         Revolving Loans) and Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount or Face
         Amount, as the case may be, of outstanding Canadian Term Loans
         represent an amount greater than 66-2/3% of the sum of (a) the Total
         Canadian Sub-Commitment less the Canadian Sub-Commitments of Defaulting
         Lenders plus (b) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the principal
         amount or Face Amount, as the case may be, of all Canadian Term Loans
         less the Canadian Term Loans of Defaulting Lenders (or, after the
         termination of the Total Canadian Sub-Commitment, the sum of (a) the
         then aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount or Face
         Amount, as the case may be, of Canadian Revolving Loans of
         Non-Defaulting Lenders plus (b) the then aggregate Dollar Equivalent of
         the principal amount or Face Amount, as the case may be, of Canadian
         Term Loans outstanding to all Non-Defaulting Lenders)."
