The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of funds made available to it pursuant to the preceding sentence available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the amount so made available by the Administrative Agent shall be a separate loan to the Borrowers which loan the applicable Lender and the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount (with demand to be first made on such Lender if legally possible) with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds

Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Sections 2.15 and 2.22). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such payment shall discharge the Borrowers’ obligations to pay such demand loan and from that time shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(a) The Bridge Loan Commitment of each Lender shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Closing Date and the Rollover Loan Commitment of each Lender shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Bridge Loan Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Commitments).

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

(a) The Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) on the Bridge Loan Maturity Date in Dollars to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Bridge Loan made to the Borrowers (unless converted to a Rollover Loan in accordance with Section 2.01), and (ii) on the Rollover Loan Maturity Date in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Rollover Loan of such Lender (unless exchanged for an Exchange Note in accordance with Section 2.01).

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount and currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Canadian Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 (each, a “Bridge Note”) or E-2 (each, a “Rollover Note”), as the case may be, for the Bridge Loans and Rollover Loans, respectively. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of any Bridge Loan or Rollover Loan (provided the same has not been exchanged for an Exchange Note) in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.17), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.11(g).

(e) Subject to clause (f) below, Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to prepay outstanding Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) (other than with respect to prepayments with proceeds from an issuance of Permanent Securities or other Permitted Senior Subordinated Bridge Refinancing) shall be required to be made to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are applied within the Reinvestment Period to the repayment of loans outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or the Senior Bridge Facility or Senior Exchange Notes or any other Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (and to the extent involving a repayment of a revolving credit facility, a permanent commitment reduction thereunder in a corresponding amount was effected in connection with such repayment).

(f) Any Lender holding Loans may elect, on not less than two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to any mandatory prepayment with respect to a Prepayment Event (other than with respect to a Debt Incurrence Event), not to have such prepayment applied to such Lender’s Loans, in which case the amount not so applied shall be retained by the Borrowers.

(g) Prior to any repayment of any Borrowing under any Facility hereunder, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing.

SECTION 2.12 Change of Control Prepayment Offer. Unless otherwise prepaid in accordance with Section 2.11(a) hereof, the Borrowers shall make an offer to prepay all of the Bridge Loans pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Lenders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 60 days following any Change of Control, the Canadian Borrower will send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and to each Lender to the address of such Lender appearing in the Register with a copy to the Administrative Agent, with the following information:

(i) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 2.12 and that all Bridge Loans accepted to prepayment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be accepted for payment by the Borrowers;

(ii) the prepayment price and date of prepayment, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(iii) that any Bridge Loans not properly accepted for prepayment pursuant to this Agreement will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(iv) that unless the Borrowers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Bridge Loans accepted for prepayment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(v) that Lenders will be entitled to withdraw their election to require the Borrowers to prepay such Bridge Loans, provided that the Administrative Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the 30th day following the date of the Change of Control notice, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Lender, the principal amount of Bridge Loans accepted for prepayment, and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing its election to have such Bridge Loans prepaid; and

(vi) if such notice is mailed prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Borrowers will, to the extent permitted by law,

(i) prepay all Bridge Loans, or portions thereof, accepted for prepayment in accordance with this Section 2.12 pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,

(ii) deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Bridge Loans or portions thereof so accepted for prepayment, and

(iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate to the Administrative Agent stating that such Loans or portions thereof have been prepaid by the Borrowers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.12 and prepays all Bridge Loans validly accepted for prepayment under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

Prior to making any Change of Control Prepayment, the Borrowers shall, within 60 days of the occurrence of the Change of Control, cause all outstanding obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any other Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness prohibiting such prepayment to be repaid in full or obtain the requisite consents thereunder to make such prepayment of the Bridge Loans.

(a) The Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, for their respective accounts, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, at the times specified therein (the “Fees”).

(b) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.15 and 2.22, the Loans shall bear interest at the greater of (x) the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin and (y) the Rate Floor, but shall not exceed the Rate Cap (plus, for the avoidance of doubt, payments made in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.18 and increases pursuant to Section 2.14(c) and amounts owed in respect of the Registration Rights Agreement).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing (and notwithstanding the interest provisions of Section 2.15), during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Loans shall bear interest, and any other overdue amounts shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest, in each case after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to the Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or Section 2.15, as applicable.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Bridge Loans, on the Bridge Loan Maturity Date and (iii) in the case of Rollover Loans or an Exchange Date and/or, on the Rollover Loan Maturity Date; provided that interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

(i) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest is calculated on the basis of a period of time other than a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, the annual rate of interest to which each rate of interest utilized pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is such rate so utilized multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used in such calculation. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest will not apply to any interest calculation under the Loan Documents, and the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(ii) If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender under any Loan Documents in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding that provision, that amount

or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate, the adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, (A) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under this Section 2.14 and (B) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(iii) Notwithstanding clause (ii) above, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to the excess, and pending reimbursement, the amount of the excess shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Canadian Borrower.

(iv) Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.14(f) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term of this Agreement on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of interest (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall be prorated over that period of time and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of that determination.

SECTION 2.15 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing denominated in any currency:

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

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders under a Facility that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Canadian Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and such Loans shall bear interest during such period at the greater of (x) the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin less 100 base points and (y) the Rate Floor, but shall not exceed the Rate Cap (plus, for the avoidance of doubt, payments made in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.18 and increases pursuant to Section 2.14(c).

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case determined to be material by such Lender, then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (as well as reasonably detailed calculations thereof) shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts thereof. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Lender shall notify the Canadian Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Canadian Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.17 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Canadian Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Canadian Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (but exclusive of lost profit or margin) attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurodollar Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Euros of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Canadian Borrower and shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts thereof. The Canadian Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, within 20 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including any such Tax imposed under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and arising on an assignment (other than an assignment that is not effected in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) of all or part of a Loan to a person resident of or deemed resident of Canada that is

withheld from or paid by the Lender or Administrative Agent, and also including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability (accompanied by official receipts, if available, of the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Lender or Administrative Agent), delivered to the applicable Loan Party by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and at such times as may reasonably be requested by such Borrower, in either case to permit such payments to be made without such withholding tax or at a reduced rate; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph (e) with respect to any withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States or Canada if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or to the extent it would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall promptly pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent or Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under another Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply).

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or 2.19(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the sole good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, or is a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.20 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Canadian Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (a) all Obligations of Borrowers owing to such Non- Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Canadian Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04.

SECTION 2.22 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all Eurodollar Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings which shall bear interest by the rates set forth in Section 2.15, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.

SECTION 3.06 No Material Adverse Effect. Since September 30, 2006 (but after giving effect to the Transactions) no Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

(a) Each of the Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all real property and good title to all personal property owned by it and good and marketable title to a leasehold estate in the real and personal property leased by it, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances or restrictions, except (i) as set forth in Schedule 3.07 and (ii) as created or expressly permitted by Section 6.02, except where the failure to have such title could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other similar agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Equity Interests of the Loan Parties, the Company or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, except as set forth on Schedule 3.08(c).

SECTION 3.12 Use of Proceeds. The Initial Canadian Borrower will use the proceeds of Bridge Loans solely to finance, in part, the Acquisition and the Refinancing and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions.

(a) each of the Loan Parties (i) has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all U.S. and Canadian federal, state, provincial, local and other non-U.S. Tax returns required to have been filed by it and each such Tax return is true and correct, which returns, if not filed or not true and correct, could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) has timely paid or caused to be timely paid all Taxes shown thereon to be due and payable by it and all other Taxes or assessments, except Taxes or assessments that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings in accordance with Section 5.03 and for which Holdings, Intermediate Holdco, the Company or any of the Material Subsidiaries (as the case may be) has set aside on its books adequate reserves which Taxes, if not timely paid, could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect;

(b) each of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Material Subsidiaries has paid in full or made adequate provision (in accordance with U.S. or Canadian GAAP, as applicable) for the payment of all Taxes due with respect to all periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, which Taxes, if not paid or adequately provided for, could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and

SECTION 3.14 No Material Misstatements. (a) All information, other than the projections described below, that has been or is hereafter made available to any Arranger or any of the Lenders by any Loan Party or Subsidiary or any of their respective representatives (or on such Loan Party or Subsidiary’s behalf) or to such Loan Party or Subsidiary’s knowledge by any of the Company or any of its affiliates or representatives (or on their behalf) in connection with any aspect of the Transactions (the “Information”) is and will be complete and correct in all material respects as of the date such Information was furnished to the Lenders and (in the case of Information delivered prior to the Closing Date) as of the Closing Date and does not and will not, when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made and (b) all material financial projections (including the Projections and information delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(f)) concerning the Loan Parties that have been or are hereafter made available to any Joint Lead Arranger or any of the Lenders by any Loan Party or Subsidiary or their respective representatives (or on such Loan Party or Subsidiary’s behalf) or to such Loan Party or Subsidiary’s knowledge by any of the Company or its affiliates or representatives (or on their behalf) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions you believe to be reasonable at the time made.

(a) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each of Holdings, the Restricted Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the provisions of the Code relating to Employee Benefit Plans and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder and any similar applicable non-U.S. law. No Reportable Event has occurred during the past five years as to which Holdings, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate was required to file a report with the PBGC, other than reports that have been filed and reports the failure of which to file could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The excess of the present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan of Holdings, the Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto for which a valuation is available, over the value of the assets of

such Plan could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the excess of the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Plan) as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto for which valuations are available, over the value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events which have occurred or for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of Holdings, the Restricted Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates has received any written notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or has been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, or has knowledge that any Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in reorganization or to be terminated, where such reorganization or termination has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Non-U.S. Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations, orders and published interpretations thereunder and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Non-U.S. Pension Plan have been timely made. None of Holdings, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Non-U.S. Pension Plan. The excess, if any, of the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Non-U.S. Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, over the current value of the assets of such Non-U.S. Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as to matters that could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (i) no written notice, request for information, order, complaint or penalty has been received by the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries relating to Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries, and there are no judicial, administrative or other actions, claims, suits or proceedings relating to Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened which allege a violation of or liability under any Environmental Laws, (ii) each of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Material Subsidiaries has all permits necessary for its current operations to comply with all applicable Environmental Laws and is in compliance with the terms of such permits and with all other applicable Environmental Laws, (iii) there has been no written environmental audit Phase I or Phase II Environmental Assessment conducted since January 1, 2003 by Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries of any property currently owned or leased by Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries which has not been made available to the Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof, (iv) there has been no Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property currently, or to the knowledge of Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries formerly owned or leased by Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law, (v) no Hazardous Material generated, owned or controlled by Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries has been transported to, or treated or disposed of at, any location in a manner that would reasonably be expected to result in any liability of any of them under any Environmental Laws, (vi) neither Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries are currently conducting or financing, either individually or together with other potentially responsible parties, any investigation, response or other corrective action at any location pursuant to any Environmental Law, (vii) neither Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries has contractually assumed or undertaken responsibility for any liability or obligation of any other Person arising under or relating to Environmental Laws.

(a) Schedule 3.18(a) lists completely and correctly as of the Closing Date all material real property owned by each Loan Party and the addresses thereof. Each Loan Party owns in fee all the real property set forth as being owned by them on such Schedule.

(b) Schedule 3.18(b) lists completely and correctly as of the Closing Date all material real property leased by each Loan Party and the addresses thereof. As of the Closing Date, each Loan Party has valid leases in all the real property set forth as being leased by them on such Schedule.

(a) Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions (1) (i) the fair value of the assets of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of Holdings and its

Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date; and (2) (i) the property of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, if disposed of (as a going concern) at a fairly conducted sale under legal process, would be sufficient to enable payment of all their obligations, due and accruing due, (ii) the property of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is, at a fair valuation, sufficient to enable payment of all their obligations, due and accruing due; (iii) none of the Canadian Loan Parties has ceased paying its current obligations in the ordinary course of business as they generally become due; and (iv) Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries are able to meet their obligations as they generally become due.

(b) Neither Holdings nor any Borrower intends to, and does not believe that it or any of the Material Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such subsidiary and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such subsidiary.

SECTION 3.20 Labor Matters. There are no strikes pending or threatened against Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked and payments made to employees of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Material Subsidiaries have not been in violation in any material respect of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable law dealing with such matters. All material payments due from Holdings, Intermediate Holdco or any of the Material Subsidiaries or for which any claim may be made against Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries, on account of wages and employee health and welfare and employment insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings, the Borrowers or such Material Subsidiary to the extent required by Canadian GAAP. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.20, consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Material Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound, other than collective bargaining agreements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Upon a request (each, a “Securities Demand”) of the Lead Arrangers from time to time from and after the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date, for a period ending 540 days after the Closing Date (such period, the “Securities Demand Period”), after a roadshow and marketing period customary for similar offerings, the Borrowers (or, if so specified by the Lead Arrangers, Holdings or one of its subsidiaries) shall issue Permanent Securities in such amount as will generate gross proceeds of an amount sufficient to repay all outstanding amounts under this Agreement and all related fees and expenses. The Permanent Securities shall have such form, term, yield, guarantees, covenants, subordination and default provisions and other terms as are customary for securities of the type issued by similarly situated issuers in light of the then prevailing market conditions and may be issued in one or more tranches, all as determined by the Investment Bank in its sole discretion; provided that (x) the total weighted average interest rate on the applicable Permanent Securities shall not exceed 12.5% per annum (exclusive of default interest, tax gross ups and amounts owing under the Registration Rights Agreement) and (y) the maturity of the Permanent Securities shall not be earlier than six months after the final stated maturity of the Senior Rollover Loans or a shorter weighted average life (and, if after the issuance of such Permanent Securities, Loans or Exchange Notes will still be outstanding, the Permanent Securities shall not have a maturity date earlier than the Rollover Loan Maturity Date and shall not have a shorter weighted average life than the Rollover Loans).

(b) The Loan Parties will do all things required in the opinion of the Investment Bank, in its sole discretion, in connection with the sale of the Permanent Securities, and in any event as soon as reasonably practicable (it being understood that nothing in this paragraph shall require the Loan Parties to issue Permanent Securities prior to the exercise of the Securities Demand in paragraph (a) above):

(i) no later than 15 days subsequent to the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall have completed and made available to the Investment Bank copies of an offering memorandum for the offer and sale of the Permanent Securities pursuant to Rule 144A of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act containing such disclosures as may be required by applicable laws, as are customary and appropriate for such a document or as may be required by the Investment Bank (including all audited, pro forma and other financial statements and schedules of the Loan Parties of the type that would be required

in a registered public offering of the Permanent Securities on Form S-1 under the Securities Act or as otherwise might be reasonably acceptable to the Investment Bank), and

(ii) senior management and directors (other than Mark Rachesky, Sai Devabhaktuni, Hal Goldstein and each other employee of MHR who is on the board of directors of Loral other than the officers of Loral) of the Loan Parties shall have made themselves available for due diligence, rating agency presentations and a road show and other meetings with potential investors for the Permanent Securities as required by the Investment Bank in its reasonable judgment to market the Permanent Securities (it being understood that only officers and other employees of Loral and the Company shall participate in roadshows).

(c) The Lead Arrangers may at any time require the Borrowers to execute an underwriting or purchase agreement providing for the issuance of the Permanent Securities contemplated hereby substantially in the form of Investment Bank’s standard underwriting or purchase agreement, modified as appropriate to reflect the terms of the transactions contemplated thereby and containing such terms, covenants, conditions, representations, warranties and indemnities as are customary in similar transactions and providing for the delivery of an indenture and a registration rights agreement substantially in the form of Investment Bank’s standard indentures and registration rights agreements, legal opinions, comfort letters and officers’ certificates, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and their counsel, and the Borrowers shall cause the Permanent Securities to be rated by S&P and Moody’s. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Loan Parties represent and warrant that the offering memorandum for the Permanent Securities will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.13 and in addition thereto, the Canadian Borrower covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to refinance the Loans as soon reasonably practicable (it being agreed that for purposes of this clause (d) only (other than during the Securities Demand Period), the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled to take into account the interest rate or other costs of refinancing then available in determining whether such refinancing is commercially reasonable and, except during the Securities Demand Period (when the caps in clause (a) above govern), the Canadian Borrower shall not be required to so refinance at such time if it would incur refinancing costs or rates that it deems to be commercially unreasonable).

(a) The Borrowers shall, as promptly as practicable after the first Exchange Trigger Event but in any event prior to the first Exchange Date, enter into the Exchange Notes Indenture with an indenture trustee (the “Trustee”) being (a) The Bank of New York or (b) such other bank or trust company acting as indenture trustee thereunder, which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by U.S. Federal or state authority and which has a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50.0 million.

(b) On the applicable Exchange Date, the Borrowers shall execute, cause the Trustee to authenticate, and deliver to each Lender who has delivered an Exchange Notice an Exchange Note dated as of the Exchange Date, bearing interest at the rate then in effect on the Rollover Loans and otherwise issued in accordance with the Exchange Notes Indenture, in exchange for such Lender’s Rollover Loan (and any Rollover Note evidencing such Loan), registered in the name specified by such Lender, in the principal amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Rollover Loans for which they are exchanged. The holder of Exchange Notes shall have the option to fix the interest rate on its Exchange Notes in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Notes Indenture.

(c) On the first Exchange Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver, and cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to execute and deliver, to the Arranger a Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Exchange Notes. The Canadian Borrower will, at its own expense, take all reasonable actions (including obtaining CUSIP numbers in respect thereof) necessary to cause the Exchange Notes to be eligible to clear and settle through The Depository Trust Company.

(d) As more particularly provided in the Exchange Notes Indenture, each Exchange Note will bear interest at the rate applicable to the Rollover Loans for which it was exchanged and continue to bear interest at such rate (increasing in accordance with the interest provisions for Rollover Loans as provided herein, provided that the LIBO Rate and interest payment date provisions shall be determined in accordance with LIBO Rate and interest payment date determination provisions customary for floating rate notes that settle through DTC) and will be redeemable at the option of the Borrowers, in whole or in part at any time, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of redemption; provided that each holder of an Exchange Note will have the option to fix the interest rate on any Exchange Note held by it to a rate that is equal to the then applicable rate of interest borne by such Exchange Note (but in no event in excess of 11.0% per annum (exclusive of default interest, tax gross ups and amounts owing under the Registration Rights Agreement)), in which case such Exchange Note will have customary “high yield” style “non-call” protections such that it will be non-callable until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (subject to customary equity claw back provisions) and callable thereafter at par plus one half of the fixed rate coupon, declining ratably to par on the date that is one year prior to final maturity. The Exchange Notes will contain Change of Control prepayment offer provisions at 101% of the principal amount of outstanding.

(e) On each Exchange Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to each Lender exchanging Loans for Exchange Notes on such Exchange Date an opinion of counsel relating to due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability and choice of law and venue provisions in connection with the Exchange Notes, Exchange Notes Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinions delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01(e) hereof, which opinions shall also provide for customary “reliance language” in favor of the Trustee, in addition to any other opinions required under the Indenture.

SECTION 5.15 Steps Memorandum. The Loan Parties shall complete the actions set forth on the Steps Memorandum set forth on Schedule 6.14 attached hereto, in all material respects (other than name changes on Schedule 1 relating to entities not organized in the United States or Canada or a state, province or territory thereof), on the Closing Date.

(a) In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) MSSF is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent and (ii) UBSS is hereby appointed to act as Syndication Agent. Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or assignee and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to such Agent by the terms and provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with the performance of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Canadian Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received by the Administrative Agent. No Joint Lead Arranger, Lead Arranger or documentation agent shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or other instruments or agreements. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other party hereto on account of the failure, delay in performance or breach by, or as a result of information provided by, any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or any Borrower

or any other Loan Party of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. The Administrative Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

(d) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of Persons to transact business as agent in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that, in case of litigation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and, in particular, in case of the enforcement of any Loan Document, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction an Agent may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate administrative agent, administrative sub-agent, or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein, individually, as a “Supplemental Agent” and, collectively, as “Supplemental Agents”).

(f) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Canadian Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Agent.

SECTION 8.02 Nature of Duties. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Lenders further acknowledge and agree that so long as the Administrative Agent shall make any determination to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document in good faith, such Agent shall have no liability in respect of such determination to any person. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent.

(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent, as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Canadian Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the consent of the Canadian Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the Canadian Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of the Canadian Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York and, if requested by the Canadian Borrower, an office in Toronto, Canada (or a bank having an Affiliate with such an office) having a combined capital and surplus having a Dollar Equivalent that is not less than $500.0 million or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

(b) The Syndication Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers.

(c) After the resignation by the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be.

SECTION 8.04 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.05 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse each Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments hereunder (or if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of its applicable outstanding Loans)) of any reasonable expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by such Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, Taxes, 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 it in its capacity as Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken

or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

SECTION 8.06 Lack of Reliance on Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each of the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents shall not have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, indemnification and reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.05) shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest hereunder and the termination of the Commitments or this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the applicable Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) other than pursuant to a merger permitted by Section 6.03 or the Assumption, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the

prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the respective Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than Holdings and its Subsidiaries) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers; provided that no consent of the Lead Arrangers shall be required for an assignment of a Loan (a) to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, (b) from and after the occurrence of the Rollover Conversion on the Rollover Date, (c) to Affiliates of Holdings (it being understood that Affiliates of Holdings will not be entitled to participate in any Lenders’ meetings) or (d) during the primary syndication of the Commitments and/or Loans to institutions previously identified to the Canadian Borrower and the Lead Arrangers in writing (provided that the Administrative Agent has consented to such assignment); provided, further, that any liability of the Borrowers to an assignee that is an Approved Fund or Affiliate of the assigning Lender under Section 2.16 or 2.17 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable hereunder by such Borrower in the absence of such assignment.

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1.0 million, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that multiple contemporaneous assignments by Approved Funds may be aggregated for the purpose of compliance with the above;

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

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance including a duly executed Annex 2 thereof.

(ii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraphs (b)(i) and (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest

assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

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

(iv) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent acting for itself and, in any situation wherein the consent of the Canadian Borrower is not required, the Canadian Borrower shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arrangers, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Loan Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Loan Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.04(a)(i) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Loan Participant and (y) no other agreement (oral or written) with respect to such participation may exist between such Lender and such Loan Participant. Subject to paragraph

(c)(ii) of this Section, each of the Borrowers agree that each Loan Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Loan Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Loan Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Loan Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Loan Participant, except to the extent that the entitlement to any greater payment results from any Change in Law after the Person becomes a Loan Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Loan Participant is made with the Canadian Borrower’s prior written consent.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(a) The Canadian Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the administration of this Agreement and by the Initial Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Commitments (including expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date in connection with due diligence) or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the Transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, and Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, special Canadian counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel (including the reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel if a Lender elects to use internal counsel in lieu of outside counsel) for the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or all Lenders (but no more than one such counsel for all Lenders).

(b) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Lender and each of their respective affiliates, directors, trustees, officers, employees, advisors and agents (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to

hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of such Indemnitee (treating, for this purpose only, the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Lender and any of their respective Related Parties as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any Environmental Claim related in any way to Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any property owned, leased or operated by any predecessor of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action for which indemnification is sought hereunder with counsel of its choice at its expense (in which case any Borrower shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by an Indemnitee except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to each such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding a Borrower’s election to assume the defense of such action, each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action, and each Borrower shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by a Borrower to represent such Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both any Borrower and such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to a Borrower (in

which case such Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense or such action on behalf of such Indemnitee); (iii) either Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee to represent it within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) a Borrower shall authorize in writing such Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at such Borrower’s expense. The Borrowers will not be liable under this Agreement for any amount paid by an Indemnitee to settle any claims or actions if the settlement is entered into without such Borrower’s consent, which consent may not be withheld or delayed unless such settlement is unreasonable in light of such claims or actions against, and defenses available to, such Indemnitee.

(d) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.18, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes.

Section 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

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

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements as provided for therein; provided, however, that no such agreement shall

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender),

(iii) extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.19(c) in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date),

(vi) release Holdings, Intermediate Holdco or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from its Guarantee under this Agreement, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or substantially all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(vii) change the subordination provisions in Article X in a manner that adversely affects the right of any Lender in any material respect, or

(viii) change or impose any restriction on the ability of any Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations other than as provided for in Section 9.04;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the

Administrative Agent acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender. This Agreement and all other Loan Documents may be amended or modified without the consent or signature of the Loan Parties (other than the Borrowers) and, after giving effect to each such amendment and modification, all Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect except no such amendment, waiver or modification to Article XI of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party may be effective without the consent of such Loan Party.

(c) Prior to the Rollover Date, the Description of Senior Subordinated Exchange Notes and the Exchange Notes Indenture may be amended or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement may amend or modify any provision thereof which, had Exchange Notes been outstanding, would have required the consent or approval of each holder of Exchange Notes or each holder of Exchange Notes so affected, unless the written approval of each Lender or each Lender so affected, as applicable, is obtained. From and after the Rollover Date, the Exchange Notes Indenture may be waived, amended or modified only in accordance with its terms.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

Section 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and without limiting Sections 2.14(f)(ii) through (iv), if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

Section 9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth in such agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this

Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

Section 9.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

Section 9.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

(a) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such

action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Holdings or any Loan Party or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(c) Each Loan Party party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally appoints Skynet Satellite Holdings Corporation, with an office on the date hereof at 600 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10016, and its successors hereunder (the “Process Agent”), as its agent to receive on behalf of each such Loan Party and its property all writs, claims, process, and summonses in any action or proceeding brought against it in the State of New York. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the respective Loan Party in care of the Process Agent at the address specified above for the Process Agent, and such Loan Party irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. Failure by the Process Agent to give notice to the respective Loan Party, or failure of the respective Loan Party, to receive notice of such service of process shall not impair or affect the validity of such service on the Process Agent or any such Loan Party, or of any judgment based thereon. Each Loan Party party hereto covenants and agrees that it shall take any and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue the designation of the Process Agent above in full force and effect, and to cause the Process Agent to act as such. Each Loan Party hereto further covenants and agrees to maintain at all times an agent with offices in New York City to act as its Process Agent. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability to serve any such writs, process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Skynet Satellite Holdings Corporation consents to serve as such agent.

Section 9.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to Holdings and the other Loan Parties furnished to it by or on behalf of Holdings or the other Loan Parties (other than information that (a) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or (c) was available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent from a third party having, to such person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings or any other Loan Party) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), except: (A) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which

securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (B) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or as requested in connection with the exercise of its regulatory authority by, any Governmental Authorities or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (C) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (D) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (E) to any prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16) and (F) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Swap Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section).

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 9.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

Section 9.18 Release of Guarantees. In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of its assets (including Equity Interests of any Loan Party) to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by Section 6.03 and as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party would cease to be a Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the Borrowers and at the Canadian Borrower’s expense to terminate such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under its Guarantee. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such

Equity Interests, assets or subsidiary of Holdings shall no longer be deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or assets are so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

Section 9.19 Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act or PCTFA hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act or PCTFA, as applicable, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act or PCTFA, as applicable.

Section 9.20 Regulatory Matters. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that they will not take any action under any Loan Document which would cause the Canadian Borrower to breach the “Canadian ownership and control rules” established under Section 16 of the Telecommunications Act (Canada), as amended from time to time. The Canadian Borrower agrees to take any action which any Lender may reasonably request in order to obtain from the FCC, U.S. Department of Justice, Industry Canada, CRTC or any other relevant Governmental Authority such approval as may be necessary to enable the Lenders to exercise the full rights and benefits granted to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and the consent of the FCC, U.S. Department of Justice, Industry Canada, CRTC and of any other applicable Governmental Authority to the assignment or transfer of control of FCC Licenses, Industry Canada Authorizations, CRTC approvals or other governmental permits, licenses, or other authorizations, this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not constitute, create, or have the effect of constituting or creating directly or indirectly, actual or practical ownership of any FCC Licenses, Industry Canada Authorizations, CRTC approvals or other governmental permits, licenses or other authorizations by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent or control, affirmative or negative, direct or indirect, by Lenders or the Administrative Agent over the management or any other aspect of the operation of any FCC Licenses, Industry Canada Authorizations, CRTC approvals or other governmental permits, licenses, or other authorizations.

(a) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 2.18(e) are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, a maximum amount of the applicable withholding tax.

(b) If the Internal Revenue Service, Canada Revenue Agency or any authority of the United States of America, Canada or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or

because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

(c) If any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms of Sections 2.18(e) and this Section 9.22; provided that with respect to any Loan Participant, as set forth in Section 9.04(c), such Loan Participant shall only be required to comply with the requirements of Section 2.18(e) if such Loan Participant seeks to obtain the benefits of Section 2.18.

Section 9.23 Conversion of Covenants; Events of Default. The parties hereto agree that without notice to or the consent of any Lender, effective as of the Rollover Conversion on the Rollover Date, the affirmative covenants set forth in Article V (other than Sections 5.13 and 5.14, which shall continue to apply), the negative covenants set forth in Article VI and the Events of Default and remedies set forth Article VII shall be deemed to have been automatically replaced (without any further action necessary by the parties hereto) by (i) the affirmative and negative covenants described under “Certain Covenants” and the Asset Sale covenant described under “Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales” in the Description of Senior Subordinated Exchange Notes and (ii) the events of default and remedies described under “Events of Default and Remedies” in the Description of Senior Subordinated Exchange Notes, which replacement provisions, along with the relevant defined terms set forth under “Certain Definitions” in the Description of Senior Subordinated Exchange Notes used therein for the purposes thereof, will thereupon be deemed incorporated by reference herein, with references therein to the “Issuers” and the “Trustee” being deemed to be references to the “Borrowers” and the “Administrative Agent,” respectively, and with such other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the foregoing. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall, at the Administrative Agent’s request, enter into such amendments to the Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to effect the foregoing including adding Change of Control prepayment offer provisions at 101% of the principal amount of outstanding Rollover Loans. From and after the Rollover Conversion, each Lender will have the option to fix the rate of interest due on such Lenders Rollover Loans at the rate applicable at the time the fixed rate option is exercised.

Section 9.24 Obligations of the Borrowers Joint and Several. With respect to all Loans made hereunder, from and after the Assumption each of the Canadian Borrower and the U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledges that such Loans are made for the benefit of each of the Canadian Borrower and the U.S. Borrower and, in consideration thereof, agrees to be jointly and severally liable with each other for such Loans and the Obligations related thereto.

Section 10.01 Obligations Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Borrower, for itself and its successors, and each Lender, by its extending credit or making Loans hereunder, agrees that the payment of all Obligations owing to the Lenders hereunder is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article X, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of all Senior Obligations due in respect of Senior Indebtedness (including Senior Obligations with respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Senior Loans and Senior Exchange Notes, whether outstanding on the Closing Date or thereafter incurred. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article X to the contrary, payments and distributions of Permitted Junior Securities shall not be so subordinated in right of payment.

This Article X shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.

(a) If any default occurs and is continuing in the payment when due, whether at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise, of any principal of, interest on, unpaid drawings for letters of credit issued in respect of, or fees with respect to, any Senior Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”), then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Person on its or their behalf with respect to any Obligations or to acquire any of the Loans for cash or assets or otherwise.

(b) If any other event of default (other than a Payment Default) occurs and is continuing with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness (as such event of default is defined in the instrument creating or evidencing such Designated Senior Indebtedness) permitting the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness then outstanding to accelerate the maturity thereof (a “Non-payment Default”) and if the Senior Representative for the respective issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness gives notice of the Non-Payment Default to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a payment blockage notice (a “Payment Blockage Notice”), then during the period (the “Payment Blockage Period”) beginning upon the delivery of such Payment Blockage Notice and ending on the earlier of (1) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, (2) the date on which all such Non-Payment Defaults have been cured or waived or cease to exist and (3) the date on which the Administrative Agent receives notice thereof from the Senior Representative for the respective issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness terminating the Payment Blockage Period, neither any Borrower nor any other Person on its behalf shall (x) make any payment of any kind or character with respect to any Obligations or (y) acquire any of the Loans for cash or assets or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be a period of at least 181 consecutive days in each 360-day period when no Payment Blockage Notice is in effect. For

all purposes of this Section 10.02(b), no Non-Payment Default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Payment Blockage Period by the Senior Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such Non-Payment Default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. Any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants for a period ending after the date of delivery of such Payment Blockage Notice that, in either case, would give rise to a Non-Payment Default pursuant to any provisions under which a Non-Payment Default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new Non-Payment Default for this purpose.

(c) The foregoing Sections 10.02(a) and (b) shall not apply to payments and distributions of Permitted Junior Securities.

(d) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by any Lender when such payment is prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.02, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective Senior Representatives, as their respective interests may appear. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on information regarding amounts outstanding on the Senior Indebtedness, if any, received from the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their Senior Representatives).

Nothing contained in this Article X shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.01 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder; provided that all Senior Indebtedness thereafter due or declared to be due shall first be paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before the Lenders are entitled to receive any payment of any kind or character with respect to Obligations.

Section 10.03 Obligations Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior Indebtedness on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of any Borrower.

(a) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, assets or securities, to creditors upon any total or partial liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets and liabilities of such Borrower or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding relating to such Borrower or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all Senior Obligations due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution of any kind or character is made on account of any Obligations, or for the acquisition of any of the Loans for cash or assets or otherwise. Upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding, any payment or distribution of assets of such Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, assets or securities, to which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent would be entitled, except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by

such Borrower or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Lenders if received by them, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective Senior Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

(b) To the extent any payment of Senior Indebtedness (whether by or on behalf of the Borrowers, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person, the Senior Indebtedness or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.

It is further agreed that any diminution (whether pursuant to court decree or otherwise, including without limitation for any of the reasons described in the preceding sentence) of the Borrowers’ obligations to make any distribution or payment pursuant to any Senior Indebtedness, except to the extent such diminution occurs by reason of the repayment (which has not been disgorged or returned) of such Senior Indebtedness in cash or cash equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, shall have no force or effect for purposes of the subordination provisions contained in this Article X, with any turnover of payments as otherwise calculated pursuant to this Article X to be made as if no such diminution had occurred.

(c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of any Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, assets or securities, shall be received by any Lender when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Section 10.03, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective Senior Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

(d) The consolidation of any Borrower with, or the merger of any Borrower with or into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of any Borrower following the

conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, to another Person upon the terms and conditions provided in Section 6.03 and as long as permitted under the terms of the Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section if such other Person shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, assume such Borrower’s obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 6.03 hereof.

Section 10.04 Payments May Be Made Prior to Dissolution. Nothing contained in this Article X or elsewhere in the Loan Documents shall prevent any Borrower, except under the conditions described in Sections 10.02 and 10.03, from making payments at any time for the purpose of making payments of principal of and interest on the Obligations, or from depositing with the Administrative Agent any moneys for such payments.

Section 10.05 Holders To Be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness. Subject to the payment in full in cash or cash equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of holders of such Senior Indebtedness, of all Senior Indebtedness, the Lenders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, assets or securities of any Borrower applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the Loans shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by or on behalf of any Borrower, or by or on behalf of the Lenders by virtue of this Article X, which otherwise would have been made to the Lenders shall, as between the Borrowers and the Lenders, be deemed to be a payment by the Borrowers to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article X are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Lenders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

Section 10.06 Obligations of the Borrowers Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Article X or elsewhere in the Loan Documents is intended to or shall impair, as among any Borrower, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Lenders, the obligation of such Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Lenders the principal of and any interest on the Loans as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Lenders and creditors of such Borrower other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Lender or the Administrative Agent on its behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, in respect of cash, assets or securities of such Borrower received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Section 10.07 Administrative Agent’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness. The Administrative Agent and any agent of any Borrower or the of the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article X with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it in its individual or any other capacity to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in the Loan Documents shall deprive the Administrative Agent or any such other agent of any of its rights as such holder.

No implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into the Loan Documents against the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders or owners of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice may be given to their Senior Representative, if any.

Section 10.08 Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of any Borrower or Holders of Senior Indebtedness. No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by any Borrower with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent, without incurring responsibility to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article X or the obligations hereunder of the Lenders to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Borrower and any other Person.

Section 10.09 Administrative Agent’s Compensation Not Prejudiced. Nothing in this Article X will apply to amounts due to the Administrative Agent (other than payments of Obligations owing to Lenders in respect of Loans) pursuant to other sections of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the date of this Agreement, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

Section 10.11 Amendments. Notwithstanding Section 9.08, no amendment to this Article X or the definitions relating thereto that adversely affects in any material respect the rights of any holder of Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding (which Senior Indebtedness has been previously designated in writing by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for this purpose) may be made unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or any group or representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent in writing to such amendment.

Section 11.01 The Guarantee. Holdings, Intermediate Holdco (before and until the Assumption), U.S. Borrower (from and after the Assumption) and each Subsidiary Guarantor (it being understood that any entity signing this Agreement whose signature is shown to be effective only upon completion of the transactions described in the Steps Memorandum set forth in Schedule 6.14 shall not be a Subsidiary Guarantor until such completion) and Initial Canadian Borrower (from and after the Assumption, the “Guarantors”) hereby, jointly and severally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Title 11 of the United States Code or other applicable bankruptcy or insolvency legislation after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, the BIA, the CCAA, the WURA or other applicable bankruptcy or insolvency legislation) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the promissory notes held by each Lender of, the Borrowers and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Lenders or Administrative Agent by any Loan Party under any Loan Document, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrowers or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

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

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

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the promissory notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

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

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

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Borrower under this Agreement or the promissory notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against any Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Section 11.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article XI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or other Loan Party in respect of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

Section 11.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all applicable Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(A)(b) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.

Section 11.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of either Borrower under this Agreement, the promissory notes, if any, and any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article VII) for purposes of Section 11.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrowers) shall forthwith become due and payable by the applicable Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01.

Section 11.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article XI constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

Section 11.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article XI is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all applicable Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 11.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 11.09 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons, none of which is Holdings, Intermediate Holdco, Borrowers or a Subsidiary, such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 9.05 hereof).

Section 11.10 Subordination of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee pursuant to this Article XI shall be junior and subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor on the same basis as the Loans are junior and subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Borrowers. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the Obligations pursuant to this Agreement, including Article X hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first written above.
