THE FACILITY

Section 2.1 The Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (the “Loans” and individually, a “Loan”) to the Borrower as follows: (i) an initial Borrowing on the Closing Date in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000; (ii) up to three (3) additional Borrowings on or after the date that the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Final Order during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount for such three (3) drawings not to exceed $25,000,000; and (iii) a Borrowing (the "Foreign Debt Draw”) on or after the date the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Foreign Debt Order and the Canadian Court shall have entered the Foreign Debt Recognition Order during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000; provided, however, that the Loans shall not exceed, for any Lender, in aggregate principal amount, the amount which equals the Commitment of such Lender. Proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely for the purposes set forth in Section 4.12. Once repaid, in whole or in part, at maturity or by prepayment, Loans made hereunder may not be reborrowed in whole or in part. The Borrower shall be required to request the Foreign Debt Draw under the circumstances described in Section 7.14, and may request the Foreign Debt Draw at any time, in each case during the Availability Period on or after the date the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Foreign Debt Order and the Canadian Court shall have entered the Foreign Debt Recognition Order; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders shall not be required to fund the Foreign Debt Draw unless the Foreign Debt Draw Conditions and the other conditions set forth herein (including Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3) are satisfied on or before the Foreign Debt Draw Date.

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, in the case of the initial Borrowing, and five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of any Borrowing after the Closing Date. Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit H (a “Notice of Borrowing”), specifying (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing (which must be during the Availability Period), (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided, that, Borrowings on the Closing Date shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans, (D) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods for any such Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (E) the Commitment (after giving effect to the proposed Borrowing). The Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless (subject to Section 2.14) the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that the initial Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $25,000,000.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.14(a). Each Lender shall, before 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 13.8, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, but is not obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified (a “Non-Funding Lender”) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Protective Advances. In managing, supervising and otherwise dealing with the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may, but has no obligation to, or if directed by and prefunded by the Requisite Lenders shall, make Protective Advances in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of $5,000,000 and the aggregate amount of the Commitment available to be drawn on the date that the Protective Advance is made.

Section 2.4 Prepayment Premium. In the event that the Loans are prepaid in full on any date occurring thirty (30) or more days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, other than pursuant to the Plan, or the Board of Directors of the Borrower approves or the Borrower enters into a transaction or a series of transactions pursuant to which, or in connection with which, the Loans would be prepaid in full on any date occurring thirty (30) or more days prior to the

Scheduled Termination Date, other than pursuant to the Plan, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, a prepayment premium payment equal to the product of (a) 5.00% and (b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Commitments on the Closing Date before giving effect to any Loans made on such date, which premium payment shall be due and payable immediately without demand.

Section 2.5 Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments.

(a) Each Lender’s Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced on each date on which a Borrowing is made under Section 2.1 by an aggregate amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Borrowing made on such date.

(b) All Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Termination Date.

Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower promises to repay to the Administration Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon on the Termination Date or earlier, if otherwise required by the terms hereof.

Section 2.7 Evidence of Debt.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower 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.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof, if applicable.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.7 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit I.

Section 2.8 Reserved.

Section 2.9 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, however, that in the case of any Net Cash Proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event, the Borrower need not prepay the Loans to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds are actually used to repair or replace the damaged or taken property within 180 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying the intent of the Borrower to so apply such Net Cash Proceeds and, pending application of such proceeds, the Borrower has paid the same to the Administrative Agent to be held in a Cash Collateral Account designated by the Administrative Agent. Any such mandatory prepayment shall be applied, subject to Section 2.13(g) hereof, first to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans until such Loans shall have been repaid in full; and second to any other Obligation then due and payable.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default (in which case Section 2.13(g) shall apply), all available funds in the Cash Collateral Account (other than, prior to the Termination Date, an amount equal to any proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event that are held in the Cash Collateral Account pending application of such proceeds as specified in a Reinvestment Notice) shall be applied on a daily basis first to repay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities or amounts owed in respect of any Protective Advance then due to the Administrative Agent; second to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans until such Loans shall have been repaid in full; and third to any other Obligation then due and payable. The Administrative Agent agrees to so apply such funds and the Borrower consents to such application. If, following such application, there are no Loans outstanding and no other Obligations are then due and payable, then the Administrative Agent shall cause any remaining funds in the Cash Collateral Account to be paid at the written direction of the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, to the Borrower or another Person lawfully entitled thereto).

(c) In the event that the proceeds of any Foreign Debt Draw exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of Specified Foreign Debt Obligations due and payable as of the related Foreign Debt Draw Date and (ii) the amount actually paid by the Borrower to the Prepetition Fixed Asset Lenders and the Prepetition Foreign Working Capital Lenders in respect of the Specified Foreign Debt Obligations, within three (3) Business Days of such Foreign Debt Draw Date, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such excess.

Section 2.10 Interest.

(a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(c), as follows:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time, and (B) the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period, and (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan, and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan; (ii) interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day during such Interest Period which occurs every three months from the first day of such Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part, and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan; and (iii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 2.10(a) or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal amount of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate which is two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest then applicable to such Loans or such other Obligations from time to time. Such interest shall be payable on demand.

Section 2.11 Conversion/Continuation Option.

(a) The Borrower may elect (i) at any time to convert Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof to Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans constituting a single Borrowing must be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit J hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period, (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a conversion from Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall also be the last day of the applicable Interest Period), and (D) that the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(b) have been satisfied.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into a Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any of the provisions of Section 2.14. If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans will be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.12 Fees.

The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Commitment Parties certain fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are set forth in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.13 Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 13.8, in immediately available funds without set-off, deduction, counterclaim or other defense. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (e) and (f) of this Section 2.13, as applicable, for the account of each Lender; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14(c), 2.14(e), 2.15 or 2.16 shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) If and to the extent any payment owed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not made when due, each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and such Lender, as applicable, subject to any notice period provided in the Orders, to setoff and charge any amount so due against any Deposit Account maintained by such Loan Party with the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Loans shall be applied first to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans with those Eurodollar Rate Loans which have earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may but is not obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first Business Day, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Subject to the provisions of clause (g) of this Section 2.13 (or required to be applied in accordance with Section 2.9), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be applied first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced or expenses the Administrative Agent may have incurred pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower; second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable; and third, as the Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion thereof; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, and, if to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

(g) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral, and agrees that the Administrative Agent may, and shall upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account (including all proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event that are held in the Cash Collateral Account pending application of such proceeds as specified in a Reinvestment Notice) and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:

(i) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;

(ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any amounts owed in respect of any Protective Advance then due to the Administrative Agent and any reimbursements and indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

(iii) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders;

(iv) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;

(v) fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans;

(vi) sixth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans, ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans and Obligations owing with respect to Hedging Contracts with any Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and

(vii) seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Obligations described in any of the foregoing clauses first through seventh, inclusive, the available funds being applied under any such clause with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in any such clause. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through seventh of this Section 2.13(g) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender, or any other Person. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through fourth of this Section 2.13(g) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Lenders.

(h) The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and/or each Lender to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s accounts with the Administrative Agent or such Lender any of the Obligations which are then due and payable. Each Lender receiving any payment as a result of charging any such account shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and make such arrangements as the Administrative Agent shall request to share the benefit thereof in accordance with Section 13.7.

Section 2.14 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to

the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding on the Borrower.

(b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that: (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed; or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender shall determine that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.14(d) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(e) Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) which that Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by a Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11, (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9 or Section 9.2) on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 2.14(d), or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by a Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error.

Section 2.15 Capital Adequacy. If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation, or order, or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.16 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document or the Orders shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s lending office is located or any other jurisdiction in which such Lender is engaged in business and (iii) any branch profits or capital taxes imposed by the United States or

any similar tax imposed in any other jurisdiction in which any Loan Party is located (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document or the Orders to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (“Withholding Taxes”) (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions of Withholding Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment; provided, however, that no Loan Party shall be required to increase any sum payable pursuant to clause (i) above with respect to any Withholding Taxes that are attributable solely to any Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (f) of this Section 2.16; provided if such Lender or Administrative Agent shall have satisfied the requirements of paragraph (f) of this Section 2.16 on the Closing Date, or on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of paragraph (a) of Section 2.16 shall relieve the Loan Parties of their obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation administration or application thereof, such Lender or Administrative Agent is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s entitlement to an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States withholding taxes.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any state, county, city or other political subdivision within the United States or by any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or the Orders or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or the Orders (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Withholding Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that no Loan Party shall be required to indemnify any Lender or Administrative Agent for any Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes that are attributable solely to any Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (f) of this Section 2.16; provided, if such Lender or Administrative Agent shall have satisfied the requirements of paragraph (f) of this Section 2.16 on the Closing Date, or on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this penultimate sentence of paragraph (c) of Section 2.16 shall relieve the Loan Parties of their obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16 in the

event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation administration or application thereof, such Lender or Administrative Agent is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s entitlement to an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States withholding taxes. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.8, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder, the agreements and obligations of such Loan Party contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

(f) Prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Non-U.S. Lender and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled at such time to an exemption from United States withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two completed copies of: (i) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) (or any successor form); (ii) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of withholding tax under an income tax treaty) (or any successor form); (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption) (or any successor form); or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purposes). Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts

which would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h) If any Administrative Agent or Lender receiving a payment under this Section 2.16 with respect to Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes or liabilities arising therefrom subsequently receives a refund from any Governmental Authority which is specifically attributable to such payment, such Administrative Agent or Lender shall promptly pay the amount of such refund to the Loan Party that initially made such payment.

(b) Representations and Warranties; No Defaults. The following statements shall be true on the date of such Loan, both before and after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds therefrom:

(i) The representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of any such date after the Closing Date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date; and

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, other than, solely with respect to a Foreign Debt Draw, a Foreign Debt Foreclosure Event that is cured by application of the proceeds of such Foreign Debt Draw.

(c) No Legal Impediments. The making of the Loans on such date (i) does not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party on the date of or immediately following the making of such Loan and (ii) is not enjoined temporarily, preliminarily or permanently.

(d) Final Order. After the Closing Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Final Order, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders, certified by the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court as having been duly entered, and the Final Order shall be in full force and effect and shall not have been vacated, reversed, modified, amended or stayed without the prior written consent of the Lenders. After the Closing Date, the Canadian Court shall have granted an order, in form and substance substantially the same as the Recognition Orders with such modifications as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, recognizing the Final Order and such recognition order by the Canadian Court shall be in full force and effect and shall not have been vacated, reversed, modified, amended or stayed without the prior written consent of the Lenders (the “Final Recognition Order”).

(e) Foreign Debt Order. With respect to any draw date on or after the Foreign Debt Draw Trigger Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Foreign Debt Order and the Canadian Court shall have entered the Foreign Debt Recognition Order, which Foreign Debt Order and Foreign Debt Recognition Order shall each be in full force and effect,

shall not have been reversed, vacated or stayed and shall not have been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

(f) Additional Matters. The Administrative Agent shall have received such additional documents, information and materials as any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably request.

Section 9.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without further order of, application to, or action by, the Bankruptcy Court or the Canadian Court, the Administrative Agent (a) may, and shall at the request of the Requisite Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare that all or any portion of the Commitments be terminated, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan shall immediately terminate, and/or (b) may, and shall at the request of the Requisite Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties. In addition, subject solely to any requirement of the giving of notice by the terms of the Interim Order, Recognition Orders, the Final Order or the Final Recognition Order, the automatic stay provided in section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and the CCAA stay of proceedings shall be deemed automatically vacated or lifted, as applicable, without further action or order of the Bankruptcy Court or the Canadian Court and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise all of their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral and the Subsidiary Guarantors; provided, however, that prior to exercising any setoff remedies, terminating the Borrower’s right to use of cash collateral, or exercising any rights to freeze monies or balances in the Loan Parties’ Accounts, the Administrative Agent shall be required to provide five (5) Business Days written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Borrower’s bankruptcy counsel), counsel to the Committee, counsel to the Prepetition Secured Lenders and the U.S. Trustee.

and/or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; provided, however, that such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders and they are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

Section 9.4 Waiver of Certain Rights. The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waive any right to seek relief under the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 105 thereof, or under the CCAA, to the extent such relief would restrict or impair the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth herein, in the Loan Documents or in the Orders. In the event any party requests a hearing seeking to prevent the Administrative Agent or the Lenders from exercising any of their rights and remedies that arise upon the occurrence or during the continuation of an Event of Default, the sole issue before the Bankruptcy Court or the Canadian Court, as applicable, at such hearing shall be whether an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured. No other issue or argument shall be relevant to any opposition to enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTY

Section 10.1 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each Subsidiary Guarantor from the proceeds of the Loans, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment and performance by the Borrower when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of (i) the Obligations of the Borrower and the other Subsidiary Guarantors and (ii) all other amounts, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower and the other Subsidiary Guarantors to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any of them or any Indemnified Party, of every type and description (whether by reason of an extension of credit, loan, guaranty, indemnification, foreign exchange or currency swap transaction, interest rate hedging transaction or otherwise), present or future, arising under each Hedging Contract that is a Loan Document (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations become due and payable hereunder, each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Lenders, or order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of Pliant Toronto hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the sum of (i) all amounts referred to in Section 3.3(a) paid to the Prepetition Foreign Working Capital Lenders from the proceeds of any Foreign Debt Draw, whether paid directly or indirectly to such Prepetition Foreign Working Capital Lenders, and whether owed by Pliant Toronto or any other Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party, (ii) all amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) paid to the Prepetition Fixed Asset Lenders from the proceeds of any Foreign Debt Draw, whether paid

directly or indirectly to such Prepetition Fixed Asset Lenders, and whether owed directly by Pliant Toronto or by any other Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party, (iii) without duplication of the amounts described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the amount of all intercompany loans, advances or other transfers of funds or property from the Borrower (including, without limitation, proceeds from the Loans or as a result of the Loan Parties’ cash management system or for goods sold or services provided on credit by the Borrower or other intercompany benefits) to Pliant Toronto on or after the Closing Date, and (iv) interest on the foregoing amounts calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement based on the rate of interest applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Agreement, inclusive, together with costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders from time to time in enforcing the Guaranty and the security granted by Pliant Toronto pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents.

Section 10.2 Nature of Liability. The liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the indebtedness which the Administrative Agent or such Lenders repay to the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

Section 10.3 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Subsidiary Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Each Subsidiary Guarantor 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 the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 10.4 Authorization. Each Subsidiary Guarantor authorizes the 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:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any

liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors (including the Subsidiary Guarantors), the Borrower or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, or subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to its creditors;

(f) apply, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Borrower remain unpaid; and/or

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any Loan Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any Loan Document or any of such other instruments or agreements or therein.

Section 10.5 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Section 10.6 Subordination. Any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to any Subsidiary Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Obligations of the Borrower; provided, however, that payment may be made by the Borrower on any such Indebtedness owing to such Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the same is not prohibited by this Agreement; and provided further, that if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for the Lenders and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Subsidiary Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall

mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

Section 10.7 Waiver.

(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Subject to the giving of prior written notice in accordance with the Orders, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.

The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Loan Party hereby releases. Each Loan Party further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Loan Party’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale (net of all expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses), to the Obligations in any order deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, such Loan Party remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, the UCC or the PPSA, shall the Administrative Agent account for and pay over the surplus, if any, to such Loan Party. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent need not give more than five (5) days’ notice to the Borrower (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed or delivered on an overnight basis, postage prepaid, addressed to the Borrower at its address referred to in Section 13.8) of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Administrative Agent and its agents shall have the right to enter upon any real property owned or leased by any Loan Party to exercise any of its rights or remedies

111

under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and any such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was adjourned. Each Loan Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and all other amounts to which the Administrative Agent is entitled, the Loan Parties also being liable for the fees and expenses of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency;

(ii) with respect to the Canadian Debtors, by instrument in writing appoint any Person to be a receiver (which term shall include a receiver and manager) of the Collateral, or of any part thereof, and may remove any receiver so appointed and appoint another in its stead; and any such receiver so appointed shall have power:

	(A)		to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof;

	(B)		to carry on all or any part of the business of the Canadian Debtor relating to the Collateral;

	(C)		to borrow money on the security of the Collateral for the purpose of the maintenance, preservation or protection of the Collateral or for carrying on all or any part of the business of the Canadian Debtor relating to the Collateral;

	(D)		to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or any part of the Collateral at public auction, by public tender or by private sale, either for cash or upon credit, at such time and upon such terms and conditions as the receiver shall determine;

	(E)		to exercise any of the other rights to which the Administrative Agent is entitled as holder of the Collateral;

	(F)		lease or concur in leasing any portion of the Collateral on such terms and conditions as it considers advisable and enter into and execute leases, accept surrenders and terminate leases; and

	(G)		insure, manage, operate, repair, alter, or complete the construction of any building or buildings or other erections or improvements on the Collateral;

it being understood and agreed that none of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall be in any way responsible for any misconduct or negligence of any such receiver; and

(iii) with respect to any Canadian Debtor, take proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, for the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or for foreclosure, and to take any other action, suit, remedy or

112

proceeding authorized or permitted hereunder or by law or by equity in order to enforce the security constituted by this Agreement.

(b) (i) The Administrative Agent may fix the reasonable remuneration of the receiver who shall be entitled to deduct the same out of the revenue or the sale proceeds of the Collateral.

(ii) Every receiver shall be deemed the agent or attorney of the applicable Canadian Debtor and in no event, the agent of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not be in any way responsible for the acts or omissions of any such receiver. The appointment of any receiver shall not result in or create any liability or obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent to the receiver or to any Loan Party or to any other Person and no appointment or removal of a receiver and no actions of a receiver shall constitute the Administrative Agent a mortgagee in possession or responsible as such;

(iii) No receiver shall be liable to any Loan Party to account for monies other than monies actually received by the receiver in respect of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and out of such monies so received every such receiver shall, in the following order, first pay;

	(A)		the receiver’s reasonable remuneration as aforesaid;

	(B)		all costs and expenses of every nature and kind incurred by the receiver in connection with the exercise of its powers and authority hereby conferred;

	(C)		to the Administrative Agent all interest, principal and other monies due hereunder or in respect of the Obligations to be paid in such order as the Administrative Agent in its discretion shall determine; and

	(D)		thereafter, every such receiver shall be accountable to the applicable Loan Party for any surplus.

The reasonable remuneration and expenses of the receiver shall be paid by the applicable Canadian Debtor on demand and shall be a charge on the Collateral and shall bear interest from the date of demand at the rate of interest per annum equal to the highest rate of interest applicable to any other Obligations.

(iv) The rights and powers conferred herein in respect of the receiver are supplemental to and not in substitution of any other rights and powers which the Administrative Agent may have.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

113

(d) Pledged Collateral.

(i) During the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Loan Party or Loan Parties, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth herein, and (ii) the Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) all voting, consent, corporate and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any issuer of Pledged Collateral, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Loan Party to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(ii) In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Loan Party shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Loan Party hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations.

(iii) Each Loan Party hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Loan Party to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Loan Party, and each Loan Party agrees that such issuer shall be fully

114

protected in so complying and (ii) during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.8 The Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its and its Subsidiaries true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Loan Party and in the name of such Loan Party, or in its own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary and desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby give the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Loan Party, without notice to or assent by such Loan Party to do the following:

(i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give a quittances and receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of such Loan Party, its own name or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due thereunder, directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (B) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time, in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents constituting or relating to the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against any Loan Party with respect to any Collateral of such Loan Party; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to

115

give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (G) to license or, to the extent permitted by an applicable license, sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Intellectual Property, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; (H) to take any reasonable action including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, or any similar office or agency, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of any Copyright, Trademark or Patent; and (I) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Loan Party’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s Lien therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Loan Party might do.

(b) The Administrative Agent agrees that it shall forbear from exercising the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.8, except upon the occurrence or during the continuation of an Event of Default. The Loan Parties hereby ratify, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Exercise by the Administrative Agent of the powers granted hereunder is not a violation of the automatic stay provided by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or a violation of the CCAA stay of proceedings and each Loan Party waives applicability thereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 11.8 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

(c) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Loan Party for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Each Loan Party also authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default or as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, (i) to communicate in its own name or the name of its Subsidiaries with any party to any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Loan Party in and under the Contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (ii) to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

(e) All Obligations shall constitute, in accordance with section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and the DIP Charge, claims against each Loan Party in its Case or the CCAA Proceedings, as applicable, which are administrative expense claims having priority over

116

any all administrative expenses, or claims of the kind specified in sections 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 11.9 Modifications.

(a) The Liens, lien priority, administrative priorities and other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order, Recognition Orders, the Final Order and/or the Final Recognition Order (specifically, including, but not limited to, the existence, perfection and priority of the Liens provided herein and therein and the administrative priority provided herein and therein) shall not be modified, altered or impaired in any manner by any other financing or extension of credit or incurrence of Indebtedness by any of the Loan Parties (pursuant to section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise), or by any dismissal or conversion of the Case or the CCAA Proceedings, or by any other act or omission whatsoever. Without limitation, notwithstanding any such order, financing, extension, incurrence, dismissal, conversion, act or omission:

(i) except for the Carve-Out or the Information Officer Charge, as applicable, having priority over the Obligations, no costs or expenses of administration which have been or may be incurred in the Case or the CCAA Proceedings or any conversion of the same or in any other proceedings related thereto, and no priority claims, are or will be prior to or on a parity with any claim of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders against the Loan Parties in respect of any Obligation;

(ii) the Liens and security interests granted herein shall constitute valid and perfected first priority Liens and security interests (subject only to (A) the Carve-Out, (B) valid, perfected, enforceable and nonavoidable Liens of record existing immediately prior to the Petition Date in respect of the Prepetition Working Capital Facility First Lien Collateral and other prior liens permitted under Section 4.18(b)(ii), (C) with respect to the Canadian Debtors’ assets in Canada, the Information Officer Charge and (D) Liens permitted under Section 8.2(e)) in accordance with sections 364(c)(2) and (3) and 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall be prior to all other Liens and security interests, now existing or hereafter arising, in favor of any other creditor or any other Person whatsoever; and

(iii) the Liens and security interests granted hereunder shall continue to be valid and perfected without the necessity that financing statements be filed or that any other action be taken under applicable non-bankruptcy law.

(b) Notwithstanding any failure on the part of any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the Liens and security interests in the Collateral granted hereunder, the Interim Order, the Recognition Orders, the Final Order and the Final Recognition Order (when entered) shall automatically, and without further action by any Person, perfect such Liens and security interests against the Collateral.

ARTICLE XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 12.1 Authorization and Action.

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon as the Administrative Agent hereunder and each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents or the Orders and that under such Loan Documents the Administrative Agent is acting as agent for the Lenders and the other Secured Parties.

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and its duties are entirely administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents or any other relationship as the Administrative Agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or holder of any other Obligation. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties under any of the Loan Documents by or through its agents, employees or delegees. The Administrative Agent may refrain from taking any action if the Administrative Agent believes in good faith that it needs instruction or clarification from the Lenders until it receives such instruction or clarification.

Section 12.2 Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates or any of the respective directors, officers, agents, employees or delegees of the Administrative Agent or any such Affiliate shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it, him, her or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for its, his, her or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) may treat the payee of any Note as its holder until such Note has been assigned in accordance with Section 13.2; (b) may rely on the Register

118

to the extent set forth in Section 13.2(c); (c) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (d) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (e) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire either as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Loan Party, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (f) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (g) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopy or electronic mail) or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

Section 12.3 The Administrative Agent Individually. The Bank of New York Mellon and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Loan Party as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent.

Section 12.4 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and each other Loan Party in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

Section 12.5 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, delegees and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Orders or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Orders or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of

119

legal counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, the Orders or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Loan Party.

Section 12.6 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. If no such successor shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that, in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held under the Loan Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Loan Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Such appointment by the Administrative Agent shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

120

After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article XII as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Orders and the other Loan Documents.

ARTICLE XIII

Section 13.2 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans); provided, however, that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and Commitment, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the assigning Lender’s entire interest) be less than $5,000,000 (which may be aggregated among Affiliates of a Lender) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender, and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of each Lender and the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.2, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs after any Event of Default shall have occurred.

(b) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording and the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent

122

that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except those which survive the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 13.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto, as applicable.

(e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 13.2, each Lender may assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans) to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and (ii) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender’s Securities; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights which such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would require the consent of each Lender in accordance with Section 13.1(a) hereof. In the event of the

123

sale of any participation by any Lender, (A) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14(c), 2.14(d), 2.14(e), 2.15 and 2.16 as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to pay to any participant of any interest of any Lender, under Section 2.14(c), 2.14(d), 2.14(e), 2.15 or 2.16, any sum in excess of the sum which the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold.

Section 13.3 Costs and Expenses.

(a) The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall jointly and severally upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for, all reasonable internal and external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, all reasonable, out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ counsel (which shall not be more than one firm for so long as no Default has occurred), and other local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisers, and other consultants and agents of the Lenders or their counsel) incurred by each of them in connection with (i) the Administrative Agent’s and the Lender’s audit and investigation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents and the Orders and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lender’s periodic audits of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be; (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article III), the Loan Documents, the Orders and any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith and the making of the Loans hereunder (including, without limitation, all due diligence, distribution, bank meetings, transportation, computer, duplication, messenger and related costs and expenses); (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under the Loan Documents and the Orders (including, without limitation, any search, filing, registration and recording fees, documentary stamps, intangible taxes or any other type of taxes or fees that are payable as a result of the execution and recording of any Order or Loan Document and reasonable fees and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions); (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and the Orders; (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents and the Orders; (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the Orders; (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in

124

which the Administrative Agent or any Lender is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrowers’ Subsidiaries, this Agreement, the Orders or any of the other Loan Documents; and (viii) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments, restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the Orders and the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same.

(b) The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent and such Lenders (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or the Orders or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrowers’ Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents or the Orders; and (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

Section 13.4 Indemnities.

(a) The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of the directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents, representative, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article III) (each such Person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature (including fees and disbursements of counsel to any such Indemnified Party), which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Indemnified Party, in each case in connection with, relating to or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of any defense with respect thereto, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective shareholders or creditors, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein or in any other Loan Document are consummated, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Orders, any Obligation, any Disclosure Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation under this Section 13.4 to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Indemnified Matter solely resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. Without limiting the

125

foregoing, Indemnified Matters include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Loan Document or the Orders, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate; (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien; (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including CERCLA and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any of such matters, such Indemnified Party is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent incurred following (A) foreclosure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender having become the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (B) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(b) The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for, and hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that in the event that any such investigation, litigation or proceeding set forth in subparagraph (b) above is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against it or any other Indemnified Party, or any Remedial Action, is requested of it or any of its officers, directors, Administrative Agents and employees, for which any Indemnified Party may desire indemnity or defense hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing.

(d) The Borrower, at the request of any Indemnified Party, shall have the obligation to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action against or with respect to any Indemnified Party and the Borrower, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Borrower’s choice. In the event that such Indemnified Party requests the Borrower to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnified Party shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrower’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party.

(e) The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this

126

Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 13.4), the Orders or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person who was at any time an Indemnified Party under this Agreement, the Orders or any other Loan Document, regardless of whether such Indemnified Party is a party to this Agreement.

Section 13.5 Limitation of Liability. The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents and the Orders, except to the extent such liability is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business, or anticipated savings) and the Borrower and each Loan Party hereby waive, release and agree (for themselves and on behalf of their respective Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 13.6 Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 13.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

Section 13.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) If any Lender shall receive any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 13.3 or 13.4 (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

127

(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(c) The Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 13.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 13.8 Notices, Etc. All notices, demands, requests and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be given in writing, or by any telecommunication device capable of creating a written record, and addressed to the party to be notified as follows:

Section 13.9 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 13.10 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective upon entry of the Orders and when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

Section 13.11 Governing Law.

The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.

129

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Orders or any of the other Loan Documents by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering of a copy of such process to such Loan Party at its address specified in Section 13.8. Each Loan Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 13.12 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any other jurisdiction.

(d) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other 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 Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency at the spot rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent at 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given, for the purchase of the Original Currency, for delivery two (2) Business Days thereafter. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in such Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency. If the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) against such loss.

Section 13.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE BORROWER AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ORDERS OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

Section 13.14 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any such Person receives payment from the proceeds of the Collateral or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall

130

be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 13.15 Section Titles. The Section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

Section 13.16 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed signature of this Agreement in portable document format (.pdf) or by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart hereof.

Section 13.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Orders and all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and documents delivered hereunder or thereunder, embodies the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 13.18 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.19 Limited Disclosure. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree to use all reasonable efforts to keep information obtained by it pursuant hereto and the other Loan Documents confidential in accordance with such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, customary practices and agrees that it shall only use such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and not disclose any such information other than (a) to such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, employees, representatives, advisors and agents that are or are expected to be involved in the evaluation of such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are advised of the confidential nature of such information, (b) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (c) to the extent disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order or requested or required by bank regulators or auditors or (d) to current or prospective assignees and participants, contractual counterparties in any Hedging Contract and to their respective legal or financial advisors, in each case and to the extent such assignees, participants,

131

grantees or counterparties agree to be bound by, and to cause their advisors to comply with, the provisions of this Section 13.19.
