Boyd Group (TSX: BGSI) refines credit deal and term loan for Hudson buy

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Boyd Group Services Inc. has filed a Form 6-K attaching a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for its Canadian and U.S. operating subsidiaries. The agreement provides revolving and swing line credit facilities, plus a separate US$125,000,000 Term Facility for the U.S. borrower.

The new credit structure supports general corporate needs and explicitly contemplates the planned Hudson Acquisition, which has an approximate purchase price of US$1,300,000,000. It includes a dedicated Hudson Acquisition Advance of up to US$210,000,000 under the revolver for that transaction, including financing fees and direct costs.

The Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities have a stated maturity of August 20, 2030, while the Term Facility matures on March 17, 2027. The agreement defines detailed interest rate mechanics based on Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Term CORRA and margin grids tied to a Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, along with financial covenants using Adjusted EBITDA, Senior Funded Debt and Interest Coverage Ratio.

Credit & capital structure analyst

Boyd puts long-dated, covenant-based credit platform in place to fund growth, including the Hudson Acquisition.

The amended agreement organizes Boyd’s financing around multi-currency revolving and swing line facilities plus a US$125,000,000 Term Facility maturing on March 17, 2027. Revolver and swing line maturities extend to August 20, 2030, giving a defined long-term bank platform.

A dedicated Hudson Acquisition Advance of up to US$210,000,000 under the revolver, tied to a planned purchase price of about US$1,300,000,000, embeds that deal into the lending package. The framework also permits Permitted Unsecured Notes and Permitted Promissory Notes up to an aggregate US$1,000,000,000, subject to subordination and maturity conditions.

Pricing and covenants use Adjusted EBITDA, Total Funded Debt and Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, plus Interest Coverage tests. Margins and commitment fees step with the Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, so future leverage levels will directly influence borrowing costs and covenant headroom. The filing does not quantify current ratios; actual flexibility will depend on future reported metrics.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and until the Maturity Date Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities:

(a)  Each of the Revolver/Swing Line Lenders severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make available to the Borrower its Pro Rata Share of the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities by making such Accommodations to the Borrowers as may be requested by the Borrowers thereunder from time to time in accordance with this

- 46 -

Agreement in an amount up to the Revolver/Swing Line Facility Commitment.

(b)  The Canadian Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set out in Section 2.05 of this Agreement, to make Canadian Swing Line Facility available to the Canadian Borrower.

(c)  The US Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set out in Section 2.06 of this Agreement, to make US Swing Line Facility available to the US Borrower.

(d)  Each Revolver/Swing Line Lender at its option may make any extension of credit or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any domestic or foreign office, branch or Affiliate of such Lender; provided that such office, branch or Affiliate of the Revolver/Swing Line Lender is located in Canada or the United States of America and that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay such Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.02 Commitments and Revolver/Swing Line Facility Limits

Revolver Facility.

(a)  The Revolver Facility will be available in two separate tranches: (i) the Canadian Tranche administered by the Agent and made available to the Canadian Borrower by the Revolver Lenders, and (ii) the US Tranche administered by the Agent and made available to the US Borrower by the Revolver Lenders. The aggregate maximum principal amount available under the Canadian Tranche and the US Tranche is the Revolver Facility Commitment. Each Drawdown made by the Canadian Borrower under the Canadian Tranche will reduce availability under the US Tranche, and each Drawdown made by the US Borrower under the US Tranche will reduce availability under the Canadian Tranche. In administering the Revolver Facility, the Agent is authorized to allocate the available amount under each of the Canadian Tranche and the US Tranche (A) as the Agent receives a Drawdown, Conversion, Rollover or repayment under the Canadian Tranche and the US Tranche; and (B) as a result of currency fluctuations, in each case, so long as the aggregate maximum principal amount available under the Canadian Tranche and the US Tranche does not exceed the Revolver Facility Commitment.

(b)  The Borrowers shall at all times cause the Total Outstandings under the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities to be no greater than the Revolver/Swing Line Facility Commitment, and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Outstandings in respect of any Revolver/Swing Line Lender under the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities will be no greater than the Individual Commitment of such Revolver/Swing Line Lender under the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities.

(c)  All or any portion of the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities which is not utilized by the Borrowers on the Closing Date may be utilized from time to time thereafter on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except to the extent the Revolver Facility Commitment is permanently reduced in accordance with this Agreement, the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities shall revolve until the Maturity Date Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities and no payment under the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities shall, of itself, reduce the Revolver

- 47 -

Facility Commitment until the Maturity Date Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities, at which time the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities shall become due and payable in full. All or any portion of the Revolver Facility Commitment may be cancelled by the Borrowers at any time by written notice from the Borrowers to the Agent in accordance with Section 2.15.

(d)  Upon any reduction of the Revolver Facility Commitment, the Individual Commitment of each Lender with respect to the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities shall thereupon be reduced by an amount equal to such Revolver/Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such reduction of the applicable tranche of the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities.

Swing Line Facilities

(e)  The Canadian Borrower shall at all times cause the Total Outstandings under the Canadian Swing Line Facility to be no greater than the Canadian Swing Line Facility Commitment.

- 49 -

(c)  If the Canadian Swing Line Facility is fully drawn hereunder and/or the satisfaction of any withdrawal requests or Advances (each an “Overadvance”) under the Canadian Swing Line Facility would cause the Outstandings under the Canadian Swing Line Facility to exceed the Canadian Swing Line Facility Commitment, the Canadian Swing Line Lender will not be obligated to make such Overadvance (including automatically transferring additional funds by way of overdraft to cover insufficiently funded debits, as set out in Section 2.05(a) above). Any Overadvances made under the Canadian Swing Line Facility will be honoured on an exception basis only at the sole discretion of the Canadian Swing Line Lender, will be repayable on demand, will not constitute a formal or permanent increase to the Canadian Swing Line Facility Commitment and are subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The aggregate amount of such Advance shall be applied on the date of receipt thereof by the Agent to repay the principal amount of such Canadian Swing Line Loans to the Canadian Swing Line Lender. Nothing in this Section shall require the Canadian Swing Line Lender to make any Canadian Swing Line Loan that would result in the Total Outstandings of all Canadian Swing Line Loans exceeding the Canadian Swing Line Facility Commitment or the aggregate amount of all Outstandings of any Revolver/Swing Line Lender, exceeding the Individual Commitment of such Lender, in its capacity as a Revolver/Swing Line Lender under the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities, at such time.

(e)  Each Revolver Lender agrees to indemnify the Canadian Swing Line Lender (to the extent not reimbursed by the Canadian Borrower), rateably according to its Pro Rata Share under the Revolver Facility, whether before or after or during the continuance of an Event of Default, from and against any and all losses and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Canadian Swing Line Lender by reason of the Canadian Swing Line Lender making Canadian Swing Line Loans available or otherwise in any way relating to or arising out of the Canadian Swing Line Loans. Nothing in this paragraph 2.05(e) shall require any of the Revolver/Swing Line Lenders to advance more than their Individual Commitment under the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities.

2.06 US Swing Line Loans

(a)  Each Advance requested by the US Borrower under the US Swing Line Facility pursuant to US Swing Line Notice (or as otherwise agreed to in the US Swing Line Agreement), in the case of US Prime Rate Advances or SOFR Advances, will be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 (the “Minimum Amount^”).

All amounts owing to the US Swing Line Lender hereunder shall be paid in full within ten (10) Business Days after each US Swing Line Loan is made.

(c)  If the US Swing Line Facility is fully drawn hereunder and/or the satisfaction of any withdrawal requests or Advances (each an “Overadvance”) under the US Swing Line Facility would cause the Outstandings under the US Swing Line Facility to exceed the US Swing Line Facility Commitment, the US Swing Line Lender will not be obligated to make such Overadvance.

(5)  The provisions of Sections 2.11(4)(i) and 2.11(4)(iii) do not apply to a Swing Line Loan unless and until such time as they are converted to Advances under a Revolver Facility.

(6)  In order to give effect to the change in the Revolver Facility Commitment provided for in this Agreement, the Revolver Lenders hereby agree to take all steps and actions and execute and deliver all agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required from time to time by the Agent or any of the Revolver Lenders (including the assignment of interests in, or the purchase of participations in, existing Outstandings) to ensure that the aggregate Outstandings owing to each Revolver Lender is outstanding in proportion to each Revolver Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Outstandings after giving effect to such change. All Outstandings under the Revolver Facility shall be adjusted (by the Agent in accordance with its normal practices) on the Closing Date, to ensure each Revolver Lender is owed its amended Pro Rata Share of all such Outstandings under the Revolver Facility; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, each Revolver Lender’s original Pro Rata Share under any Advance made by way of a Term CORRA Advance or a SOFR Advance under the Revolver Facility which is

- 55 -

outstanding as of the Closing Date will remain until the maturity date thereof. After the Closing Date, any Rollover or Conversion of any such outstanding Term CORRA Advance or SOFR Advance and all new Advances made by way of a Term CORRA Advance or a SOFR Advance under the Revolver Facility shall be made on the basis of the amended Pro Rata Share of each Revolver Lender after giving effect to the change in the Revolver Facility Commitment provided for in this Agreement.

(i) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term CORRA” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, for reasons other than a Canadian Benchmark Transition Event, or

(ii) the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term CORRA Advance, or a conversion thereto or a rollover thereof that Adjusted Term CORRA for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term CORRA Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such

- 63 -

Advance, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent,

the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each of the Revolver Lenders.

(b) Upon delivery of such notice by the Agent to the Borrower under Section 2.17(a), any obligation of the Lenders to make Term CORRA Advances and any right of the Borrower to continue Term CORRA Advances or to convert Prime Rate Advances to Term CORRA Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term CORRA Advances, or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice.

(c) Upon receipt of such notice by the Agent to the Borrower under Section 2.17(a), (i) (x) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term CORRA Advances (to the extent of the affected Term CORRA Advances, or affected Interest Periods); (y) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Prime Rate Advances, in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Term CORRA Advances will be deemed to have been converted, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, into Prime Rate Advances.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its discretion, acting reasonably, or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks (the “IOSCO Principles”), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the IOSCO Principles for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

- 65 -

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a SOFR Advance of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to US Base Rate Advances. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of US Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of US Base Rate.

the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each of the Revolver Lenders.

(b) Upon delivery of such notice by the Agent to the Borrowers under Section 2.19(a), any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Advances and any right of the Borrowers to continue SOFR Advances or to convert US Base Rate Advances to SOFR Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances, or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice.

(b) The Term Loan shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date Term Facility.

(c) The fixed interest rate on the Term Loan shall be determined pursuant to a rate confirmation agreement among the Term Facility Lenders, the US Agent (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) and the US Borrower, which shall be entered into prior to the Term Loan Advance.

In order to obtain an extension of any of the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities, the Borrowers must give the Agent notice not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Maturity Date Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities (an “Extension Request”); provided that: (a) the extension term shall not exceed five (5) years; (b) the proposed maturity date shall being at least six (6) months prior to the maturity date of any outstanding Permitted Promissory Notes and Permitted Unsecured Notes; (c) no Event of Default or Pending Event of Default has occurred; and (d) the consent of the Majority Lenders has been obtained. Only one Extension Request may be delivered in any calendar year.

(2)   The Agent shall promptly notify the Revolver/Swing Line Lenders if the Agent receives an Extension Request pursuant to paragraph 7.06(1). Within sixty (60) days after the Agent receives a notice pursuant to paragraph 7.06(1), each Revolver/Swing Line Lender shall notify the Borrowers and the Agent of its election to extend or not to extend its Commitment(s)

- 82 -

under the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities as requested pursuant to the Extension Request (which election to extend or not extend shall be made by each such Revolver/Swing Line Lender in its sole and absolute discretion). Any failure by any Revolver/Swing Line Lender to notify the Borrower and the Agent of its election to extend or not extend as requested shall be deemed to be a refusal to grant the extension. Subject to paragraph 7.06(5), if the Majority Lenders approve in writing the extension as requested, the extension shall automatically and without any further action by any Person be extended in respect of the Revolver/Swing Line Lenders which have approved the extension for the period specified in the Extension Request.

(3)   If an Extension Request has been given to the Agent within the time period referred to in paragraph 7.06(1) and the Majority Lenders but not all Lenders elect to extend as requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Agent shall provide the Borrowers with prior written notice of non-extension received from any such Revolver/Swing Line Lenders (the “Non-extending Lenders”) within thirty (30) days after the Agent receives the notice referred to in paragraph 7.06(1), in which event:

(a) the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders shall have the option, at their discretion, to re-allocate amongst themselves, the Proportionate Share of the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities, then held by the Non-extending Lenders in such proportions as they shall agree and the Proportionate Shares of the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders shall be adjusted accordingly and the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders shall advise the Borrowers of the revised Proportionate Shares, or

(b) if the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders do not elect to re-allocate some or all of the Proportionate Shares of the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities then held by the Non-extending Lender(s) as aforesaid, then either the Borrowers or the extending Lenders shall be entitled to replace such Non-extending Lenders, acting reasonably, with one or more other lenders acceptable to the Borrowers, the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders and the Agent, provided each such other lender qualifies as a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (each, a “Replacement Lender”). If the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders or the Borrowers are successful in obtaining one or more Replacement Lenders sufficient to take up all, but not less than all, of that part of the Proportionate Share of the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities then held by the Non-extending Lenders that is not taken up by the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders (the “Non-Extended Commitment Amount”), the provisions of Section 16.02 herein shall apply. The Agent shall re-allocate the Proportionate Shares of the Non-extending Lenders among the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders and the Replacement Lenders, as the Borrowers, the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders and the Replacement Lenders shall agree.

(4)   If, in the circumstances referred to in paragraphs 7.06(2) and (3), herein, the Majority Lenders, but not all of the Revolver/Swing Line Lenders elect to extend the Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities, and the extending Revolver/Swing Line Lenders choose not to re-allocate among themselves the full amount of the Proportionate Share of any non-extending Lender and neither the extending Lenders nor the Borrowers are successful in

- 83 -

obtaining one or more Replacement Lenders to take up the Non-Extended Commitment Amount within the required time period then, the Advances under the applicable Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities of any Non-extending Lender shall be repaid on the Maturity Date Revolver/Swing Line Credit Facilities (without giving effect to the extension requested in the Extension Request, with respect to the Non-extending Lender only).

ARTICLE 8 – PLACE AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

8.01 Place of Payment of Principal, Interest and Fees

(1)   The Borrowers undertake at all times when any Advance is outstanding or any other amount is owed by it under any Credit Document to maintain the Agent’s Accounts, which the Agent shall be entitled to debit with such amounts as are from time to time required to be paid by it under the Credit Documents, as and when such amounts are due, and that each such account will contain sufficient funds for such purpose. Without in any way limiting the rights of the Agent pursuant to the foregoing, unless otherwise specifically agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent, the Borrowers hereby direct the Agent to debit the aforesaid accounts with such amounts as are from time to time required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement.

(2)   All payments by the Borrowers under any Credit Document, unless otherwise expressly provided in such Credit Document, shall be made to the Agent’s Accounts, or at such other location as may be agreed upon by the Agent and the Borrowers, for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment, not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) for value on the date when due, and shall be made in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim.

(3)   Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Borrower not later than 12:00 (noon) (Toronto time) of the Business Day prior to the date on which any payment to be made by such Borrower under a Credit Document is due that such Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Borrower has remitted or will remit such payment when so due and the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each applicable Lender on such payment date such Lender’s share of such assumed payment. If such Borrower does not in fact remit such payment to the Agent as required by such Credit Document, each applicable Lender shall immediately repay to the Agent on demand the amount so made available to such Lender, together with interest on such amount at the Interbank Reference Rate, in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid in immediately available funds to the Agent, and such Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent on demand such amounts as are sufficient to compensate the Agent and the Lenders for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any interest paid to lenders of funds without duplication of interest otherwise paid hereunder) which the Agent may sustain in making any such amounts available to the Lenders or which any Lender may sustain in receiving any such amount from, and in repaying any such amount to, the Agent or in compensating the Agent as aforesaid. A certificate of the Agent as to any amounts payable by a Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence and containing reasonable details of the calculation of such amounts shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts so payable.

- 84 -

(4)   If any amount which has been received by the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on any Business Day as provided above is not paid by the Agent to a Lender on such Business Day as required under this Agreement, the Agent shall immediately pay to such Lender on demand interest on such amount at the Interbank Reference Rate in respect of each day from and including the day such amount was required to be paid by the Agent to such Lender to the day such amount is so paid.

8.02 Netting of Payments

If, on any date, amounts would be due and payable under this Agreement in the same currency by the Borrowers to the Lenders, or any one of them, and by the Lenders, or such Lender, to a Borrower, then, on such date, upon notice from the Agent or such Lender stating that netting is to apply to such payments, the obligations of each such party to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by a Borrower to the Lenders, or such Lender, exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the Lenders, or such Lender, to a Borrower or vice versa, such obligations shall be replaced by an obligation upon whichever of a Borrower or the Lenders, or such Lender, would have had to pay the larger aggregate amount to pay to the other the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount. For greater certainty, prior to acceleration of repayment pursuant to Section 12.02, this Section 8.02 shall not permit any Lender to exercise a right of set-off, combination or similar right against any amount which a Borrower may have on deposit with such Lender in respect of any amount to which netting is to apply pursuant to this Section 8.02, but shall apply only to determine the net amount to be payable by the Lenders or one of them to a Borrower, or by a Borrower to the Lenders or one of them pursuant to the Credit Documents.

In such event either the Lenders (subject to Section 14.16) or the Agent on their behalf may, in their discretion, exercise any right or recourse and/or proceed by any action, suit, remedy or proceeding against any Obligor authorized or permitted by law for the recovery of all the Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders and proceed to exercise any and all rights hereunder and under the Security and no such remedy for the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders shall be exclusive of or dependent on any other remedy but any one or more of such remedies may from time to time be exercised independently or in combination.

12.03 Payment of Letters of Credit

If the applicable Borrower does not pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the face amount of any unexpired Letter of Credit required to be paid pursuant to Section 12.02, the Agent on behalf of the L.C.

The proceeds of such Advance shall be held by the Agent in an interest bearing cash collateral account for the benefit

- 108 -

of such Borrower and shall be applied in payment of such Letters of Credit if payment is required thereunder or otherwise as the Agent may require. The applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver as security for such Advance all such security as the Lenders may deem necessary or advisable including, without limitation, an assignment of credit balance in respect of such cash collateral account.

12.04 Remedies Cumulative and Waivers

For greater certainty, it is expressly understood and agreed that the respective rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document or instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by law or by equity; and any single or partial exercise by the Lenders or by the Agent of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or other document or instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of or to alter, affect or prejudice any other right or remedy or other rights or remedies to which any one or more of the Lenders and the Agent may be lawfully entitled for such default or breach. Any waiver by the Lenders or the Agent of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant, condition or other matter contained herein and any indulgence granted, either expressly or by course of conduct, by the Lenders or the Agent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was given and shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement as a result of any other default or breach hereunder or thereunder.

12.05 Termination of Lenders’ Obligations

The occurrence of an Event of Default shall relieve the Lenders of all obligations to provide any further Advances hereunder whether by rollover, conversion or otherwise, by way of SOFR Advances, Term CORRA Advances or Letters of Credit; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Lenders from disbursing money hereunder in reduction of then outstanding SOFR Advances, Term CORRA Advances and Letters of Credit. For greater certainty any such Advances shall be at the sole discretion of the Lenders. The Agent may reallocate all Advances pro rata among the Lenders in such manner as the Agent determines is equitable.

12.06 Saving

The Lenders shall not be under any obligation to the Borrowers or any other Person to realize any collateral or enforce the Security or any part thereof or to allow any of the collateral to be sold, dealt with or otherwise disposed of. The Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to the Obligors or any other Person for any loss or damage upon the realization or enforcement of, the failure to realize or enforce the collateral or any part thereof or the failure to allow any of the collateral to be sold, dealt with or otherwise disposed of or for any act or omission on their respective parts or on the part of any director, officer, agent, servant or adviser in connection with any of the foregoing, except that a Lender may be responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from the wilful misconduct or negligence of that Lender.

- 109 -

12.07 Perform Obligations

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if a Borrower has failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements in the Credit Documents, the Majority Lenders, may, but shall be under no obligation to, instruct the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to perform any such covenants or agreements in any manner deemed fit by the Majority Lenders without thereby waiving any rights to enforce the Credit Documents. The reasonable expenses (including any legal costs) paid by the Agent and the Lenders in respect of the foregoing shall be an Obligation and shall be secured by the Security.

12.08 Third Parties

No Person dealing with the Lenders or any agent of the Lenders shall be concerned to inquire whether the Security has become enforceable, or whether the powers which the Lenders or the Agent are purporting to exercise have been exercisable, or whether any Obligations remain outstanding upon the security thereof, or as to the necessity or expediency of the stipulations and conditions subject to which any sale shall be made, or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of any sale or other disposition or any other dealing with the collateral charged by such Security or any part thereof.

12.09 Set-Off or Compensation

In addition to and not in limitation of any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, if repayment is accelerated pursuant to Section 12.02, the Lenders, or any of them, may at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrowers or any other Person, any notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers, set-off and compensate and apply any and all deposits, general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, matured or unmatured, and any other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lenders, or any of them, to or for the credit of or the account of a Borrower, against and on account of the Obligations notwithstanding that any of them are contingent or unmatured.

12.10 Realization of Security

Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Agent holds the Security to secure all of the Obligations and upon the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent shall act on the written instructions of the Majority Lenders as provided in this Agreement and shall distribute the net sale proceeds of realization of the Security to the Lenders in accordance with their Proportionate Share of the Obligations and in accordance with Section 12.11.

12.11 Application of Payments

(iii) third, against the Obligations to each Lender in accordance with its Proportionate Share;

(iv) fourth, against all other Obligations owing to the Lenders pursuant to Hedge Arrangements that were not paid in Section (iii) above to each Lender based on the amount owing to such Lender divided by the aggregate amount owing to all Lenders; and

(v) fifth, if all Obligations of the Borrowers listed above have been paid and satisfied in full, any surplus proceeds of realization shall be paid to the Borrowers unless otherwise required in accordance with Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 14 – THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS

14.01 Appointment

The Lenders hereby appoint TD to act as their agent as herein specified and, except as may be specifically provided to the contrary herein, each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes TD, as the agent of such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under or in connection with the Credit Documents and to exercise such powers thereunder as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto which it may be necessary for the Agent to exercise in order that the provisions of the Credit Documents are carried out. The Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Agent is the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney from the Lenders for the purpose of holding any of the Security or any other security granted by any Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrowers under the Credit Documents, and the Agent hereby agrees to act in such capacity. The Agent may perform any of its duties under the Credit Documents by or through its agents. The Borrowers shall not be concerned to inquire whether the powers which the Agent is purporting to exercise have become exercisable or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of any other action on the part of the Agent, and accordingly insofar as the Borrowers are concerned the Agent shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to have authority from the Lenders to exercise the powers and take the actions which are in fact exercised and taken by it.

14.02 Indemnity from Lenders

The Lenders agree, based on their Proportionate Share of all Credit Facilities in the aggregate, to indemnify the Agent (to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed by a Borrower on demand) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any nature or kind

- 113 -

whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as agent hereunder which in any way relate to or arise out of the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, any blocked account agreement entered into by the Agent) or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Credit Documents or the transactions therein contemplated; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements which result from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand rateably according to its Proportionate Share of the Credit Facilities for any out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation of the Credit Documents and the determination or preservation of any rights of the Agent or the Lenders under, or the enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Credit Documents, to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such expenses by a Borrower on demand. The obligation of the Lenders to indemnify the Agent shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

14.03 Exculpation

The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Credit Documents. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with the Credit Documents, unless such act or omission constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of the Credit Documents a fiduciary relationship with any Lender and nothing in the Credit Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligation except as expressly set forth therein. None of the Lenders shall have any duties or responsibilities to any of the other Lenders except as expressly set forth in the Credit Documents. The Agent shall not be responsible for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties in any of the Credit Documents or which may be contained in any other document subsequently received by the Agent or the Lenders from or on behalf of any Obligor or for the authorization, execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents, and shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by any Obligor of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of any of the Credit Documents. Each of the Lenders severally represents and warrants to the Agent that it has made and will continue to make such independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors as such Lender deems appropriate in connection with its entering into of any of the Credit Documents and the making and continuance of any Advance hereunder, that such Lender has and will continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Obligors and that such Lender in connection with such investigation and appraisal has not relied upon any information provided to such Lender by the Agent.

14.04 Reliance on Information

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, notice, statement, certificate, facsimile, telex or other document or communication believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and, with respect to all legal

- 114 -

matters pertaining to the Credit Documents and its duties thereunder, upon the advice of counsel selected by it.

14.05 Knowledge and Required Action

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Pending Event of Default (other than the non-payment of any principal, interest or other amount to the extent the same is required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower specifying such Event of Default or Pending Event of Default and stating that such notice is given pursuant to this Section. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders, and shall also give prompt notice to the Lenders of each non-payment of any amount required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders. The Agent shall, subject to Section 14.06 take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Pending Event of Default as shall be directed by the Lenders in accordance with this Article 14 provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such direction the Agent may, but shall not be obliged to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Pending Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders; and provided further that the Agent in any case shall not be required to take any such action which it determines to be contrary to the Credit Documents or to any Applicable Law.

14.06 Request for Instructions

The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of any of the Credit Documents, the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any such action or to withhold any such approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever as a result thereof until it shall have received such instructions from the Lenders. No Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Credit Documents in accordance with instructions from the Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take or continue any action under the Credit Documents unless it shall have received further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 14.02 against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action, and unless it shall be secured in respect thereof as it may deem appropriate.

14.07 The Agent Individually

With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made available by it and the Credit Documents to which it is a party and its acting as the Canadian Swing Line Lender and the US Swing Line Lender, TD shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lenders” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include TD in its individual capacity. It is understood and agreed by all of the Lenders that TD, either directly or through its Affiliates, from time to time accepts deposits from, lends money to, provides underwriting, consulting and advisory services to, and generally engages in banking, securities, advisory and other related and ancillary businesses with the Obligors and their Affiliates otherwise than as a

- 115 -

Lender under the Credit Documents and may continue to do so as if it were not the Agent under the Credit Documents and shall have no duty to account to any of the Lenders with respect to any such dealings.

14.08 Resignation and Termination

If at any time (i) the Agent shall deem it advisable, in its sole discretion, it may deliver to each of the Lenders and the Borrowers written notification of its resignation insofar as it acts on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to this Article or (ii) the Agent is in default of any of its obligations hereunder and the Lenders shall deem it advisable, in their sole discretion, they may deliver to the Agent and the Borrowers written notification of the termination of the Agent’s authority to act on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to this Article, such resignation or termination to be effective upon the date of the appointment by the Lenders of a successor which shall assume all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Agent hereunder, which appointment shall be promptly made from among the remaining Lenders (provided that any such Lender has agreed in writing to act as successor Agent hereunder) and written notice thereof shall be given to the Borrowers concurrently with such appointment. If in the case of resignation by the Agent no appointment of a successor Agent has been made by the Lenders and approved by the Borrowers within 30 days, the resigning Agent may make such appointment from among the remaining Lenders on behalf of the Lenders, and shall forthwith give notice of such appointment to the Lenders and the Borrowers.

(4)   No amendments to the US Swing Line Facility or the Canadian Swing Line Facility shall be made without the consent of the US Swing Line Lender or the Canadian Swing Line Lender, respectively.

14.11 Failure of Lender to Fund

(1)   Unless the Agent has actual knowledge that a Revolver/Swing Line Lender has not made or will not make available to the Agent for value on a Drawdown Date the applicable amount required from such Revolver/Swing Line Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that such amount has been or will be received from such Revolver/Swing Line Lender when so due and the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact received by the Agent from such Revolver/Swing Line Lender on such Drawdown Date and the Agent has made available a corresponding amount to such Borrower on such Drawdown Date as aforesaid, such Revolver/Swing Line Lender shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the Interbank Reference Rate per annum multiplied by (ii) the amount that should have been paid to the Agent by such Revolver/Swing Line Lender on such Drawdown Date and was not, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from and including such Drawdown Date to but excluding the date on which the amount is received by the Agent from such Revolver/Swing Line Lender and the denominator of which is 365. A certificate of the Agent containing details of the amount owing by a Revolver/Swing Line Lender under this Section shall be binding and conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If any such amount is not in fact received by the Agent from such Revolver/Swing Line Lender on such Drawdown Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover from the applicable Borrower, on demand, the related amount made available by the Agent to

- 117 -

such Borrower as aforesaid together with interest thereon at the applicable rate per annum payable by the applicable Borrower hereunder.

(2)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.11(1), if any Revolver/Swing Line Lender fails to make available to the Agent its Proportionate Share of any Advance, which for greater certainty includes a deemed Advance, (such Revolver/Swing Line Lender being herein called the “Defaulting Lender”) the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such failure by the Defaulting Lender to the applicable Borrower (except where such failure relates to a deemed Advance) and the other Revolver/Swing Line Lenders. The Agent shall then forthwith give notice to the Revolver/Swing Line Lenders that any Revolver/Swing Line Lender may make available to the Agent all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Proportionate Share of such Advance (but in no way shall any Lender be obliged to do so) in the place of the Defaulting Lender. If more than one Revolver/Swing Line Lender gives notice that it is prepared to make funds available in the place of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances and the aggregate of the funds which such Revolver/Swing Line Lenders (herein collectively called the “Contributing Lenders” and individually called the “Contributing Lender”) are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the Advance which the Defaulting Lender failed to make, then each Contributing Lender shall be deemed to have given notice that it is prepared to make available its Proportionate Share of such Advance based on the Contributing Lenders’ relative commitments to advance in such circumstances. If any Contributing Lender makes funds available in the place of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances, then the Defaulting Lender shall pay to any Contributing Lender making the funds available in its place, forthwith on demand, any amount advanced on its behalf together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to such Advance from the date of advance to the date of payment, against payment by the Contributing Lender making the funds available of all interest received in respect of the Advance from the applicable Borrower. The failure of any Revolver/Swing Line Lender to make available to the Agent its Proportionate Share of any Advance as required herein shall not relieve any other Revolver/Swing Line Lender of its obligations to make available to the Agent its Proportionate Share of any Advance as required herein. Subject to Section 17.18, no Advance by a Contributing Lender(s) hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Contributing Lender as a result of such Contributing Lender’s increased exposure following such Advance.

14.12 Payments by Agent

(1)  For greater certainty, the following provisions shall apply to any and all payments made by the Agent to the Lenders hereunder:

(a) the Agent shall be under no obligation to make any payment (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) to any Lender until an amount in respect of such payment has been received by the Agent from the applicable Borrower;

(b) if the Agent receives less than the full amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount owing by a Borrower under this Agreement, then subject to Section 8.02 the Agent shall have no obligation to remit to each Lender

- 118 -

any amount other than such Lender’s Proportionate Share of that amount which is the amount actually received by the Agent;

(c) if any Lender advances more or less than its Proportionate Share of Credit Facilities, such Lender’s entitlement to such payment shall be increased or reduced, as the case may be, in proportion to the amount actually advanced by such Lender;

(d) the Agent acting reasonably and in good faith shall, after consultation with the Lenders in the case of any dispute, determine in all cases the amount of all payments to which each Lender is entitled and such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding and conclusive;

(e) upon request, the Agent shall deliver a statement detailing any of the payments to the Lenders referred to herein; and

(f) all payments by the Agent to a Lender hereunder shall be made to such Lender at its address set forth in the signature pages on this Agreement or on the applicable Assignment Agreement unless notice to the contrary is received by the Agent from such Lender.

(2)  Unless the Agent has actual knowledge that a Borrower has not made or will not make a payment to the Agent for value on the date in respect of which such Borrower has notified the Agent that the payment will be made and except to the extent that the Agent has received notice under Section 8.02, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that such payment has been or will be received from the applicable Borrower when due and the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in reliance upon such assumption, pay the Lenders corresponding amounts. If the payment by a Borrower is in fact not received by the Agent on the required date and the Agent has made available corresponding amounts to the Lenders, such Borrower shall, without limiting its other obligations under this Agreement, indemnify the Agent against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of profit), damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on or incurred by the Agent as a result. A certificate of the Agent with respect to any amount owing by a Borrower under this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owing in the absence of manifest error.

14.13 Direct Payments

The Lenders agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and except as necessary to adjust for Advances that are not in each Lender’s Proportionate Share under the applicable Credit Facilities, all sums received by a Lender relating to this Agreement or by virtue of the Security, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or compensation (pursuant to Section 8.02 or otherwise) or by counterclaim, cross-action or as proceeds of realization of any Security or otherwise, shall be shared by each Lender in its Proportionate Share and each Lender undertakes to do all such things as may be reasonably required to give full effect to this Section, including without limitation, the purchase from other Lenders of a portion thereof by the Lender who has received

- 119 -

an amount in excess of its Proportionate Share as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess amount rateably in its Proportionate Share with the other Lenders. If any sum which is so shared is later recovered from the Lenders who originally received it, the Lender shall restore its Proportionate Share of such sum to such Lenders, without interest. If any Lender (a “Receiving Lender”) shall obtain any payment of moneys due under this Agreement as referred to above, the Receiving Lender shall forthwith remit such payment to the Agent and, upon receipt, the Agent shall distribute such payment in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, absent an Event of Default, all sums received by the US Swing Line Lender without respect to the payment of a US Swing Line Loan shall be retained by the US Swing Line Lender and applied to the outstanding US Swing Line Loans.

14.14 Acknowledgements, Representations and Covenants of Lenders

(1)   It is acknowledged and agreed by each Lender that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness, Property, affairs, status and nature of the Obligors. Accordingly, each Lender confirms to the Agent that it has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Agent (a) to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy or completeness of any information provided by the Obligors under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein contemplated (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Lender by the Agent) or (b) to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, Property, affairs, status or nature of the Obligors.

(2)  Each Lender represents and warrants that it has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement.

(3)  Each of the Lenders acknowledges and confirms that in the event that the Agent does not receive payment in accordance with this Agreement, it shall not be the obligation of the Agent to maintain the Credit Facilities in good standing nor shall any Lender have recourse to the Agent in respect of any amounts owing to such Lender under this Agreement.

(4)  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to advance its Proportionate Share of Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is independent and in no way related to the obligation of any other Lender hereunder.

(5)  Each Lender hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement and acknowledges that it is satisfied with the form and content of such documents.

(6)  Except to the extent recovered by the Agent from a Borrower, promptly following demand therefor, each Lender shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to such Lender’s Proportionate Share of any and all reasonable costs, expenses, claims, losses and liabilities incurred by the Agent in connection with this Agreement except for those incurred by reason of the Agent’s negligence or wilful misconduct.

(7)  Each Lender shall respond promptly to each request by the Agent for the consent of such Lender required hereunder.

- 120 -

14.15 Rights of Agent

(1)  In administering the Credit Facilities, the Agent may retain, at the expense of the Lenders if such expenses are not recoverable from a Borrower, such solicitors, counsel, auditors and other experts and agents as the Agent may select, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith after consultation with the Lenders.

(2)  The Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by the proper individual or individuals, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying as to legal matters upon opinions of independent legal advisors selected by it. The Agent may also assume that any representation made by a Borrower is true and that no Event of Default or Pending Event of Default has occurred unless the officers or employees of the Lender acting as Agent, active in their capacity as officers or employees responsible for a Borrower’s account, have actual knowledge to the contrary or have received notice to the contrary from any other party to this Agreement.

(3)  Except in its own right as a Lender, the Agent shall not be required to advance its own funds for any purpose, and in particular, shall not be required to pay with its own funds insurance premiums, taxes or public utility charges or the cost of repairs or maintenance with respect to the assets which are the subject matter of the Security, nor shall it be required to pay with its own funds the fees of solicitors, counsel, auditors, experts or agents engaged by it as permitted hereby.

(4)  The Agent may round an individual Lender’s Proportionate Share of any Advance to the nearest $1,000 in Canadian Dollars or United States Dollars, as the case may be.

14.16 Collective Action of the Lenders

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the remedies provided under the Credit Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder are to be exercised not severally, but by the Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including, without limitation, any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder but that any such action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement of the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required. Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given by the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, it shall co-operate fully with the Agent to the extent requested by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of the instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders.

- 121 -

14.17 Non-Funding Lenders

(1)  Each Non-Funding Lender shall, unless such Lender has provided notice to the Agent prior to the date of this Agreement that it is not permitted to do so or has become subject to a Bail-in Action (collectively, a “prohibited Lender”), be required to provide to the Agent (A) cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to 105% of such Non-Funding Lender’s Proportionate Share of the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, and (B) cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount, as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent in its discretion, equal to all other obligations of such Non-Funding Lender to the Agent that are owing or may become owing pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, such Non-Funding Lender’s obligation to pay its Proportionate Share of any indemnification or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by the Borrowers. Such cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Agent in one or more cash collateral accounts which accounts shall be in the name of the Agent and shall not be required to be interest bearing. The Agent shall be entitled to apply the foregoing cash and Cash Equivalents in accordance with Section 12.11. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as there is a Non-Funding Lender it shall be within the sole and joint determination of the Issuing Lender as to whether it is agreeable to issue any new Letters of Credit or extend or renew any expiring Letters of Credit. Should a Non-Funding Lender be a prohibited Lender, each of the other Revolver/Swing Line Lenders agree that they shall, at no time to exceed their respective Revolver/Swing Line Facility Commitment, increase the Proportionate Share of their funding obligations under outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the cash or Cash Equivalents (the “Cash Amount”) that were required, but were not, posted by the Non-Funding Lender. In the event that the Revolving Facility Commitment is drawn in an amount that does not allow the applicable Revolver/Swing Line Lenders to increase their Proportionate Share of their funding obligations under outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient equal to the Cash Amount, the Borrowers shall provide to the Agent cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to the Cash Amount. For certainty, the provisions contained herein pertaining to a prohibited Lender shall not exonerate or release such Non-Funding Lender from any of its obligations hereunder and should any Lender fund an amount that should have been funded by the Non-Funding Lender, the other Lenders shall have recourse against the Non-Funding Lender to the extent of the amount that they have funded beyond that which they would have been obliged to fund but for the Non-Funding Lender.

(2)   Neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender (including, without limitation, a Non-Funding Lender) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with amounts payable by a Borrower to a Non-Funding Lender and received and deposited by Agent in a cash collateral account and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement save and except for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final non-appealable judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(3)   The Agent shall be entitled to set off any Non-Funding Lender’s Proportionate Share of all payments received from a Borrower against such Non-Funding Lender’s obligations to fund payments and Advances required to be made by it and to purchase participations required to be purchased by it in each case under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Agent shall be entitled to withhold and deposit in one or more non-interest bearing cash collateral accounts in the name of the Agent all amounts (whether principal, interest, fees or

- 122 -

otherwise) received by Agent and due to a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement which amounts shall be used by Agent (A) first, to reimburse (I) the Agent for any amounts owing to it by the Non-Funding Lender pursuant to any Credit Document, and then to reimburse (II) the Issuing Lender for any amounts paid by it that has not been fully reimbursed due to such Non-Funding Lender not funding its Proportionate Share of the applicable Advance, (B) second, to repay any Advances made by a Lender in order to fund a shortfall created by a Non-Funding Lender which repayment shall be in the form of an assignment by each such Lender of such Advance to the Non-Funding Lender, (C) third, (I) first, to cash collateralize all other obligations of such Non-Funding Lender to the Agent owing pursuant to this Agreement in such amount as shall be determined from time to time by the Agent in its discretion including, without limitation, such Non-Funding Lender’s obligation to pay its Proportionate Share of any indemnification or expense reimbursement amounts not paid by a Borrower and (II), second, to maintain cash collateral for a Non-Funding Lender’s Proportionate Share of reimbursement obligations for Letters of Credit, and (D) fourth, at the Agent’s discretion, to fund from time to time the Non-Funding Lender’s Proportionate Share of Advances under the Revolver Facility Commitment.

(4)   For certainty, a Non-Funding Lender shall have no voting or consent rights with respect to matters under this Agreement or other Credit Documents provided that any waiver, amendment or modification that requires the consent of either the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders shall require the consent of the Non-Funding Lender if the Non-Funding Lender would be treated differently than the other Lenders in a material manner. Accordingly, the Commitments and the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances owing to any Non-Funding Lender shall be disregarded in determining Majority Lenders and all Lenders or all affected Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a Non-Funding Lender (i) fund all outstanding Advances that it previously failed to fund and pay all other amounts owing to Agent, and (ii) confirm in writing to the Agent that there is no reasonable likelihood that it will subsequently again become a Non-Funding Lender, then such Lender shall thereafter be entitled to vote and shall have consent rights in the same manner and fashion as if it were not a Non-Funding Lender.

14.18 Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Arrangements

No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefit of any guarantee or any Property by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any guarantee or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Documents or otherwise in respect of the Property (including the release or impairment of any Property) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIV to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Cash Management Agreements and Hedge Arrangements unless the Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

- 123 -

14.19 Erroneous Payments

(a) If the Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Issuing Lender, or any Person (and each of their respective successors and assigns) who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender (any such Lender or Issuing Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 14.19 and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of interbank interest and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding Section 14.19(a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

- 124 -

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender shall (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.19(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.19(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 14.19(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender under any Credit Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding Section 14.19(a).

(d)

(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Accommodations (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Accommodations (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute

- 125 -

and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any documents evidencing such Accommodations to the Borrowers or the Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such documents shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Agent will reflect in the register its ownership interest in the Accommodations subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 16.02 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Accommodations acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Accommodation (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Agent on or with respect to any such Accommodations acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Accommodations are then owned by the Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or

- 126 -

portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender, as the case may be) under the Credit Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Credit Facilities that have been assigned to the Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Obligors; provided that this Section 14.19 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.”

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 14.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

ARTICLE 15 – TAXES, CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES AND TAXES

15.01 Change in Law

In the event of any change after the date hereof in any Applicable Law (a “Change in Law”) or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any governmental agency, central bank or other authority or entity charged with the administration thereof which now or hereafter (a) subjects any Lender to any Tax or changes the basis of taxation, or increases any existing Tax, on payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable by any Obligor to such Lender under any Credit Document (except for Taxes on the overall net income or net capital of such Lender); (b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by or any other acquisition of funds by, an office of any Lender; or (c) imposes on any Lender or requires there to be maintained by any Lender any capital adequacy or

- 127 -

additional capital requirements in respect of any Advances or Lender’s Commitments hereunder or any other condition with respect to any Credit Document, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to, or reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder or its effective return hereunder in respect of making, maintaining or funding its participation in such Advance under the Credit Facilities, such Lender shall determine that amount of money which shall compensate such Lender for such increase in cost or reduction in income or return (herein referred to as “Additional Compensation”). Upon a Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.01 the Lender shall promptly so notify the applicable Obligor and the Agent. The Lender shall provide to the applicable Obligor and the Agent a photocopy of the relevant law, rule, guideline, regulation, treaty or official directive and a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Lender setting forth the Additional Compensation and the basis of calculation therefor, which shall be conclusive evidence of such Additional Compensation in the absence of manifest error. The applicable Obligor shall pay to the Lender within ten (10) Business Days of the giving of such notice such Lender’s Additional Compensation calculated to the date of such notification. Each of the Lenders shall be entitled to be paid such Additional Compensation from time to time to the extent that the provisions of this Section 15.01 are then applicable notwithstanding that any Lender has previously been paid any Additional Compensation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives concerning capital adequacy and/or liquidity promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements and/or a Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority or any United States, Canadian or foreign regulatory authority) shall, in each case, be deemed a “Change in Law” regardless of the date enacted, adopted, applied or issued.

15.02 Prepayment of Rateable Portion

Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, if a Lender gives the notice provided for in Section 15.01 with respect to any Advance (an “Affected Loan”), a Borrower may, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to that effect given to such Lender and to the Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), prepay in full without penalty such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Affected Loan outstanding together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid up to the date of such prepayment and such Additional Compensation as may be applicable to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by the Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Affected Loan or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, and upon such payment being made that Lender’s obligations to make such Affected Loans to such Borrower under this Agreement shall terminate.

15.03 Illegality

If after the date hereof the adoption of any Applicable Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any governmental or other authority or central bank or comparable agency or any other entity charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by a Lender with any request or direction

- 128 -

(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency or entity, now or hereafter makes it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, fund or maintain an Advance under the Credit Facilities or to give effect to its obligations in respect of such an Advance, such Lender may, by written notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and to the Agent declare its obligations under this Agreement to be terminated whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and such Borrower shall prepay within the time required by such law (or at the end of such longer period as such Lender at its discretion has agreed) the principal of such Advance together with accrued interest, such Additional Compensation as may be applicable to the date of such payment and all costs, losses and expenses incurred by the Lenders by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds or for any other reason whatsoever resulting from the repayment of such Advance or any part thereof on other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. If any such change shall only affect a portion of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement which is, in the opinion of such Lender and the Agent, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the Agent, the other Lenders or the Obligors hereunder, such Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Advances whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Advances or to convert US Base Rate Advances to SOFR Advances shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining US Base Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the US Base Rate, the interest rate on which US Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the US Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Advances of such Lender to US Base Rate Advances (the interest rate on which US Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the US Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advance to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advance and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the US Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending

- 129 -

Office to make, maintain or fund Advances whose interest is determined by reference to Adjusted Term CORRA, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted Term CORRA, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term CORRA Advances or to convert Prime Rate Advances to Term CORRA Advances shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Prime Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term CORRA component of the Prime Rate, the interest rate on which Prime Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term CORRA component of the Prime Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Adjusted Term CORRA of such Lender to Prime Rate Advances (the interest rate on which Prime Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term CORRA component of the Prime Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term CORRA Advance to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term CORRA Advance and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Adjusted Term CORRA, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Prime Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term CORRA component thereof until the Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted Term CORRA. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

15.04 Taxes

All payments to be made to the Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes; provided, however, if any Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld from any interest or other amount payable to the Agent or any Lender under any Credit Document (except Taxes imposed on the net income or capital of such person), the amount so payable to the Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender, on a net basis after payment of all Taxes (including all Taxes imposed on any additional amounts payable under this subsection), interest or any such other amount payable under such Credit Document at the rate or in the amount specified in such Credit Document. If a payment to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to US federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Agent such documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower (or the Agent) sufficient for such Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements. The Obligors shall be fully liable and responsible for and shall, promptly following receipt of a request from the Agent, pay to the Agent any and all Taxes in the nature of sales, stamp, use, goods and services, Taxes payable under the laws of Canada, any Province of Canada, the United States of America, any

- 130 -

State of the United States of America or any other country or jurisdiction with respect to any and all goods and services made available under the Credit Documents to any Obligor by the Agent and the Lenders but not including any Taxes on the overall net income or net capital of the Agent and the Lenders. Whenever any Taxes are payable by an Obligor, as promptly as possible thereafter it shall send to the Agent, for the account of the Agent and each affected lender, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment of such Taxes. If an Obligor fails to pay any Taxes when due or if an Obligor fails to remit to the Agent the required documentary evidence of such payment, the Obligors shall indemnify and save harmless the Agent and the Lenders from any incremental Taxes, interest, penalties or other liabilities that may become payable by the Agent or by any Lender or to which the Agent or any Lender may be subjected as a result of any such failure. A certificate of the Agent or any Lender as to the amount of any such Taxes, interest or penalties and containing reasonable details of the calculation of such Taxes, interest or penalties shall be, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the amount of such Taxes, interest or penalties, as the case may be. As of the date of this Agreement, each Lender confirms that it is not a non-resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

FAQ

What did Boyd Group Services Inc. (BGSI) file in this Form 6-K?

Boyd Group Services filed a Form 6-K attaching its Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The agreement governs revolving, swing line and term loan facilities for its Canadian and U.S. borrowers, setting key definitions, covenants, security and default provisions for the company’s core bank financing.

How large is Boyd Group’s new term loan facility under the amended credit agreement?

The agreement establishes a dedicated Term Facility of US$125,000,000 for the U.S. borrower. This term loan sits alongside the revolving and swing line facilities and amortizes on its own schedule, with a stated maturity date of March 17, 2027, distinct from the revolver maturity.

How does the credit agreement support Boyd Group’s planned Hudson Acquisition?

The agreement defines the Hudson Acquisition with an approximate purchase price of US$1,300,000,000 and creates a specific Hudson Acquisition Advance. That advance allows up to US$210,000,000 under the revolver to fund the acquisition, including up to US$65,000,000 for related financing fees and direct transaction costs.

When do Boyd Group’s amended credit facilities mature?

The Revolver and Swing Line Credit Facilities carry a maturity date of August 20, 2030. The separate Term Facility, used by the U.S. borrower, has an earlier maturity date of March 17, 2027. These dates define the outer life of the respective borrowing arrangements in the agreement.

What key financial metrics drive pricing and covenants in Boyd Group’s credit agreement?

Pricing and covenants are built around Adjusted EBITDA, Total Funded Debt and Senior Funded Debt. An Applicable Margin grid uses the Total Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, while other tests reference the Interest Coverage Ratio and Senior Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to assess leverage and service capacity.

What additional debt structures does the Boyd Group credit agreement permit?

The agreement allows Permitted Unsecured Notes and Permitted Promissory Notes up to a combined US$1,000,000,000. These instruments must be unsecured, effectively subordinated to the credit facilities, avoid scheduled principal payments before revolver maturity, and have terms no more restrictive than the bank agreement.
