      giving effect to the reduction thereto pursuant to this Section 4.02(a).
      Each reduction to (x) the Total Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan
      Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) shall apply to proportionately
      and permanently reduce the Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan

      U.S. Borrower Dual Currency Facility RL Lender (based on their respective
      U.S. Borrower Dual Currency Facility RL Percentages).

      Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, the U.S. Borrower Dual Currency
      Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, and/or the Dollar Facility
      Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, of such Lender, so long as (x) all
      Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other
      amounts, owing to such Lender (excluding amounts owing in respect of Loans
      of any Tranche maintained by such Lender which are not being repaid
      pursuant to Section 13.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the
      effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule I shall be
      deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and (y) after giving
      effect to such termination (and the adjustments to the Multicurrency
      Facility RL Percentages, U.S. Borrower Dual Currency Facility RL
      Percentages, Dollar Facility RL Percentages and/or related L/C
      Participation Percentages of the remaining Lenders as contemplated below),
      none of the Individual Multicurrency Facility RL Exposure, the Individual
      U.S. Borrower Dual Currency Facility RL Exposure or the Individual Dollar
      Facility RL Exposure of any remaining Lender shall exceed its
      Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, U.S. Borrower Dual
      Currency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment or Dollar Facility Revolving
      Loan Commitment, as the case may be. After giving effect to the
      termination of the Commitments of any Lender pursuant to the provisions of
      this Section 4.02(b), unless the respective Lender continues to have
      outstanding Term Loans or other Commitments (if any) hereunder, such
      Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender" for purposes of this
      Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement
      (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 13.01 and
      13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. In cases where the
      Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, the U.S. Borrower Dual
      Currency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Dollar Facility
      Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender is terminated pursuant to this
      Section 4.02(b), except in cases where the respective Commitments are
      replaced in full, after giving effect to the termination of any such
      Commitments of a given Lender pursuant to this Section 4.02(b), there
      shall occur automatic adjustments (as determined by the Administrative
      Agent) in the Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages, the U.S. Borrower
      Dual Currency Facility RL Percentages and/or Dollar Facility RL
      Percentages, as the case may be (and as a result thereof in the related
      L/C Participation Percentages) of the remaining Multicurrency Facility RL
      Lenders, U.S. Borrower Dual Currency Facility RL Lenders and/or Dollar
      Facility RL Lenders, as the case may be, after giving effect to the
      modifications to the Multicurrency Facility RL Percentages, U.S. Borrower
      Dual Currency Facility RL Percentages and Dollar Facility RL Percentages
      of the various remaining Lenders as a result of the termination of the
      Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment, the U.S. Borrower Dual
      Currency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Dollar Facility
      Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be, of the respective Replaced
      Lender.

      Unutilized Revolving Loan




      Commitment and/or the Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment
      and/or the U.S. Borrower Dual Currency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment
      and/or the Dollar Facility Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender
      pursuant to this Section 4.02 and Section 4.03, as the case may be, each
      of the U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably
      authorizes Holdings to take all necessary action, in the name of the U.S.
      Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, as described in

      termination of the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the
      Multicurrency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the U.S. Borrower
      Dual Currency Facility Revolving Loan Commitment and/or the Dollar
      Facility Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the
