time the amount of such Agent Advance (A) in the case of Agent Advances made to the Canadian Borrowers, (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Canadian Borrowers at such time, would exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the Total Canadian RCF Commitments as then in effect and (ii) the difference of (1) the sum of (a) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time plus (b) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (in each case, based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) minus (2) the sum of (a) the aggregate unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the Canadian Borrowers, (b) the aggregate unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the U.S. Borrowers and (c) the aggregate unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, Canadian Finco or (II) when added to the Aggregate Canadian RCF Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total Canadian RCF Loan Commitment at such time, or (B) in the case of Agent Advances made to the U.S. Borrowers, (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the U.S. Borrowers at such time, would exceed 5% of the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (II) when added to the Aggregate U.S. RCF Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), (1) would exceed the Total U.S. RCF Commitment at such time or (2) when added to the Aggregate Canadian RCF Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to such Agent Advance) would exceed the sum of (a) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time plus (b) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (in each case, based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered). It is understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set forth above, Agent Advances may be made by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent in their respective discretion to the extent the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent deems such Agent Advances necessary or desirable (x) to preserve and protect the applicable Collateral, or any portion thereof, (y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (z) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, and that the Borrowers shall have no right to require that any Agent Advances be made.
     (e) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the U.S. Administrative Agent by any RCF Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to subsection 11.6(b), in order to evidence such Lender’s RCF Loans to such Borrower, such Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3, with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount (each, as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, a “RCF Note”), payable to such Lender and in a principal amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all RCF Loans made by such RCF Lender to such Borrower. Each RCF Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date (or in the case of an RCF Note issued in connection with RCF Commitments (and related RCF Loans) acquired by assignment pursuant to such subsection 11.6(b), the date of such assignment), (ii) be stated to mature on the RCF Maturity Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with subsection 4.1.
     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Canadian Borrowers shall not be jointly or jointly and

61


 

severally liable with (A) the U.S. Borrowers or (B) Canadian Finco for any liabilities or obligations of (A) the U.S. Borrowers or (B) Canadian Finco hereunder and (ii) the U.S. Borrowers shall not be jointly or jointly and severally liable with the Canadian Borrowers for any liabilities or obligations of the Canadian Borrowers hereunder (although it is acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the U.S. Borrowers shall provide a guarantee in respect of the obligations of the Canadian Borrowers pursuant to the U.S. Guaranty and Collateral Agreement).
     2.3 Procedure for Borrowings. Whenever the Borrowers borrow Loans under this Agreement, the applicable Borrower shall give the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the U.S. Administrative Agent prior to (a) 12:30 P.M., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Loans are to be initially Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans or (b) 11:00 a.m., New York City time (1) at least one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date for Term Loans maintained as ABR Loans and (2) on the requested Borrowing Date, for any other ABR Loans) specifying (i) the identity of the Borrower or Borrowers, (ii) the amount to be borrowed, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iv) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, (v) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor and (vi) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, the length of the term thereof in accordance with subsection 4.6(c). Each borrowing shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, except any ABR Loan to be used solely to pay a like amount of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or Swing Line Loans, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if the Commitments then available (as calculated in accordance with subsections 2.1(a) and (b)) are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the principal amount thereof (or in the case of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount thereof) equal to $5,000,000 (or, in the case of Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers, Cdn$5,000,000) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of Loans made to the Canadian Borrowers, Cdn$ 1,000,000) in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from a Borrower, the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 6 (and subject to compliance with Section 4.6(c) in the case of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans), each applicable Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing of Loans available to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the account of the Borrower or Borrowers identified in such notice at the office of the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, specified in subsection 11.2 prior to 12:30 P.M. (or 11:00 A.M., in the case of the initial borrowing hereunder), New York City time, or at such other office of the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, or at such other time as to which the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall notify such Borrower or Borrowers reasonably in advance of the Borrowing Date with respect thereto, on the Borrowing Date requested by such Borrower or Borrowers in Dollars or Canadian Dollars and in funds immediately available to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable. In relation to Banker’s Acceptance Loans, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall credit to the applicable

62


 

Canadian Borrower’s account on the applicable Borrowing Date the BA Proceeds less the applicable BA Fee with respect to each B/A Instrument purchased by a Lender on that Borrowing Date. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower or Borrowers identified in such notice by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, crediting the account of such Borrower or Borrowers on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, by the applicable Lenders and in like funds as received by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable.
     2.4 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and each other Borrower) shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the U.S. Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), to terminate (x) the U.S. RCF Commitments, Canadian RCF Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the U.S. RCF Commitments or Canadian RCF Commitments; provided that any such notice of termination delivered by the Parent Borrower in connection with a repayment of all outstanding Obligations may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Parent Borrower (by written notice to the U.S. Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied; provided further that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the RCF Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the RCF Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding (including in the case of RCF Loans then outstanding in any Canadian Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount thereof), when added to the sum of the then outstanding L/C Obligations, would exceed the RCF Commitments then in effect and/or (y) any Incremental Term Loan Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the applicable Commitments then in effect.
     2.5 Swing Line Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make swing line loans (individually, a “Swing Line Loan”; collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”) to any of the U.S. Borrowers from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $25,000,000, provided that at no time may the sum of the then outstanding Swing Line Loans, U.S. RCF Loans and L/C Obligations exceed the lesser of (1) the U.S. RCF Commitments then in effect and (2) the difference of (I) the U.S. Borrowing Base then in effect (based on the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate) minus (II) the sum of (A) the excess of the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit made to or for the account of, the Canadian Borrowers over the Canadian Borrowing Base (based on the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate), (B) the aggregate unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the U.S. Borrowers pursuant to the Canadian RC Facility (it being understood and agreed that the U.S. Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding Canadian RCF Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars on the date the notice of borrowing of Swing Line Loans is given for purposes of determining compliance with this subsection) and (C) the aggregate unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the benefit of, Canadian Finco. Amounts borrowed by any U.S. Borrower under this subsection 2.5 may be repaid and, to but excluding the RCF Maturity Date, reborrowed. All Swing Line Loans made to any U.S.

63


 

Borrower shall be made in Dollars as ABR Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurocurrency Loans. The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself or any other Borrower as the case may be) shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date specifying (1) the identity of the Borrower and (2) the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan. The proceeds of the Swing Line Loans will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower identified in such notice at an office of the Swing Line Lender by crediting the account of such Borrower at such office with such proceeds in Dollars.
     (b) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the U.S. Administrative Agent by the Swing Line Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to subsection 11.6(b), in order to evidence the Swing Line Loans to such Borrower, such Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-4, with appropriate insertions (as the same may be amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swing Line Note”), payable to the Swing Line Lender and representing the obligation of such Borrower to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to such Borrower, with interest thereon as prescribed in subsection 4.1. The Swing Line Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the RCF Maturity Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with subsection 4.1.
     (c) The Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, and, at any time as there shall be a Swing Line Loan outstanding for more than seven Business Days or when an Event of Default under subsection 9(f) has occurred, the Swing Line Lender shall, on behalf of the U.S. Borrower to which the Swing Line Loan has been made (which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes such Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), request (provided that such request shall be deemed to have been automatically made upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 9(f)) each U.S. RCF Lender, including the Swing Line Lender to make a U.S. RCF Loan as an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such U.S. RCF Lender’s U.S. RCF Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans made in Dollars (each, a “Mandatory RCF Loan Borrowing”) in an amount equal to such U.S. RCF Lender’s U.S. RCF Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all of the Swing Line Loans (collectively, the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that the provisions of this subsection shall not affect the obligations of any U.S. Borrower to prepay Swing Line Loans in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4.4(d). Unless the U.S. RCF Commitments shall have expired or terminated (in which event the procedures of paragraph (d) of this subsection 2.4 shall apply), each U.S. RCF Lender hereby agrees to make the proceeds of its U.S. RCF Loan (including any Eurocurrency Loan) available to the U.S. Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the U.S. Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory RCF Loan Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for RCF Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in subsection 6.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory RCF Loan Borrowing and (v) the amount of the U.S. RCF Commitment of such, or any other, U.S. RCF Lender at such time. The proceeds of such U.S. RCF Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.

64


 

     (d) If the U.S. RCF Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swing Line Loans are outstanding, each U.S. RCF Lender shall, at the option of the Swing Line Lender, exercised reasonably, either (i) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the U.S. RCF Commitments, make a U.S. RCF Loan as an ABR Loan (which U.S. RCF Loan shall be deemed a “U.S. RCF Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swing Line Loans, in either case in an amount equal to such U.S. RCF Lender’s U.S. RCF Commitment Percentage (determined on the date of, and immediately prior to, expiration or termination of the U.S. RCF Commitments) of the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loans; provided, that in the event that any Mandatory RCF Loan Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership, administration or liquidation or similar law with respect to any Borrower), then each U.S. RCF Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory RCF Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from such Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swing Line Lender such participations in such outstanding Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such U.S. RCF Lenders to share in such Swing Line Loans ratably based upon their respective U.S. RCF Commitment Percentages, provided, further, that (x) all interest payable on the Swing Line Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Line Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing U.S. RCF Lender shall be required to pay the Swing Line Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory RCF Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate otherwise applicable to U.S. RCF Loans made as ABR Loans. Each U.S. RCF Lender will make the proceeds of any U.S. RCF Loan made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence available to the U.S. Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the U.S. Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which the U.S. RCF Commitments expire or terminate, in Dollars. The proceeds of such U.S. RCF Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date of termination or expiration of the U.S. RCF Commitments. In the event that the U.S. RCF Lenders purchase undivided participating interests pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (d), each U.S. RCF Lender shall immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds and in the currency in which such Swing Line Loans were made, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender will deliver to such U.S. RCF Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
     (e) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any U.S. RCF Lender such U.S. RCF Lender’s participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from the Parent Borrower or any other Borrower in respect of such Swing Line Loan or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Swing Line Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such U.S. RCF Lender its pro rata share thereof

65


 

prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise, the Swing Line Lender will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. RCF Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such U.S. RCF Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it.
     (f) Each U.S. RCF Lender’s obligation to make the U.S. RCF Loans and to purchase participating interests with respect to Swing Line Loans in accordance with subsections 2.5(c) and 2.5(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such U.S. RCF Lender or any of the Borrowers may have against the Swing Line Lender, any of the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in condition (financial or otherwise) of any of the Borrowers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other U.S. RCF Lender; (v) any inability of any of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such U.S. RCF Loan is to be made or participating interest is to be purchased or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
     2.6 Repayment of Loans. (a) (1) Each U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the U.S. Administrative Agent (in the currency in which such Loan is denominated) for the account of: (i) each Term Loan Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower, on the Term Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9); (ii) each U.S. RCF Lender or each Canadian RCF Lender, as applicable, the then unpaid principal amount of each RCF Loan of such Lender made to such U.S. Borrower, on the RCF Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the RCF Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9); and (iii) the Swing Line Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to such U.S. Borrower, on the RCF Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Swing Line Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9). Each U.S. Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest (which payments shall be in the same currency in which the respective Loan referred to above is denominated) on the unpaid principal amount of such Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 4.1.
     (2) For the avoidance of doubt it is acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto, that RSC, as co-obligor of any Loan made to another U.S. Borrower, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the U.S. Administrative Agent (in the currency in which such Loan is denominated) any amount required to be paid by such U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(1) or any other provision to this Agreement. Any reference to a Loan being made to a U.S. Borrower shall be treated as also having been made to RSC as co-obligor.
     (b) Each Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent (in Canadian Dollars) for the account of each Canadian RCF

66


 

Lender, the then unpaid principal or face amount, as the case may be, of each Canadian RCF Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower, on the RCF Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Canadian RCF Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9). Each Canadian Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest (which payments shall be in the same currency in which the respective Loan referred to above is denominated) on the unpaid principal amount of such Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 4.1.
     (c) From and after the date Canadian Finco executes a Borrower Joinder Agreement, Canadian Finco unconditionally promises to pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent (in Dollars), for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender made to Canadian Finco, on the respective Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9). From and after the date Canadian Finco executes a Borrower Joinder Agreement, Canadian Finco further agrees to pay interest (in Dollars) on the unpaid principal amount of such Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 4.1.
     (d) Each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
     (e) The U.S. Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof, the Borrowers to which such Loan is made, each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto and whether such Loans are Term Loans, U.S. RCF Loans, Canadian RCF Loans or Swing Line Loans, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each of the Borrowers to each applicable Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder from each of the Borrowers and each applicable Lender’s share thereof.
     (f) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 2.6(e) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the U.S. Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     2.7 Incremental Commitments. (a) So long as the Syndication Date has occurred and no Default or Event of Default exists or would arise therefrom, (i) the Canadian Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to request an increase of the aggregate of the then outstanding Canadian RCF Commitments by an amount not to exceed in the aggregate (A) $200,000,000 minus (B) the amount of any increases

67


 

in the RCF Commitments and any Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided to the U.S. Borrowers and/or Canadian Finco pursuant to this subsection 2.7 after the Closing Date, (ii) the U.S. Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to request (x) an increase of the aggregate of the then outstanding U.S. RCF Commitments by an amount not to exceed in the aggregate (A) $200,000,000 minus (B) the amount of any increases in the RCF Commitments and any Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided to the U.S. Borrowers and/or Canadian Finco made pursuant to this subsection 2.7 after the Closing Date and (y) the Lenders to provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to the U.S. Borrowers in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate (A) $200,000,000 minus (B) the amount of any increases in the RCF Commitments and any Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided pursuant to this subsection 2.7 after the Closing Date and (iii) Canadian Finco shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the date on which Canadian Finco executes and delivers a Borrower Joinder Agreement, to request the Lenders to provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to Canadian Finco in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate the lesser of (I) $75,000,000 and (II) (A) $200,000,000 minus (B) the amount of any increases in the RCF Commitments and any Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided to the U.S. Borrowers and/or Canadian Finco pursuant to this subsection 2.7 after the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate increase of all RCF Commitments and all Incremental Term Loan Commitments obtained by the Borrowers under this subsection 2.7 shall not exceed $200,000,000. Any such requested increase shall be first made to all applicable existing Lenders on a pro rata basis. To the extent that such existing Lenders decline to increase their Commitments or to provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments, or decline to increase their Commitments or to provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to the amount requested by the respective Borrower or Borrowers, the U.S. Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, will use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for other Persons to become Canadian RCF Lenders or U.S. RCF Lenders, or to provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, hereunder and to issue commitments in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in the Total Canadian RCF Commitment requested by the Canadian Borrowers or the Total U.S. RCF Commitment or the Incremental Term Loan Commitments requested by the U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Finco, as the case may be, and not accepted by the existing Lenders (each such increase by either means, a “Commitment Increase,” and each Person issuing, or Lender increasing, its Commitment, an “Additional Commitment Lender”), provided, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide a Commitment Increase as a result of any such request by any Borrower and (ii) any Additional Commitment Lender which is not an existing Lender shall be subject to the approval of, (X) in the case of the U.S. RC Facility, the U.S. Administrative Agent, the U.S. RCF Issuing Lender and the U.S. Borrowers, (Y) in the case of the Canadian RC Facility, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian RCF Issuing Lender and the Canadian Borrowers (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and (Z) in the case of any such Additional Commitment Lender providing an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower and (iii) each Additional Commitment Lender which is a Canadian RCF Lender shall be in compliance with the provisions of subsection 4.15. Each Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $25,000,000 and in integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess thereof.
          (b) No Commitment Increase shall become effective unless and until each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

68


 

     (i) the applicable Borrowers, the U.S. Administrative Agent, and any Additional Commitment Lender shall have executed and delivered an incremental commitment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (“Incremental Commitment Agreement”) pursuant to which the respective additional Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be provided;
     (ii) the applicable Borrowers shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Commitment Lenders and to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, as the applicable Borrowers and such Additional Commitment Lenders shall agree;
     (iii) the applicable Borrowers, if requested by the respective Administrative Agent, shall deliver to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the Lenders an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, from counsel to the applicable Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and dated such date;
     (iv) an RCF Note or Incremental Term Loan Note, as applicable (to the extent requested), will be issued at the applicable Borrowers’ expense, to each such Additional Commitment Lender, to be in conformity with requirements of subsection 2.1(d) or 2.2(e), as the case may be (with appropriate modification), to the extent necessary to reflect the new Commitment of each Additional Commitment Lender; and
     (v) the applicable Borrowers and Additional Commitment Lender shall have delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, may reasonably have requested in order to effectuate the documentation of the foregoing.
          (c) The U.S. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Commitment Increase (with each date of such effectiveness being referred to herein as a “Commitment Increase Date”), and at such time (i) the Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Commitment Increases, (ii) Schedule A shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised U.S. RCF Commitments and U.S. RCF Commitment Percentages of the U.S. RCF Lenders or Canadian RCF Commitments and Canadian RCF Commitment Percentages of the Canadian RCF Lenders and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed amended, without further action, to the extent necessary to reflect such increased Commitments.
          (d) All Incremental Term Loans incurred by the U.S. Borrowers shall constitute part of, and be added to, the Tranche of Initial Term Loans and shall:
     (i) have the same Maturity Date and the same Weighted Average Life to Maturity as the Tranche of Initial Term Loans, and shall bear interest at the same rates (i.e., have the same Applicable Margins) applicable to the Initial Term Loans, and

     (ii) have the same scheduled repayment dates as then remain with respect to the Initial Term Loans (with the amount of each scheduled repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the Initial Term Loans, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining scheduled repayment.
          (e) All Incremental Term Loans incurred by Canadian Finco shall constitute a new Tranche of Term Loans, provided that all such Incremental Term Loans shall:
     (i) except as may be agreed to by the respective Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably), have the same Maturity Date and the same Weighted Average Life to Maturity as the Tranche of Initial Term Loans, shall bear interest at the same rates (i.e., have the same Applicable Margins) applicable to the Initial Term Loans, and shall have the same scheduled repayment dates as then remain with respect to the Initial Term Loans, and
     (ii) shall not be subject to the mandatory prepayment provisions contained in subsection 4.4(b).
          (f) In connection with each incurrence of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1(c) that will be added to (and from a part of) the Initial Term Loans, the Lenders and the Borrowers hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all Lenders with outstanding Initial Term Loans continue to participate in each Borrowing of outstanding Initial Term Loans (after giving effect to the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1(c)) on a pro rata basis, including by adding the Incremental Term Loans to be so incurred to the then outstanding Borrowings of Initial Term Loans on pro rata basis even though as a result thereof such new Incremental Term Loan (to the extent required to be maintained as Eurocurrency Loans), may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the outstanding Borrowings of Initial Term Loans and it is hereby agreed that (x) to the extent any the outstanding Borrowings of Initial Term Loans that are maintained as Eurocurrency Loans are affected as a result thereof, any costs of the type described in subsection 4.12 incurred by such Lenders in connection therewith shall be for the account of the applicable Borrowers or (y) to the extent the Incremental Term Loans to be so incurred are added to the then outstanding Borrowings of Initial Term Loans which are maintained as Eurocurrency Loans, the Lenders that have made such additional Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to receive an effective interest rate on such additional Incremental Term Loans as is equal to the Eurocurrency Rate as in effect two Business Days prior to the incurrence of such additional Incremental Term Loans plus the then Applicable Margin for Initial Term Loans until the end of the respective Interest Period or Interest Periods with respect thereto.
          (g) In connection with the Commitment Increases hereunder, the Lenders and the Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the applicable Borrowers shall, in coordination with the U.S. Administrative Agent, (x) repay applicable outstanding RCF Loans of certain Lenders, and obtain applicable RCF Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Additional Commitment Lenders), or (y) take such other

70


 

actions as reasonably may be required by the U.S. Administrative Agent, in each case to the extent necessary so that the Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding U.S. RCF or Canadian RCF Loans, as applicable, pro rata on the basis of their U.S. RCF Commitment Percentages or Canadian RCF Commitment Percentages, as applicable (determined after giving effect to any increase in the RCF Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.7), and (ii) the applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders any costs of the type referred to in subsection 4.12 in connection with any repayment and/or RCF Loans required pursuant to preceding clause (i). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this subsection 2.7, the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use their best efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in subsection 4.12 which the Borrowers would otherwise occur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the U.S. RCF Commitments or the Canadian RCF Commitments.
          (h) Each Lender hereby covenants and agrees to enter into any technical amendments necessary in connection with the provision of Commitment Increases hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 2.7 and the respective Incremental Commitment Agreement, provided that such amendment shall be strictly limited to the provisions necessary to incorporate the appropriate provisions for such Commitment Increase.
          Section 3. Letters of Credit.
          3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other RCF Lenders set forth in subsection 3.4(a), agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (other than Canadian Finco) on any Business Day during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the 30th day prior to the RCF Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the respective Issuing Lender; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) (A) aggregate Canadian RCF L/C Obligations shall exceed $15,000,000 or (B) the aggregate Extensions of Credit to the U.S. Borrowers, the Canadian Borrowers or any Borrower would exceed the applicable limitations set forth in subsection 2.2 or 2.5 (it being understood and agreed that the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding RCF Loans in Canadian Dollars on the date on which the applicable Borrower has requested that the applicable Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit for purposes of determining compliance with this clause (i)), (ii) the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit would exceed $400,000,000 or (iii) the Aggregate Outstanding RCF Credit of all the RCF Lenders would exceed the RCF Commitments of all the RCF Lenders then in effect. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as requested by the applicable Borrower, and shall be either (A) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Canadian Finco), contingent or otherwise, which finance or otherwise arise in connection with the working capital and business needs of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (a “Standby Letter of Credit”), or (B) a commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or services by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Canadian Finco) in the ordinary course of business (a “Documentary L/C”), and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, expire no later than the earlier of (I) (A) one year after its date of issuance and (B) the 10th day prior to the RCF Maturity Date, in the

71


 

case of Standby Letters of Credit (subject, if requested by the applicable Borrower and agreed to by the Issuing Lender, to auto-renewals for successive periods not exceeding one year and ending prior to the 10th day prior to the RCF Maturity Date), or (II) (A) 180 days after its date of issuance and (B) the 30th day prior to the RCF Maturity Date, in the case of Documentary L/Cs. Each Letter of Credit issued by the U.S. RCF Issuing Lender shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the U.S. RCF Commitments and each Letter of Credit issued by the Canadian RCF Issuing Lender shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the Canadian RCF Commitments, and shall be participated in (as more fully described in following subsection 3.4) by the U.S. RCF Lenders or the Canadian RCF Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with their respective U.S. RCF Commitment Percentages or Canadian RCF Commitment Percentages, as applicable. All Letters of Credit issued under the U.S. RC Facility shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued for the account of the applicable U.S. Borrower. All Letters of Credit issued under the Canadian RC Facility shall be denominated in Canadian Dollars requested by the applicable Borrower and shall be issued for the account of the applicable Borrower.
          (b) Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower, each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. All Letters of Credit shall be issued payable on a sight basis only.
          (c) No Issuing Lender shall at any time issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3, no Issuing Lender shall at any time issue any Letter of Credit for the account of Canadian Finco.
          3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) The applicable U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower may from time to time request during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the 30th day prior to the RCF Maturity Date that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender and the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, at their respective addresses for notices specified herein, an L/C Request therefor substantially in the form Exhibit D hereto (completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Each L/C Request shall specify that the requested Letter of Credit is to be denominated in Dollars or, in the case of Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Dollars. Upon receipt of any L/C Request, such Issuing Lender will process such L/C Request and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall an Issuing Lender be required, unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the L/C Request therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the applicable U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower. The applicable Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the applicable U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower promptly following

72


 

the issuance thereof. Promptly after the issuance or amendment of any Standby Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the applicable U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower and the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender, the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall provide to such Lender copies of such issuance or amendment. With regards to Documentary L/Cs, the Issuing Lender shall on the first Business Day of each week provide the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, by facsimile, with a report detailing the aggregate daily outstanding Documentary L/Cs during the previous week.
          (b) The making of each request for a Letter of Credit by any U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, subsection 3.1. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate subsection 3.1, then such Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices.
          3.3 Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) Each U.S. Borrower and Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender on its behalf, computed for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurocurrency Loans that are RCF Loans calculated on the basis of a 360 day year of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit during such period, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the RCF Maturity Date or such earlier date as the RCF Commitments shall terminate as provided herein. Such commission shall be payable to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the account of the applicable RCF Lenders to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective U.S. RCF Commitment Percentages or Canadian RCF Commitment Percentages. Each U.S. Borrower and Canadian Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender a fee equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum (but in no event less than $500 per annum for each Letter of Credit issued on its behalf) of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the RCF Maturity Date or such other date as the RCF Commitments shall terminate. Such commissions and fees shall be nonrefundable. Such fees and commissions shall be payable in Dollars (or, in the case of Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Dollars).
          (b) In addition to the foregoing commissions and fees, each U.S. Borrower and Canadian Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for such

73


 

normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender on its behalf.
          (c) The U.S. Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall, promptly following any receipt thereof, distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender and the applicable L/C Participants all commissions and fees received by such Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this subsection 3.3.
          3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each U.S. RCF L/C Participant or Canadian RCF L/C Participant, as applicable, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the applicable Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s U.S. RCF Commitment Percentage or Canadian RCF Commitment Percentage, as applicable, (determined on the date of issuance of the relevant Letter of Credit) in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued or continued hereunder, the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder and the obligations of the applicable Borrowers under this Agreement with respect thereto (although L/C Fees and related commissions shall be payable directly to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender and L/C Participants, as provided in subsection 3.3 and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any facing fees with respect to any such Letters of Credit) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with such Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the applicable Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit in accordance with subsection 3.5(a), such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s U.S. RCF Commitment Percentage or Canadian RCF Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall relieve such Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction) of such Issuing Lender, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that any L/C Participant may have as a result of such gross negligence or willful misconduct (as so determined). All calculations of an L/C Participant’s U.S. RCF Commitment Percentage and Canadian RCF Commitment Percentage shall be made from time to time by the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent, respectively, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
          (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender on demand by such Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such demand is made, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of such amount, times the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, in the case of a Canadian RCF Lender, the interbank rate customarily charged by the Canadian Administrative Agent)

74


 

during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) is not in fact made available to such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon (with interest based on the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars) calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to RCF Loans maintained as ABR Loans accruing interest at the ABR hereunder. A certificate of an Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection (which shall include calculations of any such amounts in reasonable detail) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
          (c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from a Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise such Issuing Lender will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by an Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.
          3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. (a) Each U.S. Borrower and Canadian Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, upon receipt by such Borrower of notice from the applicable Issuing Lender of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued on its behalf and paid by such Issuing Lender, for the amount of such draft so paid and any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the applicable Issuing Lender, at its address for notices specified herein in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated and in immediately available funds, on the date on which such Borrower receives such notice, if received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day and otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day.
          (b) Interest shall be payable under this subsection 3.5(b) on any and all amounts owing pursuant to subsection 3.5(a) remaining unpaid (taking the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, as determined by the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable) by the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrowers, as applicable (i) from the date the draft presented under the affected Letter of Credit is paid to the date on which such applicable Borrower is required to reimburse such amounts pursuant to paragraph (a) above, at the rate which would then be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are RCF Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full of such amounts, at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are RCF Loans which were then overdue.

75


 

          3.6 Obligations Absolute. (a) Each of the U.S. Borrowers’ and the Canadian Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any such Borrower may have or have had against an Issuing Lender, any L/C Participant or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, provided that this paragraph shall not relieve any Issuing Lender or L/C Participant of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction), or otherwise affect any defense or other right that any such Borrower may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct (as so determined).
          (b) Each U.S. Borrower and Canadian Borrower and each Lender also agree with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 3.5(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, provided that this paragraph shall not relieve any Issuing Lender or L/C Participant of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction), or otherwise affect any defense or other right that any Borrower may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct (as so determined).
          (c) Neither any Issuing Lender nor any L/C Participant shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction).
          (d) Each U.S. Borrower and Canadian Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction) and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on each such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Lender or L/C Participant to any Borrower.
          3.7 L/C Payments. If any drafts or document(s) shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the applicable U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of an Issuing Lender to such Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit in connection with any drafts or document(s) presented for payment under such Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit,

76


 

provided that this paragraph shall not relieve such Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that any Borrower may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct (in each case, as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction).
          3.8 L/C Request. To the extent that any provision of any L/C Request related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall control.
          3.9 Additional Issuing Lenders. Any U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and such Lender, designate one or more additional Canadian Lenders or U.S. RCF Lenders, as applicable, to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to this subsection 3.9 shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders and such Lender.
          Section 4. General Provisions Applicable to Loans and Letters of Credit.
          4.1 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. BA Fees payable in respect of each B/A Instrument shall be paid by the Canadian Borrowers at the time of the incurrence (by way of acceptance, purchase or otherwise) of each Bankers’ Acceptance Loan.
          (b) Each ABR Loan (other than a Canadian RCF Loan made to a Canadian Borrower) shall bear interest for each day that it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the ABR for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day and each ABR Loan that is a Canadian RCF Loan made to a Canadian Borrower shall bear interest for each day that it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.
          (c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee, letter of credit commission, letter of credit fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of subsections 4.1(a) and (b) plus 2.00%, (y) in the case of overdue interest, the rate that would be otherwise applicable to principal of the related Loan pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of subsections 4.1(a) and (b) plus 2.00% and (z) in the case of fees, commissions or other amounts, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this subsection for ABR Loans that are U.S. RCF Loans (or, in the case of any such fees, commissions or other amounts owing by the Canadian Borrowers, the rate described in

77


 

paragraph (b) of this subsection for ABR Loans that are Canadian RCF Loans) plus 2.00%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
          (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection shall be payable from time to time on demand.
          (e) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws.
          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, solely to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that the calculation or determination of interest or any fee payable by the Canadian Borrowers in respect of their obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by the laws of any province of Canada or the federal laws of Canada:
     (i) if any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrowers to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any of the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by any of the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such 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 so result in a receipt by the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender under this subsection 4.1, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that Section of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Canadian Borrowers shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the applicable U.S. Administrative Agent, Canadian Administrative Agent or Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such party in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such

78


 

reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the applicable U.S. Administrative Agent, Canadian Administrative Agent or Lender to the Canadian Borrowers. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this subsection 4.1(f)(i) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination; and
     (ii) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and with respect to Canadian Loan Parties only:
     (A) whenever any interest or fee payable by the Canadian Borrowers is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be; and
     (B) all calculations of interest payable by the Canadian Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document are to be made on the basis of the nominal interest rate described herein and therein and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis which gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest which principle does not apply to any interest calculated under this Agreement or any Loan Document. The parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material difference between the stated nominal interest rates and the effective yearly rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine such effective yearly rates of interest.
          4.2 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Subject to subsection 4.2(c), the applicable Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert outstanding (i) Term Loans from Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans, (ii) RCF Loans made or outstanding in Dollars from Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans and (iii) RCF Loans made or outstanding in Canadian Dollars from Bankers’ Acceptance Loans to ABR Loans, in each case by giving the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto and any conversion of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans may only be made on the maturity date thereof and otherwise in accordance with subsection 4.6(c). The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert outstanding (i) Term Loans from ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) RCF Loans made or outstanding in Dollars from ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in Dollars and, in each case by giving the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in Dollars shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any

79


 

such notice the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurocurrency Loans made or outstanding in Dollars and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan or Bankers’ Acceptance Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default, the U.S. Administrative Agent has given notice to the applicable Borrower that no such conversions may be made and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan or Bankers’ Acceptance Loan after the date that is one month prior to the RCF Maturity Date.
          (b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the applicable Borrowers giving notice to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, at least three Business Days prior to the expiration of the then current Interest Period, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default, the U.S. Administrative Agent has given notice to the applicable Borrower that no such continuations may be made or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date therefor and provided, further, that if the applicable Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this subsection 4.2(b), the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.
          (c) Mandatory and voluntary conversions of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans into ABR Loans, or rollovers of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans shall be made in the circumstances, and to the extent, provided in subsection 4.6(c).
          4.3 Minimum Amounts of Sets. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods and terms to maturity hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of (i) Eurocurrency Loans comprising a Set shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) Bankers’ Acceptance Loans comprising a Set shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and so that there shall not be more than 15 Sets at any one time outstanding (other than sets comprised of new Term Loans, if any).
          4.4 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Each of the Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans made to it (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans which may not be prepaid prior to the maturity date of the underlying B/A Instrument) and the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice by the applicable Borrower to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in

80


 

Dollars), at least one Business Day’s irrevocable notice by the applicable Borrower to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable (in the case of (x) ABR Loans other than Swing Line Loans and (y) Reimbursement Obligations) or same-day irrevocable notice by the applicable Borrower to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable (in the case of Swing Line Loans); provided that, if a notice of prepayment in connection with a repayment of all outstanding Obligations is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of Commitments as contemplated by subsection 2.4, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with subsection 2.4. Such notice shall specify (A) in the case of any prepayment of Loans, the identity of the prepaying Borrower, the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is (i) of Term Loans, RCF Loans or Swing Line Loans, or a combination thereof, and (ii) of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, in each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each and (B) in the case of any prepayment of Reimbursement Obligations, the date and amount of prepayment, the identity of the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit and the amount allocable to each of such Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the receipt of any such notice the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall (subject to the proviso contained in the third preceding sentence) be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.12 and accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to this subsection shall be applied ratably to each Tranche of Term Loans to reduce the required amortization of such Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1(e) as directed by the Parent Borrower. Prepayments of RCF Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to this subsection shall (unless the Parent Borrower otherwise directs) be applied, first, to payment of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of the RCF Loans then outstanding, third, to payment of any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, last, to cash collateralize any outstanding Bankers’ Acceptance Loans or L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent; provided, further, that any pro rata calculations required to be made pursuant to this subsection 4.4(a) in respect to any Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made on a Dollar Equivalent basis. Partial prepayments pursuant to this subsection 4.4(a) shall be in multiples of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of partial prepayments made by the Canadian Borrowers, Cdn$1,000,000), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan may be prepaid in its entirety.
          (b) If on or after the Closing Date (i) the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall incur Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to subsection 8.2, except as otherwise specified in subsection 8.2) pursuant to a public offering or private placement or otherwise, (ii) the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall consummate an Asset Sale, (iii) a Recovery Event occurs or (iv) the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, then, in each case, to the extent that and for so long as Available RCF Commitments are less than $250,000,000 immediately after giving effect to such incurrence of Indebtedness, Asset Sale, Recovery Event or Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the relevant Borrowers shall prepay, in accordance with subsection 4.4(e), the Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans which may not be prepaid prior to the maturity date of the underlying B/A Instrument or Incremental Term Loans made to

81


 

Canadian Finco) and cash collateralize the Bankers’ Acceptance Loans and the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the lesser of: (A) (x) in the case of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof; (y) in the case of any such Asset Sale or Recovery Event, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof minus any Reinvested Amounts; and (z) in the case of any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof and (B) the amount of such prepayments required in order for Available RCF Commitments to be $250,000,000 or more, in each case with such prepayment to be made on the Business Day following the date of receipt of any such Net Cash Proceeds except that, in the case of clause (y), if any such Net Cash Proceeds are eligible to be reinvested in accordance with the definition of the term “Reinvested Amount” in subsection 1.1 and the Parent Borrower has not elected to reinvest such proceeds (or portion thereof, as the case may be), such prepayment to be made on the earlier of (1) the date on which the certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower to such effect is delivered to the U.S. Administrative Agent in accordance with such definition and (2) the last day of the period within which a certificate setting forth such election is required to be delivered in accordance with such definition). Nothing in this paragraph (b) shall limit the rights of the Agents and the Lenders set forth in Section 9.
          (c) (i) On any day (other than during an Agent Advance Period) on which the Aggregate U.S. RCF Lender Exposure or the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the U.S. Borrowers exceeds the difference of (A) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) minus (B) the sum of the excess of (x) (1) the Aggregate Canadian RCF Lender Exposure (with respect to the Canadian Borrowers) over (2) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) and (y) the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, Canadian Finco, the U.S. Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Canadian RCF Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers and, if required, U.S. RCF Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Canadian RCF Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers and U.S. RCF Loans, the aggregate amount of the U.S. RCF L/C Obligations and the Canadian RCF L/C Obligations with respect to the U.S. Borrowers exceeds the difference of (A) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) minus (B) the excess of (1) the Aggregate Canadian RCF Lender Exposure (with respect to the Canadian Borrowers) over (2) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), the U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to such L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the U.S. Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and the U.S. RCF Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the U.S. Administrative Agent.
          (ii) Without duplication of any mandatory prepayment required under subsection 4.4(c)(i) above, on any day (other than during an Agent Advance Period) on which the Aggregate Canadian RCF Lender Exposure with respect to the Canadian Borrowers exceeds the sum of (A) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) plus (B) the excess of (1) the U.S. Borrowing Base (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) over (2) the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to,

82


 

or for the account of, the U.S. Borrowers and Canadian Finco, the Canadian Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of Canadian RCF Loans made to them (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans where the underlying B/A Instruments have not matured) in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Canadian RCF Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans where the underlying B/A Instruments have not matured), the aggregate amount of outstanding Bankers’ Acceptance Loans and the Canadian RCF L/C Obligations with respect to the Canadian Borrowers exceeds the sum of (A) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) plus (B) the excess of (1) the U.S. Borrowing Base (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) over (2) the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the U.S. Borrowers and Canadian Finco, the Canadian Borrowers shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the sum of the aggregate face amount of the outstanding Bankers’ Acceptance Loans and the amount of the Canadian RCF L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Canadian Borrowers to the applicable Issuing Lenders and the Canadian RCF Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Canadian Administrative Agent.
          (iii) On any day on which the Aggregate U.S. RCF Lender Exposure exceeds the Total U.S. RCF Commitment at such time, the U.S. Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of U.S. RCF Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding U.S. RCF Loans, the aggregate amount of the U.S. RCF L/C Obligations exceeds the Total U.S. RCF Commitment at such time, the U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the U.S. Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the U.S. RCF L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the U.S. Borrowers to the applicable Issuing Lenders and the U.S. RCF Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the U.S. Administrative Agent.
          (iv) On any day on which the Aggregate Canadian RCF Lender Exposure exceeds the Total Canadian RCF Commitment at such time, the Canadian Borrowers and, if applicable, the U.S. Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of Canadian RCF Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans where the underlying B/A Instruments have not matured), in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Canadian RCF Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans where the underlying B/A Instruments have not matured), the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of the Canadian RCF L/C Obligations and the aggregate face amount of the outstanding Bankers’ Acceptance Loans exceeds the Total Canadian RCF Commitment at such time, the Canadian Borrowers and, if applicable, the U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the sum of the aggregate face amount of the outstanding Bankers’ Acceptance Loans and the aggregate amount of the Canadian RCF L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Canadian Borrowers or the U.S. Borrowers, as applicable, to the applicable

83


 

Issuing Lenders and the Canadian RCF Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Canadian Administrative Agent.
          (v) On any day (other than during an Agent Advance Period) on which the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, Canadian Finco exceeds the difference of (A) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) minus (B) the excess of the sum of (x) (1) the Aggregate Canadian RCF Lender Exposure (with respect to the Canadian Borrowers) over (2) the Canadian Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) and (y) the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the U.S. Borrowers, Canadian Finco shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Canadian RCF Loans made to Canadian Finco in an amount equal to such excess.
          (d) The U.S. Borrowers shall prepay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding simultaneously with each borrowing by them of RCF Loans.
          (e) Prepayments pursuant to subsection 4.4(b) shall be applied as follows:
  (i)   first, to make any mandatory repayments required pursuant to subsection 4.4(c); provided that, any proceeds received by the Canadian Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries and required to be used for a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 4.4(b) shall be applied solely to Canadian RCF Loans outstanding and/or to cash collateralize Bankers’ Acceptance Loans and Canadian RCF L/C Obligations;
 
  (ii)   second, at any time the Available RCF Commitments are less than $250,000,000, to prepay outstanding RCF Loans in an aggregate principal amount necessary to increase the Available RCF Commitments to $250,000,000; provided that, any proceeds received by the Canadian Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries and required to be used for a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 4.4(b) shall be applied solely to Canadian RCF Loans outstanding and/or to cash collateralize Bankers’ Acceptance Loans and Canadian RCF L/C Obligations;
 
  (iii)   third, to prepay Term Loans (other than any Incremental Term Loans made to Canadian Finco) then outstanding unless the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders reject the application of such prepayment to outstanding Term Loans;
 
  (iv)   fourth, subject to the provisions of the provisos contained in the last sentence of each of subsection 4.4(c)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), to prepay all Term Loans (other than any Incremental Term Loans made to Canadian Finco) and RCF Loans on a pro rata basis; and
 
  (v)   fifth, to repay all remaining obligations payable pursuant to this Agreement.

84


 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (e), in no event shall prepayments made by the Canadian Borrowers pursuant to subsection 4.4(b) be applied to repay Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Finco.
          (f) For avoidance of doubt, the RCF Commitments shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount of any prepayments of RCF Loans, payments of Reimbursement Obligations and cash collateralizations of L/C Obligations, in each case, made under subsection 4.4(b) or 4.4(c).
          (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 4.4, if at any time any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 4.4(a), 4.4(b) or 4.4(c) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in any Borrower incurring breakage costs under subsection 4.12 as a result of Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the relevant Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially (i) deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the U.S. Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of such Borrowers to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by such Borrower) or (ii) make a prepayment of the RCF Loans in accordance with subsection 4.4(a) with an amount equal to a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans (which prepayment, together with any deposits pursuant to clause (i) above, must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid); provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Borrowers may request any Extension of Credit under the Commitments that would reduce the aggregate amount of the Available RCF Commitments to an amount that is less than the amount of such prepayment until the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans has been prepaid upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans; provided that, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with subsection 4.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans or the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans have or has been prepaid.
          4.5 Commitment Fees; U.S. Administrative Agent’s Fee; Other Fees. (a) Each U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the U.S. Administrative Agent, for the account of each U.S. RCF Lender, and each Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for the account of each Canadian RCF Lender, a commitment fee during the RCF Commitment Period, computed at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Unutilized RCF Loan Commitment of such RCF Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the RCF Maturity Date or such earlier date as the RCF Loan Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on December 31, 2006.

85


 

          (b) The U.S. Borrowers and the Canadian Borrowers agree to pay to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the Lead Arrangers any fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by Holdings, any Affiliate of Holdings, the Lead Arrangers and the U.S. Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement.
          4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest (other than interest based on the Prime Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or BA Rate) and commitment fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed; and interest based on the Prime Rate or Canadian Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. BA Fees shall be calculated on the basis of 365-day year for the actual days elapsed. The U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR, the Canadian Prime Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
          (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on each of the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall, at the request of the Parent Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Parent Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 4.1, excluding any Eurocurrency Base Rate which is based upon the Telerate British Bankers Assoc. Interest Settlement Rates Page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Prime Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate.
          (c) Bankers’ Acceptances.
          (i) Acceptances and Drafts. Each Canadian Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and from time to time on any Business Day prior to the date which is 30 days prior to the RCF Maturity Date (A) in the case of any Canadian Lender which is not a Non BA Lender, to create Bankers’ Acceptances by accepting Drafts and to purchase such Bankers’ Acceptances in accordance with subsection 4.6(c)(iv), and (B) in the case of a Non BA Lender, to purchase completed Drafts (which have not and will not be accepted by such Lender or any other Canadian Lender) in accordance with subsection 4.6(c)(iv).
          (ii) Term. Each Draft presented by a Canadian Borrower shall (A) be in a minimum Face Amount of Cdn $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of Cdn $100,000, (B) be dated the date of the making of such Bankers’ Acceptance Loan, and (C) mature and be payable by the Canadian Borrower (in common with all other Drafts presented in connection with such Bankers’ Acceptance Loan) on a Business Day which occurs approximately 30, 60, 90 or

86


 

180 days (or such longer or shorter period as the Canadian Administrative Agent may agree) at the election of the Canadian Borrower after the Borrowing Date and on or prior to the date which is 30 days prior to the RCF Maturity Date.
          (iii) BA Rate. On each Borrowing Date or other date on which Bankers’ Acceptances are to be accepted, the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Canadian Borrowers as to such Agent’s determination of the applicable BA Rate for the Bankers’ Acceptance Loans.
          (iv) Purchase. Not later than 12:30 P.M. (New York City time) on an applicable Borrowing Date (or at such other time as to which the Canadian Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Canadian Borrower reasonably in advance of the Borrowing Date with respect thereto), each Canadian Lender shall complete one or more Drafts in accordance with the notice of Borrowing given in accordance with subsection 2.3(b) and either (x) accept the Drafts and purchase the Bankers’ Acceptances so created for an amount equal to the BA Proceeds less the BA Fee payable with respect to such Drafts, or (y) purchase the Drafts for an amount equal to the BA Proceeds less the BA Fee payable with respect to such Drafts. In each case, upon receipt of the amount equal to the BA Proceeds less the BA Fee payable with respect to such Drafts and upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 6, as applicable, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall apply such amount as follows: (i) remit to the Canadian Borrower (in the case of the making of a Canadian RCF Loan), (ii) prepay ABR Loans under the Canadian RC Facility (which shall constitute a conversion of the Canadian RCF Loans from ABR Loans to Bankers’ Acceptance Loans) or (iii) pay Bankers’ Acceptance Loans maturing on such date (which shall constitute a continuation of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans to new Bankers’ Acceptance Loans), provided that in the case of any such conversion or continuation of Loans, the Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent for account of the Canadian Lenders such additional amounts, if any, as shall be necessary to effect the prepayment in full of the respective ABR Loans being prepaid, or the Bankers’ Acceptance Loans maturing, as the case may be, on such date and provided, further, that no Bankers’ Acceptance Loan will be available, upon creation, purchase, conversion or continuation or rollover or otherwise, (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and, in the case of any Default, the Canadian Administrative Agent has given notice to the Canadian Borrowers that no such continuations, conversions or rollovers may be made or (ii) after the date which is 30 days prior to the RCF Maturity Date.
          (v) Sale. Each Canadian Lender may from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased by it.
          (vi) Power of Attorney for the Execution of Bankers’ Acceptances. To facilitate the availment of the Canadian RC Facility by Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, each Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each Canadian Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Canadian Lender, blank forms of Drafts. In this respect, it is each Canadian Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of Drafts for acceptance under this Agreement. Each Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that all Drafts signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Canadian Lender shall bind the applicable Canadian Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing

87


 

officers of such Canadian Borrower. Each Canadian Lender is hereby authorized to issue such Drafts endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Canadian Lender; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of Drafts required to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Lender. No Canadian Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Canadian Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction). Each Canadian Lender shall maintain a record with respect to Drafts held by it in blank hereunder, voided by it for any reason, purchased by it hereunder, and cancelled at their respective maturities. Each Canadian Lender agrees to provide such records to any Canadian Borrower at such Canadian Borrower’s expense upon request.
          (vii) Execution. Drafts drawn by any Canadian Borrower to be accepted and/or purchased as Bankers’ Acceptance Loans shall be signed by a duly authorized officer or officers of the applicable Canadian Borrower or by its attorneys. Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature appears on any Draft may no longer be an authorized signatory for the Canadian Borrower at the time of issuance of a B/A Instrument, that signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if the authority had remained in force at the time of issuance and any B/A Instrument so signed shall be binding on such Canadian Borrower.
          (viii) Issuance. The Canadian Administrative Agent promptly following receipt of a notice of a Borrowing, conversion or continuation by way of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, shall advise the Canadian Lenders of the notice and shall advise each Canadian Lender of the face amount of B/A Instruments to be accepted and/or purchased by it and the applicable term (which shall be identical for all Canadian Lenders). The aggregate face amount of B/A Instruments to be accepted/and or purchased by a Canadian Lender shall be determined by the Canadian Administrative Agent by reference to that Canadian Lender’s Canadian RCF Commitment Percentage of the issue of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, except that, if the face amount of a B/A Instrument which would otherwise be accepted by a Canadian Lender would not be Cdn$ 100,000, or a whole multiple thereof, the face amount shall be increased or reduced by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to Cdn$ 1,000, or the nearest whole multiple of that amount, as appropriate; provided that after such issuance, no Canadian Lender shall have aggregate outstanding Canadian RCF Loans in excess of its Canadian RCF Commitment.
          (ix) Rollover. At or before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days before the maturity date of any B/A Instrument, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall give to the Canadian Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice which notice shall specify either (x) that the applicable Canadian Borrower intends to repay the maturing B/A Instrument on the maturity date or (y) that the applicable Canadian Borrower intends to issue B/A Instruments on the maturity date to provide for the payment of the aggregate face amount of the maturing B/A Instrument or (z) that the Canadian Borrower intends to issue new B/A Instruments and pay any additional amounts as may be necessary to effect payment in full of the aggregate face amount of the maturing B/A Instruments. If the applicable Canadian Borrower fails to provide such notice to the Canadian Administrative Agent or fails to repay the maturing B/A Instrument, or if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such maturity date, the applicable Canadian Borrower’s obligations in respect of the maturing

88


 

B/A Instrument shall be deemed to have been converted on the maturity date thereof into an ABR Loan under the Canadian RC Facility in an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the maturing B/A Instrument which shall bear interest calculated and payable as provided in Section 4. Otherwise, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall provide payment to the Canadian Administrative Agent on behalf of the Canadian Lenders of an amount equal to the aggregate face amount of the B/A Instruments issued by the applicable Canadian Lenders on their maturity date.
          (x) Waiver of Presentment and Other Conditions. Each Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Canadian Lender in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance or other B/A Instrument purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of the Bankers’ Acceptance or other B/A Instrument being held, at the maturity thereof, by the Canadian Lender in its own right and each Canadian Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if the Canadian Lender as holder sues such Canadian Borrower on the Bankers’ Acceptance or other B/A Instrument for payment of the amount payable by the Canadian Borrower thereunder. Except for the requirement to pay immediately upon acceleration of the Canadian RCF Loans pursuant to Section 9, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Canadian Lender that has purchased such B/A Instrument the full face amount of such B/A Instrument on the specified maturity date of a B/A Instrument, and after such payment, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and the Canadian Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A Instrument.
          (xi) Discount Notes by Non BA Lenders. Whenever a Canadian Borrower requests a Bankers’ Acceptance Loan, each Canadian Lender which is a Non BA Lender shall, in lieu of accepting a Bankers’ Acceptance, purchase the completed Drafts for an amount equal to the BA Proceeds less the BA Fee payable with respect to such Drafts. The Canadian Borrowers shall, at the request of such Non BA Lender, issue one or more non-interest bearing promissory notes (each a “Discount Note”) denominated in Canadian Dollars payable on the date of maturity of the unaccepted Draft referred to below, in such form as the Canadian Lender may specify and in a principal amount equal to the face amount of, and in exchange for, any unaccepted Drafts which the Non BA Lender has purchased in accordance with subsection 4.6(c)(iv).
          (xii) Terms Applicable to Discount Notes. All terms of this Agreement applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances shall apply equally to Discount Notes with such changes as may in the context be necessary. For greater certainty:
      (A) the term of a Discount Note shall be the same as the term for Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased on the same Borrowing Date in respect of the same Canadian RCF Loan;
      (B) an acceptance fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the BA Fee in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance;

89


 

      (C) the BA Rate applicable to a Discount Note shall be the BA Rate applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by a Lender other than Schedule I Lender on the same Borrowing Date or other date, as the case may be, in respect of the same RCF Loan; and
      (D) the term “face amount” when used in the context of a Discount Note shall mean and refer to the principal amount of such Discount Note.
          (xiii) Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada). At the option of any Canadian Lender, Bankers’ Acceptances under this Agreement to be accepted by that Canadian Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada). All depository bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this subsection 4.6. Upon the request of any Canadian Lender, the Canadian Borrowers shall provide to such Canadian Lender a power of attorney to complete, sign, endorse and issue B/A Instruments on behalf of the Canadian Borrowers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Canadian Lender.
          (xiv) Payment, Conversion or Renewal of B/A Instruments. On any date on which a Bankers’ Acceptance Loan is created, purchased, converted or continued, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be entitled to net all amounts payable on such date by the Canadian Administrative Agent to a Canadian Lender against all amounts payable on such date by such Canadian Lender to the Canadian Administrative Agent. Similarly, on any such date each Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes each Canadian Lender to net all amounts payable on such date by such Canadian Lender to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of such Canadian Borrower, against all amounts payable on such date by such Canadian Borrower to such Canadian Lender in accordance with the Canadian Administrative Agent’s calculations.
          (xv) Circumstances Making Bankers’ Acceptances Unavailable. If, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market generally, as determined in good faith by the Canadian Administrative Agent acting reasonably and in respect of which the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Canadian Borrowers of the occurrence and particulars thereof, there is no market for Bankers’ Acceptances or Canadian Lenders cannot readily sell bankers’ acceptances or perform their obligations under this Agreement with respect to bankers’ acceptances (i) the right of the Canadian Borrowers to request a Bankers’ Acceptance Loan shall be suspended until the circumstances causing a suspension no longer exist, (ii) any applicable notice of Borrowing which is outstanding shall either: (x) be cancelled and the requested Bankers’ Acceptance Loan shall not be made or (y) the Canadian Administrative Agent may, acting reasonably and taking into account any circumstances then affecting the Canadian Lenders and the availability of Loans, at the direction of the Canadian Borrowers, deem the aforementioned notice of Borrowing, a notice of Borrowing for ABR Loans under the Canadian RC Facility.
          The Canadian Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Canadian Borrower of the suspension of the Canadian Borrower’s right to request a Bankers’ Acceptance Loan and of the termination of any suspension.
          4.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the U.S. Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be

90


 

conclusive and binding upon each of the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (the “Affected Rate”) for such Interest Period, the U.S. Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate or Affected Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans and (c) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate and that are not otherwise permitted to be converted to or continued as ABR Loans by subsection 4.2 shall, upon demand by the applicable Lenders the Commitment Percentage of which aggregate greater than 50% of such Loans, be immediately repaid by the applicable Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto together with accrued interest thereon or otherwise, at the option of the Parent Borrower, shall remain outstanding and bear interest at a rate which reflects, as to each of the RCF Lenders, such RCF Lender’s cost of funding such Eurocurrency Loans as reasonably determined by such Lender, plus the Applicable Margin hereunder. If any such repayment occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such Affected Eurocurrency Loan, the applicable Borrower shall pay to each of the applicable Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 4.12. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the U.S. Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any of the Borrowers have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate.
          4.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing of Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) by any of the applicable Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder shall be made, each payment by any of the Borrowers on account of any commitment fee in respect of any RCF Commitments, as applicable, hereunder shall be allocated by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, and any reduction of any RCF Commitments of the Lenders shall be allocated by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, pro rata according to the U.S. RCF Commitment Percentage or Canadian RCF Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the applicable Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any of the applicable Borrowers on account of principal of (or the face amount of) and interest on any Term Loan, U.S. RCF Loans or Canadian RCF Loans, as applicable, shall be allocated by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal (or face) amounts of such Term Loans, U.S. RCF Loans or Canadian RCF Loans, as applicable, then held by the relevant Lenders; provided that in no event shall payments made by the Canadian Borrowers be applied to repay Loans made to the U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Finco. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any of the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, Reimbursement Obligations or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as

91


 

applicable, for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans or the L/C Participants, as the case may be, at the U.S. Administrative Agent’s or the Canadian Administrative Agent’s, as applicable, office specified in subsection 11.2, in Dollars, or, in the case of payments in respect of Canadian RCF Loans and Canadian RCF Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, in Canadian Dollars and (whether in Dollars or Canadian Dollars) in immediately available funds. Payments received by the U.S. Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
          (b) Unless the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to such Agent, such Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to such Agent, and such Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate or the rate customary for settlement of Canadian Dollar interbank obligations, as applicable, and as quoted by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in each case for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be. A certificate of the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the applicable Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the applicable Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and such Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder on demand from such Borrower and (y) then such Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against such Lender

92


 

hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, (i) borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available, provided that at the time such borrowing is made and at all times while such amount is outstanding such Borrower would be permitted to borrow such amount pursuant to subsection 2.1 and/or (ii) take any action permitted by the following subsection 4.8(c).
      (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:
      (i) If at any time a Lender shall not make a Loan required to be made by it hereunder (any such Lender, a “Defaulting Lender”), the Parent Borrower shall have the right to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower to each become a substitute Lender and assume all or part of the outstanding Loans and/or Commitments of such Defaulting Lender. In such event, the Parent Borrower, the U.S. Administrative Agent and any such substitute Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution.
      (ii) In determining the Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Loans and/or Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded. No commitment fee shall accrue for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
      (iii) If at any time any Borrower shall be required to make any payment under any Loan Document to or for the account of a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower, so long as it is then permitted to borrow RCF Loans hereunder, may set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Loan. In such event, the amount so set off and otherwise applied shall be deemed to constitute a RCF Loan by such Defaulting Lender made on the date of such set-off and included within any borrowing of RCF Loans as the U.S. Administrative Agent may reasonably determine.
      (iv) If, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, which for the purposes of this subsection 4.8(c)(iv) shall include any Lender that has taken any action or become the subject of any action or proceeding of a type described in subsection 9(f), any Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under any Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower, so long as it is then permitted to borrow RCF Loans hereunder, may satisfy such payment obligation by paying such amount to the U.S. Administrative Agent, or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, to be (to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent not utilized by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, to satisfy obligations of the Defaulting Lender owing to it) held by the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, in escrow pursuant to its standard terms (including as to the earning of interest), and applied (together with any accrued

93


 

interest) by it from time to time to make any RCF Loans or other payments as and when required to be made by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.
          4.9 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent (in the case of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans) (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan (or a Swing Line Loan) when an Affected Loan is requested (to the extent otherwise permitted by subsection 4.2), (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods or, in the case of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, the maturity dates with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law (to the extent otherwise permitted by subsection 4.2) and (d) such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, not otherwise permitted to be converted to ABR Loans by subsection 4.2 shall, upon notice to the Parent Borrower, be prepaid with accrued interest thereon on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (or such earlier date as may be required by any such Requirement of Law). If any such conversion or prepayment of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 4.12.
          4.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):
      (i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit, any L/C Request, or any Eurocurrency Loans, Bankers’ Acceptance Loans made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, in each case, except for Non-Excluded Taxes and taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, branch profit taxes or franchise taxes, or taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth (in the case of such capital or net worth taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes), of such Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof;
      (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other

94


 

acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate or BA Rate, as the case may be, hereunder; or
          (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever);
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Parent Borrower from such Lender, through the U.S. Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the applicable Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, or Letters of Credit, provided that, in any such case, such Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the U.S. Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such election, in which case such Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 4.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 4.12. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Parent Borrower, through the U.S. Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the U.S. Administrative Agent, to the Parent Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
          (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the U.S. Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the

95


 

applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the U.S. Administrative Agent, to the Parent Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 4.10, no Borrower shall be required to pay any amount with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, to the extent such additional cost or reduction is attributable, directly or indirectly, to the application of, compliance with or implementation of specific capital adequacy requirements or new methods of calculating capital adequacy, including any part or “pillar” (including Pillar 2 (“Supervisory Review Process”)), of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement Standards: a Revised Framework, published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, or any implementation, adoption (whether voluntary or compulsory) thereof, whether by an EC Directive or the FSA Integrated Prudential Sourcebook or any other law or regulation, or otherwise.
          4.11 Taxes. (a) Except as provided below in this subsection or as required by law, all payments made by each of the Borrowers and the Agents under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (“Taxes”), excluding Taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income of any Agent or Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, and all franchise Taxes, branch Taxes, Taxes on doing business or Taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall capital or net worth of any such Agent or Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, in each case imposed: (i) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Agent or Lender, applicable lending office, branch or affiliate is organized or is located, or in which its principal executive office is located, or any nation within which such jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof; or (ii) by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Tax and such Agent or Lender, applicable lending office, branch or affiliate other than a connection arising solely from such Agent or Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations under, or received payment under or enforced, this Agreement or any Notes. If any such non-excluded Taxes (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by any Borrower or any Agent to the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts payable by such Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that each of the Borrowers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by any Borrower or any Agent to, or for the account of, any such Agent or Lender shall not be increased (x) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraphs (b) or (c) of this subsection or subsection 4.15 hereof (provided that while such failure shall limit the indemnity obligation of the Borrowers pursuant to this subsection 4.11, such failure shall not be

96


 

treated as a breach of this Agreement for any other purpose) or (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Agent becomes an Agent hereunder or such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (such change, at such time, a “Change in Law”) or (z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a Change in Law. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any of the Borrowers, as promptly as possible thereafter the applicable Borrower shall send to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If any U.S. Borrower or any Canadian Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the U.S. Borrowers (in the case of any failure by a U.S. Borrower), on a joint and several basis, and the Canadian Borrowers (in the case of any failure by a Canadian Borrower), on a joint and several basis, shall indemnify the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
          (b) Each Agent (other than the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent), and each Lender that stands ready to make, makes or holds any Extension of Credit to any U.S. Borrower (which shall include for the purposes of this clause (b), Canadian Finco) (a “U.S. Extender of Credit”), in each case that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall:
      (X) (i) on or before the date of any payment by any of the U.S. Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the U.S. Borrowers and the U.S. Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (certifying that it is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country) or Form W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case certifying that it is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, (B) in the case of DBNY, also deliver two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the U.S. Borrowers to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments (and the U.S. Borrowers and DBNY agree to so treat DBNY as a U.S. person with respect to such payments), with the effect that the U.S. Borrowers can make payments to DBNY without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the

97


 

      United States and (C) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes;
      (ii) deliver to the U.S. Borrowers and the U.S. Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the U.S. Borrowers; and
      (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by any U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Administrative Agent; or
      (Y) in the case of any such Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”,
      (i) represent to the U.S. Borrowers and the U.S. Administrative Agent that it is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;
      (ii) deliver to the U.S. Borrowers on or before the date of any payment by any of the U.S. Borrowers, with a copy to the U.S. Administrative Agent, (A) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such form to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes (and shall also deliver to the U.S. Borrowers and the U.S. Administrative Agent two further copies of such form or certificate on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form or certificate and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by any U.S. Borrower or the U.S. Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms or certificates); and
      (iii) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by any U.S. Borrower, to the U.S. Borrowers and the U.S. Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (ii) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by any of the Borrowers) which would be imposed on such Lender of complying with such request; or
      (Z) in the case of any such Lender that is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

98

99


 

Lender (or beneficiary or member) to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (iii) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by any of the Borrowers) which would be imposed on such Lender (or beneficiary or member) of complying with such request;
unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder (or a beneficiary or member in the circumstances described in clause (Z) above, if later) which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender (or such beneficiary or member) from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Administrative Agent.
          (c) Each Agent and each U.S. Extender of Credit, in each case that is organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, shall on or before the date of any payment by any of the U.S. Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes to, or for the account of, such Agent or U.S. Extender of Credit, deliver to the U.S. Borrowers (which shall include for the purposes of this clause (c), Canadian Finco) and the U.S. Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor form, certifying that such Agent or U.S. Extender of Credit is a United States Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) and that such Agent or U.S. Extender of Credit is entitled to a complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

Each U.S. Borrower jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Lender in respect of Extensions of Credit made, or requested to be made, to the U.S. Borrowers, each Canadian Borrower jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Canadian RCF Lender in respect of Extensions of Credit made, or requested to be made, to the Canadian Borrowers and Canadian Finco agrees to indemnify each Lender in respect of Extensions of Credit made to it, and, in each case, to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction)) as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans after the Parent Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans after the respective Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment (or the purchase pursuant to subsection 4.13(d)(i)) of Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period or maturity date, as applicable, with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest (or in the case of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, yield) which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period or maturity date, as applicable (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period or the term of the B/A Instrument, as the case may be, that would have commenced on the date

100


 

of such failure), in each case at the applicable rate of interest or BA Rate, as applicable, for such Eurocurrency Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest or, in the case of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, yield (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market or by issuing bankers’ acceptances for a comparable period, as the case may be. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this subsection 4.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Parent Borrower, through the U.S. Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the U.S. Administrative Agent, to the Parent Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
          4.13 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) Upon the request, and at the expense of the applicable Borrower, each Lender to which any of the Borrowers is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to subsection 4.10 or 4.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford such Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with such Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender shall not be required to afford such Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless such Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) such Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with such Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender shall be required to afford any Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with such Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Taxes, if such Lender in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.
          (b) If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to paragraph (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause any of the Borrowers to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 4.10 or 4.11, such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.
          (c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender by any of the Borrowers pursuant to subsection 4.10 or 4.11, such Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the U.S. Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its

101


 

business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Parent Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).
          (d) If any of the Borrowers shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to subsection 4.10 or 4.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under subsection 4.10 or 4.11, the applicable Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the U.S. Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent and such Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s (other than a Bankers’ Acceptance Loan) principal amount plus accrued interest, in the case of any Bankers’ Acceptance Loan, to provide cash collateral in an amount equal to the face amount of each affected Bankers’ Acceptance Loan pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the affected Lender, and, in each case, assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the U.S. Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Canadian Administrative Agent), to prepay the affected Loan (other than a Bankers’ Acceptance Loan), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, except as otherwise provided in subsections 4.6(a) and 4.12 in the case of any Bankers’ Acceptance Loan, to provide cash collateral in an amount equal to the face amount of each affected Bankers’ Acceptance Loan pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the affected Lender. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Parent Borrower (and any other applicable Borrower), the U.S. Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to subsection 11.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 11.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by such Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the applicable Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 4.10 and 4.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under this subsection 4.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment.
          (e) If any Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable to taxes for which any of the Borrowers has made additional payments pursuant to subsection 4.10(a) or 4.11(a), such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to such Borrower; provided, however, that such Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority.
          (f) The obligations of any Agent, Lender or Participant under this subsection 4.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all amounts payable hereunder.

          4.14 Controls on Prepayment if Aggregate Outstanding RCF Credit Exceeds Aggregate RCF Commitments. (a) In addition to the provisions set forth in subsection 4.4(c), the Parent Borrower will implement and maintain internal controls to monitor the borrowings and repayments of Loans by the Borrowers and the issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit, with the object of (A) preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in (i) the Aggregate Outstanding RCF Credit with respect to all of the RCF Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) being in excess of the aggregate RCF Commitments then in effect or (ii) any other circumstance under which an Extension of Credit would not be permitted pursuant to subsection 2.2(a) and (b) and of (B) promptly identifying any circumstance where, by reason of changes in exchange rates, the Aggregate Outstanding RCF Credit with respect to all of the RCF Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) exceeds the aggregate RCF Commitments then in effect.
          (b) The (i) U.S. Administrative Agent will calculate the Aggregate Outstanding RCF Credit with respect to all of (A) the RCF Lenders and (B) the U.S. RCF Lenders (in each case, including the Swing Line Lender) and (ii) Canadian Administrative Agent will calculate the Aggregate Outstanding RCF Credit with respect to the Canadian RCF Lenders, in each case, from time to time, and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar week. In making such calculations, the U.S. Administrative Agent will rely on the information most recently received by it from the Swing Line Lender in respect of outstanding Swing Line Loans, from the Issuing Lenders in respect of outstanding L/C Obligations and from the Canadian Administrative Agent in respect of the Aggregate Outstanding RCF Credit with respect to the Canadian RCF Lenders.
          4.15 Canadian RCF Lenders. (a) The Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent and any Lender that holds any commitment or makes or holds any Extension of Credit to any Canadian Borrower (such Lender, a “Canadian Extender of Credit”) will at all times be a Canadian Resident. Each Lender making an Extension of Credit to Canadian Finco (other than an Extension of Credit with respect to which Canadian Finco represents that interest payments made pursuant to such a Loan shall be exempt from Canadian withholding taxation without regard to the residence of the Lender) will at all times, be a Canadian Resident that complies with subsection 4.11(b) or (c) with respect to such Extension of Credit to Canadian Finco.
          (b) A Canadian RCF Lender may change its Affiliate acting as Canadian Lender hereunder but only pursuant to an assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent (with the consent of the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent and each Canadian Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower or the Canadian Borrowers), where the respective assignee represents and warrants that it is an Affiliate of the respective Canadian RCF Lender and represents and warrants that it is a Canadian Resident and will act directly as a Canadian Lender with respect to the Canadian RCF Commitment of the respective Canadian RCF Lender.
          (c) Each Non-Canadian Affiliate will at all times comply with the provisions of subsection 4.11(b) or 4.11(c), as applicable.

          (b) At reasonable times during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice that the U.S. Administrative Agent requests, independently of or in connection with the visits and inspections provided for in clause (a) above, the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries will grant access to the U.S. Administrative Agent (including employees of the U.S. Administrative Agent or any consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by the U.S. Administrative Agent) to such Person’s premises, books, records, accounts and Rental Fleet so that (i) the U.S. Administrative Agent or an appraiser retained by the U.S. Administrative Agent may (A) conduct a Rental Fleet appraisal and (B) at any time when Eligible Inventory constitutes more than 5.0% of the Total Borrowing Base, an Inventory appraisal (provided that, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, only one such Inventory appraisal may be conducted at the Loan Parties’ expense in any calendar year) and (ii) the U.S. Administrative Agent may conduct (or engage third parties to conduct) such field examinations, verifications and evaluations (including environmental assessments) as the U.S. Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate.

All such Rental Fleet appraisals, field examinations and other verifications and evaluations shall be at the sole expense of the Loan Parties; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent may conduct at the expense of the Loan Parties no more than (w) three (3) such Rental Fleet appraisals during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2007, (x) following December 31, 2007, two (2) such Rental Fleet appraisals in any calendar year to the extent that the average Available RCF Commitments for the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the commencement of any subsequent appraisal in such

129


 

calendar year exceed $300,000,000, (y) three (3) such Rental Fleet appraisals in any calendar year to the extent that the average Available RCF Commitments for the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the commencement of any subsequent appraisal in such calendar year are less than $300,000,000 and (z) four (4) such Rental Fleet appraisals in any calendar year to the extent that the average Available RCF Commitments for the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the commencement of any subsequent appraisal in such calendar year are less than $200,000,000, (ii) the U.S. Administrative Agent may conduct at the expense of the Loan Parties no more than two (2) such field examinations in any calendar year and (iii) notwithstanding the limitations set forth in preceding clauses (i) and (ii), all such Rental Fleet appraisals, inventory appraisals and field examinations commenced at any time when an Event of Default or Liquidity Event exists shall be at the sole expense of the Loan Parties. All amounts chargeable to the applicable Borrowers under this subsection 7.6(b) shall constitute obligations that are secured by all of the applicable Collateral and shall be payable to the Agents hereunder.

For purposes of this subsection 7.8(a), noncompliance shall not constitute a breach of this covenant, provided that, upon learning of any actual or suspected noncompliance, the Parent Borrower and any such affected Subsidiary shall promptly undertake and diligently pursue reasonable efforts, if any, to achieve compliance, and provided, further, that in any case such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (b) Promptly comply, in all material respects, with all orders and directives of all Governmental Authorities regarding Environmental Laws, other than such orders or directives (i) as to which the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) as to which: (x) appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP; (y) an appeal or other appropriate contest is or has been timely and properly taken and is being diligently pursued in good faith; and (z) if the effectiveness of such order or directive has not been stayed, the failure to comply with such order or directive during the pendency of such appeal or contest could not reasonably be expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect.

Amounts held in any such cash collateral account with respect to U.S. RCF Letters of Credit shall be applied by the U.S. Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such U.S. RCF Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such U.S. RCF Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Amounts held in any such cash collateral account with respect to Canadian RCF Letters of Credit shall be applied by the applicable Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Canadian RCF Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Canadian RCF Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

          (b) For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Agents or any other Person acting as an agent, attorney-in-fact or mandatory for the Agents under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents, each Lender (for itself and for all other Secured Parties that are Affiliates of such Lender) and each Agent hereby (i) irrevocably appoints and constitutes (to the extent necessary) and confirms the constitution of (to the extent necessary), the Canadian Collateral Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (in such capacity, the “fondé de pouvoir”) within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec for the purposes of entering and holding on their behalf, and for their benefit, any Liens, including hypothecs (“Hypothecs”), granted or to be granted by any Loan Party on movable or immovable property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec to secure obligations of any Loan Party under any bond issued by any Loan Party and exercising such powers and duties which are conferred upon the Canadian Collateral Agent in its capacity as fondé de pouvoir under any of the Hypothecs; and (ii) appoints (and confirms the appointment of) and agrees that the Canadian Administrative Agent, acting as agent for the applicable Secured Parties, may act as the custodian, registered holder and mandatory (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged from time to time for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties. Each applicable Secured Party shall be entitled to the benefits of any charged property covered by any of the Hypothecs and will participate in the proceeds of realization of any such charged property, the whole in accordance with the terms thereof.
          (c) The said constitution of the Canadian Collateral Agent as fondé de pouvoir (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) and of the Canadian Administrative Agent as Custodian with respect to any bond that may be issued and pledged by any Loan Party from time to time for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties shall be

161


 

deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by any Assignee by the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance.
          (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act Respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons (Québec), each Administrative Agent and each Collateral Agent may purchase, acquire and be the holder of any bond issued by any Loan Party. Each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges that any such bond shall constitute a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec.
          (e) The Canadian Collateral Agent herein appointed as fondé de pouvoir and Custodian shall have the same rights, powers and immunities as the Agents as stipulated in this Section 10 of the Credit Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. Without limiting the effect of the preceding provisions of this clause (e), the provisions of subsection 9.9 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor to the Canadian Collateral Agent acting as fondé de pouvoir and Custodian.
          10.2 Delegation of Duties. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including, without limitation, the Canadian Administrative Agent in the case of the U.S. Administrative Agent and the U.S. Administrative Agent in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent in the case of the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agent in the case of the Canadian Collateral Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agent in the case of the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care.
          10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent, Lead Arranger or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction)) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for (i) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Credit Agreement Party or any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents or any Lead Arranger under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Notes or any other Loan Document, (iii) for any failure of any Credit Agreement Party or any other Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of the conditions

162


 

precedent set forth in Section 6, or (vi) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Neither the Agents nor any Lead Arranger shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Agreement Party or any other Loan Party. Each Lender agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by either Administrative Agent hereunder or given to the Agents for the account of or with copies for the Lenders, the Agents and the Lead Arrangers shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Agents and the Lead Arrangers or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
          10.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected (and shall have no liability to any Person) in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Credit Agreement Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by each Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with subsection 11.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. Each Agent shall be fully justified as between itself and the Lenders in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 11.1(a) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and any Notes and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 11.1(a), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
          10.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the U.S. Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or any Credit Agreement Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the U.S. Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the U.S. Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agents shall take such action reasonably promptly with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is

163


 

required pursuant to subsection 11.1 (a); provided that unless and until the Agents shall have received such directions, the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
          10.6 Acknowledgements and Representations by Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents or the Lead Arrangers nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent or any Lead Arranger hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Credit Agreement Party or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Lead Arranger to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon the any Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, it has made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Agents nor any Lead Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender represents to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of subsection 11.6 applicable to the Lenders hereunder.
          10.7 Indemnification. (a) The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting the joint and several obligations of the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrowers, as the case may be, to do so), ratably according to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans and/or all other amounts payable hereunder) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction). The obligations to indemnify the Issuing Lender and Swing Line

164


 

Lender shall be ratable among the RCF Lenders in accordance with their respective RCF Commitments (or, if the RCF Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding principal amount of their respective RCF Loans and L/C Obligations and their respective participating interests in the outstanding Letters of Credit and shall be payable only by the RCF Lenders). The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
          (b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
          (c) The agreements in this subsection 10.7 shall survive the payment of all Borrower Obligations (as defined in the U.S. Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) and Guarantor Obligations.
          10.8 Agents and Lead Arrangers in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent, the Lead Arrangers and their Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Agreement Party or any other Loan Party as though such Agent and the Lead Arrangers were not an Agent or an Lead Arranger hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to Loans made or renewed by them and any Note issued to them and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by them, each Agent and the Lead Arrangers shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not an Agent or an Lead Arranger, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agents and the Lead Arrangers in their individual capacities.
          10.9 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the U.S. Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note or participant in Letters of Credit by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the U.S. Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, and the exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The U.S. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.
          (b) The Lenders hereby authorize the applicable Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Loan Documents at any time arising under or

165


 

in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than a Loan Party) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with subsection 8.6, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater amount, to the extent required by subsection 11.1) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. Upon request by the U.S. Administrative Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Canadian Collateral Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this subsection 10.9.
          (c) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this subsection 10.9 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction).
          (d) The U.S. Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the U.S. Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the U.S. Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree. The Canadian Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Canadian Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the Canadian Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree.
          10.10 Successor Agent. (a) Each Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as Collateral Agent, if applicable. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, if applicable, pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.
          (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by an Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, if applicable, hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrowers’ approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

166


 

          (c) If a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, if applicable, shall not have been so appointed within such 30 day period, such Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrowers’ consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, if applicable, who shall serve as the U.S. Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and U.S. Collateral Agent or Canadian Collateral Agent, if applicable, hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor U.S. Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and U.S. Collateral Agent or Canadian Collateral Agent, if applicable, as provided above.
          (d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 15th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by any Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the U.S. Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor U.S. Administrative Agent or Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as provided above.
          (e) Upon a resignation of any Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 10.10, such Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 10 (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as such Administrative Agent.
          10.11 Lead Arrangers and Syndication Agent. Neither the Syndication Agent, nor any of the entities identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the definition of Lead Arranger contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such.
          10.12 Swing Line Lender. The provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such to the same extent that such provisions apply to the U.S. Administrative Agent.
          10.13 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, each Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax, and in no event shall such Agent be required to be responsible for or pay any additional amount with respect to any such withholding. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that any Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify such 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 such Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred.

167


 

          Section 11. Miscellaneous.
          11.1 Amendments and Waivers. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 11.1.

     (i) reduce or forgive the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or of any scheduled installment thereof or reduce the stated rate of any interest, commission or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of (i) any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates or (ii) an amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment or change the currency in which any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation is payable, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender);
     (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 11.1(a) or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, or consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Agreement Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (other than pursuant to subsection 8.5 or 11.6(a)), in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders;
     (iii) release any Guarantor under any Security Document, or, in the aggregate (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), all or substantially all of the Collateral without the consent of all of the Lenders, except as expressly permitted hereby or by any Security Document (as such documents are in effect on the date hereof or, if later, the date of execution and delivery thereof in accordance with the terms hereof);
     (iv) require any Lender to make Loans having an Interest Period of longer than six months without the consent of such Lender;

168

     (vii) amend, modify or waive (x) any provision of Section 3 without the consent of each Issuing Lender or (y) the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any L/C Obligation without the written consent of the Issuing Lender with respect thereto and each affected L/C Participant;
     (viii) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Canadian Borrowing Base or U.S. Borrowing Base, or make any change to the definition of “Borrowing Base” (by adding additional categories or components thereof), “Eligible Accounts”, “Eligible Rental Fleet”, “Eligible Inventory”, “Eligible Unbilled Accounts” or “Net Orderly Liquidation Value” that would have the effect of increasing the amount of the Canadian Borrowing Base or the U.S. Borrowing Base, reduce the Dollar amount set forth in the definition of “Dominion Event” or “Liquidity Event”, or increase the maximum amount of permitted Agent Advances under subsection 2.2(d) (which, when aggregated with all other Extensions of Credit made hereunder, shall under no circumstance exceed the aggregate RCF Commitments) in each case, without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders;
     (ix) amend, modify or waive the order of application of payments set forth in the last sentence of subsection 4.4(a), 4.4(e), 4.8(a) or 4.16(e) hereof, in each case without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders; or

          (b) Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this subsection 11.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, each of the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
          (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Credit Agreement Parties (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time

169


 

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 existing Facilities and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof; provided that any Indebtedness owing pursuant to each such additional facility shall be included in the Availability Reserves against the U.S. Borrowing Base and/or the Canadian Borrowing Base, as applicable, (y) to include, as appropriate, the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Facility hereunder and (z) to provide class protection for any additional credit facilities in a manner consistent with those provided the original Facilities pursuant to the provisions of subsection 11.1(a) as originally in effect.
          (d) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as contemplated by subsection 11.1(a), the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender, as applicable, is required and the consent of the Required Lenders at such time is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) then the Parent Borrower may, on ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative and the Non-Consenting Lender, replace such Non-Consenting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 11.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Parent Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the U.S. Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Parent Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance. In connection with any such replacement under this subsection 11.1(d), if the Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the U.S. Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the U.S. Administrative Agent after the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Parent Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the applicable Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than in accordance with subsection 8.5, none of the Loan Parties 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 any Loan Party 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 subsection 11.6.
          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment and/or Loans, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
     (A) the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that, unless an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, if any Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its affiliates in connection with or in contemplation of the sale or other disposition of its interest in such affiliate, the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent shall be required for such assignment; and

     (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
     (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 Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans 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 U.S. Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (i) in the case of RCF Loans, $5,000,000 or (ii) in the case of Term Loans, $1,000,000, unless the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) or (f) has

174


 

occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of assignments by a Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
     (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the U.S. Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that for concurrent assignments to two or more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid once in respect of and at the time of such assignments;
     (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the U.S. Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire;
     (D) no assignments may be made to any entities identified by the Sponsors to the U.S. Administrative Agent in a separate writing prior to the date hereof; and
     (E) except at any time when (i) an Event of Default exists under subsection 9(a) or (f) or (ii) the outstanding Obligations have been accelerated in accordance with Section 9, any assignment made by a Canadian RCF Lender of its Canadian RCF Commitment shall only be made to an assignee with a Non-Canadian Affiliate.
          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, 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 thereunder 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 (and bound by any related obligations under) subsections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 and 11.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 11.6 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 subsection.
          (iv) The Borrowers hereby designate the U.S. Administrative Agent, and the U.S. Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this subsection 11.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York 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 Commitments of, and interest and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the U.S. Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall 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 Parent Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

175


 

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(ii)(B) of this subsection and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(i) of this subsection, the U.S. Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Parent Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
          (vi) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this subsection 11.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the U.S. Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower marked “cancelled”.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this subsection 11.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing or the Parent Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment.
          (c) (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments 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, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (D) the Credit Agreement Parties, each Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of subsection 11.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) subsections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 and 11.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to subsection 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

176


 

          (ii) No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower and the Parent Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. Any Participant that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 4.11 unless such Participant complies with subsection 4.11(b) and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation.
          (d) Any Lender, without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Administrative Agent, 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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this subsection 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 (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
          (e) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower if it would require the Parent Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.
          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the U.S. Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 11.6(b). Each Borrower, each Lender and the U.S. Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this subsection 11.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this subsection 11.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Parent Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit

177


 

Lender shall, if requested by the Parent Borrower, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void.
          (g) If the Parent Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments under any Facility with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the U.S. Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders under such Facility, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders under such Facility to assign such Loans or Commitments to the U.S. Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with subsection 11.1. Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to subsection 4.12. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders under such Facility shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments under such Facility pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.
          11.7 Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations. (a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 9(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to subsection 4.4, 4.13(d) or 11.6)), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
          (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) to set-off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due and payable under subsection 9(a) by such Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower. Each Lender

178


 

agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the U.S. Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
          11.8 Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this subsection 11.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of the Province of Ontario or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this subsection 11.8 being hereinafter in this subsection 11.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).
          (b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in subsection 11.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this subsection 11.8(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.
          (c) The term “rate of exchange” in this subsection 11.8 means the rate of exchange at which the U.S. Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.
          11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or other electronic transmission (i.e., pdf), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Parent Borrower and each Administrative Agent.
          11.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

179


 

          11.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, any Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

     (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and
     (v) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this subsection any consequential or punitive damages.
          (b) Each Canadian Borrower and Canadian Finco hereby agree to irrevocably and unconditionally appoint an agent for service of process located in The City of New York (the “New York Process Agent”), reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent, as its agent to receive on behalf of such Borrower and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding in any

(a) To the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or Capital Stock in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States or Canada, it is acknowledged that, as of the Closing Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose Capital Stock is pledged, under the Security Documents.
          (b) The Parent Borrower hereby agrees that, following any request by the U.S. Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to do so, the Parent Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take (to the extent they may lawfully do so) such actions (including the

183


 

making of any filings and the delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are reasonably determined by the U.S. Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions.
          11.20 Joint and Several Liability; Postponement of Subrogation. (a) The obligations of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several and, as such, each U.S. Borrower shall be liable for all of the such obligations of each other U.S. Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of each of the Canadian Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several and, as such, each Canadian Borrower shall be liable for all of such obligations of each other Canadian Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. To the fullest extent permitted by law the liability of each Borrower for the obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of the other applicable Borrowers with whom it has joint and several liability shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the obligations hereunder or thereunder or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any applicable Secured Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder; provided that no Borrower hereby waives any suit for breach of a contractual provision of any of the Loan Documents) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by such other applicable Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such other applicable Borrower or such Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such other applicable Borrower for the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or of such Borrower under this Section, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
          (b) Each Borrower agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Agreement, by any payments made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the permanent termination of all Commitments. Any amount paid to any Borrower on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the permanent termination of all Commitments shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties and shall immediately be paid to the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties and credited and applied against the obligations of the applicable Borrowers, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall elect. In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, any Letters of Credit or any Commitments remain outstanding, each Borrower shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against any other Borrower (or any of its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made in respect of the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document of such other Borrower to any Secured

184


 

Party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if a “secured creditor” (as that term is defined under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to include a Person to whom obligations are owed on a joint or joint and several basis, then the Borrowers’ Obligations (and the obligations of their Subsidiaries), to the extent such obligations are secured, only shall be several obligations and not joint or joint and several obligations.
          (c) The obligations of each U.S. Borrower with respect to the Obligations are independent of the obligations of each other Borrower or any Guarantor under its guaranty of such Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower, whether or not any other U.S. Borrower or any such Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. Each U.S. Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any U.S. Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each U.S. Borrower.
          (d) Each of the U.S. Borrowers authorizes the U.S. Administrative Agent and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:
     (i) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other U.S. Borrower or any Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
     (ii) release or substitute any other U.S Borrower, endorsers, Guarantors or other obligors;
     (iii) settle or compromise any of the Obligations of any other U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;
     (iv) apply any sums paid by any other U.S. Borrower or any other Person, howsoever realized or otherwise received to or for the account of such U.S. Borrower to any liability or liabilities of such other U.S. Borrower or other Person regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other U.S. Borrower or other Person remain unpaid; and/or
     (v) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other U.S. Borrower or any other Person.
          (e) It is not necessary for the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder.

185


 

          (f) Each U.S. Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to require the U.S. Administrative Agent or the other Lenders to (i) proceed against any other U.S. Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any U.S. Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the U.S. Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each U.S. Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from any U.S. Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or on or arising out of any defense of any other U.S. Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other U.S. Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other U.S. Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.
          11.21 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition or other proceeding be filed by or against any Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should an interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Loan Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or to be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the obligations, whether as a fraudulent preference, reviewable transaction or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
          11.22 Language. The parties hereto confirm that it is their wish that this Agreement, as well as any other documents relating to this Agreement, including notices, schedules and authorizations, have been and shall be drawn up in the English language only. Les signataires conferment leur volonté que la présente convention, de même que tous les documents s’y rattachant, y compris tout avis, annexe et autorisation, soient rédigés en anglais seulement.
          Section 12. Holdings Guaranty.
          12.1 Guaranty.
          (a) In order to induce the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agents, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, and to induce the other Guarantee Creditors to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Permitted Hedging Arrangements and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the entering into of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Permitted Hedging Arrangements, Holdings hereby agrees with the Guarantee Creditors as follows: Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the

186


 

Guarantor Obligations of the Borrowers to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guarantor Obligations of the Borrowers to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such indebtedness to the applicable Administrative Agent and/or the other applicable Guaranteed Creditors, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agents and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guarantor Obligations. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantor Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Borrower), then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be binding upon Holdings, notwithstanding any revocation of the guarantee contained in this Section 12 or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Borrower, and Holdings shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.
          (b) The guarantee contained in this Section 12 shall remain in full force and effect until the first date on which all the Loans (including the face amount of all Bankers’ Acceptance Loans), any Reimbursement Obligations and the obligations of Holdings under the guarantee contained in this Section 12 then due and owing, in each case, shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (except for Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender) and the Commitment shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement any of the Borrowers may be free from any obligations under the Loan Documents.
          12.2 Bankruptcy. Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guarantor Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in subsection 9(f), and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, on demand, in lawful money of the United States, or Canada, as applicable.
          12.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of Holdings hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guarantor Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Holdings hereunder shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Borrower or by any other party (other than a direction that results in the payment in full of the Guarantor Obligations), or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guarantor Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking (other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations to the extent of such payment), or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Borrower, or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guarantor

187


 

Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction by the Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in subsection 12.05, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Guarantor Obligations or of any security therefor.
          12.4 Independent Obligation. The obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Holdings.
          12.5 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Holdings shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Holdings and without notice to or further assent by Holdings, any demand for payment of any of the Guarantor Obligations made by the applicable Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor may be rescinded by the such Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Creditor and any of the Guarantor Obligations continued, and the Guarantor Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, waived, modified, accelerated, compromised, subordinated, waived, surrendered or released by the applicable Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, waived, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the applicable Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or the applicable Lender(s), as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the applicable Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor for the payment of any of the Guarantor Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of the applicable Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent and each other Guaranteed Creditor shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for any of the Guarantor Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 12 or any property subject thereto, except to the extent required by applicable law.
          12.6 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guarantor Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

188


 

          12.7 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by Holdings hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of Holdings by either Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor, Holdings shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agents or any other Guaranteed Creditor against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agents or any other Guaranteed Creditor for the payment of the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall Holdings seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by Holdings hereunder, until all amounts owing to either Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors by the Borrowers on account of the Guarantor Obligations are paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (except for Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender) and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to Holdings on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (except for Letters of Credit that have provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender) or any of the Commitments shall remain in effect, such amount shall be held by Holdings in trust for the applicable Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditor, segregated from other funds of Holdings, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Holdings, be turned over to the applicable Administrative Agent in the exact form received by Holdings (duly indorsed by Holdings to the applicable Administrative Agent if required), to be held as collateral security for all of the Guarantor Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) guaranteed by Holdings and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied against any Guarantor Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the applicable Administrative Agent may determine.
          12.8 Waiver. (a) Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower, Holdings, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations to the extent of such payment. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder except to the extent the Guarantor Obligations have been paid. Holdings waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against any Borrower or any other party or any security.

189


 

          (b) Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 12, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guarantor Obligations. Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantor Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the applicable Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have any duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.
          12.9 Payments. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made in Dollars and will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of subsections 4.8 and 4.11.
          12.10 Maximum Liability. It is the desire and intent of Holdings and the Guaranteed Creditors that the guarantee contained in this Section 12 shall be enforced against Holdings to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of Holdings under the guarantee contained in this Section 12 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of Holdings’ obligations under the guarantee contained in this Section 12 shall be deemed to be reduced and Holdings shall pay the maximum amount of the Guarantor Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

Schedule 5.9: Intellectual Property Claims
  A.   Certain agreements with third parties require the consent of the other party to a change of ownership. In addition, unless RSC obtains a waiver, its development license agreement with Wynne Systems, Inc. to implement proprietary changes to our enterprise resource management software system can be terminated on six month’s notice as a result of the change in ownership. If RSC fails to obtain any required consent or waiver, the applicable third parties, including Wynne Systems, Inc. could seek to terminate their agreements with RSC, and, as a result, RSC’s ability to conduct its business could be impaired until RSC is able to enter into replacement agreements, which could result in a Material Adverse Effect on RSC’s results of operations or financial condition; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that as of the Closing Date RSC believes no claim arising from failure to obtain such a consent or waiver from Wynn Systems, Inc. (i) has been filed or (ii) would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

1.   Long Beach, California: possible release from underground storage tank.
 
2.   Los Angeles, California: possible release from underground storage tank.
 
3.   1113 Sheppard Access Road, Wichita Falls, Texas:
 
    Hydrocarbon impact resulted from an underground storage tank and previous petroleum refining activities on site. The site has extensive near surface tar contamination from former refining activities. There is also evidence of a petroleum release from the tanks but the petroleum products have commingled.
 
    The RSC property in Wichita Falls, Texas became affected from historical oil refinery releases from possibly as early as 1921. The RSC property is a small parcel of a former refinery property that operated from 1921 until 1928. The property contains two formerly separate tracks of property. Track 1 contains the western portion of the property and is 2.79 acres, and Track 2 contains the eastern portion of the property and is 1.33 acres. Other oilfield service operations were listed as owners of tracts of the property up until 1961. The release was first observed by on-site personnel in 1989. Various assessments of the property have been conducted at the site from 1989 to present, indicating impacts to surface soil, subsurface soil and groundwater. Surface soil, subsurface soil, and groundwater may be affected beyond the subject property boundary. The COCs suspected to be present on the adjacent properties did not result from activity at RSC property; rather they appear to be present due to the historic refinery operations and subsequent operations on the adjacent properties. Groundwater is present under confined conditions at a depth of approximately 10-15 feet below ground surface. Other than manual recovery of Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (LNAPL) present in monitor wells, no response action has taken place to date.
 
    Concentrations of metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) are present in surface soil and subsurface soil above Protective Concentrations Levels (PCLs) established by the Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP). Concentrations of metals, VOCs, and PAHs are present in groundwater above PCLs. The PCL Exceedance zones for each media generally cover the entire site. A remedy is required for surface soil and groundwater. Black vitreous material and/or black staining is present in surface soil generally from 0 to 2 feet bgs across the site. PAH concentrations are above direct contact (TotSoilComb) PCLs in surface soils. LNAPL is present in pore spaces in subsurface soil. All monitor wells at the site contain COCs above PCLs

Schedule 5.18
to Credit Agreement
    To address the surface soil impact, the detailed estimate includes removal of PAH-affected soil. RSC is also examining a capping or paving alternative to isolate these impacted soils from direct contact. The site is being addressed under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s (TCEQ’s) Corrective Action Section. RSC negotiated appropriate investigation and response actions with TCEQ. This included a series of groundwater wells located on the edge of the property, a well down gradient and a well up gradient. The groundwater wells were installed indicating no up gradient source of groundwater contamination and no migration of the plume down gradient as well. In response to TCEQ, RSC is currently seeking further access to additional offsite locations to complete the site investigation.
 
    RSC is also investigating alternative solutions for addressing the potential contamination including:
  a.   Seeking reclassification the property under U.S. EPA Brownfield Program;
 
  b.   Requesting deed restrictions from TECQ to limit possible future use to non-residential light industrial/industrial only classification;
 
  c.   Identifying other PRP’s that may be enjoined to assist in any required remediation.

          (c) The Second-Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second-Lien Creditors, and each other Second-Lien Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), (i) agrees that the Second-Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second-Lien Creditors will not take any action that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the First-Lien Loan Documents, including any collection, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or Security Document or subordinate the priority of the First-Lien Obligations to the Second-Lien Obligations or grant the Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations equal ranking to the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations and (ii) hereby waives any and all rights it or the Second-Lien Creditors may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise (whether arising under the UCC or under any other law) to object to the manner in which any First-Lien Collateral Agent or the other First-Lien Creditors seek to enforce or collect the First-Lien Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the First-Lien Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any First-Lien Collateral Agent or First-Lien Creditors is adverse to the interest of the Second-Lien Creditors.
          (d) The Second-Lien Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second-Lien Security Documents or any other Second-Lien Loan Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of any First-Lien Collateral Agent or the other First-Lien Creditors with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First-Lien Loan Documents.

So long as the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has not occurred, any proceeds of any Collateral pursuant to the enforcement of any Security Document or the exercise of any remedial provision thereunder, together with all other proceeds received by any Creditor (including all funds received in respect of post-petition interest or fees and expenses) as a result of any such enforcement or the exercise of any such remedial provision or as a result of any distribution of or in respect of any Collateral (whether or not expressly characterized as such) upon or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor, or the application of any Collateral (or proceeds thereof) to the payment thereof or any distribution of Collateral (or proceeds thereof) upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Grantor, shall be applied by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent to the First-Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First-Lien Security Document. Upon the Discharge of the First-Lien Obligations, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent any proceeds of Collateral held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent to the Second-Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the Second-Lien Security Documents.
          4.2 Payments Over. Until such time as the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, any Collateral or proceeds thereof (together with assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3 hereof) (or any distribution in


 

Page 15

respect of the Collateral, whether or not expressly characterized as such) received by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditors in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Collateral or otherwise that is inconsistent with this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First-Lien Creditors in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any such other Second-Lien Creditors. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
          SECTION 5. Other Agreements.
          5.1 Releases.
          (a) If, in connection with:
               (i) the exercise of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral provided for in Section 3.1 hereof, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such Collateral (any of the foregoing, a “Remedial Action”);
               (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (any of the foregoing, a “Disposition”) of any Collateral permitted under the terms of the First-Lien Loan Documents (whether or not an “event of default” thereunder or under any Second-Lien Loan Document has occurred and is continuing); or
               (iii) any agreement (not contravening the First-Lien Loan Documents) between the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor (x) to release the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent’s Lien on any portion of the Collateral (other than in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Discharge of First-Lien Credit Agreement Obligations or a Discharge of First-Lien Obligations) or (y) to release any Grantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First-Lien Obligations (other than in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Discharge of First-Lien Credit Agreement Obligations or a Discharge of First-Lien Obligations);
there occurs the release by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, acting on its own or at the direction of the Required First-Lien Creditors, of any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or of any Grantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First-Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Second-Lien Creditors, on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Grantor under its guaranty of the Second-Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Second-Lien Creditors, promptly shall execute and deliver to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release; provided however that if an “event of default” then exists under the Second-Lien Credit Agreement and the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations occurs concurrently with any such release, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Second-Lien Creditors) shall be entitled to receive the residual cash or cash


 

Page 16

equivalents (if any) remaining after giving effect to such release and the Discharge of the First-Lien Obligations.
          (b) Until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations occurs, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second-Lien Creditors, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or such other Second-Lien Creditor or in the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
          (c) If, prior to the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, a subordination of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent’s Lien on any Collateral is permitted (or in good faith believed by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent to be permitted) under the First-Lien Credit Agreement to another Lien permitted under the First-Lien Credit Agreement (a “Priority Lien”), then the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver a subordination agreement with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second-Lien Creditors, shall promptly execute and deliver to such First-Lien Collateral Agent or the relevant Grantor an identical subordination agreement subordinating the Liens of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second-Lien Creditors to such Priority Lien.
          5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required First-Lien Creditors) shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First-Lien Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First-Lien Security Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First-Lien Creditors pursuant to the terms of the First-Lien Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of commitments, letters of credit and Hedging Agreements) and, after the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second-Lien Creditors to the extent required under the Second-Lien Security Documents and then, to the extent no Second-Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditors shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

          5.3 Amendments to First-Lien Loan Documents and Second-Lien Loan Documents.
          (a) The First-Lien Loan Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the First-Lien Credit Agreement may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or the other Second-Lien Creditors, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing of the First-Lien Credit Agreement shall not, without the consent of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent increase the maximum aggregate principal of Loans and stated amount of Letters of Credit thereunder to an amount in excess of the Cap Amount.
          (b) Without the prior written consent of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required First-Lien Creditors), no Second-Lien Loan Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second-Lien Loan Document, would contravene the provisions of this Agreement or any First-Lien Loan Document. Each of Holdings, the Parent Borrower and each other Guarantor agrees that each Second-Lien Security Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 27, 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among RSC Holdings II, LLC, RSC Holdings III, LLC, Rental Service Corporation, each other Grantor party thereto from time to time, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“DBNY”), as U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and DBNY, as Second-Lien Collateral Agent and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”
In addition, each of Holdings, the Parent Borrower and each other Grantor agrees that each Second-Lien Security Document covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Second-Lien Security Document to the First-Lien Security Document covering such Collateral.
          (c) In the event the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or the other First-Lien Creditors and the relevant Grantor(s) enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First-Lien Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First-Lien Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, the other First-Lien Creditors, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the


 

Page 18

Second-Lien Credit Agreement and the Comparable Second-Lien Security Document without the consent of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or the other Second-Lien Creditors and without any action by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets subject to the Lien of the Second-Lien Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 5.1 of this Agreement, (ii) imposing additional duties on the Second-Lien Collateral Agent without its consent, or (iii) permitting other liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second-Lien Loan Documents or Section 6 hereof and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent (although the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any such amendment, waiver or consent).
          5.4 Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second-Lien Creditors may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor that has guaranteed the Second-Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Second-Lien Loan Documents and applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditors of the required payments of interest and principal on the Second-Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. In the event the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing First-Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such First-Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First-Lien Collateral Agents or the other First-Lien Creditors may have with respect to the First-Lien Collateral.
          5.5 Bailee for Perfection.
          (a) The U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent agrees to acquire and acknowledges it holds the Pledged Collateral or other Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the First-Lien Loan Documents and the Second-Lien Loan Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.
          (b) Until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First-Lien Loan Documents as if the Liens of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent under the Second-Lien Security Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent’s rights under the First-Lien Loan Documents.


 

Page 19

          (c) The U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First-Lien Creditors and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any Second-Lien Creditor to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.5.
          (d) The U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not have by reason of the First-Lien Security Documents, the Second-Lien Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the First-Lien Creditors, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor.
          (e) Upon the Discharge of the First-Lien Obligations, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) (or proceeds thereof) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, if any Second-Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the Parent Borrower or the relevant Grantor if no First-Lien Obligations or Second-Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person in connection with such Person’s obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
          5.6 When Discharge of First-Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If at any time after the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor immediately thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First-Lien Loan Document evidencing a First-Lien Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby, then such Discharge of First-Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under such Refinancing First-Lien Loan Document shall automatically be treated as First-Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the first-lien collateral agent under such First-Lien Loan Documents shall be the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor has entered into a new First-Lien Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the Second-Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor or such New Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement.
          5.7 Option to Purchase First-Lien Debt. (a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the First-Lien Creditors, any Person or Persons (in each case who must meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant First-Lien Loan Documents) at any time or from time to time designated by the holders of more than 50% in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Second-Lien Obligations as being entitled to exercise all default purchase options as to the Second-Lien Obligations then outstanding (an “Eligible Purchaser”) shall have the right to purchase by way of assignment (and shall thereby also assume all


 

Page 20

commitments and duties of the First-Lien Creditors), at any time during the exercise period described in clause (c) below of this Section 5.7, all, but not less than all, of the First-Lien Obligations (other than the First-Lien Obligations of a Defaulting Creditor), including all principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of all First-Lien Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase; provided that at the time of (and as a condition to) any purchase pursuant to this Section 5.7, all commitments pursuant to any then outstanding First-Lien Credit Agreement shall have terminated and all Hedging Agreements constituting First-Lien Documents shall also have been terminated in accordance with their terms. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 5.7(a) shall be made as follows:
          (1) for (x) a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) in the case of all loans, advances or other similar extensions of credit that constitute First-Lien Obligations (including unreimbursed amounts drawn in respect of Letters of Credit, but excluding the undrawn amount of then outstanding Letters of Credit), the greater of (I) 100% and (II) the then current market-based price, of the principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (without regard, however, to any acceleration prepayment penalties or premiums other than customary breakage costs), (B) in the case of any Hedging Agreement, the aggregate amount then owing to each counter party in respect of such Hedging Agreement thereunder pursuant to the terms of the respective Hedging Agreement, as the case may be, including without limitation all amounts owing to such counter party as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof plus (C) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts through the date of purchase; and (y) an obligation on the part of the respective Eligible Purchasers (which shall be expressly provided in the assignment documentation described below) to (i) reimburse each issuing lender (or any First-Lien Creditor required to pay same) for all amounts thereafter drawn with respect to any Letters of Credit constituting First-Lien Obligations which remain outstanding after the date of any purchase pursuant to this Section 5.7, together with all facing fees and other amounts which may at any future time be owing to the respective issuing lender with respect to such Letters of Credit, and (ii) pay over to the First-Lien Creditors any amounts recovered by such Eligible Purchasers on account of any acceleration prepayment premiums or penalties with respect to the First-Lien Obligations;
          (2) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(1)(x) payable in cash on the date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers (without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever, whether as to the enforceability of any First-Lien Obligation or the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or other supporting obligation for, any First-Lien Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever, except the representation and warranty that the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances (other than participation interests not prohibited by the First-Lien Credit Agreement, in which case the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(1)(x) shall be appropriately adjusted so that the Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers do not pay amounts represented by any participation interest which remains in effect), and has the right to convey, whatever claims and interests it may have in respect of the First-Lien Obligations); provided that the purchase price in respect of any


 

Page 21

outstanding Letter of Credit that remains undrawn on the date of purchase shall be payable in cash as and when such Letter of Credit is drawn upon (i) first, from the cash collateral account described in clause (a)(3) below, until the amounts contained therein have been exhausted, and (ii) thereafter, directly by the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers;
          (3) with such purchase accompanied by a deposit of cash collateral under the sole dominion and control of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or its designee in an amount equal to 110% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to the First-Lien Loan Documents and the aggregate facing and similar fees which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the Letters of Credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), as security for the respective Eligible Purchaser’s or Eligible Purchasers’ obligation to pay amounts as provided in preceding clause (a)(1)(y), it being understood and agreed that (x) at the time any facing or similar fees are owing to an issuer with respect to any Letter of Credit, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent may apply amounts deposited with it as described above to pay same and (y) upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent shall apply amounts deposited with it as described above to repay the respective unpaid drawing. After giving effect to any payment made as described above in this clause (3), those amounts (if any) then on deposit with the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent as described in this clause (3) which exceed 110% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate facing and similar fees (to the respective issuers) which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the then outstanding Letters of Credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), shall be returned to the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers (as their interests appear). Furthermore, at such time as all Letters of Credit have been cancelled, expired or been fully drawn, as the case may be, and after all applications described above have been made, any excess cash collateral deposited as described above in this clause (3) (and not previously applied or released as provided above) shall be returned to the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers, as their interests appear;
          (4) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(1)(x) accompanied by a waiver by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Creditors) of all claims arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as a result of exercising the purchase option contemplated by this Section 5.7;
          (5) with all amounts payable to the various First-Lien Creditors in respect of the assignments described above to be distributed to them by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with their respective holdings of the various First-Lien Obligations; and
          (6) with such purchase to be made pursuant to assignment documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by counsel for, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent (with the cost of such counsel to be paid by the Grantors or, if the Grantors do not make such payment, by the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible


 

Page 22

Purchasers, who shall have the right to obtain reimbursement of same from the Grantors); it being understood and agreed that the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and each other First-Lien Creditor shall retain all rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant First-Lien Loan Documents for all periods prior to any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.7 (although the security interests securing same shall, following such purchase, be subordinated to the security interest of the Eligible Purchasers making such purchase). The relevant assignment documentation shall also provide that, if for any reason (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment)), the amount of cash collateral held by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or its designee pursuant to preceding clause (a)(3) is at any time less than the full amounts owing with respect to any Letter of Credit described above (including facing and similar fees) then the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers shall promptly reimburse the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent (who shall pay the respective issuing bank) the amount of deficiency.
          (b) The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 5.7(a) above shall be exercisable and legally enforceable upon at least seven Business Days’ prior written notice of exercise (which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and fully binding on the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers) given to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent by an Eligible Purchaser. Neither the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First-Lien Creditor shall have any disclosure obligation to any Eligible Purchaser, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor in connection with any exercise of such purchase option.
          (c) The right to purchase the First-Lien Obligations as described in this Section 5.7 may be exercised (by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding clause (b)) during the period that (1) begins on the date occurring three Business Days after the first to occur of (x) the date of the acceleration of the final maturity of the Loans under the First-Lien Credit Agreement, (y) the occurrence of the final maturity of the Loans under the First-Lien Credit Agreement or (z) the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to a First-Lien Borrower (other than RSC Canada or any other Borrower that is incorporated in Canada or a province thereof) which constitutes an event of default under the First-Lien Credit Agreement (in each case, so long as the acceleration, failure to pay amounts due at final maturity or such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding constituting an event of default has not been rescinded or cured within such 10 Business Day Period, and so long as any unpaid amounts constituting First-Lien Obligations remain owing); provided that if there is any failure to meet the condition described in the proviso of preceding clause (a) hereof, the aforementioned date shall be extended until the first date upon which such condition is satisfied and (2) ends on the 90th day after the start of the period described in clause (1) above.
          (d) The obligations of the First-Lien Creditors to sell their respective First-Lien Obligations under this Section 5.7 are several and not joint and several. To the extent any First-Lien Creditor (a “Defaulting Creditor”) breaches its obligation to sell its First-Lien Obligations under this Section 5.7, nothing in this Section 5.7 shall be deemed to require the First-Lien Collateral Agent or any other First-Lien Creditor to purchase such Defaulting Creditor’s First-Lien Obligations for resale to the holders of Second-Lien Obligations and in all


 

Page 23

cases, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and each First-Lien Creditor complying with the terms of this Section 5.7 shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any Defaulting Creditor; provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall require any Eligible Purchaser to purchase less than all of the First-Lien Obligations.
          (e) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Eligible Purchasers pursuant to this Section 5.7 (so long as they meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant First-Lien Loan Documents, other than obtaining the consent of any Grantor to an assignment to the extent required by such First-Lien Loan Documents) for purposes of all First-Lien Loan Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent from such Grantor shall be required.
          SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
          6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. (a) If the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required First-Lien Creditors) shall desire to permit the use of Cash Collateral (as defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) on which the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or any other creditor of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor has a Lien or to permit the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing (including on a priming basis), whether from the First-Lien Creditors or any other third party under Section 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law (each, a “Post-Petition Financing”), then the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Creditors, and each other Second-Lien Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees that it will not oppose or raise any objection to or contest, or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting (and each Second-Lien Creditor hereby shall be deemed to have consented to), such use of Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed in writing by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3 hereof) and, to the extent the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such Post-Petition Financing, its Liens on the Collateral shall be deemed to be subordinated, without any further action on the part of any person or entity, to the Liens securing such Post-Petition Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), and the Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations shall have the same priority with respect to the Collateral relative to the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations as if such Post-Petition Financing had not occurred.
          (b) The Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Creditors, and each other Second-Lien Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees that it will raise no objection to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting), a sale or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the First-Lien Creditors have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets.

          6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Creditors, and each other Second-Lien Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees that none of them shall seek relief, pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent.
          6.3 Adequate Protection. The Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Creditors, and each other Second-Lien Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees that none of them shall (i) oppose, object to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting) (a) any request by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or the other First-Lien Creditors for adequate protection in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (or any granting of such request) or (b) any objection by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or the other First-Lien Creditors to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or the other First-Lien Creditors claiming a lack of adequate protection or (ii) seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any of Sections 362, 363 and/or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent that, in the sole discretion of the First-Lien Creditors, the receipt by the Second-Lien Creditors of any such adequate protection would not reduce (or would not have the effect of reducing) or adversely affect the adequate protection that the First-Lien Creditors otherwise would be entitled to receive (it being understood that, in any event, (A) no adequate protection shall be requested or accepted by the Second-Lien Creditors or by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent on their behalf unless the First-Lien Creditors are satisfied in their sole discretion with the adequate protection afforded to the First-Lien Creditors, and (B) any such adequate protection is in the form of a replacement Lien on the Grantors’ assets, such Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations (including any replacement Liens granted in respect of the First-Lien Obligations) and any Post-Petition Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First-Lien Obligations under this Agreement.
          6.4 No Waiver; Voting Rights. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or any First-Lien Creditor from objecting on any basis in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor, including the seeking by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor of adequate protection or the assertion by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditors of any of its rights and remedies under the Second-Lien Loan Documents or otherwise. In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither the Second-Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second-Lien Creditor shall (i) oppose, object to, or vote against any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement, or join with or support any third party in doing so, to the extent the terms of such plan or disclosure statement comply with the following clause (ii) and are otherwise consistent with the rights of the First-Lien Creditors under this Agreement or (ii) support or vote for any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement of any Grantor unless (x) such plan provides for the payment in full in cash of all First-Lien Obligations (including all post-petition interest, fees and


 

Page 25

expenses as provided in Section 6.6 hereof) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, or (y) such plan provides on account of the First-Lien Obligations for the retention by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the First-Lien Creditors, of the Liens on the Collateral securing the First-Lien Obligations, and on all proceeds thereof, and such plan also provides that any Liens retained by, or granted to, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent are only on assets or property securing the First-Lien Obligations and shall have the same relative priority with respect to the Collateral or other assets or property, respectively, as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral, and to the extent such plan provides for deferred cash payments, or for the distribution of any other property of any kind or nature, on account of the First-Lien Obligations or the Second-Lien Obligations, such plan provides that any such deferred cash payments or other distributions in respect of the Second-Lien Obligations shall be delivered to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and distributed in accordance with the priorities provided in Section 4.1(a) hereof, it being understood that, in the event that any plan is proposed by any debtor, creditor, or other party in interest in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding that is inconsistent with or purports to alter the provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 4.1(a) hereof and the priority of application of the proceeds of Collateral set forth therein), the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been granted, as of the date hereof, an irrevocable power of attorney to vote the claims of the Second-Lien Creditors against any such plan, with such appointment being coupled with an interest, and the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed the “holder” of such claims within the meaning of Section 1126(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as provided in this Section 6, the Second-Lien Creditors shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
          6.5 Preference Issues. If any First-Lien Creditor is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”), then the First-Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the First-Lien Creditors shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First-Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any Second-Lien Creditor on account of the Second-Lien Obligations after the termination of this Agreement shall, in the event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.5, be held in trust for and paid over to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First-Lien Creditors, for application to the reinstated First-Lien Obligations. This Section 6.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
          6.6 Post-Petition Interest.
          (a) Neither the Second-Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second-Lien Creditor shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or any First-Lien Creditor for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First-Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses. Regardless of whether any such claim for post-petition interest, fees or expenses is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is


 

Page 26

intended to include and does include the “rule of explicitness” in that this Agreement expressly entitles the First-Lien Creditors, and is intended to provide the First-Lien Creditors with the right, to receive payment of all post-petition interest, fees or expenses through distributions made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such interest, fees and expenses are not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor under Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law.
          (b) Without limiting the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that (and to the maximum extent permitted by law the parties hereto agree that) the First-Lien Obligations (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class (and separate and distinct claims) from the Second-Lien Obligations (and the security therefor).
          6.7 Waiver. The Second-Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second-Lien Creditors, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First-Lien Creditor arising out of the election by any First-Lien Creditor of the application to the claims of any First-Lien Creditor of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
          6.8 Limitations. So long as the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has not occurred, without the express written consent of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, none of the Second-Lien Creditors shall (or shall join with or support any third party making, opposing, objecting or contesting, as the case may be), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, (i) make an election for application to its claims of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of any Liens held by any of the First-Lien Creditors or the value of any claims of First-Lien Creditors under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) oppose, object to or contest the payment to the First-Lien Creditors of interest, fees or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.
          SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.
          7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First-Lien Creditors under the First-Lien Loan Documents, acknowledges that it and the other First-Lien Creditors have, independently and without reliance on the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such First-Lien Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under any First-Lien Document and this Agreement. The Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Creditors, acknowledges that it and the Second-Lien Creditors have, independently and without reliance on the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or any other First-Lien Creditor, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the Second-Lien Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will

          7.2 No Warranties or Liability. The U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First-Lien Creditors under the First-Lien Documents, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second-Lien Creditors have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Second-Lien Loan Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Second-Lien Creditors will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Second-Lien Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Creditors, acknowledges and agrees that each of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and the other First-Lien Creditors have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the First-Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon.

The Second-Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second-Lien Creditors shall have no duty to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or any of the other First-Lien Creditors, and the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and the other First-Lien Creditors shall have no duty to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any of the other Second-Lien Creditors, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor (including under the First-Lien Documents and the Second-Lien Loan Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.
          7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.
          (a) No right of the First-Lien Creditors, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First-Lien Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any First-Lien Creditor or the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First-Lien Documents or any of the Second-Lien Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or the other First-Lien Creditors, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.
          (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Parent Borrower, RSC Canada and the other Grantors under the First-Lien Documents), the First-Lien Creditors, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the First-Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor, without incurring any liabilities to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and

          (i) make loans and advances to any Grantor or issue, guaranty or obtain letters of credit for account of any Grantor or otherwise extend credit to any Grantor, in any amount and on any terms, whether pursuant to a commitment or as a discretionary advance and whether or not any default or event of default or failure of condition is then continuing;
          (ii) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the First-Lien Obligations or any Lien on any First-Lien Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the First-Lien Obligations, without any restriction as to the amount, tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the First-Lien Collateral Agents or any of the First-Lien Creditors, the First-Lien Obligations or any of the First-Lien Documents;
          (iii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the First-Lien Collateral or any liability of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor to the First-Lien Creditors or the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

Page 29

the Second-Lien Loan Documents), agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.
          7.4 Waiver of Liability; Indemnity.
          (a) The Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Creditors, also agrees that the First-Lien Creditors and the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent shall have no liability to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditors, and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second-Lien Creditors, hereby waives any claim against any First-Lien Creditor or the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, arising out of any and all actions which the First-Lien Creditors or the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to: (i) the First-Lien Documents (including, without limitation, any failure to perfect or obtain perfected security interests in the First-Lien Collateral), (ii) the collection of the First-Lien Obligations or (iii) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, any First-Lien Collateral. The Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Creditors, agrees that the First-Lien Creditors and the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent have no duty, express or implied, fiduciary or otherwise, to them in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the First-Lien Collateral, the First-Lien Obligations or otherwise.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Second-Lien Creditor by accepting the benefits of the Second-Lien Security Documents agrees that neither the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First-Lien Creditor (in directing the Collateral Agent to take any action with respect to the Collateral) shall have any duty or obligation to realize first upon any type of Collateral or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral in any manner, including as a result of the application of the principles of marshaling or otherwise, that would maximize the return to any class of Creditors holding Obligations of any type (whether First-Lien Obligations or Second-Lien Obligations), notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by such class of Creditors from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation.
          (b) With respect to its share of the Obligations, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Bank”) shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder as, and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for, any other Creditor, all as if Bank were not the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or the Second-Lien Collateral Agent. The term “Creditors” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Bank in its individual capacity as a Creditor. Bank and its affiliates may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Grantors or any of

their Affiliates as if Bank were not acting as the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or Second-Lien Collateral Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any other Creditor.

All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and the other First-Lien Creditors and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second-Lien Creditors, respectively, hereunder (including the Lien priorities established hereby) shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

          (d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor; or
          (e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the First-Lien Obligations, or of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any Second-Lien Creditor in respect of this Agreement.
          SECTION 8. Miscellaneous.
          8.1 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the First-Lien Documents or the Second-Lien Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.
          8.2 Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the First-Lien Creditors may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor constituting First-Lien Obligations in reliance hereon. The Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Creditors, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to constitute and shall be deemed to


 

Page 31

constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and is intended to be and shall be interpreted to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable nonbankruptcy law. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor shall include the Parent Borrower or such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, (i) with respect to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, the other Second-Lien Creditors and the Second-Lien Obligations, upon the later of (1) the date upon which the obligations under the Second-Lien Credit Agreement terminate if there are no other Second-Lien Obligations outstanding on such date and (2) if there are other Second-Lien Obligations outstanding on such date, the date upon which such Second-Lien Obligations terminate and (ii) with respect to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent, the other First-Lien Creditors and the First-Lien Obligations, the date of the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the First-Lien Creditors under Section 6.5.
          8.3 Amendments; Waivers.

Each waiver of the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall not impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights, interests, liabilities or privileges are directly affected.
          8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. The U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and the First-Lien Creditors, on the one hand, and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second-Lien Creditors, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the First-Lien Obligations or the Second-Lien Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First-Lien Obligations or the Second-Lien Obligations. The U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent and the other First-Lien Creditors shall have no duty to advise the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second-Lien Creditor of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise.

Each of Holdings, the Parent Borrower and each other Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or the other Second-Lien Creditors and paid over to the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent or the other First-Lien Creditors pursuant to, and applied in accordance with, this Agreement, shall not relieve or reduce any of the Obligations owed by the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor under the Second-Lien Loan Documents.

ARTICLE III
ENFORCEMENT
     Section 3.1 Remedies
     The Secured Parties and the Canadian Collateral Agent are not bound to exhaust their recourse against any Canadian Borrower or any other Person or realize on any security they may hold in respect of the Borrower Obligations of any Canadian Borrower before being entitled to (i) enforce payment and performance under this Agreement or (ii) pursue any other remedy against the Guarantor, and the Guarantor renounces all benefits of discussion and division.
     Section 3.2 Amount of Borrower Obligations
     Any account settled or stated by or between the Canadian Collateral Agent and any Canadian Borrower, or if any such account has not been settled or stated immediately before demand for payment under this Agreement, any account stated by the Canadian Collateral Agent shall, in the absence of manifest mathematical error, be accepted by the Guarantor as conclusive evidence of the amount of the Borrower Obligations which is due by such Canadian Borrower to the Secured Parties and the Canadian Collateral Agent or remains unpaid by such Canadian Borrower to the Secured Parties and the Canadian Collateral Agent.
     Section 3.3 Payment on Demand
     The Guarantor will pay and perform the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by it hereunder and pay all other amounts payable by it to the Secured Parties or the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the obligation to do so arises, immediately after demand for such payment or performance is made in writing to it. The liability of the Guarantor bears interest from the date of such demand at the rate or rates of interest then applicable to the Borrower Obligations under and calculated in the manner provided in the Loan Documents or any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Permitted Hedging Agreement, as the case may be (including any adjustment to give effect to the provisions of the Interest Act (Canada)).
     Section 3.4 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification
     (a) The Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Canadian Collateral Agent for all their respective reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting against the Guarantor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement against the Guarantor and the other Loan Documents to which the Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Secured Parties, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent.
     (b) The Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, (x) any and all liabilities, costs, losses and expenses of whatever kind with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying any and all Other Taxes and (y) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), in each case to the

 


 

extent the Canadian Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 11.5 of the Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising from gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.
     (c) The agreements in this Section 3.4 shall survive repayment of the Borrower Obligations and all other amounts payable by the Canadian Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
     Section 3.5 [Assignment and Postponement
     (a) All obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the Canadian Borrowers to the Guarantor of any nature whatsoever and all security therefor (the “Intercorporate Indebtedness”) are assigned and transferred to the Canadian Collateral Agent as continuing and collateral security for the Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement and postponed to the payment in full of all Borrower Obligations guaranteed hereunder. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, the Guarantor may receive payments in respect of the Intercorporate Indebtedness as permitted under the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor will not assign all or any part of the Intercorporate Indebtedness to any Person other than, or as permitted by, the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties.
     (b) Upon notice by the Canadian Collateral Agent to the Guarantor that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Intercorporate Indebtedness will be held in trust for the Secured Parties and the Canadian Collateral Agent and will be collected, enforced or proved subject to, and for the purpose of, this Agreement. In such event, any payments received by the Guarantor in respect of the Intercorporate Indebtedness will be held in trust for the Secured Parties and the Canadian Collateral Agent and segregated from other funds and property held by the Guarantor and immediately paid to the Canadian Collateral Agent on account of the Borrower Obligations guaranteed hereunder.
     (c) The Intercorporate Indebtedness shall not be released or withdrawn by the Guarantor without the prior written consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent. The Guarantor will not allow a limitation period to expire on the Intercorporate Indebtedness or ask for or obtain any security or negotiable paper for, or other evidence of, the Intercorporate Indebtedness except for the purpose of delivering the same to the Canadian Collateral Agent.
     (d) In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceeding involving the liquidation, arrangement, compromise, reorganization or other relief with respect to any Canadian Borrower or its debts, the Guarantor will, upon the request of the Canadian Collateral Agent, make and present a proof of claim or commence such other proceedings against such Canadian Borrower on account of the Intercorporate Indebtedness as may be reasonably necessary to establish the Guarantor’s entitlement to payment of any Intercorporate Indebtedness. Such proof of claim or other proceeding must be made or commenced prior to the earlier of (i) the day which is 30 days after notice requesting such action is delivered by or on behalf of the Canadian Collateral Agent to the Guarantor and (ii) the day which is 10 days preceding the date when such proof of claim or other proceeding is required by applicable law to

 


 

be made or commenced. Such proof of claim or other proceeding must be in form and substance acceptable to the Canadian Collateral Agent.
     (e) If the Guarantor fails to make and file such proof of claim or commence such other proceeding in accordance with this Section, the Canadian Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized, empowered and directed and appointed the true and lawful attorney of the Guarantor (but is not obliged) with the power to exercise for and on behalf of the Guarantor the following rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) to make and present for and on behalf of the Guarantor proofs of claims or other such proceedings against the Canadian Borrowers on account of the Intercompany Indebtedness, (ii) to demand, sue for, receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made in respect of the Intercompany Indebtedness in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply the same on account of the Borrower Obligations, and (iii) to demand, sue for, collect and receive each such payment and distribution and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and take such other actions, in its own name or in the name of the Guarantor or otherwise, as the Canadian Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce its rights under this Agreement.
     (f) The Guarantor will execute all subordinations, postponements, assignments and other agreements as the Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably request to more effectively subordinate and postpone the Intercorporate Indebtedness to the payment and performance of the Borrower Obligations guaranteed hereunder.
     (g) The provisions of this Section 3.5 survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect until (i) the Borrower Obligations and all other amounts owing under the Loan Documents guaranteed hereunder are repaid in full; and (ii) the Secured Parties have no further obligations under any of the Loan Documents.]
     Section 3.6 Suspension of Guarantor Rights
     So long as there are any Borrower Obligations guaranteed hereunder, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may at any time have by reason of the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement (i) to be indemnified by the Canadian Borrowers, (ii) to claim contribution from any Other Guarantor of the debts, liabilities or obligations of the Canadian Borrowers, or (iii) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties or the Canadian Collateral Agent under any of the Loan Documents.
     Section 3.7 No Prejudice to Secured Parties or Canadian Collateral Agent.
     The Secured Parties and the Canadian Collateral Agent are not prejudiced in any way in the right to enforce any provision of this Agreement by any act or failure to act on the part of any Canadian Borrower, the Secured Parties or the Canadian Collateral Agent. The Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, in such manner as any of them may determine is expedient, without any consent of, or notice to, the Guarantor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Guarantor (i) change the manner, place, time or terms of payment or performance of the Borrower Obligations, (ii) renew

 


 

or alter the Borrower Obligations, (iii) amend, vary, modify, supplement or replace any Loan Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Permitted Hedging Arrangement or any other related document or instrument, (iv) discontinue, reduce, renew, increase, abstain from renewing or otherwise vary any credit or credit facilities to, any transaction with, any Canadian Borrower or any other Person, (v) release, compound or vary the liability of any Canadian Borrower or any other Person liable in any manner under or in respect of the Borrower Obligations, (vi) take or abstain from taking securities or collateral from any other Person, or from perfecting securities or collateral of any other Person, (vii) exercise or enforce or refrain from exercising or enforcing any right or security against any Canadian Borrower, the Guarantor or any other Person, (viii) accept compromises or arrangement from any Person, (ix) apply any sums from time to time received to the Borrower Obligations, or any part thereof, and change any such application in whole or in part from time to time, (x) otherwise deal with, or waiver or modify their right to deal with, any Person and security. In their dealings with the Canadian Borrowers, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties need not enquire into the authority or power of any Person purporting to act for or on behalf of the Canadian Borrowers.
     Section 3.8 No Set-off
     To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantor makes all payments under this Agreement without regard to any defence, counter-claim or right of set-off available to it.
     Section 3.9 Successors of the Borrower
     This Agreement will not be revoked by any change in the constitution of any Borrower. This Agreement extends to any person, firm or corporation acquiring, or from time to time carrying on, the business of any Canadian Borrower.
     Section 3.10 Supplemental Security
     This Agreement is in addition and without prejudice to and supplemental to all other guarantees, indemnities, obligations and security now held or which may hereafter be held by the Secured Parties or the Canadian Collateral Agent.
     Section 3.11 Security for Guarantee
     The Guarantor acknowledges that this Agreement is intended to secure payment and performance of the Borrower Obligations of the Canadian Borrowers and that the payment and performance of the Borrower Obligations of the Canadian Borrowers and the other obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement are secured pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Guarantor Security Documents.
     Section 3.12 Interest Act (Canada)
     The Guarantor acknowledges that certain of the rates of interest applicable to the Borrower Obligations of the Canadian Borrowers may be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, such rate determined pursuant to such

 


 

calculation, when expressed as an annual rate is equivalent to (i) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (ii) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for such interest is payable (or compounded) ends, and (iii) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be.
     Section 3.13 Taxes.
     (a) All payments to the Secured Parties by the Guarantor under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes, unless such Taxes are required by applicable law to be deducted or withheld. If the Guarantor is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any such Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable under this Agreement or under any of the Guarantor Security Documents (i) the amount payable shall be increased (and for greater certainty, in the case of interest, the amount of interest shall be increased) as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to any additional amounts paid under this Section 3.13), the Secured Parties receive an amount equal to the amount they would have received if no such deduction or withholding had been made, (ii) the Guarantor will make such deductions or withholdings, and (iii) the Guarantor will immediately pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (b) The Guarantor agrees to immediately pay any Other Taxes.
     (c) The Guarantor will indemnify the Secured Parties and the Canadian Collateral Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by the Guarantor under this Section 3.13) paid by the Secured Parties or the Canadian Collateral Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising from or with respect to such Taxes and Other Taxes, whether or not they were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification will be made within 30 days from the date the Canadian Collateral Agent or the relevant Secured Party, as the case may be, make written demand for it. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes and Other Taxes submitted to the Guarantor by the Canadian Collateral Agent or the relevant Secured Party is conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from the Guarantor to the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Secured Party, as the case may be.
     (d) The Guarantor will furnish to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes made by the Guarantor within 30 days after the date of any payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
     (e) The provisions of this Section 3.13 survive the termination of this Agreement, but shall not apply to any Taxes payable solely as a result of any Agent or Lender failing to comply with subsection 4.15 of the Credit Agreement.

 


 

     Section 3.14 Judgment Currency
     (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert all or any part of the Borrower Obligations guaranteed hereunder or any other amount due to a Secured Party or the Canadian Collateral Agent in respect of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the Guarantor, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, agrees that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Secured Party or Canadian Collateral Agent, as the case may be, could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is paid or satisfied.
     (b) The obligations of the Guarantor in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Secured Party or the Canadian Collateral Agent shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Secured Party or the Canadian Collateral Agent, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Secured Party or Canadian Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may, in accordance with its normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Secured Party in the Original Currency, the Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Secured Party or Canadian Collateral Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Secured Party or Canadian Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in the Original Currency, the Secured Party or Canadian Collateral Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Guarantor.

ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS

amendment, or modification would adversely affect a Secured Party without the written consent of each such affected Secured Party.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Canadian Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share (based, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on the respective Adjusted Net Worths of the Guarantors on the date the respective payment is made) of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of subsection 2.3. The provisions of this subsection 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the U.S. Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the U.S. Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
     Section 2.3. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the U.S. Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties by the Borrowers on account of the Borrower Obligations are paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated.

     Section 2.4. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, waived, modified, accelerated, compromised, subordinated, waived, surrendered or released by the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, waived, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the U.S. Collateral Agent or the U.S. Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or the applicable Lenders(s), as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of any of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for any of the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto, except to the extent required by applicable law.

Each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to any of the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the extent permitted by law,

-13-


 

that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses (other than any suit for breach of a contractual provision of any of the Loan Documents) that it may have arising out of or in connection with any and all of the following: (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by any of the Borrowers against the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) any change in the time, place, manner or place of payment, amendment, or waiver or increase in any of the Obligations, (d) any exchange, taking, or release of Security Collateral, (e) any change in the structure or existence of any of the Borrowers, (f) any application of Security Collateral to any of the Obligations, (g) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Obligation or the rights of the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto, including, without limitation: (i) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of any currency (other than Dollars) for Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of Dollars in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice, (ii) a declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in such jurisdiction or the imposition by such jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority thereof of any moratorium on, the required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required approval of payments on, any indebtedness in such jurisdiction, (iii) any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by such country or any Governmental Authority that directly or indirectly deprives any Borrower of any assets or their use, or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof, or (iv) any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such jurisdiction which has the same effect as the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above (in each of the cases contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to the extent occurring or existing on or at any time after the date of this Agreement), or (h) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than payment in full in cash of the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by it hereunder) (with or without notice to or knowledge of any of the Borrowers or such Guarantor) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any of the Borrowers for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any of the Borrowers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any of the

For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
     Section 2.6. Reinstatement. The guarantee of any Guarantor contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

     (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the U.S. Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors, (i) the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and make application thereof to the Obligations of the relevant Pledgor in such order as is provided in subsection 6.5, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the U.S. Collateral Agent or its nominee, as applicable, may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Stock as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the relevant Pledgor or the U.S. Collateral Agent, of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the U.S. Collateral Agent may reasonably determine), all without liability (other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction) except to account for property actually received by it, but the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have no duty, to any Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, provided that the U.S. Collateral Agent, shall not exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock in any way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in subsection 6.6 other than in accordance with subsection 6.6.
     (c) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer or maker of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Pledgor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the U.S. Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer or maker shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the U.S. Collateral Agent.

     (f) sixth, but subject to the provisions of subclauses 6.5.6 and 6.5.7, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (a) through (e), inclusive, an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Canadian Borrower Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties as provided in subsection 6.5.2 hereof, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Canadian Borrower Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Canadian Borrower Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;
     (g) seventh, but subject to the provisions of subclauses 6.5.6 and 6.5.7, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (a) through (f), inclusive, ratably to any then remaining unpaid Obligations; and
     (h) eighth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) through (g), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement, to the relevant Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to such surplus.

          6.5.3 Each of the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Security Documents, agrees and acknowledges that if the Lender Creditors receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement (which shall only occur after all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations constituting Primary U.S. Borrower Obligations or Primary Canadian Borrower Obligations, as the case may be, have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the U.S. Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of the respective Lender Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement constituting Primary U.S. Borrower Obligations or Primary Canadian Borrower Obligations, as the case may be, and after the application of all such cash security to the repayment of all Obligations owing to the respective Lender Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit, if there remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the U.S. Administrative Agent to the U.S. Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with provisions set forth above in this subsection 6.5.
          6.5.4 All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the U.S. Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Creditors and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other Creditors.
          6.5.5 For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this subsection 6.5, the U.S. Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agents and (ii) the Representative or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agents, each Representative and the Other Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the U.S. Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Primary U.S. Borrower Obligations, Primary Canadian Borrower Obligations, Secondary Canadian Borrower Obligations and Secondary Canadian Borrower Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has received written notice from a Lender Creditor or an Other Creditor to the contrary, the Administrative Agents and each Representative, in furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the U.S. Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding. Unless it has written notice from an Other Creditor to the contrary, the U.S. Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Permitted Hedging Arrangements with an Other Creditor are in existence.
          6.5.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, to the extent monies or proceeds to be applied pursuant to this subsection 6.5 consist of proceeds received

-34-


 

from a sale or other disposition of Excess Foreign Subsidiary Capital Stock, such proceeds will be applied as otherwise required above in this subsection 6.5, but for this purpose treating the outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations as only those obligations secured by the Excess Foreign Subsidiary Capital Stock in accordance with the provisions of clause (x) to the proviso appearing at the end of subsection 3.1 hereof. In determining whether any Excess Foreign Subsidiary Capital Stock has been sold or otherwise disposed of, the U.S. Collateral Agent shall treat any sale or disposition of Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary as first being a sale of Capital Stock which is not Excess Foreign Subsidiary Capital Stock until such time as the stock sold represents 65% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Capital Stock of the respective Foreign Subsidiary and, after such threshold has been met, any further sales of Capital Stock of the respective Foreign Subsidiary shall be treated as sales of Excess Foreign Subsidiary Capital Stock.
          6.5.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, to the extent monies or proceeds to be applied pursuant to this subsection 6.5 consist of proceeds received under any Canadian Security Document, such proceeds will be applied as otherwise required above in this subsection 6.5, but for this purpose (i) reversing clauses (c) and (d) above (thereby treating clause (d) as if it were the third priority of distribution, and treating clause (c) as if it were the fourth priority of distribution) and reversing clauses (e) and (f) above (thereby treating clause (f) above as if it were the fifth priority of distribution and treating clause (e) above as if it were the sixth priority distribution), in each case mutatis mutandis and with any necessary reference changes (to clauses, etc.) and (ii) treating the outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations as only those obligations secured by the respective Canadian Security Document.
          6.5.8 It is understood that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.
     Section 6.6. Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the U.S. Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code, under any other applicable law and in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the U.S. Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Granting Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Security Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Security Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such

-35-


 

sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Security Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in such Granting Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Granting Party further agrees, at the U.S. Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Security Collateral and make it available to the U.S. Collateral Agent at places which the U.S. Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Granting Party’s premises or elsewhere. The U.S. Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Security Collateral or in any way relating to the Security Collateral or the rights of the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party then due and owing, in the order of priority specified in subsection 6.5 above, and only after such application and after the payment by the U.S. Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the Code, need the U.S. Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such Granting Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) such Granting Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Security Collateral, other than any such claims, damages and demands that may arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the U.S. Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party (in each case as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction), and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Security Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
     Section 6.7. Registration Rights. (a) If the U.S. Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to subsection 6.6, and if in the reasonable opinion of the U.S. Collateral Agent it is necessary or reasonably advisable to have the Pledged Stock (other than Pledged Stock of Special Purpose Subsidiaries), or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Pledgor will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the U.S. Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not more than one year from the date of the first public offering of such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all states and the District of Columbia that the U.S. Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

-36-


 

          (b) Such Pledgor recognizes that the U.S. Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all such Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Such Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The U.S. Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
          (c) Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of such Pledged Stock pursuant to this subsection 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Such Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this subsection 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the U.S. Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the U.S. Collateral Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this subsection 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement.
     Section 6.8. Waiver; Deficiency. Each Granting Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Security Collateral are insufficient to pay in full, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations constituting Obligations of such Granting Party and, to the extent then due and owing, all other Obligations of such Granting Party and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
ARTICLE VII
The Collateral Agent
     Section 7.1. U.S. Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Granting Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the U.S. Collateral Agent and any authorized officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Granting Party and in the name of such Granting Party or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that the U.S. Collateral Agent agrees not to exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any

-37-


 

time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law), (x) each Pledgor hereby gives the U.S. Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice or assent by such Pledgor, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in subsection 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assessments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral, and (y) each Grantor hereby gives the U.S. Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

     (ii) in the case of any Copyright, Patent, or Trademark constituting Collateral of such Grantor, execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the U.S. Collateral Agent may reasonably request to such Grantor to evidence the U.S. Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in such Copyright, Patent, or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
     (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens, other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, levied or placed on the Collateral of such Grantor, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and
     (iv) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral of such Grantor to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the U.S. Collateral Agent or as the U.S. Collateral Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral of such Grantor; (C) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral of such Grantor; (D) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral of such Grantor or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral of such Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor; (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the U.S. Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (G) subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses, assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark constituting Collateral of such Grantor (along with the goodwill of the

-38-


 

business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the U.S. Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral of such Grantor as fully and completely as though the U.S. Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the U.S. Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the U.S. Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral of such Grantor and the U.S. Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
          (b) The reasonable expenses of the U.S. Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due ABR Loans that are U.S. RCF Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the U.S. Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Granting Party, shall be payable by such Granting Party to the U.S. Collateral Agent on demand.
          (c) Each Granting Party hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable as to the relevant Granting Party until this Agreement is terminated as to such Granting Party, and the security interests in the Security Collateral of such Granting Party created hereby are released.
          Section 7.2. Duty of U.S. Collateral Agent. The U.S. Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Security Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the U.S. Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Security Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Security Collateral upon the request of any Granting Party or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Security Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the U.S. Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Security Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Granting Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction).
          Section 7.3. Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Granting Party authorizes the U.S. Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing

-39-


 

or recording documents or instruments with respect to such Granting Party’s Security Collateral without the signature of such Granting Party in such form and in such filing offices as the U.S. Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the U.S. Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Granting Party authorizes the U.S. Collateral Agent to use any collateral description determined by the U.S. Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” in any such financing statements.
          Section 7.4. Authority of U.S. Collateral Agent. Each Granting Party acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the U.S. Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the U.S. Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the U.S. Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as between the U.S. Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the U.S. Collateral Agent and the Granting Parties, the U.S. Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Granting Party shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
          Section 7.5. Right of Inspection. Upon reasonable written advance notice to any Grantor and as often as may reasonably be desired, or at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and records of such Grantor, and the U.S. Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the same, and to the extent reasonable take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and such Grantor agrees to render to the U.S. Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s reasonable cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The U.S. Collateral Agent and its representatives shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance written notice to such Grantor subject to any lease restrictions, to enter during normal business hours into and upon any premises owned, leased or operated by such Grantor where any of such Grantor’s Inventory or Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein.
ARTICLE VIII
Non-Lender Secured Parties
          Section 8.1. Rights to Collateral. (a) The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not have any right whatsoever to do any of the following: (i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral (such term, as used in this Section 8, having the meaning assigned to it in the Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, the right to (A) enforce any Liens or sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral, (B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any voting rights, give any instructions, make any election, notice account debtors or make collections with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or (C) release any Guarantor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the Liens of any Security

Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to collect, sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other realization and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction. The Non-Lender Secured Parties by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents hereby agree not to contest or otherwise challenge any such collection, sale, disposition or other realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral. Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or other disposition of any property, business or assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and the release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document in connection therewith.
          (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 8.1, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings (A) in order to prevent any Person from seeking to foreclose on the Collateral or supersede the Non-Lender Secured Parties’ claim thereto or (B) in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Non-Lender Secured Parties.
          (d) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefit of this Agreement, agrees that the U.S. Collateral Agent and the Lenders may deal with the Collateral, including any exchange, taking or release of Collateral, may change or increase the amount of the Borrower Obligations and/or the Guarantor Obligations, and may release any Guarantor from its Obligations hereunder, all without any liability or obligation (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) to the Non-Lender Secured Parties.

-41-


 

          Section 8.2. Appointment of Agent. Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to make, constitute and appoint the U.S. Collateral Agent, as agent under the Credit Agreement (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the U.S. Collateral Agent) as such Person’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity, the U.S. Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person’s name or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the U.S. Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. It is understood and agreed that the U.S. Collateral Agent has appointed the U.S. Administrative Agent as its agent for purposes of perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise carrying out certain of its obligations hereunder.
          Section 8.3. Waiver of Claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Non-Lender Secured Party waives any claim it might have against the U.S. Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the U.S. Collateral Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such exercise described in subsection 8.1(b) above), except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. None of the U.S. Collateral Agent or any Lender or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Holdings, any Subsidiary of Holdings, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to take any other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person (as determined in a final non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction).
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous
          Section 9.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Granting Party and the U.S. Collateral Agent (acting at the directions of the Required Lenders or, if required pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, all of the Lenders), provided that (a) any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Granting Party may be waived by the U.S. Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the U.S. Collateral Agent (acting at the directions of the Required Lenders or, if required pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, all of the Lenders) and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, no such waiver and no such amendment or modification shall amend, modify or waive the definition of “Secured Party” or subsection 6.5 if such waiver, amendment, or modification would adversely affect a Secured Party without the written consent of each such affected Secured Party.

-42-


 

          Section 9.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the U.S. Collateral Agent or any Granting Party hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 11.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1, unless and until such Guarantor shall change such address by notice to the U.S. Collateral Agent and the U.S. Administrative Agent given in accordance with subsection 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.
          Section 9.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. None of the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the U.S. Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
          Section 9.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the U.S. Collateral Agent for all their respective reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting against any Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement against such Guarantor and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Secured Parties, the U.S. Collateral Agent and the U.S. Administrative Agent.
          (b) Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay, and to save the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, (x) any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Security Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), in each case to the extent the Parent Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 11.5 of the Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (as determined in a final non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction).
          (c) The agreements in this subsection 9.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

-43-


 

          Section 9.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Granting Parties, the U.S. Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Granting Party may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the U.S. Collateral Agent.
          Section 9.6. Set-Off. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time without notice to such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any of the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor and by each Borrower, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under subsection 9(a) of the Credit Agreement so long as any amount remains unpaid after it becomes due and payable by such Guarantor hereunder, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than the U.S. Collateral Proceeds Account), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may elect. The U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party under this subsection 9.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may have.
          Section 9.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
          Section 9.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; provided that, with respect to any Pledged Stock issued by a Foreign Subsidiary, all rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that they do not violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any such Pledged Stock or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement against the Pledgor (such laws, rules or regulations, “Applicable Law”) and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law.

          Section 9.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
          Section 9.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Granting Parties, the U.S. Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Granting Parties, the U.S. Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

     (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America located in the county of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
     (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
     (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address referred to in subsection 9.2 or at such other address of which the U.S. Collateral Agent and the U.S. Administrative Agent (in the case of any other party hereto) or the Parent Borrower (in the case of the U.S. Collateral Agent and the U.S. Administrative Agent) shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
     (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and
     (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any consequential or punitive damages.
          Section 9.13. Acknowledgments. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:

-45-


 

     (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;
     (b) none of the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor; and
     (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby among the Secured Parties or among the Guarantors and the Secured Parties.
          Section 9.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
          Section 9.15. Additional Granting Parties. Each new Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to subsection 7.9(b) of the Credit Agreement shall become a Granting Party for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 2 hereto. Each existing Granting Party that is required to become a Pledgor with respect to Capital Stock of any new Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower pursuant to subsection 7.9(b) of the Credit Agreement shall become a Pledgor with respect thereto upon execution and delivery by such Granting Party of a Supplemental Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 hereto.
          Section 9.16. Releases. (a) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations then due and owing shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, all Security Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the U.S. Collateral Agent and each Granting Party hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Security Collateral shall revert to the Granting Parties. At the request and sole expense of any Granting Party following any such termination, the U.S. Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Granting Party any Security Collateral held by the U.S. Collateral Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Granting Party such documents (including without limitation UCC termination statements) as such Granting Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
          (b) In connection with any sale or other disposition of Security Collateral permitted by the Credit Agreement (other than any sale or disposition to another Grantor), the Lien pursuant to this Agreement on such sold or disposed of Security Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor (other than to Holdings, the Parent Borrower or a Subsidiary of either) or the sale or other disposition of Security Collateral (other than a sale or disposition to another Grantor) permitted under the Credit

-46-


 

Agreement, the U.S. Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt from the Parent Borrower of a written request for the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee or the release of the Security Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, identifying such Guarantor or the relevant Security Collateral and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Parent Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, execute and deliver to the relevant Granting Party (at the sole cost and expense of such Granting Party and without representation or warranty of any kind) all releases or other documents (including without limitation UCC termination statements) necessary or reasonably desirable for the release of such Guarantee or the Liens created hereby on such Security Collateral, as applicable, as such Granting Party may reasonably request.
          Section 9.17. Judgment. (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the U.S. Collateral Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
          (b) The obligations of any Guarantor in respect of this Agreement to the U.S. Collateral Agent, for the benefit of each holder of Secured Obligations, shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which the sum originally due to such holder is denominated (the “original currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the U.S. Collateral Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency, the U.S. Collateral Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the original currency with the judgment currency; if the amount of the original currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such holder in the original currency, such Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the U.S. Collateral Agent for the benefit of such holder, against such loss, and if the amount of the original currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the U.S. Collateral Agent, the U.S. Collateral Agent agrees to remit to the Parent Borrower, such excess. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 5 REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
            5.1 Certain Matters Relating to Accounts.
          (a) At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral in any reasonable manner and through any reasonable medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Canadian Collateral Agent’s reasonable request and at the expense of the Grantor, the Grantor shall cause independent public or chartered accountants or others reasonably satisfactory to the Canadian Collateral Agent to furnish to the Canadian Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral.
          (b) The Canadian Collateral Agent hereby authorizes the Grantor to collect the Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral and the Canadian Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the Credit Agreement. If required by the Canadian Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the Credit Agreement, any Proceeds constituting payments or other cash proceeds of Accounts Receivables constituting Collateral, when collected by the Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days of receipt by the Grantor) deposited in, or otherwise transferred by the Grantor to the Collateral Proceeds Account, subject to withdrawal by the Canadian Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in subsection 5.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of the Grantor. All Proceeds constituting collections or other cash proceeds of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral while held by the Canadian Collateral Account Bank (or by the Grantor in trust for the benefit of the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. At any time when an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, at the Canadian Collateral Agent’s election, each of the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Canadian Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the funds on deposit in the Canadian Collateral Proceeds Account established by the Grantor to the payment of the Obligations of the Grantor then due and owing, such application to be made as set forth in subsection 5.5 hereof. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the funds on deposit in the Canadian Collateral Proceeds Account shall be remitted as provided in subsection 5.1(d) hereof.
          (c) At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the Credit Agreement, at the Canadian Collateral Agent’s request, the Grantor shall deliver to the Canadian Collateral Agent copies or, if required by the Canadian Administrative Agent for the enforcement thereof or foreclosure thereon, originals of all documents held by the Grantor evidencing, and relating to,
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, including, without limitation, all statements relating to the Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral and all orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
          (d) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall instruct the Canadian Collateral Account Bank to promptly remit any funds on deposit in the Grantor’s Canadian Collateral Proceeds Account to the Grantor’s General Fund Account. In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Grantors agree that the Canadian Collateral Agent, at its option, may require that each Collateral Proceeds Account and the General Fund Account of the Grantor be established at the Canadian Collateral Agent. The Grantor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to withdraw such of its funds from its General Fund Account, and to maintain such balances in its General Fund Account, as it shall deem to be necessary or desirable.
            5.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.
          (a) The Canadian Collateral Agent, in its own name or in the name of others, may at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the Credit Agreement, communicate with obligors under the Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral and parties to the Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) to verify with them to the Canadian Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral or Contracts.
          (b) Upon the request of the Canadian Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 9(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Grantor shall notify obligors on the Grantor’s Accounts Receivable and parties to the Grantor’s Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) that such Accounts Receivable and such Contracts have been assigned to the Canadian Collateral Agent, for the rateable benefit of the Secured Parties, and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent.
          (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Grantor shall remain liable under each of its Accounts Receivable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

            5.3 Pledged Stock.
          (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the Grantor of the Canadian Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to subsection 5.3(b), the Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Stock (subject to the last two sentences of subsection 4.17 of this Agreement) and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Stock; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or such other action taken (other than in connection with a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement) which, in the Canadian Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, would materially impair the Pledged Stock or the related rights or remedies of the Secured Parties or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
          (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Grantor, (i) the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and make application thereof to the Obligations of the Grantor in such order as is provided in subsection 5.5, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the Canadian Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Canadian Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Stock as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the Grantor or the Canadian Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Canadian Collateral Agent may reasonably determine), all without liability (other than for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct) except to account for property actually received by it, but the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have no duty to the Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, provided that the Canadian Collateral Agent shall not exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock in any way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in subsection 5.6 other than in accordance with subsection 5.6.
          (c) The Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer or maker of any Pledged Securities pledged by the Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Canadian Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from the Grantor, and the Grantor agrees that each Issuer or maker shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly

permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Canadian Collateral Agent.
            5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Canadian Collateral Agent.
          In addition to the rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties specified in subsection 5.1 with respect to payments of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have instructed the Grantor to do so, all Proceeds received by the Grantor consisting of cash, cheques and other Cash Equivalent items shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereto, or as applicable, segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Grantor, be turned over to the Canadian Collateral Agent (or its agents appointed for purposes of perfection) in the exact form received by the Grantor (duly endorsed by the Grantor to the Canadian Collateral Agent if required). All Proceeds received by the Canadian Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Canadian Collateral Agent in the relevant Canadian Collateral Proceeds Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Canadian Collateral Agent in such Canadian Collateral Proceeds Account (or by the Grantor in trust for the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations of the Grantor and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in subsection 5.5.
            5.5 Application of Proceeds.
          5.5.1 It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all Proceeds of the Collateral received by the Canadian Collateral Agent (whether from the Grantor or otherwise) shall be held by the Canadian Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations of the Grantor (whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent, be applied by the Canadian Collateral Agent against the Obligations of the Grantor then due and owing as follows:
          (a) first, to the payment of all amounts owing the Canadian Collateral Agent for (i) any amounts advanced by the Canadian Collateral Agent in order to preserve the Collateral or preserve its security interest in the Collateral, (ii) in the event of the enforcement of any indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities of the Grantor, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, or of any exercise by the Canadian Collateral Agent of its rights hereunder, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs and (iii) all amounts paid to which the Canadian Collateral Agent has the right to reimbursement under subsection 8.5;
          (b) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (a), to the payment of all amounts owing to any Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents in its capacity as such;
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

- 25 -


 

          (c) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) and (b), an amount equal to the outstanding Primary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties as provided in subsection 5.5.2 hereof, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;
          (d) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) through (c), an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties as provided in subsection 5.5.2 hereof, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;
          (e) fifth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, ratably to any then remaining unpaid Obligations; and
          (f) sixth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (a) through (e), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement, to the Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
          5.5.2 For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Party’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Party’s Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, (ii) “Primary Obligations” shall mean (x) in the case of the Loan Document Obligations, all unpaid principal (or, face amount or Stated Amount, as applicable) of, premium, if any, fees and interest on, all Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations, the Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses due and owing pursuant to the Credit Agreement and (y) in the case of the Other Obligations, all amounts due under each Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Permitted Hedging Arrangement with an Other Creditor (other than indemnities, fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) and similar obligations and liabilities), and (iii) “Secondary Obligations” shall mean all Obligations other than Primary Obligations.
          5.5.3  Each of the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Security Documents, agrees and acknowledges that if the Lender Creditors receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement (which shall only occur after all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations constituting Primary Obligations have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the Canadian Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of the respective Lender Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement constituting Primary Obligations and after the application of all such cash security to the repayment of all Obligations owing to the respective Lender Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit, if there
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

- 26 -


 

remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Canadian Administrative Agent to the Canadian Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with subsection 5.5.1 hereof.
          5.5.4 All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Canadian Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Creditors and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other Creditors.
          5.5.5 For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this subsection 5.5.5, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agents and (ii) the Representative or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agents, each Representative and the Other Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Canadian Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has received written notice from a Lender Creditor or an Other Creditor to the contrary, the Administrative Agents and each Representative, in furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Canadian Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding. Unless it has written notice from an Other Creditor to the contrary, the Canadian Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Permitted Hedging Arrangements with an Other Creditor are in existence.
          5.5.6 The Grantor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.
          5.5.7 To the extent any other Loan Document requires Proceeds of Collateral under such Loan Document to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Canadian Collateral Agent or holder under such other Loan Document shall apply such Proceeds in accordance with this Section.
            5.6 PPSA and Other Remedies.
          (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Canadian Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the PPSA, any other applicable law and in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except to the extent restricted by applicable law, the Canadian Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances, enter onto any premises where Collateral consisting of tangible personal property may be located, forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

- 27 -


 

thereof; and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right, except to the extent restricted by applicable law, upon any such sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Grantor further agrees, at the Canadian Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Canadian Collateral Agent at places which the Canadian Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 5.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations of the Grantor then due and owing, in the order of priority specified in subsection 5.5 above, and only after such application and after the payment by the Canadian Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Canadian Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, other than any such claims, damages and demands that may arise from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any of the Canadian Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
          (b) The Canadian Collateral Agent may appoint, remove or reappoint by instrument in writing, any Person or Persons, whether an officer or officers or an employee or employees of the Grantor or not, to be an interim receiver, receiver or receivers (hereinafter called a “Receiver”, which term when used herein shall include a receiver and manager) of such Collateral (including any interest, income or profits therefrom). Any such Receiver shall act as agent for the Canadian Collateral Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral but otherwise and for all other purpose, be deemed the agent of the Grantor and not of the Canadian Collateral Agent. The Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver or its servants, agents or employees. The identity of the receiver, its replacement and its remuneration are within the sole and unfettered discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing it, any such Receiver shall (i) have such powers as have been granted to the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Section 5 and (ii) shall be entitled to exercise such powers at any time that such powers would otherwise be exercisable by the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Section 5, which powers shall include, but are not limited to, the power to take possession of the Collateral, to preserve the Collateral or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of the Grantor and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of the
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

- 28 -


 

Collateral. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Grantor, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Grantor wherein the Collateral may be situate, maintain the Collateral upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use the Collateral directly in carrying on the Grantor’s business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on the Grantor’s business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by the Canadian Collateral Agent, all money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her/its appointment shall be received in trust for and be paid over to the Canadian Collateral Agent and any surplus shall be applied in accordance with applicable law. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of the Canadian Collateral Agent, be vested with, in addition to the rights set out herein, all or any of the rights and powers of the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Canadian Collateral Agent described in the Credit Agreement, the PPSA, and any other applicable laws.
            5.7 Registration Rights.
          (a) If the Canadian Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to subsection 5.6, and if in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent it is necessary or reasonably advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of applicable securities legislation, the Grantor will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the applicable securities legislation, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not more than one year from the date of the first public offering of such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Canadian Collateral Agent are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of applicable securities legislation and the rules and regulations of any applicable securities commission or regulation applicable thereto. The Grantor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities laws of any and all provinces and territories that the Canadian Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, any statements (which need not be audited) that will satisfy the provisions of applicable securities legislation.
          (b) The Grantor recognizes that the Canadian Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all such Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in applicable securities legislation or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favourable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

- 29 -


 

Canadian Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under applicable securities legislation, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
          (c) The Grantor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of such Pledged Stock pursuant to this subsection 5.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. The Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this subsection 5.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this subsection 5.7 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantor, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement.
            5.8 Waiver; Deficiency.
          The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay in full, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations constituting Obligations of the Grantor and, to the extent then due and owing, all other Obligations of the Grantor and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any legal counsel employed by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 6 THE CANADIAN COLLATERAL AGENT
            6.1 Canadian Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
          (a) The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Canadian Collateral Agent or any authorized officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that the Canadian Collateral Agent agree not to exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law), (x) the Grantor hereby gives the Canadian Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice or assent by the Grantor, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in subsection 5.6 or 5.7, any endorsements, assessments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Grantor’s Pledged Collateral, and (y) the Grantor hereby gives the Canadian Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

- 31 -


 

protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral of the Grantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do.
          (b) The reasonable expenses of the Canadian Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Loans that are RCF Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Canadian Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the Grantor, shall be payable by the Grantor to the Canadian Collateral Agent on demand.
          (c) The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable as to the Grantor until this Agreement is terminated, and the security interests in the Collateral of the Grantor created hereby are released.
            6.2 Duty of Canadian Collateral Agent.
          The Canadian Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Canadian Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Canadian Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Canadian Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
            6.3 Financing Statements.
          Pursuant to any applicable law, the Grantor authorizes the Canadian Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements, financing change statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Grantor’s Collateral without the signature of the Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Canadian Collateral Agent reasonably determine appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Agreement. The Grantor authorizes the Canadian Collateral Agent to use any collateral description determined by the Canadian Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” in any such financing statements or financing change statements.
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

            6.4 Authority of Canadian Collateral Agent.
          The Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Canadian Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Canadian Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Canadian Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as between the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Grantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Grantor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
            6.5 Right of Inspection.
          Upon reasonable written advance notice to the Grantor and as often as may reasonably be desired, or at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and records of the Grantor, and the Canadian Collateral Agent and their respective representatives may examine the same, and to the extent reasonable take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and the Grantor agrees to render to the Canadian Collateral Agent at the Grantor’s reasonable cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Canadian Collateral Agent and their respective representatives shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance written notice to the Grantor subject to any lease restrictions, to enter during normal business hours into and upon any premises owned, leased or operated by the Grantor where any of the Grantor’s Inventory or Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its interests therein.

            7.1 Rights to Collateral.
          (a) The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not have any right whatsoever to do any of the following: (i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral (such term, as used in this Section 7, having the meaning assigned to it in the Credit Agreement), including, without limitation, the right to (A) enforce any Liens or sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral, (B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any voting rights, give any instructions, make any election, notify account debtors or make collections with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or (C) release the Grantor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document or consent to or otherwise approve any such release; (ii) demand, accept or obtain any Lien on any Collateral (except for Liens arising under, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement); (iii) vote in any Bankruptcy Case or similar proceeding in respect of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (any such proceeding, for purposes of this clause (a), a “Bankruptcy”) with respect to, or take any other actions concerning the Collateral; (iv) receive any proceeds from any sale, transfer or other
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

- 33 -


 

disposition of any of the Collateral (except in accordance with this Agreement); (v) oppose any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral; (vi) object to any debtor-in-possession financing in any Bankruptcy Case which is provided by one or more Lenders among others; (vii) object to the use of cash collateral in respect of the Collateral in any Bankruptcy; or (viii) seek, or object to the Lenders seeking on an equal and rateable basis, any adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Collateral in any Bankruptcy.
          (b) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, agrees that in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders, with the consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent, may enforce the provisions of the Security Documents and exercise remedies thereunder and under any other Loan Documents (or refrain from enforcing rights and exercising remedies), all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole business judgment. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to collect, sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other realization and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the PPSA of any applicable jurisdiction. The Non-Lender Secured Parties hereby agree by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents not to contest or otherwise challenge any such collection, sale, disposition or other realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral. Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or other disposition of any property, business or assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and the release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document in connection therewith.
          (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 7.1, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings (A) in order to prevent any Person from seeking to foreclose on the Collateral or supersede the Non-Lender Secured Parties’ claim thereto or (B) in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Non-Lender Secured Parties.
          (d) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefit of this Agreement, agrees that the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Lenders may deal with the Collateral, including any exchange, taking or release of Collateral, may change or increase the amount of the Obligations, and may release the Grantor from its Obligations hereunder, all without any liability or obligation (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) to the Non-Lender Secured Parties.
            7.2 Appointment of Agent.
          Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to make, constitute and appoint the Canadian Collateral Agent as agent under the Credit Agreement (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Canadian Collateral Agent) as such Person’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity, the Canadian Collateral Agent shall have
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

- 34 -


 

the right, with power of substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person’s name or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Canadian Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. It is understood and agreed that the Canadian Collateral Agent has appointed the Canadian Administrative Agent as its agent for purposes of perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise carrying out certain of its obligations hereunder.
            7.3 Waiver of Claims.
          To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Non-Lender Secured Party waives any claim it might have against the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such exercise described in subsection 7.1(b) above), except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes wilful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. None of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any Lender or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Holdings, any Subsidiary of Holdings, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to take any other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes wilful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person.
SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS
            8.1 Amendments in Writing.
          None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Grantor and the Canadian Collateral Agent, provided that (a) any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on the Grantor may be waived by the Canadian Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Canadian Collateral Agent and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, no such waiver and no such amendment or modification shall amend, modify or waive the definition of “Secured Party” or subsection 5.5 if such waiver, amendment, or modification would adversely affect a Secured Party without the written consent of each such affected Secured Party.
            8.2 Notices.
          All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Canadian Collateral Agent or the Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 11.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon the Grantor shall be addressed to the Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1, unless and until the Grantor
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

- 35 -


 

shall change such address by notice to the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent given in accordance with subsection 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.
            8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.
          None of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Canadian Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
            8.4 Further Assurances.
          The Grantor will do all acts and things and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all agreements, documents and instruments that the Collateral Agent may require, including as a result of the coming into force of proposed legislation currently known as the Securities Transfer Act (Ontario) (and similar legislation in the Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia and other applicable jurisdictions), and take all further steps relating to the Collateral or any other property or assets of the Grantor that the Collateral Agent may require for (i) protecting the Collateral, (ii) perfecting the security interest, and (iii) exercising all powers, authorities and discretions conferred upon the Canadian Collateral Agent. After the security interest becomes enforceable, the Grantor will do all acts and things and execute and deliver all documents and instruments that the Collateral Agent may require for facilitating the sale or other disposition of the Collateral in connection with its realization.
            8.5 Enforcement Expenses.
          (a) The Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Canadian Collateral Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, (x) any and all liabilities, costs, losses and expenses of whatever kind with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), in each case to the extent the Parent Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 11.5 of the Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising from
CANADIAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Canadian Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

            8.6 Successors and Assigns.
          This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the Grantor, the Canadian Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that the Grantor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Canadian Collateral Agent.
            8.7 Counterparts.
          This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
            8.8 Severability.
          Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; provided that, with respect to any Pledged Stock issued by a Subsidiary, all rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that they do not violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any such Pledged Stock or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement against the Grantor (such laws, rules or regulations, “Applicable Law”) and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law.

If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Grantor or any other Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (for

[Name of Payor] (the “Payor”), for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each holder of the Note to which this Annex ___ is attached (the “Note”) by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of, interest on, and all other amounts owing in respect of, the Note (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth below, to the prior payment in full in cash of all amounts owing in respect of Senior Indebtedness (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex ___ ). The provisions of this Annex ___ shall constitute a continuing offer to all persons or other entities who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are made obligees hereunder the same as if their names were written herein as such, and they and/or each of them may proceed to enforce such provisions.
          Section 1.02. Payor Not to Make Payments with Respect to Subordinated Indebtedness in Certain Circumstances. (a) Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness (including interest thereon or fees or any other amounts owing in respect thereof), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all Obligations (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex ___ ) owing in respect of the Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms thereof, before any payment of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise, is made on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness.
          (b) The Payor may not, directly or indirectly (and no person or other entity on behalf of the Payor may), make any payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness and may not acquire any Subordinated Indebtedness for cash or property until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash if any Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement identified in Section 1.07 herein) or Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement identified in Section 1.07 herein) under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex ___ ) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. Each holder of the Note hereby agrees that, so long as any such Default or Event of Default in respect of any issue of Senior Indebtedness has occurred and is continuing, it will not sue for, or otherwise take any action to enforce the Payor’s obligations to pay, amounts owing in respect of the Note. Each holder of the Note understands and agrees that to the extent that clause (a) of this Section 1.02 or this clause (b) prohibits the payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness, such unpaid amount shall not constitute a payment default under the Note and the holder of the Note may not sue for, or otherwise take action to enforce the Payor’s obligation to pay such amount, provided that such unpaid amount shall remain an obligation of the Payor to the holder of the Note pursuant to the terms of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as a Default or Event of Default has not occurred, Payor will be entitled to make (and any person or other entity on behalf of the Payor shall be entitled to make) and the holder of any Note will be entitled to receive scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Subordinated Indebtedness.
          (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 1.02, the Payor (or any Person on behalf of the Payor)

     (b) any payment or distributions of assets of the Payor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities to which the holder of the Note would be entitled except for the provisions of this Annex ___ , shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or other trustee or agent, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued as their respective interests may appear (including by giving effect to any intercreditor or subordination arrangements among such holders), to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and
