the Operating Facility to the extent necessary to reduce the Outstanding Principal of Loans under the Operating Facility by not less than the amount of such Borrowing Base Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.19(3).

The amount of any Insurance Proceeds received by the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be certified by the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders in an Officer's Certificate.

(3) Any optional repayment pursuant to Section 2.15 or mandatory repayment pursuant to Section 2.16(2) (excluding any mandatory payment made pursuant to Sections 2.16(2)(f) and 2.17(4)) shall, unless otherwise required by the Lenders and subject to terms set out in the Blocked Account Agreement (CAD) for repayments in accordance with Section 2.17(4), be applied (i) firstly, to any Borrowing Base Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.16(2)(f) and then, at the option of the Lenders in their sole discretion, to the Outstanding Principal amount due under the Operating Facility, and (ii) secondly, to the extent that the Lenders did not require a repayment under (i) above, to the Outstanding Principal amount due under the Operating Facility. For certainty, any repayment or prepayment of the Outstanding Principal due under the Operating Facility pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not constitute a cancellation of any portion thereof and, subject to the other provisions hereunder, the full amount thereof shall remain available for Drawdown by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.4.

2.17 Additional Repayment Terms

(1) If any Libor Loan is repaid or converted on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall, within three Banking Days after notice is given by the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders all costs, losses, premiums and expenses incurred by such Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re-deployment of deposits or other funds, or for any other reason whatsoever, resulting in each case from the repayment of such Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Any Lender, upon becoming entitled to be paid such costs, losses, premiums and expenses, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a certificate of the Lender certifying as to such amounts and, in the absence of manifest error, such certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(2) With respect to the funding of the repayment of unexpired Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.15(1)(e) or otherwise hereunder, it is agreed that the Borrower shall provide for the funding in full of the repayment of unexpired Letters of Credit by paying to and depositing with the Fronting Lender cash collateral for each such unexpired Letter of Credit equal to the maximum amount thereof, plus the fees payable pursuant to Section 7.8 through to the expiry of such Letter of Credit, in each case, in the respective currency which the relevant Letter of Credit is denominated; such cash collateral deposited by the Borrower shall be held by the Fronting Lender in an interest bearing cash collateral account with interest to be credited to the Borrower at rates prevailing at the time of deposit for similar accounts with the Fronting Lender. Such cash collateral accounts shall be assigned to the Fronting Lender as security for the obligations of the Borrower in relation to such Letters of Credit and the Security Interest of the Fronting Lender thereby created in such cash collateral shall rank in priority to all other Security Interests and adverse claims against such cash collateral. Such cash collateral shall be applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower for such Letters of Credit as payments are made thereunder and the Fronting Lender is hereby irrevocably directed by the Borrower to so apply any such cash collateral. Amounts held in such cash collateral accounts may not be withdrawn by the Borrower without the consent of the Lenders; however, interest on such deposited amounts shall be for the account of the Borrower and may be withdrawn by the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing. If after expiry of the Letters of Credit for which such funds are held and application by the Fronting Lender of the amounts in such cash collateral accounts to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to the Letters of Credit being repaid, any excess remains, such excess shall be promptly paid by the Fronting Lender to the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing.

(3) With respect to the repayment of unmatured Bankers' Acceptances pursuant to Section 2.15(1)(d) or otherwise hereunder, it is agreed that the Borrower shall provide for the funding in full of the unmatured Bankers' Acceptances to be repaid by paying to and depositing with the Agent cash collateral for each such unmatured Bankers' Acceptances equal to the face amount payable at maturity thereof. The (a) cash collateral, (b) cash collateral accounts and (c)

any proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively the "Outstanding BAs Collateral") shall be assigned to the Agent as security for the obligations of the Borrower in relation to such Bankers' Acceptances and the Security Interest of the Agent thereby created in such Outstanding BAs Collateral shall rank in priority to all other Security Interests and adverse claims against such Outstanding BAs Collateral. Such Outstanding BAs Collateral shall be applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower for such Bankers' Acceptances as they mature and the Agent is hereby irrevocably directed by the Borrower to apply any such Outstanding BAs Collateral to such maturing Bankers' Acceptances. The Outstanding BAs Collateral created herein shall not be released to the Borrower without the consent of the Lenders.

(4) With respect to any amounts remitted by an account bank under a Blocked Account Agreement to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as repayment of certain Loans and Obligations outstanding, shall be applied in accordance with terms of such Blocked Account Agreement.

2.18 Hedging with Lenders and Hedging Affiliates

If a Lender or Hedging Affiliate enters into a Financial Instrument with the Borrower which such Lender or Hedging Affiliate (as the case may be) believes, acting reasonably, in good faith and without any actual notice or knowledge to the contrary, is Permitted Hedging, then each such Lender Financial Instrument and the Lender Financial Instrument Obligations under such Financial Instrument shall be secured by the Security equally and rateably with the Obligations, regardless of whether the Borrower has complied herewith (but, for certainty, without in any manner lessening or relieving the Borrower from its obligation to comply therewith).

2.19 Borrowing Base Limit on Operating Facility; Determinations of Borrowing Base

(1) The Borrower shall not, at any time, have or allow

the Outstanding Principal of all Loans under the Operating Facility to exceed the lesser of:

  • (a) the aggregate Operating Facility Commitments; and
  • (b) the Borrowing Base; and
  • (2) The Borrowing Base shall be determined and re determined as follows:
  • (a) subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.19, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount certified as such in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower to the Lenders;
  • (b) within 5 days after receipt by the Lenders of each Borrowing Base Certificate required to be delivered hereunder, each Lender shall advise the Agent if it agrees with the certification of the Borrowing Base provided in the Borrowing Base

Certificate (such determination to be made in each Lender's sole discretion based upon each Lender's determination of whether Receivables are or are not Eligible Receivables and such Lender's determination of the amounts referred in clauses (a) to (d) of the definition of Borrowing Base); provided that, if a Lender shall not so advise the Agent, then such Lender shall be deemed to have agreed with the certification of the Borrower in the Borrowing Base Certificate;

  • (c) if all the Lenders do not agree to the amount of the Borrowing Base as certified in the Borrowing Base Certificate, the Lenders may re determine the Borrowing Base (in their sole discretion based upon the Lenders' determination of whether Receivables are or are not Eligible Receivables and the Lenders' determination of the amounts referred in clauses (a) to (g) of the definition of Borrowing Base) and the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower written notice of the re determination of the Borrowing Base (each such notice, a "Borrowing Base Notice") (with a copy thereof to each Lender) specifying such re determined Borrowing Base;
  • (d) if all the Lenders cannot agree on the re-determination of the Borrowing Base within 5 days after receipt of the Borrowing Base Certificate, then the Borrowing Base shall be deemed to have been determined by the Lenders as the lowest Borrowing Base amount proposed by a Lender or Lenders to the Agent and the other Lenders and promptly after the expiry of such 5 day period the Agent shall deliver a Borrowing Base Notice to the Borrower (with a copy thereof to each Lender) specifying such Borrowing Base; and
  • (e) for certainty, the re-determined Borrowing Base shall be effective immediately upon receipt by the Borrower of a Borrowing Base Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.19(2)(c) or Section 2.19(2)(d), as applicable.

(3) If, after a Borrowing Base determination or redetermination, the Outstanding Principal of all Loans outstanding under the Operating Facility exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect (a "Borrowing Base Shortfall"), the Borrower shall immediately and without notice or demand prepay the Operating Facility to the extent necessary to eliminate such Borrowing Base Shortfall.

2.20 Reserves

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall have the right at any time and from time to time to establish Reserves, and to adjust the amount of any existing Reserve, against the amount of the Loans under the Operating Facility which the Borrower may otherwise request hereunder, in such amounts and with respect to such matters as the Lenders shall deem necessary or appropriate in accordance with its usual and customary practices and after consultation with the Borrower, including, without limitation, (i) Reserves in

respect of dilution and Reserves in respect of amounts owing by any Loan Party to any person with a Security Interest that may have priority over the Security Interest of the Agent and Lenders (regardless of whether such third party Security Interests are Permitted Encumbrances) and (ii) Reserves in respect of any accounts payable that are more than thirty (30) days past the date on which payment thereof is due. The amount of all Reserves established by the Agent shall be subtracted from the Borrowing Base when calculating the Excess Availability. In addition, the Agent may from time to time reduce the percentages applicable to any one of, all of or some of Eligible Receivables, Insured Receivables, Investment Grade Receivables and Eligible Inventory as they relate to the Borrowing Base, to the extent determined necessary or appropriate by the Agent (in accordance with its usual and customary practices and after consultation with the Borrower).

2.21 Replacement of Lenders

(1) The Borrower shall have the right, at its option, to (i) replace Lenders under the applicable Credit Facilities (by causing them to assign their rights and interests under such Credit Facilities to additional financial institutions which have agreed to become Lenders or by increasing the Commitments of existing Lenders under such Credit Facilities with, in the latter case, the consent of such increasing Lenders, or any combination thereof), (ii) repay the Obligations outstanding to certain Lenders under the applicable Credit Facilities and cancelling their Commitments (without corresponding repayment to other Lenders), or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, with respect to the following Lenders:

  • (a) Lenders which have claimed Additional Compensation in accordance with the provisions hereof (each, a "Lender Claiming Additional Compensation");
  • (b) Lenders which, pursuant to Section 13.6, have declared their obligations under this Agreement in respect of any Loan to be terminated (each, a "Declaring Lender"); and
  • (c) Lenders which have not agreed to consent under, waiver of or proposed amendment to the provisions of the Documents (each, a "Dissenting Lender") requested by the Borrower; provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to replace or repay a Dissenting Lender unless, after doing so, the requested consent, waiver or amendment would be approved in accordance with this Agreement,

provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to replace or repay a Dissenting Lender unless it is concurrently repaying or replacing all Dissenting Lenders in connection with the relevant extension, consent, waiver or amendment and further provided that increases in the Commitments of existing Lenders and the addition of new financial institutions as Lenders shall require the consent of each of the Agent and the Fronting Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld).

(2) In order to give effect to the provisions of Section 2.21(1) (but subject to such provisions), the Borrower may, from time to time:

  • (a) require any Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, Declaring Lender or Dissenting Lender to assign all of its rights, benefits and interests under the Documents, its Commitments and its Rateable Portion of all Loans and other Obligations (collectively, the "Assigned Interests") to (a) any other Lenders which have agreed to increase their Commitments and purchase the Assigned Interests, and (b) to third party financial institutions selected by the Borrower and acceptable to each of the Agent and the Fronting Lender. The Borrower shall provide the Agent with 10 Banking Days' prior written notice of its desire to proceed under this Section. The assignment of the Assigned Interests shall be effective upon: (a) execution and delivery of assignment documentation satisfactory to the relevant Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, Declaring Lender or Dissenting Lender, as the case may be, the assignee, the Borrower and the Agent (each acting reasonably); (b) upon payment to the relevant Dissenting Lender, Declaring Lender or Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, as the case may be, by the relevant assignee of an amount equal to such Lender's Rateable Portion of all Loans being assigned and all accrued but unpaid interest and fees hereunder in respect of those portions of the Loans and Commitments being assigned; (c) upon payment by the relevant assignee to the Agent (for the applicable Agent's own account) of the transfer fee contemplated in Section 16.6; and (d) upon provision satisfactory to the Dissenting Lender, Declaring Lender or Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, as the case may be, (acting reasonably) being made for payment at maturity of outstanding Bankers' Acceptances accepted by it. Upon such assignment and transfer, the assigning Dissenting Lender, Declaring Lender or Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, as the case may be, shall have no further right, interest, benefit or obligation in respect of the Assigned Interests (except as provided in Section 7.9(3)) and the assignee thereof shall succeed to the position of such Lender as if the same was an original party hereto in the place and stead of such Dissenting Lender, Declaring Lender or Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, as the case may be, and such assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and shall execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement and such other documentation as may be reasonably required by the Agent, the Fronting Lender and the Borrower to confirm its agreement to be bound by the provisions hereof as a Lender and to give effect to the foregoing; and
  • (b) to the extent that the Borrower has not caused any Dissenting Lender, Declaring Lender or Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, as the case may be, to assign its rights, benefits and interests to another Lender or other financial institution as

provided in paragraph (a) above, repay to such Dissenting Lender, Declaring Lender or Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, as the case may be, at any time while such Lender continues to be a Dissenting Lender, Declaring Lender or Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, all such Lender's Rateable Portion of all Loans outstanding under the Credit Facilities, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon and with respect to its Commitments, without making corresponding repayment to the other Lenders and, upon such repayment and provision satisfactory to the relevant Dissenting Lender, Declaring Lender or Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, as the case may be, (acting reasonably) being made for (i) payment at maturity of all outstanding Bankers' Acceptances accepted by such Lender and (ii) indemnity in respect of its share of outstanding Letters of Credit, or, with respect to outstanding Fronted LCs (for which the procedures in Section 2.17 shall be deemed satisfactory), release by the Fronting Lender of its obligations in respect thereof or, the Borrower may cancel such Lender's Commitments. Upon completion of the foregoing, such Dissenting Lender, Declaring Lender or Lender Claiming Additional Compensation, as the case may be, shall have no further right, interest, benefit or obligation in respect of the Credit Facilities (except as provided in Section 7.9(3)) and each Credit Facility shall be reduced by the amount of such Lender's cancelled Commitment thereunder.

2.22 Currency Excess

If the Agent shall determine that the aggregate Outstanding Principal of the outstanding Loans under any Credit Facility exceeds the maximum amount of such Credit Facility by at least 5% of such Credit Facility due to fluctuations in currency (the amount of such excess is herein called the "Currency Excess"), then, upon written request by the Agent (which request shall detail the applicable Currency Excess), the Borrower shall repay an amount of such Loans no later than 5 Banking Days after receipt of such request, such that the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars of such repayments is, in the aggregate, at least equal to the Currency Excess.

2.23 Accordion Option

(a) The Borrower may, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, upon providing 45 days prior written notice to the Agent (a "Request for Increase") at any time, request a one-time increase to the aggregate Operating Facility Commitments up to the total amount of \$13,000,000 Canadian Dollars (or the Equivalent Amount thereof in United States Dollars). Such Request for Increase shall be for an amount no less than \$5,000,000 (the requested amount of the increase shall be referred to herein as, the "Requested Increased Commitment Amount"). The Agent shall forthwith, and in any event within two (2) Banking Days upon receiving the Request for Increase, notify the Lenders of such Request for Increase by the

Borrower (such date being the "Increase Notification Date"). Each Lender shall advise the Agent as to whether or not it agrees to such Request for Increase, and any terms and conditions to which its approval is subject, not later than twenty (20) Banking Days after the Increase Notification Date; provided that in the event any Lender does not advise the Agent within such twenty (20) Banking Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have elected not to agree to such Request for Increase. Within two (2) Banking Days of the Agent having received from all of the Lenders their respective decision or deemed decision with regard to the Request for Increase, the Agent shall advise the Borrower whether all of the Lenders have agreed to such Request for Increase. For greater certainty, any Request for Increase shall require the unanimous written consent of the Lenders;

  • (b) If unanimous written consent of the Lenders provided with respect to a Request for Increase and, pursuant to Section 2.23(a) hereof, one or more Lenders elect not to participate in the Requested Increased Commitment Amount, the Borrower may, with and subject to the prior written approval of the Agent and Lenders, in each case acting reasonably, include additional lenders (which may be a Lender(s) who has already elected to participate in the Request for Increase) to assist with funding the Requested Increased Commitment Amount. The parties hereto shall enter into a further amending agreement to this Agreement to incorporate the new lenders who participate in funding the Requested Increased Commitment Amount, along with the terms and provisions relating thereto. For clarification, the Lenders who participate in the Requested Increased Commitment Amount shall have the same rights and obligations as currently contained in this Agreement, but subject to their respective Ratable Portion after giving effect to the Request for Increase and the amending agreement referred to in Subsection 2.23(c)(vi) below.
  • (c) In addition to the requirements set out in Section 2.23(a) above, the Requested Increased Commitment Amount shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
  • (i) a review by the Lenders, in their sole discretion, of the margin conditions, liquidity reserves and Excess Availability;

  • (iv) each existing Lender that has agreed to such Request for Increase has received final internal approval to their Rateable Portion of the Requested Increased Commitment Amount;

  • (v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred that is continuing under this Agreement or would occur as a result of such increase as determined by the Agent and Lenders;
  • (vi) payment of increased fees as determined by the Lenders in their reasonable discretion; and
  • (vii) the Borrower shall deliver an amending agreement to the Credit Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and Lenders, which amendment may contain, inter alia, additional or modified terms and conditions, together with such additional Security, other Documents and supporting certificates, resolutions and opinions of the Borrower's Counsel as may be required by the Agent and Lenders, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders.

(1) Whenever a rate of interest or other rate per annum hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the "deemed year") which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

(2) Whenever a rate of interest or other rate per annum hereunder is expressed or calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days, such rate of interest or other rate shall be expressed as a rate per annum, calculated on the basis of a 365 day year, by multiplying such rate of interest or other rate by 365 and dividing it by 360.

(3) The Borrower acknowledges and confirms that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are each able to calculate the yearly rate or percentage of interest payable under any document based on the methodology set out herein and under the other Documents, including this Article 5 and the constituent definitions herein and under the other Documents relating to interest and other amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

(4) To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees not to, and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the documents, that the interest payable under the Documents and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.

5.5 Nominal Rates; No Deemed Reinvestment

The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for deemed reinvestment or otherwise, before and after maturity, default and judgment. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates. Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.

5.6 Standby Fees

(1) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders a standby fee in Canadian Dollars in respect of the Operating Facility calculated at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Pricing Rate on the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Outstanding Principal under the Operating Facility, for each day in the period of determination is less than the maximum amount for each such day of the Operating Facility. Fees determined in accordance

with this Section shall accrue daily from and after the date hereof and shall be calculated quarterly in arrears to and including the last day of each calendar quarter and shall be payable on the third day following each such calendar quarter and on cancellation in full of the Operating Facility on the Maturity Date.

(2) For purposes of calculating standby fees payable pursuant to this Section 5.6 with respect to the Operating Facility, the Outstanding Principal from time to time in United States Dollars on each day during the period for which such standby fees are payable shall, for the purposes of determining an Equivalent Amount on such day, be notionally converted to the Equivalent Amount in Canadian Dollars using the Exchange Rate for converting United States Dollars to Canadian Dollars on the first Banking Day of each calendar month for any calculation with respect to each month in the calculation period.

5.7 Agent's Fees

From and after the date hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for its own account, until the Credit Facilities have been fully cancelled and all Obligations hereunder have been paid in full, the non-refundable agency fees agreed to in writing from time to time between the Borrower and the Agent including such fees provided for in the Fee Agreement.

5.8 Upfront Fee

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, the upfront fee set out in the Fee Agreement payable on the dates set out therein.

5.9 Intentionally Deleted

5.10 Field Examination Fees

The Borrower shall, forthwith upon request by the Agent, pay to the Agent a fee for each field examination of the ABL Collateral performed by the Agent or its agents or representatives, calculated in a manner consistent with the Agent's normal practices at the Agent's then standard rate charged by it for such field examinations and the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith.

5.11 Monthly Administration Fees

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent an administration fee in the amount of \$1,750 on the first Banking Day of each calendar month (provided that the monthly administration fee for the calendar month during which the initial Advance is made hereunder shall be pro-rated, based upon the number of days in such calendar month) and such administration fee shall be paid by the Borrower so long as any Obligations remain owing to any Lender or any Lender has any obligation to make any Advance available to the Borrower.

5.12 Interest on Overdue Amounts

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event that any amount due hereunder (including any interest payment) is not paid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay interest on such unpaid amount (including interest on interest), if and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, from the date that such amount is due until the date that such amount is paid in full (but excluding the date of such payment if the payment is received for value at the required place of payment on the date of such payment), and such interest shall accrue daily, be calculated and compounded monthly and be payable on demand, after as well as before maturity, default and judgment, at a rate per annum that is equal to (i) in respect of amounts due in Canadian Dollars, the rate of interest then payable on Canadian Prime Rate Loans plus 2.0% per annum or (ii) in respect of amounts due in United States Dollars the rate of interest then payable on the U.S. Base Rate Loans plus 2.0% per annum.

5.13 Waiver

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the covenant of the Borrower to pay interest at the rates provided herein shall not merge in any judgment relating to any obligation of the Borrower to the Lenders or the Agent and any provision of the Interest Act (Canada), Judgment Interest Act (Alberta) or any other Applicable Law which restricts any rate of interest set forth herein shall be inapplicable to this Agreement and is hereby waived by the Borrower.

5.14 Maximum Rate Permitted by Law

No interest or fee to be paid hereunder shall be paid at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. In the event that such interest or fee exceeds such maximum rate, such interest or fees shall be reduced or refunded, as the case may be, so as to be payable at the highest rate recoverable under Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 6 BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES

6.1 Bankers' Acceptances

The Borrower may give the Agent notice that Bankers' Acceptances will be required under a Credit Facility pursuant to a Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion.

6.2 Fees

Upon the acceptance by a Lender of a Bankers' Acceptance, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender a fee in Canadian Dollars equal to the Applicable Pricing Rate calculated on the principal amount at maturity of such Bankers' Acceptance and for the period of time from and including the date of acceptance to but excluding the maturity date of such

Bankers' Acceptance and calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days or 366 days, as applicable.

6.3 Form and Execution of Bankers' Acceptances

The following provisions shall apply to each Bankers' Acceptance hereunder:

  • (a) the face amount at maturity of each draft drawn by the Borrower to be accepted as a Bankers' Acceptance shall be Cdn.\$1,000,000 and in integral multiples of \$100,000;
  • (b) the term to maturity of each draft drawn by the Borrower to be accepted as a Bankers' Acceptance shall, subject to market availability as determined by the Lenders, be 28-92 days (or such other longer or shorter term as agreed by the Lenders), as selected by the Borrower in the relevant Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion Notice, and each Bankers' Acceptance shall be payable and mature on the last day of the Interest Period selected by the Borrower for such Bankers' Acceptance (which, for certainty, pursuant to the definition of "Interest Period" shall be on or prior to the Maturity Date);
  • (c) each draft drawn by the Borrower and presented for acceptance by a Lender shall be drawn on the standard form of such Lender in effect at the time; provided, however, that the Agent may require the Lenders to use a generic form of Bankers' Acceptance, in a form satisfactory to each Lender, acting reasonably, provided by the Agent for such purpose in place of the Lenders' own forms;
  • (d) subject to Section 6.3(e) below, Bankers' Acceptances shall be signed by duly authorized officers of the Borrower or, in the alternative, the signatures of such officers may be mechanically reproduced in facsimile thereon and Bankers' Acceptances bearing such facsimile signatures shall be binding on the Borrower as if they had been manually executed and delivered by such officers on behalf of the Borrower; notwithstanding that any person whose manual or facsimile signature appears on any Bankers' Acceptance may no longer be an authorized signatory for the Borrower on the date of issuance of a Bankers' Acceptance, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such Bankers' Acceptance shall be binding on the Borrower; and
  • (e) in lieu of signing Bankers' Acceptances in accordance with Section 6.3(d) above, the Borrower may provide a Power of Attorney to a Lender; for so long as a Power of Attorney is in force with respect to a given Lender, such Lender shall execute and deliver Bankers' Acceptances on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the

provisions thereof and, for certainty, all references herein to drafts drawn by the Borrower, Bankers' Acceptances executed by the Borrower or similar expressions shall be deemed to include Bankers' Acceptances executed in accordance with a Power of Attorney, unless the context otherwise requires.

6.4 Power of Attorney; Provision of Bankers' Acceptances to Lenders

(1) Unless revoked with respect to a given Lender in accordance herewith, the Borrower hereby appoints each Lender, acting by any authorized signatory of the Lender in question, the attorney of the Borrower:

  • (a) to sign for and on behalf and in the name of the Borrower as drawer, drafts in such Lender's standard form which are depository bills as defined in the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada) (the "DBNA"), payable to a "clearing house" (as defined in the DBNA) (the "clearing house");
  • (b) for drafts which are not depository bills, to sign for and on behalf and in the name of the Borrower as drawer and to endorse on its behalf, Bankers' Acceptances drawn on the Lender payable to the order of the undersigned or payable to the order of such Lender;
  • (c) to fill in the amount, date and maturity date of such Bankers' Acceptances; and
  • (d) to deposit and/or deliver such Bankers' Acceptances which have been accepted by such Lender,

provided that such acts in each case are to be undertaken by the Lender in question strictly in accordance with instructions given to such Lender by the Borrower as provided in this Section. For certainty, signatures of any authorized signatory of a Lender may be mechanically reproduced in facsimile on Bankers' Acceptances in accordance herewith and such facsimile signatures shall be binding and effective as if they had been manually executed by such authorized signatory of such Lender.

Instructions from the Borrower to a Lender relating to the execution, completion, endorsement, deposit and/or delivery by that Lender on behalf of the Borrower of Bankers' Acceptances which the Borrower wishes to submit to the Lender for acceptance by the Lender shall be communicated by the Borrower in writing to the Agent by delivery to the Agent of Drawdown Notices, Conversion Notices and Rollover Notices, as the case may be, in accordance with this Agreement which, in turn, shall be communicated by the Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, to the Lender.

The communication in writing by the Borrower, or on behalf of the Borrower by the Agent, to the Lender of the instructions set out in the Drawdown Notices, Conversion Notices and

Rollover Notices referred to above shall constitute (a) the authorization and instruction of the Borrower to the Lender to sign for and on behalf and in the name of the Borrower as drawer the requested Bankers' Acceptances and to complete and/or endorse Bankers' Acceptances in accordance with such information as set out above and (b) the request of the Borrower to the Lender to accept such Bankers' Acceptances and deposit the same with the clearing house or deliver the same, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and such instructions. The Borrower acknowledges that a Lender shall not be obligated to accept any such Bankers' Acceptances except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

A Lender shall be and it is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Borrower upon and in compliance with instructions communicated to that Lender as provided herein if the Lender reasonably believes such instructions to be genuine. If a Lender accepts Bankers' Acceptances pursuant to any such instructions, that Lender shall confirm particulars of such instructions and advise the Agent that it has complied therewith by notice in writing addressed to the Agent and served personally or sent by telecopier in accordance with the provisions hereof. A Lender's actions in compliance with such instructions, confirmed and advised to the Agent by such notice, shall be conclusively deemed to have been in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower.

This power of attorney may be revoked by the Borrower with respect to any particular Lender at any time upon not less than 5 Banking Days' prior written notice served upon the Lender in question and the Agent, provided that no such revocation shall reduce, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Bankers' Acceptance executed, completed, endorsed, deposited and/or delivered in accordance herewith prior to the time at which such revocation becomes effective.

(2) Unless the Borrower has provided Powers of Attorney to the Lenders, to facilitate Drawdowns, Rollovers or Conversions of Bankers' Acceptances, the Borrower shall, upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter from time to time as required by the Lenders, provide to the Agent for delivery to each Lender drafts drawn in blank by the Borrower (pre endorsed and otherwise in fully negotiable form, if applicable) in quantities sufficient for each Lender to fulfil its obligations hereunder. Any such pre signed drafts which are delivered by the Borrower to the Agent or a Lender shall be held in safekeeping by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, with the same degree of care as if they were the Agent's or such Lender's property, and shall only be dealt with by the Lenders and the Agent in accordance herewith. No Lender shall be responsible or liable for its failure to make its share of any Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion of Bankers' Acceptances required hereunder if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of the Borrower to provide such pre signed drafts to the Agent (for delivery to such Lender) on a timely basis.

(3) By 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the applicable Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date, the Borrower shall (a) either deliver to each Lender in Toronto, or, if previously

delivered, be deemed to have authorized each Lender to complete and accept, or (b) where the Borrower has previously executed and delivered a Power of Attorney to the Lender, be deemed to have authorized each such Lender to sign on behalf of the Borrower, complete and accept, drafts drawn by the Borrower on such Lender in a principal amount at maturity equal to such Lender's share of the Bankers' Acceptances specified by the Borrower in the relevant Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as the case may be, as notified to the Lenders by the Agent.

6.5 Mechanics of Issuance

(1) Upon receipt by the Agent of a Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice from the Borrower requesting the issuance of Bankers' Acceptances, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof and advise each Lender of the aggregate face amount of Bankers' Acceptances to be accepted by such Lender, the date of issue, the Interest Period for such Loan and, whether such Bankers' Acceptances are to be self-marketed by the Borrower or purchased by such Lender for its own account; the apportionment among the Lenders of the face amounts of Bankers' Acceptances to be accepted by each Lender shall be determined by the Agent by reference and in proportion to the respective Commitments of each Lender, provided that, when such apportionment cannot be evenly made, the Agent shall round allocations amongst such Lenders consistent with the Agent's normal money market practices.

(2) Unless the Borrower has elected pursuant to Section 6.5(3) to have each Lender purchase for its own account the Bankers' Acceptances to be accepted by it in respect of any Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion, on each Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date involving the issuance of Bankers' Acceptances:

  • (a) the Borrower shall obtain quotations from prospective purchasers regarding the sale of the Bankers' Acceptances and shall accept such offers in its sole discretion;
  • (b) by no later than 8:30 a.m. (Toronto time) on such date, the Borrower shall provide the Agent with details regarding the sale of the Bankers' Acceptances described in (a) above whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the identity of the purchasers of such Bankers' Acceptances, the amounts being purchased by such purchasers, the Discount Proceeds and the acceptance fees applicable to such issue of Bankers' Acceptances (including each Lender's share thereof);
  • (c) each Lender shall complete and accept in accordance with the Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice delivered by the Borrower and advised by the Agent in connection with such issue, its share of the Bankers' Acceptances to be issued on such date; and
  • (d) in the case of a Drawdown, each Lender shall, on receipt of the Discount Proceeds, remit the Discount Proceeds (net of the acceptance fee payable to such Lender

pursuant to Section 6.2) to the Agent for the account of the Borrower; the Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower for same day.

(3) The Borrower may, with respect to the issuance of Bankers' Acceptances hereunder from time to time, elect in the Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as the case may be, delivered in respect of such issuance to have the Lenders purchase such Bankers' Acceptances for their own account. On each such Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date involving the issuance of Bankers' Acceptances being so purchased by the Lenders:

  • (a) before 8:30 a.m. (Toronto time) on such date, the Agent shall determine the CDOR Rate and, if applicable, shall obtain quotations from each Schedule II Lender or Schedule III Lender of the Discount Rate then applicable to bankers' acceptances accepted by such Schedule II Lender or Schedule III Lender in respect of an issue of bankers' acceptances in a comparable amount and with comparable maturity to the Bankers' Acceptances proposed to be issued on such date;
  • (b) as soon as possible on such date, the Agent shall determine the BA Discount Rate applicable to each Lender and shall advise each Lender of the BA Discount Rate applicable to it;
  • (c) each Lender shall complete and accept, in accordance with the Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice delivered by the Borrower and advised by the Agent in connection with such issue, its share of the Bankers' Acceptances to be issued on such date and shall purchase such Bankers' Acceptances for its own account at a purchase price which reflects the BA Discount Rate applicable to such issue; and
  • (d) in the case of a Drawdown, each Lender shall, for same day value on the Drawdown Date, remit the Discount Proceeds or advance the BA Equivalent Advance, as the case may be, payable by such Lender (net of the acceptance fee payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 6.2) to the Agent for the account of the Borrower; the Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower for same day value.
  • (e) Each Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers' Acceptances accepted and purchased by it for its own account.

6.6 Rollover, Conversion or Payment on Maturity

In anticipation of the maturity of Bankers' Acceptances, the Borrower shall, subject to and in accordance with the requirements hereof, do one or a combination of the following with respect to the aggregate face amount at maturity of all such Bankers' Acceptances:

  • (a) (i) deliver to the Agent a Rollover Notice that the Borrower intends to draw and present for acceptance on the maturity date new Bankers' Acceptances (issued under the same Credit Facility as the maturing Bankers' Acceptances) in an aggregate face amount up to the aggregate amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and (ii) on the maturity date pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an additional amount equal to the difference between the aggregate face amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and the Discount Proceeds of such new Bankers' Acceptances;
  • (b) (i) deliver to the Agent a Conversion Notice requesting a Conversion of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances to another type of Loan under the same Credit Facility as the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and (ii) on the maturity date pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the aggregate face amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and the amount of the Loans into which Conversion is requested; or
  • (c) on the maturity date of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances, pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of such Bankers' Acceptances.

If the Borrower fails to so notify the Agent or make such payments on maturity, the Agent shall effect a Conversion into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan under the same Credit Facility as the maturing Bankers' Acceptances of the entire amount of such maturing Bankers' Acceptances as if a Conversion Notice had been given by the Borrower to the Agent to that effect.

6.7 Restriction on Rollovers and Conversions

Subject to the other provisions hereof, Conversions and Rollovers of Bankers' Acceptances may only occur on the maturity date thereof.

6.8 Rollovers

Without duplication of the obligations of the Borrower under Section 6.6(a), in order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Borrower to a Lender for the face amount of maturing Bankers' Acceptances accepted by such Lender, the Lender shall receive and retain for its own account the Discount Proceeds of new Bankers' Acceptances issued on a Rollover, and the Borrower shall on the maturity date of the Bankers' Acceptances being rolled over pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the face amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances and the Discount Proceeds from the new Bankers' Acceptances, together with the acceptance fees to which the Lenders are entitled pursuant to Section 6.2.

6.9 Conversion into Bankers' Acceptances

Without duplication of the obligations of the Borrower under Section 6.6(b), in respect of Conversions into Bankers' Acceptances, in order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Borrower to the Lenders for the amount of the converted Loan, each Lender shall receive and retain for its own account the Discount Proceeds of the Bankers' Acceptances issued upon such Conversion, and the Borrower shall on the Conversion Date pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the principal amount of the converted Loan and the aggregate Discount Proceeds from the Bankers' Acceptances issued on such Conversion, together with the acceptance fees to which the Lenders are entitled pursuant to Section 6.2.

6.10 Conversion from Bankers' Acceptances

In order to satisfy the continuing liability of the Borrower to the Lenders for an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptances converted to another type of Loan, the Agent shall record the obligation of the Borrower to the Lenders as a Loan of the type into which such continuing liability has been converted.

6.11 BA Equivalent Advances

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, a Non-Acceptance Lender shall, in lieu of accepting Bankers' Acceptances, make a BA Equivalent Advance. The amount of each BA Equivalent Advance shall be equal to the Discount Proceeds which would be realized from a hypothetical sale of those Bankers' Acceptances which, but for this Section, such Lender would otherwise be required to accept as part of such a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers' Acceptances. To determine the amount of such Discount Proceeds, the hypothetical sale shall be deemed to take place at the BA Discount Rate for such Loan. Any BA Equivalent Advance shall be made on the relevant Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date as the case may be and shall remain outstanding for the term of the relevant Bankers' Acceptances. Concurrent with the making of a BA Equivalent Advance, a Non-Acceptance Lender shall be entitled to deduct therefrom an amount equal to the acceptance fee which, but for this Section, such Lender would otherwise be entitled to receive as part of such Loan. Subject to Section 6.6, upon the maturity date for such Bankers' Acceptances, the Borrower shall pay to each Non-Acceptance Lender an amount equal to the face amount at maturity of the Bankers' Acceptances which, but for this Section, such Lender would otherwise be required to accept as part of such a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers' Acceptances.

All references herein to "Loans" and "Bankers' Acceptances" shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include BA Equivalent Advances made by a Non-Acceptance Lender as part of a Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of Bankers' Acceptances.

6.12 Termination of Bankers' Acceptances

If at any time a Lender ceases to accept bankers' acceptances in the ordinary course of its business, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Acceptance Lender and shall make BA Equivalent Advances in lieu of accepting Bankers' Acceptances under this Agreement.

6.13 Borrower Acknowledgements

In the event that the Borrower is marketing its own Bankers' Acceptances in accordance with Section 6.5(2), the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall make its own arrangements for the marketing and sale of the Bankers' Acceptances to be issued hereunder and that the Lender shall have no obligation nor be responsible in that regard. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that the availability of purchasers for Bankers' Acceptances requested to be issued hereunder, as well as all risks relating to the purchasers thereof, are its own risk.

ARTICLE 7 LETTERS OF CREDIT

7.1 Availability

Subject to the provisions hereof, the Borrower may require that Letters of Credit be issued by the Fronting Lender under the Operating Facility or the SBLC Facility, as applicable, in accordance with the Drawdown Notices and Rollover Notices of the Borrower; provided that, (i) upon issuing such Letter of Credit under the Operating Facility, the aggregate Outstanding Principal represented by all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Operating Facility shall not exceed (A) prior to the EDC Amendment and provided that the EDC Guarantee remains in full force and effect, Cdn.\$16,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount thereof in United States Dollars), (B) after the EDC Amendment provided that the EDC Guarantee remains in full force and effect, Cdn.\$12,500,000 (or the Equivalent Amount thereof in United States Dollars) and (C) following the termination of the EDC Guarantee, Cdn.\$24,500,000 (or the Equivalent Amount thereof in United States Dollars) or (ii) upon issuing such Letter of Credit under the SBLC Facility, the amount equal to the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the SBLC Facility shall not exceed the SBLC Facility Commitment. The issuance of Letters of Credit shall constitute Drawdowns or Rollovers (as applicable) hereunder and shall reduce the availability of the applicable Credit Facility by the amount equal to the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under such Credit Facility.

7.2 Currency, Type, Form and Expiry

Letters of Credit issued pursuant hereto shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Dollars and amounts payable thereunder shall be paid in the currency in which the Letter of Credit is denominated. A Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be issued as a Fronted LC by the

Fronting Lender under the Operating Facility or the SBLC Facility, as applicable, and shall be in a form satisfactory to the Fronting Lender, acting reasonably, and shall have an expiration date not in excess of one year from the date of issue (provided that this limitation shall not preclude the Fronting Lender from issuing "evergreen" Letters of Credit) and, in any event, not later than the then current Maturity Date or otherwise extended with the consent of the Fronting Lender. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided to the Fronting Lender cash collateral or letters of credit (or any combination thereof) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17(2) in an amount equal to or greater than the aggregate undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit outstanding under the Operating Facility and the SBLC Facility, as applicable; such cash collateral and letters of credit shall be held by the Fronting Lender and be applied in accordance with said Section 2.17(2) in satisfaction of and security for the Obligations of the Borrower for such unexpired Letters of Credit.

7.3 No Conversion

Except as provided in Section 7.6, the Borrower may not effect a Conversion of a Letter of Credit.

7.4 Fronted LC Provisions

(1) With respect to Fronted LCs, the Fronting Lender will exercise and give the same care and attention to each Fronted LC issued by it hereunder as it gives to its other letters of credit and similar obligations, and the Fronting Lender's sole liability to each applicable Lender shall be to promptly return to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, each such Lender's Rateable Portion of any payments made to the Fronting Lender by the Borrower hereunder (other than the fees and amounts payable to the Fronting Lender for its own account) if the Borrower has made a payment to the Fronting Lender hereunder. Each applicable Lender agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Fronted LC, the Fronting Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than as expressly required by such Fronted LC) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any person delivering any such document. Neither the Fronting Lender nor any of its representatives, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for:

  • (a) any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the applicable Lenders;
  • (b) any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Fronted LC in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or
  • (c) the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, or enforceability of any Fronted LC, or any other document contemplated thereby.

The Fronting Lender shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper person or persons.

(2) The Borrower and each applicable Lender hereby authorize the Fronting Lender to review on behalf of each such applicable Lender each draft and other document presented under each Fronted LC issued by the Fronting Lender. The determination of the Fronting Lender as to the conformity of any documents presented under a Fronted LC issued by it to the requirements of such Fronted LC shall, in the absence of the Fronting Lender's gross negligence or wilful misconduct, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each applicable Lender. The Fronting Lender shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Fronted LC issued by it. The Fronting Lender shall promptly after such examination:

  • (a) notify the Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment;
  • (b) deliver to the Agent a copy of each document purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Fronted LC; and
  • (c) notify the Agent and the Borrower whether said demand for payment was properly made under such Fronted LC.

7.5 Records

The Fronting Lender shall maintain records showing the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder and each Lender's share of such amount and showing for each Letter of Credit issued hereunder:

  • (a) the dates of issuance and expiration thereof;
  • (b) the amount thereof; and
  • (c) the date and amount of all payments made thereunder.

The Fronting Lender shall make copies of such records available to the Borrower, the Agent or any Lender upon its request.

7.6 Reimbursement or Conversion on Presentation;

(1) On presentation of a Letter of Credit issued under the Operating Facility and payment thereunder by the Fronting Lender, the Borrower shall forthwith pay to and reimburse the Fronting Lender for all amounts paid pursuant to such Letter of Credit or, failing such payment,

the Borrower shall be deemed to have effected a Conversion of the amount so paid pursuant to such Letter of Credit into: (a) a Canadian Prime Rate Loan in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars or (b) a U.S. Base Rate Loan in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in United States Dollars, in each case, to the extent of the payment by the Fronting Lender thereunder.

(2) On presentation of a Letter of Credit issued under the SBLC Facility and payment thereunder by the Fronting Lender, the Fronting Lender shall be paid and reimbursed for all amounts paid for such Letter of Credit by the Fronting Lender, in accordance with and pursuant to the EDC Guarantee.

7.7 Fronting Lender Indemnity

(1) If the Fronting Lender makes payment under any Fronted LC issued under the Operating Facility and the Borrower does not fully reimburse the Fronting Lender on or before the date of payment, then Section 7.6 (1) shall apply to deem a Loan to be outstanding to the Borrower under this Agreement in the manner herein set out. Each applicable Lender shall, on request by the Fronting Lender, immediately pay to the Fronting Lender an amount equal to such applicable Lender's Rateable Portion of the amount paid by the Fronting Lender such that each such applicable Lender is participating in the deemed Loan in accordance with its Rateable Portion and, for certainty, regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default is then outstanding or whether any other condition to the making of a Loan has been satisfied or not.

(2) If the Fronting Lender makes payment under any Fronted LC issued under the SBLC Facility, then Section 7.6(2) shall apply and the Fronting Lender shall be reimbursed pursuant to the EDC Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any other Document:

  • (a) all Outstanding Principal and other Obligations outstanding under the SBLC Facility shall be owing solely to the Fronting Lender, and no other Lender shall be required in any circumstance (including as a result of Acceleration or Insolvency Event) to participate in Loans under the SBLC Facility; and

  • (a) the validity, correctness, genuineness or legal effect of any document or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, even if such document or instrument should in fact prove to be in any respect invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;
  • (b) the failure of any document or instrument to bear any reference or adequate reference to any Letter of Credit;
  • (c) any failure to note the amount of any Draft on any Letter of Credit or on any related document or instrument; any failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to meet the obligations of such beneficiary to the Borrower or any other person;

  • (d) any errors, inaccuracies, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, directions or correspondence by mail, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they are in cipher;

  • (e) any inaccuracies in the translation of any messages, directions or correspondence or for errors in the interpretation of any technical terms; or

  • (3) Obligations Unconditional

The obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be reduced by any event, circumstance or occurrence, including any lack of validity or enforceability of a Letter of Credit, or any Draft paid or acted upon by the Fronting Lender, the Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective correspondents being fraudulent, forged, invalid or insufficient in any respect (except with respect to their gross negligence or wilful misconduct or payment under a Letter of Credit other than in substantial compliance herewith), or any set off, defenses, rights or claims which the Borrower may have against any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to any alteration to or extension of the expiration date of any Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued to replace, extend or alter any Letter of Credit.

(4) Other Actions

Any action, inaction or omission taken or suffered by the Fronting Lender, the Agent or any Lenders or by any of their respective correspondents under or in connection with a Letter of Credit or any Draft made thereunder, if in good faith and in conformity with foreign or domestic laws, regulation or customs applicable thereto shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not place the Fronting Lender, the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective correspondents under any resulting liability to the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Fronting Lender, the Agent, any Lender and their respective correspondents may receive, accept or pay as complying with the terms of a Letter of Credit, any Draft thereunder, otherwise in order which may be signed by, or issued to, the administrator or any executor of, or the trustee in bankruptcy of, or the receiver for any property of, or any person or entity acting as a representative or in the place of, such beneficiary or its successors and assigns. The Borrower covenants that it will not take any steps, issue any instructions to the Fronting Lender, the Agent, any Lender or any

of their respective correspondents or institute any proceedings intended to derogate from the right or ability of the Fronting Lender, the Agent, any Lender or their respective correspondents to honour and pay any Letter of Credit or any Drafts.

(5) Payment of Contingent Liabilities

The Borrower shall pay to the Fronting Lender an amount equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn under any unexpired Letter of Credit which becomes the subject of any order, judgment, injunction or other such determination (an "Order"), or any petition, proceeding or other application for any Order by the Borrower or any other party, restricting payment under and in accordance with such Letter of Credit or extending the Fronting Lender's or Lenders liability, as the case may be, under such Letter of Credit beyond the expiration date stated therein; payment in respect of each such Letter of Credit shall be due forthwith upon demand in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated.

Any amount paid to the Fronting Lender pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be held by the Fronting Lender in interest bearing cash collateral accounts (with interest payable for the account of the Borrower at the rates and in accordance with the then prevailing practices of the Agent for accounts of such type) as continuing security for the Obligations (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent a fixed charge and specific Security Interest in such amounts as security for the Obligations) and shall, prior to an Event of Default be applied by the Fronting Lender against the Obligations for, or (at the option of the Fronting Lender) be applied in payment of, such Letter of Credit if payment is required thereunder; after an Event of Default the Agent may apply such amounts, firstly, against any Obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit, and, after satisfaction of such Obligations or expiry of such Letter of Credit, against any other Obligations as it sees fit or as is directed by the Lenders.

The Fronting Lender shall release to the Borrower any amount remaining in the cash collateral accounts after applying the amounts necessary to discharge the Obligations relating to such Letter of Credit, upon the later of:

  • (a) the date on which any final and non-appealable order, judgment or other determination has been rendered or issued either terminating any applicable Order or permanently enjoining the Fronting Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, from paying under such Letter of Credit;
  • (b) the earlier of:
  • (i) the date on which either the original counterpart of such Letter of Credit is returned to the Fronting Lender for cancellation or the Fronting Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, is or are released by the beneficiary thereof from any other obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit; and

  • (ii) the expiry of such Letter of Credit; and

  • (c) if an Event of Default has occurred, the payment and satisfaction of all Obligations and the cancellation or termination of the Credit Facilities.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Documents to the contrary, the Fronting Lender, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable to the Borrower for any consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary damages with respect to action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in respect of any Letter of Credit.

(7) Uniform Customs and Practice

The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the "Uniform Customs") shall in all respects apply to each Letter of Credit unless expressly provided to the contrary therein and shall be deemed for such purpose to be a part of this Agreement as if fully incorporated herein. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Uniform Customs and the governing law of this Agreement, the Uniform Customs shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, prevail to the extent necessary to remove the conflict or inconsistency.

7.10 Certain Notices to the Agent with Respect to Letters of Credit

The Borrower shall cause (i) each of the other Loan Parties organized in Canada to execute and deliver Security (or confirmations in respect thereof, as applicable) in the form of Schedules H-1 and H-2 annexed hereto, in each case with such modifications and insertions as may be required by the Agent, acting reasonably and, to the extent such other Loan Party owns real property in Canada, a mortgage in each applicable jurisdiction in a form acceptable to the Agent and the Majority of the Lenders and (ii) the Loan Parties organized in the United States of America to execute and deliver Security (or confirmations in respect thereof, as applicable) in the forms of Schedules H-1 and H-3 annexed hereto, in each case with such amendments, modifications and insertions as may be required by the Agent, acting reasonably and, to the extent such Loan Party owns real property in North Dakota or Wisconsin, a mortgage in each applicable jurisdiction in a form acceptable to the Agent and the Majority of the Lenders.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any real property has a fair market value of less than U.S.\$200,000 and the applicable Restricted Group member will not be required to provide a mortgage over such property to the Senior Secured Collateral Agent, then the applicable Restricted Group member shall not be required to provide a mortgage over such property to the Agent. For greater certainty, if at any time a Restricted Group member provides, or is required to provide, a mortgage over any real property to the Senior Secured Collateral Agent, such Restricted Group member shall also be required to provide a mortgage over such property to the Agent, notwithstanding the exception provided in the first sentence of this Section 11.1(3).

(4) The Borrower (i) shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, give written notice to the Agent of the acquisition, creation or existence of each Restricted Subsidiary of either the Borrower or Source US created or acquired after the date hereof and which is required to provide Security pursuant to this Agreement, together with such other information as the Agent may reasonably require, and (ii) shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Banking Days of such acquisition, creation or existence (or such other time period agreed to by the Majority of the Lenders), cause each such new Restricted Subsidiary to promptly execute and deliver to the Agent the Security contemplated hereby (together with a certified copy of its constating documents and a legal opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, acting reasonably).

(5) If a member of the Restricted Group acquires or creates another Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date, or if Parent designates an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted

Subsidiary in accordance with Section 11.1(8), then the Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Banking Days after any such occurrence, cause such Restricted Subsidiary which is not then a Loan Party to provide Security pursuant hereto (together with a certified copy of its constating documents and a legal opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, acting reasonably). Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this

(6) In addition to the Security described in subsections (1) and (2) of this Section 11.1 but subject to Section 11.1(3), the Borrower shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, all such guarantees and mortgages, debentures, pledge agreements, assignments and other security agreements as may be required by the Agent, acting reasonably (each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, acting reasonably) in order to, or to more effectively, charge in favour of the Agent or grant Security Interests in favour of the Agent on and against all of the Collateral of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (including with respect to the Sand Crusher), as continuing collateral security for the payment and performance by the Borrower of all Obligations, Lender Financial Instrument Obligations and Bank Product Obligations.

(7) The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, deposit all proceeds of ABL Collateral promptly upon receipt thereof into a Blocked Account (in the same form as received). Any proceeds of ABL Collateral received by any Loan Party, whether or not deposited into a Blocked Account, shall be held in trust for the Agent and the Lenders in the same form in which received and shall not be commingled with any other assets of such Loan Party. Subject to any specific arrangement explicitly set out in a Blocked Account Agreement, no amounts deposited in a Blocked Account shall be released to any Loan Party, but shall instead be applied on a daily basis to, or otherwise held for application to, or as Security for, the outstanding Obligations of the Loan Parties to the Agent and the Lenders, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding such application, the Borrower shall have the right to obtain additional Advances under this Agreement subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

(8) Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (unless such Default or Event of Default would be cured as a result of such designation), the Borrower may from time to time, by notice in writing to the Agent (together with reasonable particulars which demonstrate compliance with Section 5.7(a) or Section 5.7(d) of the Senior Secured Indenture, as applicable), be entitled to designate that either:

  • (a) any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or
  • (b) any of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries to be a Restricted Subsidiary.

(9) The Borrower shall ensure that, at all times, all registrations, filings and/or recordings of the Security shall have been made in all offices where such registration, filing or

Agreement.

recording is necessary or of advantage to the creation, perfection and preserving of the Security and the Security Interests created thereby to the extent required by this Agreement.

The Borrower shall, at its expense, register, file or record the Security in all offices and in all jurisdictions where such registration, filing or recording is necessary or of advantage to the creation, perfection and preserving of the security applicable to it, except to the extent such registration, filing or recording is not required by this Agreement and the Security. The Borrower shall amend and renew such registrations, filings and recordings from time to time as and when required to keep them in full force and effect or to preserve the priority established by any prior registration, filing or recording thereof.

The forms of Security for each Loan Party domiciled in the United States of America (except for Schedule H-1) shall have been or be prepared based upon the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws applicable therein, provided that if there is a U.S. mortgage over real property located in another State, the laws of such other State shall apply to such U.S. mortgage. The Agent shall have the right to require that:

  • (a) any such Security be amended to reflect any changes in such laws, whether arising as a result of statutory amendments, court decisions or otherwise, in order to confer upon the Agent the Security Interests intended to be created thereby; and
  • (b) the Borrower and each other Loan Party execute and deliver to the Agent such other and further debentures, mortgages, trust deeds, assignments and security agreements as may be reasonably required to ensure the Agent holds, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, first priority Security Interests on and against all of the ABL Collateral of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and a second priority Security Interest on all Senior Secured Collateral (subject only to the Senior Secured Collateral Agent's Security Interests in the Senior Secured Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Restated Intercreditor Agreement), including, without limitation, any supplements or amendments to existing Security required by the Agent in connection with, or as a result of (i) the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement effected hereby or (ii) the Post-Closing Undertaking (as defined in the Senior Secured Indenture) or any action taken in order to comply with the same.

except that in no event shall the Agent require that the foregoing be effected if the result thereof would be to grant the Agent or the Lenders greater rights than is otherwise contemplated herein or therein.

11.4 Continuing Security

Each item or part of the Security shall for all purposes be treated as a separate and continuing collateral security and shall be deemed to have been given in addition to and not in place of any other item or part of the Security or any other security now held or hereafter acquired by the Agent or the Lenders. No item or part of the Security shall be merged or be deemed to have been merged in or by this Agreement or any documents, instruments or acknowledgements delivered hereunder, or any simple contract debt or any judgment, and any realization of or steps taken under or pursuant to any security, instrument or agreement shall be independent of and not create a merger with any other right available to the Lenders or the Agent under any security, instruments or agreements held by it or at law or in equity.

11.5 Dealing with Security

The Agent may grant extensions of time or other indulgences, take and give up securities (including the Security or any part or parts thereof), accept compositions, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Borrower and other parties and with security (including the Security and each part thereof) as the Agent may see fit, without prejudice to or in any way limiting the liability of the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Documents or under any of the Security or any other collateral security.

11.6 Effectiveness

The Security and the security created by any other Document constituted or required to be created shall be effective, and the undertakings as to the Security herein or in any other Document shall be continuing, whether any Loans are then outstanding or any amounts thereby secured or any part thereof shall be owing before or after, or at the same time as, the creation of such Security Interests or before or after or upon the date of execution of any amendments to this Agreement.

11.7 Release and Discharge of Security

The Borrower and each other Loan Party shall not be discharged from the Security or any part thereof, other than to the extent that (i) such Security applies to a Permitted Disposition or (ii) such Security applies to a Loan Party that ceases to be a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with Section 11.1(8) (in which case the Security shall thereupon cease to apply to the subject matter thereof for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders) except by a written release and discharge signed by the Agent with the prior written consent of the Lenders. If all of the Obligations, Lender Financial Instrument Obligations and Bank Product Obligations have been

repaid, paid, satisfied and discharged, as the case may be, in full and the Credit Facilities have been fully cancelled, then the Agent shall cause it and the Lenders' interest in the Security to be released and discharged at the expense of the Borrower. The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, upon the written request of the Borrower, to, without further authorization from the Lenders, sign any and all releases, letters of no interest, or other documents or interests releasing Security as it applied to a Permitted Disposition and any other disposition permitted by Section 10.2(d).

shall in any manner, nor in any cause or proceeding, directly or indirectly, be taken to constitute a subordination of any Security Interest created pursuant to the Documents to any Permitted Encumbrance or to any other Security Interest or other obligation whatsoever, or that the Obligations under the Documents are in any way subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Permitted Debt, it being the intention of the parties that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Lenders in writing (including pursuant to the Restated Intercreditor Agreement), all Security Interests created pursuant to the Documents shall at all times, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, rank as first priority Security Interests in priority to Permitted Encumbrances and all other Security Interests or other obligations whatsoever and that the Obligations under the Documents will rank in right of payment at all times at least equally with such Permitted Debt.

11.10 Hedging Affiliates and Bank Product Providers

Each Lender hereby confirms to and agrees with the Agent and the other Lenders as follows:

  • (a) such Lender is, for the purpose of securing the Lender Financial Instrument Obligations owing to or in favour of its Hedging Affiliates or for securing Bank Product Obligations to or in favour of its Bank Product Providers, in each case pursuant to the Security, executing and delivering this Agreement both on its own behalf and as agent for and on behalf of such Hedging Affiliates and Bank Product Providers, as applicable;

  • (c) the Lender Financial Instruments of any such Hedging Affiliate or the Lender Financial Instrument Obligations owing to or in favour of any such Hedging Affiliate and the documentation respecting Bank Products of any such Bank Product Provider or the Bank Product Obligations owing to or in favour of any such Bank Product Provider shall not be included or taken into account for the purposes of Section 16.10 or (for certainty) in any determination of the Majority of the Lenders or the Lenders which shall be determined solely based upon the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder or the Outstanding Principal owing to the Lenders.

11.11 Security for Hedging with Former Lenders

If a Lender ceases to be a Lender under this Agreement (a "Former Lender"), all Lender Financial Instrument Obligations owing to such Former Lender and its Hedging Affiliates under Lender Financial Instruments entered into while such Former Lender was a Lender shall remain secured by the Security (equally and rateably) to the extent that such Lender Financial Instrument Obligations were secured by the Security prior to such Lender becoming a Former Lender and, subject to the following provisions of this Section 11.11 and unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein or in any other Document to "Lender Financial Instrument Obligations" shall include such obligations to a Former Lender and its Hedging Affiliates, all references herein

or in any other Document to "Lenders" shall include Former Lenders for the purposes of such obligations, all references herein or in any other Document to "Hedging Affiliates" shall include Affiliates of such Former Lenders for the purposes of such obligations and all references herein or in any other Document to "Lender Financial Instruments" shall include such Financial Instruments with a Former Lender and its Hedging Affiliates.

long as the Senior Secured Debt is outstanding), amounts which are received by the Agent from the Borrower to the extent that, and for so long as, such amounts may be required to satisfy: (i) any contingent or unmatured obligations or liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under the Documents; or (ii) the Borrowing Base.

12.7 Application and Sharing of Payments Following Acceleration

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any other Document and except as otherwise agreed to by all of the Lenders in their sole discretion, all monies and property received by the Lenders or the Agent for application in respect of the Obligations, the Bank Product Obligations and Lender Financial Instrument Obligations (collectively, the "Secured Obligations") subsequent to the Adjustment Time and all monies received as a result of a realization upon the Security (collectively, the "Realization Proceeds") shall be applied and distributed to the Lenders and the Agent in the order and manner set forth below:

  • (a) firstly, to the Agent on account of the Non-Additional Liquidity Facility Portion of its costs and expenses and then distributed proportionately to the Lenders in accordance with amounts owing to each Lender (in their capacity as Lenders and, if applicable, Hedging Affiliates) on account of the Non-Additional Liquidity Facility Portion of the costs and expenses of enforcement and realization upon the Security;
  • (b) secondly, distributed Rateably to the Lenders and Hedging Affiliates on account of the Operating Facility Obligations, the Lender Financial Instrument Obligations and the Bank Product Obligations;
  • (c) thirdly, to the Agent on account of the Additional Liquidity Facility Portion of its costs and expenses and then distributed proportionately to the Lenders in accordance with amounts owing to each Lender (in their capacity as Lenders and, if applicable, Hedging Affiliates) on account of the Additional Liquidity Facility Portion of the costs and expenses of enforcement and realization upon the Security;
  • (d) fourthly, distributed Rateably to the Lenders on account of the Additional Liquidity Facility Obligations;
  • (e) fifthly, distributed to the Fronting Lender on account of the SBLC Facility Obligations;

  • (g) seventhly, the balance, if any, shall be paid in accordance with Applicable Law.

12.8 Calculations as at the Adjustment Time

For the purposes of this Agreement, if:

  • (a) a Financial Instrument Demand for Payment has been delivered; or
  • (b) a Termination Event has occurred under any agreement evidencing a Lender Financial Instrument,

then any amount which is payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party under such Lender Financial Instrument in settlement of obligations arising thereunder as a result of the early termination of the Lender Financial Instrument shall be deemed to have become payable at the time of delivery of such Financial Instrument Demand for Payment or the time of occurrence of such Termination Event, as the case may be, notwithstanding that the amount payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party is to be subsequently calculated and notice thereof given to the Borrower or such other Loan Party in accordance with such Lender Financial Instrument.

12.9 Sharing Repayments

To the extent necessary to ensure that, and to give effect to the agreement that, the Obligations, the Bank Product Obligations and Lender Financial Instrument Obligations are secured equally and rateably, each Lender agrees that, subsequent to the Adjustment Time, it will at any time and from time to time upon the request of the Agent purchase undivided participations in the Obligations, the Bank Product Obligations and Lender Financial Instrument Obligations and make any other adjustments which may be necessary or appropriate, in order that Obligations, the Bank Product Obligations and Lender Financial Instrument Obligations which remain outstanding to each Lender and its Bank Product Providers or Hedging Affiliates are thereafter outstanding, as adjusted pursuant to this Section, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.7. The Borrower agrees to do, or cause to be done (whether by it or another Loan Party), all things reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to any and all purchases and other adjustments by and between the Lenders pursuant to this Section.

12.10 Adjustments Among Lenders under Operating Facility

(1) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any other Document to the contrary, if all Obligations become due and payable pursuant to Section 12.2 (an "Acceleration") or if an Insolvency Event shall occur and be continuing:

(a) each Lender agrees that it shall, at any time or from time to time thereafter at the request of the Agent as required by any Lender, (i) purchase at par on a nonrecourse basis a participation in the Loans (including Letters of Credit) owing to each other Lender under each of the Operating Facility and Additional Liquidity Facility and (ii) effect such other transactions and make such other adjustments as

are necessary or appropriate, in order that the aggregate Outstanding Principal owing to each of the Lenders under each of the Operating Facility and Additional Liquidity Facility, in each case as adjusted pursuant to this Section 12.10, shall be in the same proportion as each Lender's (x) Operating Facility Commitment to the Total Operating Facility Commitment and (y) Additional Liquidity Facility Commitment to the Total Additional Liquidity Facility Commitment, in each case, immediately prior to the Acceleration or Insolvency Event, as the case may be; and

(b) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary under or pursuant to the Documents, any proceeds from the exercise of any rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under the Documents and any distribution or payment received by the Agent or the Lenders with respect to the Borrower, the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up, liquidation, arrangement, compromise or composition, shall be applied against the Outstanding Principal under each of the Operating Facility and the Additional Liquidity Facility, in each case, in a manner so that, to the extent possible, the Outstanding Principal owing to each of the Lenders under each of the Operating Facility and the Additional Liquidity Facility, in each case, will be in the same proportion as each Lender's (x) Operating Facility Commitment to the Total Operating Facility Commitment and (y) Additional Liquidity Facility Commitment to the Total Additional Liquidity Facility Commitment, in each case, immediately prior to the Acceleration or Insolvency Event, as the case may be.

(2) Each Lender shall, at any time and from time to time at the request of the Agent as required by any Lender, execute and deliver such agreements, instruments and other documents and take such other steps and actions as may be required to confirm, evidence or give effect to the foregoing.

(3) For certainty, the provisions of this Section 12.10 are unconditional and irrevocable and (a) the Lenders shall be obligated to purchase participations and to effect the transactions and adjustments contemplated by this Section 12.10 and (b) the other provisions hereof shall operate and apply, in each case, in all events and circumstances and irrespective of whether any condition precedent in Article 3 of this Agreement is met.

ARTICLE 13 CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

13.1 Market Disruption Respecting Libor Loans

(1) In the event that at any time subsequent to the giving of a Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice to the Agent by the Borrower with regard to any requested Libor Loan, subject to Section 13.8:

  • (a) the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest with respect to, or deposits are not available in sufficient amounts in the ordinary course of business at the rate determined hereunder to fund, a requested Libor Loan during the ensuing Interest Period selected;
  • (b) the Agent (acting reasonably) determines that the making or continuing of the requested Libor Loan by the Lenders has been made impracticable by the occurrence of an event which materially adversely affects the London interbank market generally; or
  • (c) the Agent is advised by Lenders holding 35% of the Commitments of all Lenders hereunder by written notice (each, a "LIBOR Suspension Notice"), such notice to be received by the Agent no later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the third Banking Day prior to the date of the requested Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion, as the case may be, that such Lenders have determined (acting reasonably) that the Libor Rate shall no longer represent the effective cost to such Lender of United States Dollar deposits in such market for the relevant Interest Period,

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower as soon as possible after such determination or receipt of such LIBOR Suspension Notice, as the case may be, and the Borrower shall, within one Banking Day after receipt of such notice and in replacement of the Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice, as the case may be, previously given by the Borrower, give the Agent a Drawdown Notice or a Conversion Notice, as the case may be, which specifies the Drawdown of any other Loan or the Conversion of the relevant Libor Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into any other Loan which would not be affected by the notice from the Agent pursuant to this Section 13.1. In the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a valid replacement Conversion Notice with respect to the maturing Libor Loans which were the subject of a Rollover Notice, such maturing Libor Loans shall be converted on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into U.S. Base Rate Loans as if a Conversion Notice had been given to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof. In the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a valid replacement Drawdown Notice with respect to a Drawdown originally requested by way of a Libor Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested

a Drawdown by way of a U.S. Base Rate Loan in the amount specified in the original Drawdown Notice and, on the originally requested Drawdown Date, the relevant Lenders (subject to the other provisions hereof) shall make available the requested amount by way of a U.S. Base Rate Loan.

(2) If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that:

  • (a) the circumstances described in Section 13.1(1) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, or that the circumstances described in Section 13.1(1) have not arisen, but either (i) the applicable supervisor or administrator of the Libor Rate, or (ii) a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Libor Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a "Libor Discontinuation Date"); or
  • (b) a rate other than the Libor Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans denominated in United States Dollars in the Canadian market,

then the Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to select a replacement index for the Libor Rate and make adjustments to the Applicable Pricing Rate and other related amendments to this Agreement such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate paid by the Borrower under this Agreement based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in interest rate applicable to Libor Loans made hereunder prior to the Libor Rate's replacement.

(3) Upon an agreement being reached between the Agent and the Borrower pursuant to clause (2) above, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement that gives effect to the replacement reference rate of interest, adjustments to the Applicable Pricing Rate and such other related amendments as may be appropriate in the discretion of the Agent for the implementation and administration of United States Dollar loans bearing interest calculated with reference to the replacement index. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 16.10) or any other Document, such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the fifth Banking Day after a copy of the amendment is provided to the Lenders and without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, unless the Agent receives, on or before such date and time, a written notice from the Majority of the Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.

(4) Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the Applicable Pricing Rate, and all other related amendments to this Agreement contemplated by this Section shall give due consideration to the prevailing market practice for: (a) determining a rate of interest applicable to newly originated United States Dollar loans made in Canada at such time, and (b) transitioning

existing loans from Libor Rate-based interest rates to loans bearing interest calculated with reference to the new reference rate.

(5) Until an amendment reflecting the transition to a new reference rate becomes effective as contemplated by this Section, each Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of a Libor Loan shall continue to bear interest calculated with reference to the Libor Rate; provided that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that a Libor Discontinuation Date has occurred, then following the Libor Discontinuation Date, until such time as an amending agreement adopting a new reference rate of interest becomes effective as contemplated by this Section:

  • (a) any requested Drawdown by way of, Conversion into, or Rollover of, Libor Loans under a Credit Facility shall be deemed to be a request for a U.S. Base Rate Loan in the same principal amount under the same Credit Facility; and
  • (b) in respect of a maturing Libor Loan under a Credit Facility, in the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a Conversion Notice with respect thereto specifying the Conversion of such Libor Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into a Loan other than a Libor Loan (and provided a valid Repayment Notice has not been delivered to the Agent in respect thereof), such maturing Libor Loan shall be converted on the last day of the applicable Interest Period into a U.S. Base Rate Loan under the same Credit Facility as if a valid Conversion Notice had been given to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof.

(6) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if at any time the alternate reference rate agreed upon to replace the Libor Rate shall be less than one (1%) percent, it shall be deemed to be one (1%) percent for the purposes of the Agreement.

(7) For certainty, upon the occurrence of a Libor Discontinuation Date, the U.S. Base Rate shall be determined without regard to subparagraph (c) of the definition thereof.

13.2 CDOR Rate Discontinuance

(1) If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that:

  • (a) an interest rate or discount rate is not ascertainable in the definition of "CDOR Rate" (for the purposes of this Section 13.2, "CDOR") and the inability to ascertain such rate is unlikely to be temporary;
  • (b) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of CDOR, the Bank of Canada, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator of CDOR, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator of CDOR, or a court or an entity

with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator of CDOR, has made a public statement, or published information, stating that the administrator of CDOR, has ceased or will cease to provide CDOR, permanently or indefinitely on a specific date; provided that, at that time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide CDOR; or

(c) the administrator of CDOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent or the administrator of CDOR has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans or the discount rates for bankers' acceptances; provided that, at that time, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide CDOR

(the date of determination or such specific date in the foregoing subparagraphs (a) through (c), the "CDOR Discontinuation Date"); or

(d) a rate other than CDOR has become a widely recognized benchmark rate to determine the discount rate for Bankers' Acceptances in the Canadian market,

then the Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to select a replacement index rate for CDOR and make such spread adjustments thereto and other related amendments to this Agreement that shall give due consideration to the prevailing market practice for: (x) determining a rate of interest applicable to newly originated Canadian Dollar loans made in Canada at such time and for determining the discount rate for Canadian Dollar bankers' acceptances issued and accepted in Canada at such time, and (y) transitioning existing loans and bankers' acceptances from CDOR-based rates to loans bearing interest and bankers' acceptances with discount rates calculated with reference to the new reference index rate; provided that, to the extent reasonably practicable, the all-in rate paid by the Borrower under this Agreement based on such replacement index rate will be substantially equivalent to the all-in rate applicable to Bankers' Acceptances and BA Equivalent Advances made hereunder prior to the replacement of CDOR (excluding, for certainty, any differences resulting from changes to the Applicable Pricing Rate as a result of the fluctuation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio).

(2) Upon an agreement being reached between the Agent and the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement that gives effect to the replacement index rate, adjustments to the Applicable Pricing Rate and such other related amendments as may be appropriate in the discretion of the Agent, acting reasonably, for the implementation and administration of Canadian Dollar loans bearing interest or bankers' acceptances with discount rates calculated with reference to the replacement index rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 16.10) or any other Document, such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the fifth Banking Day after a copy of the amendment is provided to the Lenders and without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, unless the Agent

receives, on or before such date and time, a written notice from a Lender stating that such Lender objects to such amendment; provided that, if such replacement index rate agreed upon to replace CDOR shall be less than one (1%) percent, it shall be deemed to be one (1%) percent for the purposes of this Agreement.

(3) Until an amendment reflecting the transition to a new reference index rate becomes effective as contemplated by this Section, the discount rate applicable to each Drawdown, Conversion or Rollover of a Bankers' Acceptance or a BA Equivalent Advance shall continue to be calculated with reference to CDOR; provided that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that a CDOR Discontinuation Date has occurred, then following the CDOR Discontinuation Date, until such time as an amending agreement adopting such a new reference index rate becomes effective as contemplated by this Section:

  • (a) any requested Drawdown by way of, Conversion into, or Rollover of, a Bankers' Acceptance or a BA Equivalent Advance under a Credit Facility shall be deemed to be a request for a Canadian Prime Rate Loan in the same principal amount under the same Credit Facility; and
  • (b) in respect of a maturing Bankers' Acceptance or a BA Equivalent Advance under a Credit Facility, in the event the Borrower fails to give, if applicable, a Conversion Notice with respect thereto specifying the Conversion of such Bankers' Acceptance or BA Equivalent Advance (on the maturity date thereof) into a Loan other than a Bankers' Acceptance or a BA Equivalent Advance (and provided a valid Repayment Notice has not been delivered to the Agent in respect thereof), such maturing Bankers' Acceptance or BA Equivalent Advance shall be converted on the maturity date thereof into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan under the same Credit Facility as if a valid Conversion Notice had been given to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof.

(4) For certainty, upon the occurrence of a CDOR Discontinuation Date, the Canadian Prime Rate shall be determined without regard to subparagraph (b) of the definition thereof.

13.3 Market Disruption Respecting Bankers' Acceptances

  • If:
  • (a) the Agent (acting reasonably) makes a determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, and notifies the Borrower, that there no longer exists an active market for bankers' acceptances accepted by the Lenders; or
  • (b) the Agent is advised by Lenders holding at least 35% of the Commitments by written notice (each, a "Lender BA Suspension Notice") that such Lenders have determined (in their sole discretion, acting in good faith) that the BA Discount Rate will not or does not accurately reflect the cost of funds of such Lenders or the

  • 163 -

discount rate which would be applicable to a sale of Bankers' Acceptances accepted by such Lenders in the market;

then:

  • (c) the right of the Borrower to request Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances from any Lender shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and so notifies the Borrower and the Lenders;
  • (d) any outstanding Drawdown Notice requesting a Loan by way of Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances shall be deemed to be a Drawdown Notice requesting a Loan by way of Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the amount specified in the original Drawdown Notice;
  • (e) any outstanding Conversion Notice requesting a Conversion of a Loan by way of Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances shall be deemed to be a Conversion Notice requesting a Conversion of such Loan into a Loan by way of Canadian Prime Rate Loans; and
  • (f) any outstanding Rollover Notice requesting a Rollover of a Loan by way of Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances, shall be deemed to be a Conversion Notice requesting a Conversion of such Loans into a Loan by way of Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any suspension of the Borrower's right to request the Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Advances and of any termination of any such suspension. A Lender BA Suspension Notice shall be effective upon receipt of the same by the Agent if received prior to noon (Toronto time) on a Banking Day and if not, then on the next following Banking Day, except in connection with a Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice previously received by the Agent, in which case the applicable Lender BA Suspension Notice shall only be effective with respect to such previously received Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice if received by the Agent prior to noon (Toronto time) two Banking Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date, Conversion Date or Rollover Date (as applicable) applicable to such previously received Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice, as applicable.

13.4 Change in Law

(1) If the adoption of any applicable law, regulation, treaty or official directive (whether or not having the force of law) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Governmental Authority or any other entity charged with the

interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by a Lender with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any such court, Governmental Authority or other entity in each case after the date hereof:

  • (a) subjects such Lender to, or causes the withdrawal or termination of a previously granted exemption with respect to, any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), or changes the basis of taxation of payments due to such Lender, or increases any existing Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) on payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement;
  • (b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, insurance charges, regulatory or similar requirement against assets or liabilities held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by such Lender, or any acquisition of funds for loans or commitments to fund loans or obligations in respect of undrawn, committed lines of credit or in respect of Bankers' Acceptances accepted by such Lender;
  • (c) imposes on such Lender or requires there to be maintained by such Lender any capital adequacy or liquidity or additional capital or liquidity requirements (including a requirement which affects such Lender's allocation of capital resources to its obligations) in respect of any Loan or obligation of such Lender hereunder, or any other condition with respect to this Agreement; or
  • (d) directly or indirectly affects the cost or imposes any expense to such Lender of making available, funding or maintaining any Loan or otherwise imposes on such Lender any other condition or requirement affecting this Agreement or any Loan or any obligation of such Lender hereunder,

and the result of (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, in the sole determination of such Lender acting in good faith, is:

  • (e) to increase the cost to such Lender of performing its obligations hereunder with respect to any Loan;
  • (f) to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder or its effective return hereunder or on its capital in respect of any Loan or any Credit Facility; or
  • (g) to cause such Lender to make any payment with respect to or to forego any return on or calculated by reference to, any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to any Loan or any Credit Facility,

such Lender shall determine that amount of money which shall compensate the Lender for such increase in cost, payments to be made or reduction in income or return or interest foregone (herein referred to as "Additional Compensation"). Upon a Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Agent. The relevant Lender shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with a photocopy of the relevant law, rule, guideline, regulation, treaty or official directive (or, if it is impracticable to provide a photocopy, a written summary of the same) and a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Lender setting forth the Additional Compensation and the basis of calculation therefor, which shall be conclusive evidence of such Additional Compensation in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to such Lender within 10 Banking Days of the giving of such notice such Lender's Additional Compensation. Each of the Lenders shall be entitled to be paid such Additional Compensation from time to time to the extent that the provisions of this Section are then applicable notwithstanding that any Lender has previously been paid any Additional Compensation.

(2) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all regulations, requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States, Canadian or other regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a "change in law" for the purposes of this Section 13.4, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(3) Each Lender agrees that it will not claim Additional Compensation from the Borrower under Section 13.4(1) if it is not generally claiming similar compensation from its other customers in similar circumstances or in respect of any period greater than 3 months prior to the delivery of notice in respect thereof by such Lender, unless, in the latter case, the adoption, change or other event or circumstance giving rise to the claim for Additional Compensation is retroactive or is retroactive in effect.

13.5 Prepayment of Portion

In addition to the other rights and options of the Borrower hereunder and notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof, if a Lender gives the notice provided for in Section 13.4 with respect to any Loan (an "Affected Loan"), the Borrower may, upon 2 Banking Days' notice to that effect given to such Lender and the Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), either effect a Conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof (if such Conversion would reduce the applicable Additional Compensation) or prepay in full without penalty such Lender's Rateable Portion of the Affected Loan outstanding together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid up to the date of such prepayment, such Additional Compensation as may be

applicable to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by such Lender by reason of the liquidation or re deployment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Affected Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, and upon such payment being made that Lender's obligations to make such Affected Loans to the Borrower under this Agreement shall terminate.

13.6 Illegality

If a Lender determines, in good faith, that the adoption of any applicable law, regulation, treaty or official directive (whether or not having the force of law) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Governmental Authority or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by a Lender with any request or direction (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority or entity, now or hereafter makes it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, fund or maintain a Loan under any Credit Facility or to give effect to its obligations in respect of such a Loan, such Lender may, by written notice thereof to the Borrower and to the Agent declare its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Loan to be terminated whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and the Borrower shall, within the time required by such law (or at the end of such longer period as such Lender at its discretion has agreed), either effect a Conversion of such Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof (if such Conversion would resolve the unlawfulness or impossibility) or prepay the principal of such Loan together with accrued interest, such Additional Compensation as may be applicable with respect to such Loan to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by the Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re deployment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. If any such change shall only affect a portion of such Lender's obligations under this Agreement which is, in the opinion of such Lender and the Agent, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the Agent, the other Lenders or the Borrower hereunder, such Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated.

13.7 Sanctions Laws Indemnity

In addition to any liability of the Borrower to any Lender or the Agent under any other provision hereof, the Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against all losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (including due to claims by a third party), incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of any breach by the Borrower of its covenants and representation and warranties contained herein with respect to Sanctions Laws. No action taken by an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto, including the establishment of the Credit Facilities, the advance of funds or the issuance of any financial instruments hereunder or the processing of any payments or transactions, nor any action taken by the Borrower in relation

thereto, shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights or any Indemnified Party under any provisions hereof related to Sanctions Laws nor shall they act to relieve the Borrower of its obligations or liabilities in relation thereto.

13.8 Effect of Benchmark Discontinuance Event

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Document, at or promptly after a Benchmark Transition Determination, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Libor Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (which may include Term SOFR, to the extent publicly available quotes of Term SOFR exist at the relevant time), including any Replacement Benchmark Spread, in each case giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and adjustments or any selection, endorsement or recommendation by the Relevant Governmental Body with respect to such facilities (any such proposed rate, together with the Replacement Benchmark Spread, a "Replacement Benchmark"), together with any proposed Replacement Benchmark Conforming Changes. Such Replacement Benchmark shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice or, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent; provided that in no event shall such Replacement Benchmark be less than one (1%) percent for purposes of this Agreement.

(2) Any such amendment with respect to an event under clause (a) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Determination" shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Banking Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority of the Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Majority of the Lenders do not accept such amendment. Any such amendment with respect to an event under clause (b) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Determination" shall become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Majority of the Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Majority of the Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the Libor Rate with a Replacement Benchmark pursuant to this Section 13.8 shall occur (i) prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date or (ii) prior to the effective date for such replacement, if any, specified in such amendment.

(3) The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender of the occurrence of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. The Borrower may revoke any request for a Libor Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Libor Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, if no such revocation is timely sent by the Borrower, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to U.S. Base Rate Loans (subject to the next sentence). During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Libor Rate shall not be used in any determination of the U.S. Base Rate.

ARTICLE 14 COSTS, EXPENSES AND INDEMNIFICATION

14.1 Costs and Expenses

The Borrower shall pay, within 30 days after notice from the Agent, all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Lenders and the Agent, including travel expenses of Bank of Montreal in connection with the Documents and the establishment and initial syndication of the Credit Facilities, including in connection with preparation, printing, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Documents whether or not any Drawdown has been made hereunder, and also including the reasonable fees and out of pocket costs and expenses of Lenders' Counsel (on a solicitor-client full indemnity basis) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent and the Lenders as to their rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Documents. Except for ordinary expenses of the Lenders and the Agent relating to the day to day administration of this Agreement, the Borrower further agrees to pay within 30 days of demand by the Agent all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation or review of waivers, consents and amendments pertaining to this Agreement, and in connection with the establishment of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement and the preservation or enforcement of rights of the Lenders and the Agent under this Agreement and other Documents, including all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses sustained by the Lenders and the Agent as a result of any failure by the Borrower to perform or observe any of its obligations hereunder or in connection with any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto (whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party or subject thereto), together with interest thereon from and after such 30th day if such payment is not made by such time.

14.2 General Indemnity

In addition to any liability of the Borrower to any Lender or the Agent under any other provision hereof, the Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (including any expense or cost incurred in the liquidation and re deployment of funds acquired to fund or maintain any portion of a Loan and reasonable out of pocket expenses and reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis) incurred by the same as a result of or in connection with the Credit Facilities or the Documents, including as a result of or in connection with:

(a) any cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re deployment in whole or in part of deposits or other funds required by any Lender to fund any Bankers' Acceptance or to fund or maintain any Loan as a result of the Borrower's failure to complete a Drawdown or to make any payment, repayment or prepayment on the date required hereunder or specified by it in any notice given hereunder;

  • (b) subject to permitted or deemed Rollovers and Conversions, the Borrower's failure to provide for the payment to the Agent for the account of the Lenders of the full principal amount of each Bankers' Acceptance on its maturity date;
  • (c) the Borrower's failure to pay any other amount, including any interest or fee, due hereunder on its due date after the expiration of any applicable grace or notice periods (subject, however, to the interest obligations of the Borrower hereunder for overdue amounts);
  • (d) the Borrower's repayment or prepayment of a Libor Loan otherwise than on the last day of its Interest Period;
  • (e) the prepayment of any outstanding Bankers' Acceptance before the maturity date of such Bankers' Acceptance;
  • (f) the Borrower's failure to give any notice required to be given by it to the Agent or the Lenders hereunder;
  • (g) the failure of the Borrower to make any other payment due hereunder;
  • (h) any inaccuracy or incompleteness of the Borrower's representations and warranties contained in Article 9;
  • (i) any failure of the Borrower to observe or fulfil its obligations under Article 10;
  • (j) any failure of the Borrower to observe or fulfil its obligations under Section 5.4(4) hereof;
  • (k) any failure of the Borrower to observe or fulfil any other Obligation not specifically referred to above; or
  • (l) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default in respect of the Borrower,

provided that this Section shall not apply to any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities that arise by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party claiming indemnity hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations.

14.3 Environmental Indemnity

The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties forthwith on demand by the Agent from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, debts, damages, costs, losses, liabilities, penalties, obligations, judgments, charges, expenses and disbursements (including all reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and his own client basis) of any nature whatsoever, suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of

them in connection with each Credit Facility, whether as beneficiaries under the Documents, as successors in interest of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or voluntary transfer in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise howsoever, with respect to any Environmental Claims relating to the property of the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising under any Environmental Laws as a result of the past, present or future operations of the Parent, the Borrower, Source US or any of their Subsidiaries (or any predecessor in interest to the Parent, the Borrower, Source US or any of their Subsidiaries) relating to the property of the Parent, the Borrower, Source US or any of their Subsidiaries, or the past, present or future condition of any part of the property of the Parent, the Borrower, Source US or any of their Subsidiaries owned, operated or leased by the Parent, the Borrower, Source US or any of their Subsidiaries (or any such predecessor in interest), including any liabilities arising as a result of any indemnity covering Environmental Claims given to any person by the Lenders or the Agent or a receiver, receiver manager or similar person appointed hereunder or under applicable law (collectively, the "Indemnified Third Party"); but excluding any Environmental Claims or liabilities relating thereto to the extent that such Environmental Claims or liabilities arise by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Third Party claiming indemnity hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall survive the repayment of the Obligations.

For the purposes of providing the benefit of the indemnities contained in Section 14.2 in favour of the Indemnified Parties and Indemnified Third Parties which are not a party hereto, the applicable Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, shall, in addition to contracting on its own behalf, be deemed to be contracting as agent and trustee for and on behalf of such persons.

14.4 Judgment Currency

(1) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in Canadian Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Banking Day immediately preceding:

  • (a) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or
  • (b) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section being hereinafter in this Section referred to as the "Judgment Conversion Date").

(2) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 14.4(1)(b), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment

Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower shall pay such additional amount (if any) 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 Canadian Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

(3) Any amount due from the Borrower under the provisions of Section 14.4(2) 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 this Agreement.

(4) The term "rate of exchange" in this Section 14.4 means the Exchange Rate.

14.5 Limits on Liability of Indemnified Parties

No Indemnified Party shall have any liability to the Parent, the Borrower, Source US or any of their Subsidiaries or any person asserting claims on behalf of, or in right of, the Parent, the Borrower, Source US or such Subsidiaries in connection with or as a result of the Credit Facilities, this Agreement or any other Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Parent, the Borrower, Source US, any of their Subsidiaries or other person are determined by a final non appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have (a) resulted solely by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (b) in respect only of a Lender, resulted from the intentional failure of such Lender to advance funds under its Commitment when all conditions precedent to a Drawdown have been satisfied. In any event, and notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof or of the other Documents to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of the Credit Facilities, this Agreement or any other Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.

ARTICLE 15 THE AGENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE CREDIT FACILITIES

15.1 Authorization and Action

(1) Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent (which term includes, for the purposes of this Article 15 the Agent in its capacity as Agent, and any other person designated by the Agent to hold all or part of the Security from time to time for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders, the Hedging Affiliates, and the Bank Product Providers) to exercise such powers, perform such duties, take such actions, make such decisions and determinations and give such consents under the Documents as are required to be exercised, performed, taken, made, given

or otherwise carried out by the Agent hereunder or under any other agreement between the Lenders (including, if applicable, Hedging Affiliates), together with all powers reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly required by this Agreement, the other Documents or by any other agreement between the Lenders (including, if applicable, Hedging Affiliates) to be carried out by the Agent, the Agent is not required to exercise any discretion or take or to refrain from taking any action except upon the written instructions of the Majority of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or to take or to refrain from taking any action in any manner which is contrary to the Documents, to any other agreement among the Lenders (including, if applicable, the Hedging Affiliates) or to Applicable Law. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the right of the Agent to nominate a US resident agent or trustee to hold and enforce the Documents), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

(2) The Lenders agree that all decisions as to actions to be or not to be taken, as to consents or waivers to be given or not to be given, as to determinations to be made and otherwise in connection with this Agreement and the Documents, shall be made upon the decision of the Majority of the Lenders except in respect of a decision or determination where it is specifically provided in this Agreement that "all of the Lenders", "all Lenders", "each of the Lenders" or "the Lenders" or words to similar effect, or the Agent alone, is to be responsible for same. Each of the Lenders shall be bound by and agrees to abide by and adopt all decisions made as aforesaid and covenants in all communications with the Borrower to act in concert and to join in the action, consent, waiver, determination or other matter decided as aforesaid.

(3) For certainty, the Agent is authorized to execute and deliver the Security and to perform its obligations under or in respect thereof.

15.2 Procedure for Making Loans

(1) The Agent shall make Loans available to the Borrower as required hereunder by debiting the account of the Agent to which the Lenders' Rateable Portions of such Loans have been credited in accordance with Section 2.12 (or causing such account to be debited) and, in the absence of other arrangements agreed to by the Agent and the Borrower in writing, by crediting the Borrower's Account or, at the expense of the Borrower, transferring (or causing to be transferred) like funds in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower as set forth in the Drawdown Notice, Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice, as the case may be, in respect of each Loan; provided that the obligation of the Agent hereunder to effect such a transfer shall be limited to taking such steps as are commercially reasonable to implement such instructions, which steps once taken shall constitute conclusive and binding evidence that such funds were advanced hereunder in accordance with the provisions relating thereto and the Agent shall not be liable for

any damages, claims or costs which may be suffered by the Borrower and occasioned by the failure of such Loan to reach the designated destination.

(2) Unless the Agent has been notified by a Lender at least one Banking Day prior to the Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, requested by the Borrower that such Lender will not make available to the Agent its Rateable Portion of such Loan, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion of the Loan available to the Agent on the Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Agent may, but shall be in no way obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Rateable Portion of a Loan available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such Lender's Rateable Portion of the Loan and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith together with interest thereon (at the rate payable hereunder by the Borrower in respect of such Loan or, in the case of funds made available in anticipation of a Lender remitting proceeds of a Bankers' Acceptance, at the rate of interest per annum applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding such obligation if such Lender fails to so pay, the Borrower covenants and agrees that, without prejudice to any rights the Borrower may have against such Lender, it shall repay such amount to the Agent forthwith after demand therefor by the Agent. The amount payable to the Agent pursuant hereto shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by the Agent to such Lender and the Borrower (which certificate shall contain reasonable details of how the amount payable is calculated) and shall be prima facie evidence thereof, in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender makes the payment to the Agent required herein, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Rateable Portion of the Loan for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make its Rateable Portion of any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Rateable Portion of such Loan on the Drawdown Date, Rollover Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Rateable Portion of any Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Drawdown, Rollover or Conversion, as the case may be.

(3) Unless the Agent has been notified in writing by the Borrower at least one Banking Day prior to the date on which any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is due that the Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in its discretion, assume that the Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and the Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to the amount of such payment which is due to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement. If the Borrower does not in fact remit such payment to the Agent, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and each such Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent its Rateable Portion of the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender,

together with interest thereon until the date of repayment thereof at a rate determined by the Agent (such rate to be conclusive and binding on such Lender) in accordance with the Agent's usual banking practice for similar advances to financial institutions of like standing to such Lender.

15.3 Remittance of Payments

Except for amounts payable to the Agent for its own account, forthwith after receipt of any repayment pursuant hereto or payment of interest or fees pursuant to Article 5 or payment pursuant to Article 8, the Agent shall remit to each Lender its Rateable Portion of such payment; provided that, if the Agent, on the assumption that it will receive on any particular date a payment of principal, interest or fees hereunder, remits to a Lender its Rateable Portion of such payment and the Borrower fails to make such payment, each of the Lenders on receipt of such remittance from the Agent agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand an amount equal to the remittance together with all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith and interest thereon at the rate and calculated in the manner applicable to the Loan in respect of which such payment is made, or, in the case of a remittance in respect of Bankers' Acceptances, at the rate of interest applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans for each day from the date such amount is remitted to the Lenders without prejudice to any right such Lender may have against the Borrower. The exact amount of the repayment required to be made by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be as set forth in a certificate delivered by the Agent to each Lender, which certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

15.4 Redistribution of Payment

Each Lender agrees that:

  • (a) if the Lender exercises any security against or right of counter claim, set off or banker's lien or similar right with respect to the property of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or if under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law it receives a secured claim and collateral for which it is, or is entitled to exercise any set off against, a debt owed by it to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, the Lender shall apportion the amount thereof proportionately between:
  • (i) such Lender's Rateable Portion of all outstanding Obligations owing by the Borrower (including the face amounts at maturity of Bankers' Acceptances accepted by the Lenders), which amounts shall be applied in accordance with Section 15.4(b); and
  • (ii) amounts otherwise owed to such Lender by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties,

provided that (i) any cash collateral account held by such Lender as collateral for a letter of credit or bankers' acceptance (other than a Bankers' Acceptance) issued or accepted by such Lender on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party which is Permitted Debt may be applied by such Lender to such amounts owed by the Borrower or other Loan Party, as the case may be, to such Lender pursuant to such letter of credit or in respect of any such bankers' acceptance without apportionment and (ii) these provisions do not apply to:

  • (A) a right or claim which arises or exists in respect of a loan or other debt in respect of which the relevant Lender holds a Security Interest which is a Permitted Encumbrance;
  • (B) cash collateral provided, or the exercise of rights of counterclaim, set off or banker's lien or similar rights, in respect of account positioning arrangements for the Borrower and the any other Loan Parties provided by a Lender in the ordinary course of business or in respect of other cash management services provided by a Lender in the ordinary course of business;
  • (C) any reduction in amounts owing by a Lender (or its Hedging Affiliates) to the Borrower or any other Loan Party upon the termination of Lender Financial Instruments entered into with the relevant Lender (or its Hedging Affiliates); or
  • (D) any payment to which a Lender is entitled as a result of any credit derivative or other form of credit protection obtained by such Lender;
  • (b) if, in the aforementioned circumstances, a Lender, through the exercise of a right, or the receipt of a secured claim described in Section 15.4(a) above or otherwise, receives payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of Obligations due to it hereunder which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate Obligations due to the Lenders (having regard to the respective Rateable Portions of the Lenders), such Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase, on a non recourse basis at par, and make payment for a participation (which shall be deemed to have been done simultaneously with receipt of such payment) in the outstanding Loans of the other Lender or Lenders so that their respective receipts shall be pro rata to their respective Rateable Portions; provided, however, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower or any trustee, liquidator, receiver or receiver manager or person with analogous powers from the purchasing Lender,

such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price paid for such participation shall be returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the purchasing Lender is required to pay interest on such amount, in which case each selling Lender shall reimburse the purchasing Lender pro rata in relation to the amounts received by it. Such Lender shall exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claims; and

(c) if a Lender does, or is required to do, any act or thing permitted by Section 15.4(a) or (b) above, it shall promptly provide full particulars thereof to the Agent.

15.5 Duties and Obligations

Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees (and, for purposes hereof, the Agent shall be deemed to be contracting as agent and trustee for and on behalf of such persons) shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement except for its or their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

  • (a) may assume that there has been no assignment or transfer by any means by the Lenders of their rights hereunder, unless and until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment thereof from such Lender and the Agent receives from the assignee an executed Assignment Agreement providing, inter alia, that such assignee is bound hereby as it would have been if it had been an original Lender party hereto;
  • (b) may consult with legal counsel (including receiving the opinions of Borrower's Counsel and Lenders' Counsel as required hereunder), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts;
  • (c) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, cable, telecopier, telex, electronic mail or other electronic means of communication which may generate a written record thereof) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties or by acting upon any representation or warranty of the Borrower made or deemed to be made hereunder;
  • (d) may assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary;

  • (e) may rely as to any matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of any person upon a certificate signed by or on behalf of such person;

  • (f) shall not be bound to disclose to any other person any information relating to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other person if such disclosure would or might in its opinion constitute a breach of any applicable law, be in default of the provisions hereof or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any other person; and
  • (g) may refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion vested in it which would or might in its reasonable opinion be contrary to any applicable law or any directive or otherwise render it liable to any person, and may do anything which is in its reasonable opinion necessary to comply with such applicable law.

Further, the Agent (i) does not make any warranty or representation to any Lender nor shall it be responsible to any Lender for the accuracy or completeness of the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein or the data made available to any of the Lenders in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, or for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (ii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to enquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; and (iii) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto.

15.6 Prompt Notice to the Lenders

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Agent agrees to provide to the Lenders, with copies where appropriate, all information, notices and reports required to be given to the Agent by the Borrower, promptly upon receipt of same, excepting therefrom information and notices relating solely to the role of Agent hereunder.

15.7 Agent's and Lenders' Authorities

With respect to its Commitments and the Drawdowns, Rollovers, Conversions and Loans made by it as a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent. Subject to the express provisions hereof relating to the rights and obligations of the Agent and the Lenders in such capacities, the Agent and each Lender may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other Loan Party or any corporation or other entity owned or controlled by any of them and any person which may do business with any

of them without any duties to account therefor to the Agent or the other Lenders and, in the case of the Agent, all as if it was not the Agent hereunder.

15.8 Lender Credit Decision

It is understood and agreed by each Lender that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Parent, the Borrower, Source US and each of their Subsidiaries. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it is engaged in the business of making and evaluating the risks associated with commercial revolving loans or term loans, or both, to corporations similar to the Borrower, that it can bear the economic risks related to the transaction contemplated hereby, that it has had access to all information deemed necessary by it in making such decision (provided that this representation shall not impair its rights against the Borrower) and that it is entering into this Agreement in the ordinary course of its commercial lending business. Accordingly, each Lender confirms with the Agent that it has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Agent (i) to check or enquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Borrower or any other person under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein contemplated (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Lender by the Agent), or (ii) to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of the Borrower, Source US or any of their Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that a copy of this Agreement has been made available to it for review and each Lender acknowledges that it is satisfied with the form and substance of this Agreement. Each Lender hereby covenants and agrees that, subject to Section 15.4, it will not make any arrangements with the Borrower for the satisfaction of any Loans or other Obligations without the consent of all the other Lenders.

15.9 Indemnification of Agent

The Lenders hereby agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments as a proportion of the aggregate of all outstanding Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in respect of this Agreement in its capacity as Agent; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If the Borrower subsequently repays all or a portion of such amounts to the Agent, then the Agent shall reimburse the Lenders their pro rata shares (according to the amounts paid by them in respect thereof) of the amounts received from the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the

foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its portion (determined as above) of any out of pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preservation of any rights of the Agent or the Lenders under, or the enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

15.10 Successor Agent

The Agent may, as hereinafter provided, resign at any time by giving 45 days' prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Lenders shall, after soliciting the views of the Borrower, have the right to appoint another Lender as a successor agent (the "Successor Agent") who shall be acceptable to the Borrower, acting reasonably. If no Successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a Successor Agent who shall be a Lender acceptable to the Borrower, acting reasonably. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a Successor Agent, such Successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall continue to enure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it as Agent or in its capacity as Agent while it was Agent hereunder.

15.11 Taking and Enforcement of Remedies

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the remedies provided hereunder to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder are to be exercised not severally, but collectively by the Agent upon the decision of the Majority of the Lenders regardless of whether acceleration was made pursuant to Section 12.2. Notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to individually take any action with respect to any Credit Facility, including any acceleration under Section 12.2, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement or instructions of the Majority of the Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Agent, having been adequately indemnified against costs and expenses of so doing by the Lenders, shall fail to carry out any such instructions of a Majority of the Lenders, any Lender may do so on behalf of all Lenders and shall, in so doing, be entitled to the benefit of all protections given the Agent hereunder or elsewhere, and (ii) in the absence of instructions from the Majority of the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Agent the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders or any of them take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or

desirable in the interests of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written consent being given by the Majority of the Lenders, or upon a Lender or the Agent taking action as aforesaid, it shall cooperate fully with the Lender or the Agent to the extent requested by the Lender or the Agent in the collective realization including and, if applicable, the appointment of a receiver, or receiver and manager to act for their collective benefit. Each Lender covenants and agrees to do all acts and things and to make, execute and deliver all agreements and other instruments, including any instruments necessary to effect any registrations, so as to fully carry out the intent and purpose of this Section; and each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that, subject to Section 5.7, Section 6.3, Section 15.4, Section 10.2(b) and Section 15.14, it has not heretofore and shall not seek, take, accept or receive any security for any of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower hereunder or under any other document, instrument, writing or agreement ancillary hereto and shall not enter into any agreement with any of the parties hereto or thereto relating in any manner whatsoever to the Credit Facilities, unless all of the Lenders shall at the same time obtain the benefit of any such security or agreement.

With respect to any enforcement, realization or the taking of any rights or remedies to enforce the rights of the Lenders hereunder, the Agent shall be a trustee for each Lender, and all monies received from time to time by the Agent in respect of the foregoing shall be held in trust and shall be trust assets within the meaning of applicable bankruptcy or insolvency legislation and shall be considered for the purposes of such legislation to be held separate and apart from the other assets of the Agent, and each Lender shall be entitled to their Rateable Portion of such monies. In its capacity as trustee, the Agent shall be obliged to exercise only the degree of care it would exercise in the conduct and management of its own business and in accordance with its usual practice concurrently employed or hereafter instituted for other substantial commercial loans.

15.12 Reliance Upon Agent

The Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document or other advice, statement or instruction provided to it by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, and the Borrower shall generally be entitled to deal with the Agent with respect to matters under this Agreement which the Agent is authorized to deal with without any obligation whatsoever to satisfy itself as to the authority of the Agent to act on behalf of the Lenders and without any liability whatsoever to the Lenders for relying upon any certificate, notice or other document or other advice, statement or instruction provided to it by the Agent, notwithstanding any lack of authority of the Agent to provide the same.

15.13 No Liability of Agent

The Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder (unless such failure was caused, in whole or in part, by the Agent's failure to observe or perform its obligations hereunder), or to any Lender on account of the failure of the Borrower or any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder.

15.14 The Agent and Defaulting Lenders

(1) Each Defaulting Lender shall be required to provide to the Agent cash in an amount, as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent in its discretion, equal to all obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Agent that are owing or may become owing or, in the case of contingent obligations under any outstanding Fronted LCs (after giving effect to the reallocation provisions in Section 16.2), may become owing to the Agent or the Fronting Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, including such Defaulting Lender's obligation to pay its Rateable Portion of any indemnification, reimbursement or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by the Borrower. Such cash shall be held by the Agent in one or more cash collateral accounts, which accounts shall be in the name of the Agent and shall not be required to be interest bearing. The Agent shall be entitled to apply the foregoing cash in accordance with Section 15.14(3).

(2) In addition to the indemnity and reimbursement obligations noted in Section 15.9, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder) rateably according to their respective Rateable Portions (and in calculating the Rateable Portion of a Lender, ignoring the Commitments of Defaulting Lenders) any amount that a Defaulting Lender fails to pay the Agent and which is due and owing to the Agent pursuant to Section 15.9. Each Defaulting Lender agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts paid by such Lender and which would otherwise be payable by the Defaulting Lender.

(3) The Agent shall be entitled to set off and/or withhold any Defaulting Lender's Rateable Portion of all payments received from the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender's obligations to make payments and fund Loans required to be made by it and to purchase participations required to be purchased by it in each case under this Agreement and the other Documents (provided that, notwithstanding the exercise of such set-off or withholding, the Borrower shall have been deemed to have made such payment to such Defaulting Lender for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Documents). To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Agent shall be entitled to withhold and deposit in one or more non-interest bearing cash collateral accounts in the name of the Agent all amounts (whether principal, interest, fees or otherwise) received by the Agent and due to a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement, which amounts shall be used by the Agent:

  • (a) first, to reimburse the Agent for any amounts owing to it by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to any Document;
  • (b) second, to repay on a pro rata basis any (i) Loans made by a Lender pursuant to Article 16 in order to fund a shortfall created by a Defaulting Lender and, upon receipt of such repayment, each such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Defaulting Lender such incremental portion of such Loans;

  • (c) third, to cash collateralize all other contingent obligations of such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, in its capacity as Agent or the Fronting Lender owing pursuant to this Agreement in such amount as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent in its discretion, including such Defaulting Lender's obligation to pay its Rateable Portion of any indemnification or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by the Borrower; and

  • (d) fourth, to fund from time to time the Defaulting Lender's Rateable Portion of Loans.

(4) For greater certainty and in addition to the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender (including a Defaulting Lender) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with amounts payable by the Borrower to a Defaulting Lender and received and deposited by the Agent in a cash collateral account and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, save and except for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

  • (h) the Agent and each of the Lenders may disclose all or any part of the Information so as to enable the Agent and the Lenders to initiate any lawsuit against the Borrower or to defend any lawsuit commenced by the Borrower the issues of which touch on the Information, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary to the initiation or defense of such lawsuit.

For certainty, the Agent, Lenders and Senior Secured Noteholders may freely discuss with each other, and freely disclose to each other, any information pertaining to the business and affairs of the Loan Parties, the Documents or the Senior Secured Documents.

16.2 Nature of Obligation under this Agreement; Defaulting Lenders

(1) The obligations of each Lender and of the Agent under this Agreement are several. The failure of any Lender to carry out its obligations hereunder shall not relieve the other Lenders, the Agent or the Borrower of any of their respective obligations hereunder.

(2) Subject to and without derogating from the operation of Section 15.14 and this Section 16.2, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender hereunder.

(3) 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) the standby fees payable pursuant to Section 5.6 shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

  • (b) a Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether, and the Commitment and the Rateable Portion of the Outstanding Principal of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority of the Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 16.10), provided that any waiver or amendment requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that (i) materially and adversely affects such Defaulting Lender in a manner that differs in any material respect from its application to other affected Lenders, (ii) increases the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, (iii) extends the Maturity Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender, (iv) decreases the Applicable Pricing Rate applicable to such Defaulting Lender or (v) postpones, reduces or waives any principal payment due to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall in each case require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and
  • (c) for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall retain and reserve its other rights and remedies respecting each Defaulting Lender.

(4) If the Agent has actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time that the Agent receives (a) a Drawdown Notice, (b) a Rollover Notice that relates to a Fronted LC, or (c) a Conversion Notice that will result in a currency conversion, then each other Lender under the applicable Credit Facility (each a "Non-Defaulting Lender") shall fund its Rateable Portion of such affected Loan (and, in calculating such Rateable Portion, the Agent shall ignore the Commitment of each such Defaulting Lender); provided that, for certainty, no Lender shall be obligated by this Section to make or provide Loans in excess of its Commitment under such Credit Facility. If the Agent acquires actual knowledge that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender at any time after the Agent receives (a) a Drawdown Notice, (b) a Rollover Notice that relates to a Fronted LC, or (c) a Conversion Notice that will result in a currency conversion, then the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such disclosure). Each Defaulting Lender agrees to indemnify each other Lender for any amounts paid by such Lender under this Section 16.2(4) and which would otherwise have been paid by the Defaulting Lender if its Commitment under the applicable Credit Facility had been included in determining the Rateable Portions of such affected Loans.

(5) If any Fronted LC is outstanding at the time that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(a) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender's Rateable Portion of such Fronted LC shall be re-allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Rateable Portions; provided that such re-allocation may only be effected if and to the extent that (i) such re-allocation would not cause any Non-Defaulting

Lender's Rateable Portion of all Loans to exceed its applicable Commitment and (ii) the conditions precedent in Section 3.2 are satisfied at such time;

  • (b) if the re-allocation described in clause (a) above cannot be effected, or can only partially be effected, then such Defaulting Lender shall, within one Banking Day following notice by the Agent, provide cash collateral for such Defaulting Lender's Rateable Portion of such Letter of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 15.14 for so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding; and
  • (c) if the Rateable Portions of the Non-Defaulting Lenders are re-allocated pursuant to this Section 16.2(5), then the issuance fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.8 shall be adjusted to give effect to such re-allocations in accordance with each such Non-Defaulting Lender's Rateable Portions.

(6) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Fronting Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Fronted LC unless the Fronting Lender is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or is 100% cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.17(2) 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 16.2(4) or Section 16.2(5)(a) as applicable (and the Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(7) If any Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, then, upon becoming aware of the same, the Agent shall notify the Non-Defaulting Lenders and (in accordance with the written direction of the Agent) such Lender (which has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender) shall purchase, and the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall on a rateable basis sell and assign to such Lender, portions of such Loans equal in total to such Lender's Rateable Portion thereof without regard to Section 16.2(4).

(8) Each Defaulting Lender hereby indemnifies the Borrower for any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities (including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis) incurred by the Borrower as a result of such Defaulting Lender failing to comply with the terms of this Agreement including any failure to fund its portion of any Loans required to be made by it hereunder.

(9) The Borrower shall have the right, at its option, to (i) replace Defaulting Lenders under the Credit Facilities (by causing them to assign their rights and interests under the Credit Facilities to additional financial institutions which have agreed to become Lenders or by increasing the Commitments of existing Lenders under the Credit Facilities with, in the latter case, the consent of such increasing Lenders, or any combination thereof), (ii) repay the Obligations outstanding to Defaulting Lenders under the Credit Facilities and cancelling their Commitments (without

corresponding repayment to other Lenders), or (iii) any combination of the foregoing; provided that increases in the Commitments of existing Lenders and the addition of new financial institutions as Lenders shall require the consent of the Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(10) In order to give effect to the provisions of Section 16.2(9) (but subject to such provisions), the Borrower may, from time to time:

  • (a) require any Defaulting Lender to assign all of its rights, benefits and interests under the Documents, its Commitments and its Rateable Portion of all Loans and other Obligations (collectively, the "Defaulting Lender's Assigned Interests") to (i) any other Lenders which have agreed to increase their Commitments and purchase the Defaulting Lender's Assigned Interests, and (ii) to third party financial institutions selected by the Borrower. The Borrower shall provide the Agent with 10 Banking Days' prior written notice of its desire to proceed under this Section. The assignment of the Defaulting Lender's Assigned Interests shall be effective upon: (w) execution and delivery of assignment documentation satisfactory to the relevant Defaulting Lender the assignee, the Borrower and the Agent (each acting reasonably); (x) upon payment to the relevant Defaulting Lender, by the relevant assignee of an amount equal to such Lender's Rateable Portion of all Loans being assigned and all accrued but unpaid interest and fees hereunder in respect of those portions of the Loans and Commitments being assigned; (y) upon payment by the relevant assignee to the applicable Agent (for the applicable Agent's own account) of the transfer fee contemplated in Section 16.6; and (z) upon provision satisfactory to the Defaulting Lender (acting reasonably) being made for payment at maturity of outstanding Bankers' Acceptances accepted by it. Upon such assignment and transfer, the assigning Defaulting Lender shall have no further right, interest, benefit or obligation in respect of the Defaulting Lender's Assigned Interests (except as provided in Section 7.8(3)) and the assignee thereof shall succeed to the position of such Lender as if the same was an original party hereto in the place and stead of such Defaulting Lender; for such purpose, the assignee shall execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement and such other documentation as may be reasonably required by the Agent and the Borrower to confirm its agreement to be bound by the provisions hereof as a Lender and to give effect to the foregoing; and
  • (b) to the extent that the Borrower has not caused any Defaulting Lender to assign its rights, benefits and interests to another Lender or other financial institution as provided in paragraph (a) above, repay to such Defaulting Lender at any time while such Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender, all such Lender's Rateable Portion of all Loans outstanding under the Credit Facilities, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon and with respect to its Commitments, without

making corresponding repayment to the other Lenders and, upon such repayment and provision satisfactory to the relevant Defaulting Lender, (acting reasonably) being made for payment at maturity of all outstanding Bankers' Acceptances accepted by such Lender and the Borrower may cancel such Lender's Commitments. Upon completion of the foregoing, such Defaulting Lender shall have no further right, interest, benefit or obligation in respect of the Credit Facilities (except as provided in Section 7.8(3)) and each Credit Facility shall be reduced by the amount of such Lender's cancelled Commitment thereunder.

16.5 Benefit of the Agreement

This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

16.6 Assignment

The Borrower shall not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior consent of all of the Lenders. A Lender may, at such Lender's sole cost and expense, with the prior consent of the Agent and the Fronting Lender, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, sell, assign or otherwise transfer in whole or in part, or grant a participation in (without the consent of the Borrower), its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Documents to a Canadian financial institution where any such assignment is for a minimum Commitment of Cdn.\$5,000,000 under each Credit Facility and the Lender retains a Commitment of at least Cdn.\$5,000,000 under each Credit Facility where the assignment is for less than its entire Commitment under such Credit Facility. Upon any assignment by a Lender to an assignee in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 16.6 (a "Permitted Assignee"), the Permitted Assignee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, have the same rights and benefits hereunder and under the other Documents and the same continuing obligations as it would have if it were such Lender hereunder; provided, however that the Agent and the Borrower shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assignor Lender in connection with the interests so assigned unless and until such assignee becomes a Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement executed by such assignee, the relevant assignor Lender and the Agent.

hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent shall be required. Such Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such assignee Lender as a Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising from the purchase by such assignee Lender of all or a portion of the Loans, the face amount of Bankers' Acceptances and commitment of such assignor Lender.

16.7 Participations

Nothing in Section 16.6 shall restrict a Lender from the sale of participations in all or any part of the Commitments and such Lender's Rateable Portion of Loans made or to be made by it; provided that any increased costs to the Borrower (including as a result of requiring the Borrower to may any payments of withholding taxes) as a result of any such participation shall be for the sole account of such Lender and that the selling Lender shall continue to be obligated as a Lender hereunder in all respects notwithstanding any such participation. The selling Lender shall act on behalf of all of its participants in all dealings with the Borrower in respect of the Credit Facilities and no person who acquires a participation shall have any voting or consent rights with respect to any matter requiring the Lender's consent hereunder. A person who acquires a participation in Loans hereunder shall have no standing as a Lender under the Documents and shall not acquire as a result thereof any rights or benefits under any of the Documents in relation to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties.

The foregoing provisions apply and the foregoing waivers, to the extent permitted under applicable law, shall be effective even if the effect of any action or failure to take action by the Beneficiaries is to destroy or diminish the Guarantors' subrogation rights, the Guarantors' right to proceed against the Loan Parties for reimbursement, the Guarantors' right to recover contribution from any other guarantor or any other right or remedy of any of the Guarantors.

2.5 Waiver

In addition to the waivers contained in Section 0 hereof, each Guarantor waives, and agrees that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by the Beneficiaries of, this Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment and demand (whether for non-payment or protest or of acceptance, maturity, extension of time, change in nature or form of the Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security, composition or agreement arrived

H-1 - 12

at as to the amount of, or the terms of, the Obligations, notice of adverse change in the Loan Parties' financial condition or any other fact which might increase the risk to such Guarantor) with respect to any of the Obligations or all other demands whatsoever, except the demand contemplated in Section 0, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, waives the benefit of all provisions of Applicable Law which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guarantee.

2.6 Election of Remedies

If the Agent may, under Applicable Law, proceed to realize benefits under any of the Documents giving the Beneficiaries a Security Interest upon any assets or collateral owned by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other guarantor of the Obligations, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, the Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of such remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of such rights and remedies under this Guarantee. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, the Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other guarantor of the Obligations, whether because of Applicable Law pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, each Guarantor hereby consents to such action by the Agent and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation which such Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such action by the Agent. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Agent to seek a deficiency judgment against the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other guarantor of the Obligations shall not impair such Guarantor's obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event the Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by Applicable Law or the Documents, the Agent may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Agent but shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Guarantee.

2.7 Limitation of Guarantee Amount

Without limiting any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Guarantor's liability hereunder shall be limited to an amount not to exceed an amount which could be claimed by the Beneficiaries from each such Guarantor under this Guarantee without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101 et seq.) or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or

H-1 - 13

common law after taking into account, among other things, such Guarantor's right of contribution and indemnification from any other guarantor of the Obligations.

ARTICLE 3 DEALINGS WITH THE BORROWER AND OTHERS

3.1 No Release

The Beneficiaries, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the Guarantors' liability and obligations hereunder, may:

  • (s) grant time, renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases and discharges to any Loan Party or any other guarantor or endorser;

3.2 No Exhaustion of Remedies

The Beneficiaries shall not be bound or obligated to exhaust their recourse against the Loan Parties or other persons or any securities or collateral it may hold or take any other action before the Beneficiaries shall be entitled to demand, enforce and collect payment from the Guarantors hereunder.

3.3 Evidence of Obligations

Any account settled or stated in writing by or between a Beneficiary or the Beneficiaries, as the case may be, and the Loan Parties shall be prima facie evidence that the balance or amount thereof appearing due to the same is so due.

3.4 No Set off

In any claim by the Beneficiaries against the Guarantors hereunder, no Guarantor shall claim or assert any set off, counterclaim, claim or other right that any such Guarantor may have against one or more of the Beneficiaries, the Borrower or the other Loan Parties.

ARTICLE 4 CONTINUING GUARANTEE

4.1 Continuing Guarantee

Subject to Section 11.7 of the Credit Agreement, this Guarantee shall be a continuing guarantee and shall continue to be effective even if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rendered unenforceable or is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Beneficiary for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Loan Parties), all as though such payment had not been made. Each Guarantor expressly waives any rights that such Guarantor might otherwise have to renounce any continuing guarantee other than as set out in the Credit Agreement or by Applicable Law.

4.2 Revival of Indebtedness

If at any time, all or any part of any payment previously received by a Beneficiary and applied to any Obligation must be rescinded or returned by the Beneficiary for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Loan Parties), such Obligation shall, for the purpose of this Guarantee, to the extent that such payment must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Beneficiary, and this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligation as though such application by the Beneficiary had not been made. For certainty, this Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, should the Borrower or any other Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Borrower's or any other Loan Party's assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Beneficiary, whether as a "voidable preference", "fraudulent conveyance", or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

5.2 Stay of Acceleration

If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Loan Party in respect of its Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement or reorganization of such Loan Party or any moratorium affecting the payment of the Obligations, all such amounts that would otherwise be subject to acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Beneficiaries.

The obligations of a Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Guarantee pursuant to Section 11.7 of the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE 8 POSTPONEMENT

8.1 Postponement

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all debts, liabilities and obligations, present and future of the Loan Parties to or in favour of any Guarantor shall be and are hereby postponed and subordinated to the prior payment and performance in full of the Obligations. All money received by such Guarantor in respect of such debts, liabilities and obligations during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and upon demand hereunder shall be forthwith paid over to the Beneficiaries, the whole without in any way lessening or limiting the liability and obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and this postponement is independent of the Guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect until payment and performance in full of the Obligations and all obligations of the Guarantors under this Guarantee.

9.1 Waiver of Notices

The Guarantors hereby waive promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to this Guarantee and the obligations guaranteed hereunder, except for the demand pursuant to Section 0.

This Guarantee shall enure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Beneficiaries and be binding upon the successors of the Guarantors.

9.3 Foreign Currency Obligations

The Guarantors shall make payment relative to each Obligation in the currency (the "original currency") in which the Loan Parties are required to pay such Obligation. If the Guarantors make payment relative to any Obligation to the Beneficiaries in a currency (the "other currency") other than the original currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or judgment of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), such payment shall constitute a discharge of the liability of the Guarantors hereunder in respect of such Obligation only to the extent of the amount of the original currency which the Beneficiaries are able to purchase with the amount of other currency they receive on the date of receipt in accordance with normal practice. If the amount of the original currency which the Beneficiaries are able to purchase is less than the amount of such currency originally due in respect of the relevant Obligation, the Guarantors shall indemnify and save the Beneficiaries harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Guarantee, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Beneficiaries and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order. A certificate of a Beneficiary as to any such loss or damage shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof, in the absence of manifest error.

9.4 Taxes and Set off by Guarantors

All payments by the Guarantors under this Guarantee, whether in respect of principal, interest, interest on overdue and unpaid interest, fees or any other Obligations, shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding (whether in respect of set off, counterclaim, duties, Taxes, charges or otherwise whatsoever) unless the Guarantors are prohibited by applicable laws from doing so, in which event the Guarantors shall:

  • (a) ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required;
  • (b) forthwith pay to the Beneficiaries such additional amount so that the net amount received by the Beneficiaries will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been made, provided that no

additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any Excluded Taxes (as defined in the Credit Agreement);

  • (c) pay to the relevant taxation or other authorities, within the period for payment required by applicable laws, the full amount of the deduction or withholding (including the full amount of any deduction or withholding from any additional amount paid pursuant to this Section); and

As general and continuing security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party a security interest in all personal and after-acquired personal property and all other present and future undertaking, assets and property, both real and personal, of the Debtor (collectively, the "Collateral"), and as further general and continuing security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, the Debtor hereby assigns the Collateral to the Secured Party and mortgages and charges the Collateral to the Secured Party (with respect to real property, as and by way of a floating charge). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral shall include all right, title and interest that the Debtor now has, may

be possessed of, entitled to, or acquire, by way of amalgamation or otherwise, now or hereafter or may hereafter have in all property of the following kinds:

  • (a) Accounts Receivable: all debts, accounts, accounts receivables, claims and choses in action which are now or which may hereafter become due, owing or accruing due to the Debtor (collectively, the "Receivables");
  • (b) Inventory: all inventory of whatever kind and wherever situated including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all goods held for sale or lease, or furnished or to be furnished under contracts for service, or that are work in progress, or that are raw materials used or consumed in the business of the Debtor (collectively, the "Inventory");
  • (c) Equipment: all goods, machinery, equipment, fixtures, furniture, plant, vehicles and other tangible personal property which are not Inventory, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the tangible personal property described in any schedule hereto executed by both the Debtor and the Secured Party;
  • (d) Chattel Paper: all chattel paper;

  • (h) Money: all coins or bills or other medium of exchange adopted for use as part of the currency of Canada or of any foreign government;

  • (j) Substitutions, Etc.: all replacements of, substitutions for and increases, additions and accessions to any of the property described in Sections 2.1(a) to (i) inclusive; and

The Debtor agrees that it shall, upon the request of the Secured Party, acting reasonably, use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent required to permit any Contractual Rights to be subjected to the Charge herein. The Charge with respect to the patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property constitutes a security interest in, and a charge, hypothecation, and pledge of, such Collateral in favour of the Secured Party, but does not constitute an assignment or mortgage of such Collateral to the Secured Party or any Lenders. Until the Charge comes enforceable, the grant of the Charge in the patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property will not affect in any way the Debtor's rights to commercially exploit it or defend or enforce the Debtor's rights in it or with respect to it.

2.2 Attachment of Security Interest

Each Debtor acknowledges (i) that value has been given, (ii) that the security interest granted hereby shall attach when the Debtor signs this Agreement and the Debtor has any rights in the Collateral, (iii) it has not agreed to postpone the time of attachment of the security interest and (iv) it has received a copy of this Agreement.

  • (p) Monies, personal property, and interests in personal property of such Debtor of any kind or description now held by any Secured Creditor or at any time hereafter transferred or delivered to, or coming into the possession, custody or control of, any Secured Creditor, or any agent or affiliate of any Secured Creditor, whether expressly as collateral security or for any other purpose (whether for safekeeping, custody, collection or otherwise), and all dividends and distributions on or other rights in connection with any such property;

  • (q) Supporting evidence and documents relating to any of the above described property, including, without limitation, computer programs, disks, tapes and related electronic data processing media, and all rights of such Debtor to retrieve the same from third parties, written applications, credit information, account cards, payment records, correspondence, delivery and installation certificates, invoice copies, delivery receipts, notes and other evidences of indebtedness, insurance certificates and the like, together with all books of account, ledgers, and cabinets in which the same are reflected or maintained;

  • (r) Accessions and additions to, and substitutions and replacements of, any and all of the foregoing; and
  • (s) Proceeds and products of the foregoing, and all insurance of the foregoing and proceeds thereof;

all of the foregoing being herein sometimes referred to as the "Collateral". Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of "Collateral," nothing in this Agreement or any provision of the Credit Agreement shall require the creation or perfection of pledges of or security interests in Excluded Property. For purposes of this Agreement, "Excluded Property" means any permit, lease, license, contract, instrument, other agreement or property right held by any Debtor or to which any Debtor is a party that prohibits, or requires the consent of any person as a condition to, the creation by such Debtor of a security interest or lien thereon or that would be breached or give the other party the right to terminate it as a result thereof, or of any permit, lease, license, contract, other agreement or property right held by such Debtor or to which such Debtor is a party to the extent that any law applicable thereto prohibits the creation of a security interest or lien thereon or that would be breached or give the other party the right to terminate it as a result thereof, but only, in each case, to the extent, and for so long as, such prohibition is not terminated or rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the Uniform Commercial Code (including Sections 9 406(a), 9 407(a), 9 408(a) and 9 409 of the Uniform Commercial Code) or any other applicable law or principals of equity; provided, however, "Excluded Property" shall not include any Proceeds, substitutions or replacements of Excluded Property (unless such Proceeds, substitutions or replacements would constitute Excluded Property); provided, further, the exclusions set forth above shall not apply if such prohibition has been waived or such applicable party to such agreements has otherwise consented to the creation hereunder of a security interest in such Excluded Property. All terms which are used in this Agreement which are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York as in effect from time to time ("UCC") shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are defined in the UCC, unless this Agreement shall otherwise specifically provide. For purposes of this Agreement, the term (a) "Receivables" means all rights to the payment of a monetary obligation, whether or not earned by performance, and whether evidenced by an Account, Chattel Paper, Instrument, General Intangible, or otherwise and (b) "Subsidiary Interests" means all equity interests held by a Debtor in its subsidiaries, whether such

equity interests constitute Investment Property or General Intangibles under the UCC, it being acknowledged and agreed that all Receivables and Subsidiary Interests constitute Collateral hereunder.

Section 3. Secured Obligations. This Agreement is made and given to secure, and shall secure, the prompt payment and performance of (a) all "Obligations", as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, all obligations with respect to Loans made and to be made under the Credit Agreement (whether or not evidenced by promissory notes issued thereunder), all obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Secured Creditors for the amount of all drawings on all Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement and all other obligations of the Borrower under all applications for Letters of Credit, all other obligations of the Borrower and the Debtors under the Documents, all obligations of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, with respect to any Lender Financial Instruments Obligations and the agreements relating thereto, all obligations of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, with respect to any Bank Products Obligations and the agreements relating thereto, and all obligations of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, arising under any guaranty issued by it relating to the foregoing or any part thereof (including, for certainty, the amended and restated guarantee made as of the date hereof granted by, among others, each Debtor in favor of the Secured Creditors), in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising (and whether arising before or after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy and including all interest, costs, fees, and charges after the entry of an order for relief against a Debtor in a case under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar proceeding, whether or not such interest, costs, fees and charges would be an allowed claim against such Debtor in such proceeding), due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and howsoever evidenced, held or acquired and (b) any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and charges, legal or otherwise, suffered or incurred by the Secured Creditors, and any of them individually, in collecting or enforcing any of such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities or in realizing on or protecting or preserving any security therefor, including, without limitation, the lien and security interest granted hereby (all of the indebtedness, obligations, liabilities, expenses, and charges described above being hereinafter referred to as the "Secured Obligations"). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the right of recovery against any Debtor under this Agreement shall not exceed \$1.00 less than the lowest amount that would render such Debtor's obligations under this Agreement void or voidable under applicable law, including fraudulent conveyance law and (b) the Secured Obligations with respect to any Debtor shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligation (as hereinafter defined).

"Excluded Swap Obligation" means, with respect to any Debtor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the grant by such Debtor of a security interest to secure such Swap Obligation (or any guaranty thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Debtor's failure for any

reason not to constitute an "eligible contract participant" as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the security interest granted by such Debtor becomes effective with respect to such related Swap Obligation.

"Swap Obligation" means, with respect to any Debtor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a "swap" within the meaning of section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 4. Covenants, Agreements, Representations and Warranties. Each Debtor hereby covenants and agrees with, and represents and warrants to, the Secured Creditors that:

  • (a) Each Debtor is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Debtor is the sole and lawful owner of its Collateral, and has full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform each and all of the matters and things herein provided for. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the observance and performance of each of the matters and things herein set forth, will not (i) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon any Debtor or any provision of any Debtor's organizational documents (e.g., charter, articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws, articles or certificate of formation or organization and limited liability company operating agreement, partnership agreement or similar organizational documents) or any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting any Debtor or any of its property or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance on any property of any Debtor except for the lien and security interest granted to the Agent hereunder and as permitted under the Credit Agreement.
  • (b) Each Debtor's respective chief executive office is at the location listed under Column 2 on Schedule A attached hereto opposite such Debtor's name; and such Debtor has no other executive offices or places of business other than those listed under Column 3 on Schedule A attached hereto opposite such Debtor's name. The Collateral owned or leased by each Debtor is and shall remain in such Debtor's possession or control at the locations listed under Columns 2 and 3 on Schedule A attached hereto opposite such Debtor's name (collectively for each Debtor, the "Permitted Collateral Locations"), except for (i) Collateral which in the ordinary course of such Debtor's business is in transit between Permitted Collateral Locations and (ii) Collateral aggregating less than \$50,000 in fair market value outstanding at any one time. If for any reason any Collateral is at any time kept or located at a location other than a Permitted Collateral Location, the Agent shall nevertheless have and retain a lien on and security interest therein. The Debtors own and shall continue to own the Permitted Collateral Locations except to the

extent otherwise disclosed under Columns 2 and 3 on Schedule A. No Debtor shall move its chief executive office or maintain a place of business at a location other than those specified under Columns 2 or 3 on Schedule A or permit any Collateral to be located at a location other than a Permitted Collateral Location, in each case without first providing the Agent at least 30 days prior written notice of such Debtor's intent to do so; provided that each Debtor shall at all times maintain its chief executive office, places of business, and Permitted Collateral Locations in the United States of America and Canada unless specifically agreed to in writing by the Agent and such Debtor shall have taken all action reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain the lien and security interest of the Agent in the Collateral at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect (at which time Schedule A hereof shall be deemed amended to include each such additional Permitted Collateral Location, and the Debtors agree to furnish to the Agent from time to time upon its request an updated Schedule A listing all such Permitted Collateral Locations).

  • (c) Each Debtor's legal name, jurisdiction of organization and organizational number (if any) are correctly set forth under Column 1 on Schedule A of this Agreement. No Debtor has transacted business at any time during the immediately preceding five year period, and does not currently transact business, under any other legal names or trade names other than the prior legal names and trade names (if any) set forth on Schedule B attached hereto. No Debtor shall change its jurisdiction of organization without the Agent's prior written consent. No Debtor shall change its legal name or transact business under any other trade name without first giving 30 days'(or such lesser period of time as the Agent may agree) prior written notice of its intent to do so to the Agent.
  • (d) The Collateral and every part thereof is and shall be free and clear of all security interests, liens (including, without limitation, mechanics', laborers' and statutory liens), attachments, levies, and encumbrances of every kind, nature, and description and whether voluntary or involuntary, except for the lien and security interest of the Agent therein, as otherwise permitted on Schedule G attached hereto and other liens permitted by Section 10.2(b) of the Credit Agreement (herein, the "Permitted Liens"). Each Debtor shall warrant and defend the Collateral against any claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest in the Collateral adverse to any of the Secured Creditors.
  • (e) Each Debtor will promptly pay when due all material taxes, assessments, and governmental charges and levies upon or against it or its Collateral, in each case before the same become delinquent and before penalties accrue thereon, unless and to the extent that the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which prevent attachment of any lien resulting therefrom to,

foreclosure on or other realization upon any Collateral and preclude interference with the operation of its business in the ordinary course and such Debtor shall have established adequate reserves therefor.

  • (f) Each Debtor agrees it will not waste or destroy the Collateral or any part thereof and will not be negligent in the care or use of any Collateral. Each Debtor agrees it will not use, manufacture, sell or distribute any Collateral in material violation of any statute, ordinance or other governmental requirement. Each Debtor will perform in all material respects its obligations under any contract or other agreement constituting part of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that the Secured Creditors have no responsibility to perform such obligations.
  • (g) Subject to Sections 5(c), 6(a), 7(b), 7(c), and 8(c) hereof and the terms of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 10.2(d) thereof), each Debtor agrees it will not, without the Agent's prior written consent, sell, assign, mortgage, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein.
  • (h) Pursuant to Section 10.1(o) of the Credit Agreement, the Debtors shall at all times insure the Collateral consisting of tangible personal property against such risks and hazards as other persons similarly situated insure against, and including in any event loss or damage by fire, theft, burglary, pilferage, loss in transit and such other hazards as the Agent may reasonably specify. All insurance required hereby shall be maintained in amounts and under policies and with insurers reasonably acceptable to the Agent, and all such policies shall contain loss payable clauses naming the Agent as loss payee as its interest may appear (and, if the Agent requests, naming the Agent as an additional insured therein) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent. All premiums on such insurance shall be paid by the Debtors. Certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with the foregoing and, at the Agent's request, the policies of such insurance shall be delivered by the Debtors to the Agent. All insurance required hereby shall provide that any loss shall be payable to the Agent notwithstanding any act or negligence of any Debtor, shall provide that no cancellation thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after receipt by the relevant Debtor and the Agent of written notice thereof, and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in all other respects. In case of any material loss, damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part thereof, the relevant Debtor shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Agent generally describing the nature and extent of such damage or destruction. In case of any loss, damage to or destruction of the Collateral or any part thereof, the relevant Debtor, whether or not the insurance proceeds, if any, received on account of such damage or destruction shall be sufficient for that purpose, at such Debtor's cost and expense, shall promptly repair or replace the Collateral so lost, damaged, or destroyed,

except to the extent such Collateral, prior to its loss, damage, or destruction, had become uneconomical, obsolete, or worn out and is not necessary for or of importance to the proper conduct of such Debtor's business in the ordinary course. In the event any Debtor shall receive any proceeds of such insurance, such Debtor shall immediately pay over such proceeds to the Agent. Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Agent, at the Agent's option, to adjust, compromise, and settle any losses under any insurance afforded at any time during the existence and continuance of any Event of Default, and each Debtor does hereby irrevocably constitute the Agent, and each of its nominees, officers, agents, attorneys, and any other person whom the Agent may designate, as such Debtor's attorneys in fact, with full power and authority to effect such adjustment, compromise, and/or settlement and to endorse any drafts drawn by an insurer of the Collateral or any part thereof and to do everything necessary to carry out such purposes and to receive and receipt for any unearned premiums due under policies of such insurance. Unless the Agent elects to adjust, compromise, or settle losses as aforesaid, any adjustment, compromise, and/or settlement of any losses under any insurance shall be made by the relevant Debtor subject to final approval of the Agent (regardless of whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred) in the case of losses exceeding \$50,000. Net insurance proceeds received by the Agent under the provisions hereof or under any policy of insurance covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be applied to the reduction of the Secured Obligations (whether or not then due); provided, however, that the Agent agrees to release such insurance proceeds to the relevant Debtor for replacement or restoration of the portion of the Collateral lost, damaged, or destroyed if, but only if, (i) at the time of release no Event of Default exists, (ii) written application for such release is received by the Agent from such Debtor within 30 days of receipt of such proceeds, and (iii) the Agent has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the Collateral lost, damaged or destroyed has been or will be replaced or restored to its condition immediately prior to the loss, destruction or other event giving rise to the payment of such insurance proceeds. All insurance proceeds shall be subject to the lien and security interest of the Agent hereunder.

UNLESS THE DEBTORS PROVIDE THE AGENT WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE AGENT MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT THE DEBTORS' EXPENSE TO PROTECT THE AGENT'S INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT ANY DEBTOR'S INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL. THE COVERAGE PURCHASED BY THE AGENT MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIMS THAT ANY DEBTOR MAKES OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST SUCH DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL. THE DEBTORS MAY LATER CANCEL ANY SUCH INSURANCE PURCHASED BY THE AGENT, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING THE AGENT WITH EVIDENCE THAT THE

31491711.4

DEBTORS HAVE OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE AGENT PURCHASES INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, THE DEBTORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE, INCLUDING INTEREST AND ANY OTHER OUT-OF-POCKET CHARGES THAT THE AGENT MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SECURED HEREBY. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE THE DEBTORS MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON THEIR OWN.

  • (i) Each Debtor will at all times allow the Secured Creditors and their respective representatives free access to and right of inspection of the Collateral at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any other Secured Creditor may designate and, in the absence of any existing Event of Default, (x) with reasonable prior written notice to the relevant Debtor and (y) during the relevant Debtor's business hours.
  • (j) If any Collateral is in the possession or control of any agents or processors of a Debtor and an Event of Default exists and the Agent so requests, such Debtor agrees to notify such agents or processors in writing of the Agent's lien and security interest therein and instruct them to hold all such Collateral for the Agent's account and subject to the Agent's instructions. Each Debtor will, upon the request of the Agent, authorize and instruct all bailees and any other parties, if any, at any time processing, labeling, packaging, holding, storing, shipping or transferring all or any part of the Collateral to permit the Secured Creditors and their respective representatives to examine and inspect any of the Collateral then in such party's possession and to verify from such party's own books and records any information concerning the Collateral or any part thereof which the Secured Creditors or their respective representatives may seek to verify. As to any premises not owned by a Debtor wherein any of the Collateral is located, if any, such Debtor shall, upon the Agent's request, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each party having any right, title or interest in, or lien on, any of such premises to enter into an agreement (any such agreement to contain a legal description of such premises) whereby such party disclaims any right, title, and interest in and lien on the Collateral, allows the removal of such Collateral by the Agent or its agents or representatives, and otherwise is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent.
  • (k) Each Debtor agrees from time to time to deliver to the Agent such evidence of the existence, identity, and location of its Collateral and of its availability as collateral security pursuant hereto (including, without limitation, schedules describing all

Receivables created or acquired by such Debtor, copies of customer invoices or the equivalent and original shipping or delivery receipts for all merchandise and other goods sold or leased or services rendered by it, together with such Debtor's warranty of the genuineness thereof, and reports stating the book value of its Inventory and Equipment by major category and location), in each case as the Agent may reasonably request. The Agent shall have the right to verify all or any part of the Collateral in any manner, and through any medium, which the Agent considers appropriate and reasonable, and each Debtor agrees to furnish all assistance and information, and perform any acts, which the Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith. Each Debtor shall promptly notify the Agent of any Collateral that such Debtor has determined to have been rendered obsolete, stating the prior book value of such Collateral, its type and location.

  • (l) Each Debtor will comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of any and all leases, easements, right of way agreements, and other similar agreements binding upon such Debtor or affecting the Collateral, in each case which cover the premises wherein the Collateral is located, and any orders, ordinances, laws or statutes of any city, state or other governmental entity, department or agency having jurisdiction with respect to such premises or the conduct of business thereon.
  • (m) Schedule C attached hereto contains a true, complete, and current listing of all patents, trademarks, tradestyles, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights (including all registrations and applications therefor) owned by each of the Debtors as of the date hereof that are registered with any governmental authority. The Debtors shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of any additional intellectual property rights acquired or arising after the date hereof that are or are required to be registered with any governmental authority, and shall submit to the Agent a supplement to Schedule C to reflect such additional rights (provided any Debtor's failure to do so shall not impair the Agent's security interest therein). Each Debtor owns or possesses rights to use all franchises, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, tradestyles, copyrights, and rights with respect to the foregoing which are required to conduct its business and which do not infringe on the rights of any third party. No event has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any such rights, and the Debtors are not liable to any person for infringement under applicable law with respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations.
  • (n) Schedule F attached hereto contains a true, complete and current listing of all Commercial Tort Claims held by the Debtors as of the date hereof, each described by referring to a specific incident giving rise to the claim. Each Debtor agrees to

execute and deliver to the Agent an agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule I, or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Agent, promptly upon becoming aware of any Commercial Tort Claim of such Debtor arising after the date hereof (provided any Debtor's failure to do so shall not impair the Agent's security interest therein).

  • (o) Each Debtor agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent such further agreements, assignments, instruments, and documents, and to do all such other things, as the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to assure the Agent its lien and security interest hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) such financing statements, and amendments thereof or supplements thereto, or other instruments and documents as the Agent may from time to time reasonably require to comply with the UCC and any other applicable law, (ii) such agreements with respect to patents, trademarks, copyrights, and similar intellectual property rights as the Agent may from time to time reasonably require to comply with the filing requirements of the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, and (iii) such control agreements with respect to Deposit Accounts, Investment Property, Letter of Credit Rights, and electronic Chattel Paper, and to cause the relevant depository institutions, financial intermediaries, and issuers to execute and deliver such control agreements, as the Agent may from time to time reasonably require. Each Debtor hereby agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any such financing statement is sufficient for filing as a financing statement by the Agent without notice thereof to such Debtor wherever the Agent in its sole discretion desires to file the same. Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Agent to file any and all financing statements covering the Collateral or any part thereof as the Agent may require, including financing statements describing the Collateral as "all assets" or "all personal property" or words of like meaning. The Agent may order lien searches from time to time against any Debtor and the Collateral, and the Debtors shall promptly reimburse the Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such lien searches. In the event for any reason the law of any jurisdiction other than New York becomes or is applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof, or to any of the Secured Obligations, each Debtor agrees to execute and deliver all such agreements, assignments, instruments, and documents and to do all such other things as the Agent deems necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, and enforce the security interest of the Agent under the law of such other jurisdiction. Each Debtor agrees to mark its books and records to reflect the lien and security interest of the Agent in the Collateral.
  • (p) On failure of any Debtor to perform any of the covenants and agreements herein contained, the Agent may, at its option, perform the same and in so doing may

expend such sums as the Agent reasonably deems advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, liens, and encumbrances, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claims, and all other expenditures which the Agent may be compelled to make by operation of law or which the Agent may make by agreement or otherwise for the protection of the security hereof. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Debtors upon demand, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations secured hereunder, and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the rate per annum established as the default rate in the Credit Agreement (such rate per annum as so determined being hereinafter referred to as the "Default Rate"). No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Agent on behalf of a Debtor, and no such advancement or expenditure therefor, shall relieve any Debtor of any default under the terms of this Agreement or in any way obligate any Secured Creditor to take any further or future action with respect thereto. The Agent, in making any payment hereby authorized, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim. The Agent, in performing any act hereunder, shall be the sole judge of whether the relevant Debtor is required to perform the same under the terms of this Agreement. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge any account of any Debtor maintained with any Secured Creditor for the amount of such sums and amounts so expended.

Section 5. Special Provisions Re: Receivables.

(a) As of the time any Receivable owned by a Debtor becomes subject to the security interest provided for hereby, and at all times thereafter, such Debtor shall be deemed to have warranted as to each such Receivable that all warranties of such Debtor set forth in this Agreement are true and correct with respect to such Receivable; that such Receivable and all papers and documents relating thereto are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be; that such Receivable is valid and subsisting; that the amount of such Receivable represented as owing is the correct amount actually and unconditionally owing, except for normal cash discounts on normal trade terms in the ordinary course of business; that the amount of such Receivable represented as owing is not disputed and is not subject to any set offs, credits, deductions or countercharges other than those arising in the ordinary course of such Debtor's business which are disclosed to the Agent in writing promptly upon such Debtor becoming aware thereof; and, except as disclosed to the Agent in writing at or prior to the time such Receivable is created,

that no surety bond was required or given in connection with such Receivable or the contracts or purchase orders out of which the same arose.

  • (b) If any Receivable arises out of a contract with the United States of America, or any state or political subdivision thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, each Debtor agrees to promptly so notify the Agent and, at the request of the Agent or the Secured Creditors, execute whatever instruments and documents are required by the Agent in order that such Receivable shall be assigned to the Agent and that proper notice of such assignment shall be given under the federal Assignment of Claims Act (or any successor statute) or any similar state or local statute, as the case may be.
  • (c) Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing any merchandise or other goods which are returned by a customer or account debtor or otherwise recovered may be resold by a Debtor in the ordinary course of its business as presently conducted in accordance with Section 7(b) hereof; and, during the existence of any Event of Default, such merchandise and other goods shall be set aside at the request of the Agent and held by the relevant Debtor as trustee for the Secured Creditors and shall remain part of the Secured Creditors' Collateral. Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Debtors may settle and adjust disputes and claims with its customers and account debtors, handle returns and recoveries, and grant discounts, credits, and allowances in the ordinary course of its business as presently conducted for amounts and on terms which the relevant Debtor in good faith considers advisable; and, during the existence of any Event of Default, at the Agent's request, the Debtors shall notify the Agent promptly of all returns and recoveries and, on the Agent's request, deliver any such merchandise or other goods to the Agent. During the existence of any Event of Default, at the Agent's request, the Debtors shall also notify the Agent promptly of all disputes and claims and settle or adjust them at no expense to the Agent, but no discount, credit or allowance other than on normal trade terms in the ordinary course of business as presently conducted shall be granted to any customer or account debtor and no returns of merchandise or other goods shall be accepted by any Debtor without the Agent's consent. The Agent may, at all times during the existence of any Event of Default, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with customers or account debtors for amounts and upon terms which the Agent considers advisable.
  • (d) To the extent any Receivable or other item of Collateral is evidenced by an Instrument or tangible Chattel Paper, each Debtor shall cause such Instrument or tangible Chattel Paper to be pledged and delivered to the Agent; provided, however, that, prior to the existence of a Default or Event of Default and thereafter until

otherwise required by the Agent, a Debtor shall not be required to deliver any such Instrument or tangible Chattel Paper if and only so long as the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper held by the Debtors and not delivered to the Agent hereunder is less than \$50,000 at any one time outstanding. Unless delivered to the Agent or its agent, all tangible Chattel Paper and Instruments shall contain a legend acceptable to the Agent indicating that such Chattel Paper or Instrument is subject to the security interest of the Agent contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6. Collection of Receivables.

  • (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Debtor shall make collection of its Receivables and may use the same to carry on its business in accordance with sound business practice and otherwise subject to the terms hereof.
  • (b) In the event the Agent requests any Debtor to do so:
  • (i) all Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper at any time constituting part of the Receivables (including any postdated checks) shall, upon receipt by such Debtor, be immediately endorsed to and deposited with Agent; and/or
  • (ii) such Debtor shall instruct all customers and account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Receivables or any other Collateral to a lockbox or lockboxes under the sole custody and control of the Agent and which are maintained at one or more post offices selected by the Agent.
  • (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, whether or not the Agent has exercised any of its other rights under the other provisions of this Section 6, the Agent or its designee may notify the relevant Debtor's customers and account debtors at any time that Receivables have been assigned to the Agent or of the Agent's security interest therein, and either in its own name, or such Debtor's name, or both, demand, collect (including, without limitation, through a lockbox analogous to that described in Section 6(b)(ii) hereof), receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any or all amounts due or to become due on Receivables, and in the Agent's discretion file any claim or take any other action or proceeding which the Agent may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect and realize upon the security interest of the Agent in the Receivables or any other Collateral.
  • (d) Any proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral transmitted to or otherwise received by the Agent pursuant to any of the provisions of Sections 6(b) or 6(c) hereof may be handled and administered by the Agent in and through a remittance

account or accounts maintained at the Agent or by the Agent at a commercial bank or banks selected by the Agent (collectively the "Depositary Banks" and individually a "Depositary Bank"), and each Debtor acknowledges that the maintenance of such remittance accounts by the Agent is solely for the Agent's convenience and that the Debtors do not have any right, title or interest in such remittance accounts or any amounts at any time standing to the credit thereof. The Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, apply all or any part of any proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral received by it from any source to the payment of the Secured Obligations (whether or not then due and payable), such applications to be made in such amounts, in such manner and order, and at such intervals as the Agent may from time to time in its discretion determine, but not less often than once each week. The Agent need not apply or give credit for any item included in proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral until the Depositary Bank has received final payment therefor at its office in cash or final solvent credits current at the site of deposit acceptable to the Agent and the Depositary Bank as such. However, if the Agent does permit credit to be given for any item prior to a Depositary Bank receiving final payment therefor and such Depositary Bank fails to receive such final payment or an item is charged back to the Agent or any Depositary Bank for any reason, the Agent may at its election in either instance charge the amount of such item back against any such remittance accounts or any Deposit Account of any Debtor subject to the lien and security interest of this Agreement, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent will release proceeds of Collateral which the Agent has not applied to the Secured Obligations as provided above from the remittance account from time to time promptly after receipt thereof. Each Debtor hereby indemnifies the Secured Creditors from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, charges, and attorneys' fees suffered or incurred by any Secured Creditor because of the maintenance of the foregoing arrangements; provided, however, that no Debtor shall be required to indemnify any Secured Creditor for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise solely from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the person seeking to be indemnified as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Secured Creditors shall have no liability or responsibility to any Debtor for the Agent or any Depositary Bank accepting any check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend "payment in

full" or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement whatsoever or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance.

The foregoing powers of attorney, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Secured Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied and all commitments of the Lenders to extend credit to or for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement have expired or otherwise terminated.

Section 10. Defaults and Remedies.

  • (a) The occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition specified as an "Event of Default" under the Credit Agreement shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder.
  • (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights or remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further the Agent may, without demand and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each Debtor hereby waives to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, at any securities exchange or broker's board or at the Agent's office or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Agent deems advisable, in its discretion. In the exercise of any such remedies, the Agent may sell the Collateral as a unit even though the sales price thereof may be in excess of the amount remaining unpaid on the Secured Obligations. Also, if less than all the Collateral is sold, the Agent shall have no duty to marshal or apportion the part of the Collateral so sold as between the Debtors, or any of them, but may sell and deliver any or all of the Collateral without regard to which of the Debtors are the owners thereof. In addition to all other sums due any Secured Creditor hereunder, each Debtor shall pay the Secured Creditors all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Creditors, including attorneys' fees and court costs, in obtaining, liquidating or enforcing payment of Collateral or the Secured Obligations or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against any Secured Creditor or any Debtor concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Agreement or the Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor statute). Any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is

personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Debtors in accordance with Section 14(b) hereof at least 10 days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice; provided, however, no notification need be given to a Debtor if such Debtor has signed, after an Event of Default hereunder has occurred, a statement renouncing any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. Any Secured Creditor may be the purchaser at any such sale. Each Debtor hereby waives all of its rights of redemption from any such sale. The Agent may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed or the Agent may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place. The Agent has no obligation to prepare the Collateral for sale. The Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral or any part thereof, including disclaimers of any warranties of title or the like, and each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the absence of such warranties shall not render the disposition commercially unreasonable.

(c) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, (i) the Agent shall have the right to take physical possession of any and all of the Collateral and anything found therein, the right for that purpose to enter without legal process any premises where the Collateral may be found (provided such entry be done lawfully), and the right to maintain such possession on the relevant Debtor's premises (each Debtor hereby agreeing, to the extent it may lawfully do so, to lease such premises without cost or expense to the Agent or its designee if the Agent so requests) or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other places as the Agent may desire, (ii) the Agent shall have the right to direct any intermediary at any time holding any Investment Property or other Collateral, or any issuer thereof, to deliver such Collateral or any part thereof to the Agent and/or to liquidate such Collateral or any part thereof and deliver the proceeds thereof to the Agent (including, without limitation, the right to deliver a notice of control with respect to any Collateral held in a securities account or commodities account and deliver all entitlement orders with respect thereto), (iii) the Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights with respect to all Deposit Accounts of each Debtor, including, without limitation, the right to direct the disposition of the funds in each Deposit Account and to collect, withdraw, and receive all amounts due or to become due or payable thereunder, and (iv) each Debtor shall, upon the Agent's demand, promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place designated by the Agent. If the Agent exercises

its right to take possession of the Collateral, each Debtor shall also at its expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the Agent to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security interest of the Agent, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining Collateral records. The Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent's remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Creditors), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

  • (d) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, all rights of the Debtors to exercise the voting and/or consensual powers which they are entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) hereof and/or to receive and retain the distributions which they are entitled to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof, shall, at the option of the Agent, cease and thereupon become vested in the Agent, which, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, shall then be entitled solely and exclusively to exercise all voting and other consensual powers pertaining to the Investment Property and/or to receive and retain the distributions which such Debtor would otherwise have been authorized to retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof and shall then be entitled solely and exclusively to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if the Agent were the absolute owner thereof including, without limitation, the rights to exchange, at its discretion, all Investment Property or any part thereof upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the respective issuer thereof or upon the exercise by or on behalf of any such issuer or the Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Investment Property and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver the Investment Property or any part thereof with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may determine. In the event the Agent in good faith believes any of the Collateral constitutes restricted securities within the meaning of any applicable securities laws, any disposition thereof in compliance with such laws shall not render the disposition commercially unreasonable.
  • (e) EACH DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT WITH RESPECT TO ITS INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH INVESTMENT

PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS OR OTHER EQUITY HOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS OR OTHER EQUITY HOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. EACH DEBTOR HEREBY RATIFIES AND APPROVES ALL ACTS OF ANY SUCH ATTORNEY AND AGREES THAT NEITHER THE AGENT NOR ANY SUCH ATTORNEY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR FOR ANY ERROR OF JUDGMENT OR MISTAKE OF FACT OR LAW OTHER THAN SUCH PERSON'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING POWERS OF ATTORNEY AND PROXY, BEING COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, ARE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN FULLY PAID AND SATISFIED AND ALL COMMITMENTS OF THE LENDERS TO EXTEND CREDIT TO OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF THE BORROWER UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT HAVE EXPIRED OR OTHERWISE BEEN TERMINATED.

(f) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Creditors a royalty free irrevocable license and right to use all of such Debtor's patents, patent applications, patent licenses, trademarks, trademark registrations, trademark licenses, trade names, trade styles, copyrights, copyright applications, copyright licenses and similar intangibles in connection with any foreclosure or other realization by the Agent or the Secured Creditors on all or any part of the Collateral to the extent permitted by law. The license and right granted the Secured Creditors hereby shall be without any royalty or fee or charge whatsoever.

  • (g) The powers conferred upon the Secured Creditors hereunder are solely to protect their interest in the Collateral and shall not impose on them any duty to exercise such powers. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords its own property, consisting of similar type assets, it being understood, however, that the Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking any action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral, or (iii) initiating any action to protect the Collateral or any part thereof against the possibility of a decline in market value. This Agreement constitutes an assignment of rights only and not an assignment of any duties or obligations of the Debtors in any way related to the Collateral, and the Agent shall have no duty or obligation to discharge any such duty or obligation. Neither any Secured Creditor nor any party acting as attorney for any Secured Creditor shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than such person's gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, in no event shall they be liable for any punitive, exemplary, indirect or consequential damages.
  • (h) Failure by the Agent to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or any other agreement between any Debtor and the Agent or provided by law, or delay by the Agent in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver; and no waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated. The rights and remedies of the Secured Creditors under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which any Secured Creditor may have. For purposes of this Agreement, an Event of Default shall be construed as continuing after its occurrence until the same is waived in writing by the Agent.

Section 11. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds and avails of the Collateral at any time received by the Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default shall, when received by the Agent in cash or its equivalent, be applied by the Agent in reduction of, or held as collateral security for, the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Debtors shall remain liable to the Secured Creditors for any deficiency. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Borrower, as agent for the Debtors, or to whomsoever the Agent reasonably determines is lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 12. Continuing Agreement. This Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Secured Obligations, both for principal and interest, have been fully paid and satisfied and the commitments of the Lenders to extend credit to or for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement have expired or otherwise terminated. Upon such termination of this Agreement, the Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Debtors, forthwith release its liens and security interests hereunder.

Section 13. The Agent. In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to all the rights, authority, privileges, and immunities provided in the Credit Agreement, all of which provisions of said Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 15 thereof) are incorporated by reference herein with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety. The Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the Secured Creditors or any other holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the liens and security interests granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

Section 14. Miscellaneous.

  • (a) This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally. This Agreement shall create a continuing lien on and security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Debtor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Creditors hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Creditors and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Debtor may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the Agent's prior written consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise.
  • (b) Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including, without limitation, notice by telecopy or via email) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address, email address or telecopier number set forth below (or, if no such address is set forth below, at the address of the relevant Debtor as shown on the records of the Agent), or such other address, email address or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the other given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telecopy, via email or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.

  • (d) The lien and security interest herein created and provided for stand as direct and primary security for the Secured Obligations of the Borrower arising under or otherwise relating to the Credit Agreement as well as for the other Secured Obligations secured hereby. No application of any sums received by the Secured Creditors in respect of the Collateral or any disposition thereof to the reduction of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof shall in any manner entitle any Debtor to any right, title or interest in or to the Secured Obligations or any collateral or

security therefor, whether by subrogation or otherwise, unless and until all Secured Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied and all commitments to extend credit to or for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement have expired or otherwise been terminated. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the lien and security interest hereby created and provided are absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of any Secured Creditor or any other holder of any Secured Obligations, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien and security interest hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by any Secured Creditor or any other holder of any Secured Obligations of any other security for or guarantors upon any of the Secured Obligations or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of any Secured Creditor or any other holder of any of the Secured Obligations to realize upon or protect any of the Secured Obligations or any collateral or security therefor. The lien and security interest hereof shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by (and the Secured Creditors, without notice to anyone, are hereby authorized to make from time to time) any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, release, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, change in, modification or disposition of any of the Secured Obligations or of any collateral or security therefor, or of any guaranty thereof, or of any instrument or agreement setting forth the terms and conditions pertaining to any of the foregoing. The Secured Creditors may at their discretion at any time grant credit to the Borrower without notice to the Debtors in such amounts and on such terms as the Secured Creditors may elect without in any manner impairing the lien and security interest created and provided for. In order to realize hereon and to exercise the rights granted the Secured Creditors hereunder and under applicable law, there shall be no obligation on the part of any Secured Creditor or any other holder of any Secured Obligations at any time to first resort for payment to the Borrower or any Debtor or to any guaranty of the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or to resort to any other collateral, security, property, liens or any other rights or remedies whatsoever, and the Secured Creditors shall have the right to enforce this Agreement against any Debtor or its Collateral irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps seeking resort to or realization upon or from any of the foregoing are pending.

(e) In the event the Secured Creditors shall at any time in their discretion permit a substitution of Debtors hereunder or a party shall wish to become a Debtor hereunder, such substituted or additional Debtor shall, upon executing an agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule H, become a party hereto and be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as though such Debtor had originally executed this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution, in lieu of the Debtor being replaced. Any such agreement shall contain information as to such Debtor necessary to update Schedules A, B, C, D, E, and F hereto with

respect to it. No such substitution shall be effective absent the written consent of the Agent nor shall it in any manner affect the obligations of the other Debtors hereunder.

  • (f) This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the State of New York and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law provisions (other than Sections 5- 1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations law). The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any provision hereof.
  • (g) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterpart signature pages, each constituting an original, but all together one and the same instrument. Each Debtor acknowledges that this Agreement is and shall be effective upon its execution and delivery by such Debtor to the Agent, and it shall not be necessary for the Agent to execute this Agreement or any other acceptance hereof or otherwise to signify or express its acceptance hereof.
  • (h) Each Debtor hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in New York County for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
