reflecting the amount of such New Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

approval of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties
herein set forth, and in order to facilitate loans and repayments between Settlement Dates, PNC
Bank may, at its option, cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make Swing Loans to the
Borrower at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the
Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of $15,000,000.00,
provided that the aggregate principal amount of PNC Bank’s Swing Loans and the Revolving Credit
Loans of all the Lenders at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitments of all the Lenders. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.1(c).

shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to
Section 2.4(a) [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] in accordance with its
Ratable Share. If at any time the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of any Lender’s Revolving
Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower shall exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment
minus its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the then outstanding Swing Loans
and the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations, the Borrower shall immediately
repay such excess without demand or prior notice. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are
several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the
Obligations of the Borrower to any other party, nor



 


- 24 -









 






shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations
hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or
after the Expiration Date.

Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable
commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed
on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed)
times the average daily difference between the amount of (i) the Revolving Credit
Commitments, and (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage (and for purposes of this computation, Swing
Loans shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts under PNC Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment)
provided, however, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving
Credit Commitment of a Non-Complying Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became
a Non-Complying Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such
Lender shall be a Non-Complying Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall
otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided
further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment
of a Non-Complying Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Non-Complying Lender. Subject to the
proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each
Payment Date.



(b) Transaction Fees.



The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date for the account of
each Lender, as consideration for such Lender’s Commitment, a nonrefundable transaction fee equal
to (i) 0.2% of an amount equal to that portion of such Lender’s Commitment on the Closing Date
equal to such Lender’s Commitment under the Original Agreement immediately prior to the Closing
Date, plus (ii) 0.3% of an amount equal to that portion of such Lender’s Commitment in excess of
such Lender’s Commitment under the Original Agreement (or, if such Lender was not a lender under
the Original Agreement, equal to such Lender’s Commitment).

form of Exhibit 2.4 or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter,
facsimile or telex in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the

telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Loan
Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the proposed Borrowing Date, (B) the aggregate
amount of the proposed Loans (expressed in the currency in which such Loans are to be funded)
comprising each Borrowing Tranche, provided that the amount of any Borrowing
Tranche in Dollars shall be in integral multiples of $100,000.00 and not less than $1,000,000.00
for each Borrowing Tranche under the LIBOR Rate Option and not less than the lesser of $500,000.00

Loans comprising each Borrowing Tranche; and (E) in the case of a Borrowing Tranche to which the

confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being
understood that PNC Bank may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic
request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Swing Loan Request
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the principal amount of such
Swing Loan, which shall be not less than $200,000.00. Each Swing Loan Request shall be deemed a
representation by the Borrower that it has satisfied all of the conditions for the Swing Loan so
requested set forth in this Agreement.



2.5 Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Presumptions by the Administrative
Agent; Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.



(a) Making Revolving Credit Loans.



Promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Loan Request pursuant to Section
2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the
Borrower and the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Revolving Credit Loans as
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with


 


- 26 -









 





Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans].
Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Administrative
Agent in the appropriate currencies such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the
Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such
purpose and subject to Section 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving
Credit Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and/or Optional Currencies, as applicable, and
immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., on the applicable Borrowing
Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative
Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with
its own funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender
shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.5(b) [Presumptions by the
Administrative Agent].



(b) Presumptions by the Administrative Agent.



Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed
date of any Revolving Credit Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative
Agent such Lender’s share of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.5(a)
[Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender
and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable Revolving Credit Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without
prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent.



(c) Making Swing Loans.



So long as PNC Bank elects to make Swing Loans, PNC Bank shall, after receipt by it of a Swing
Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4(b) [Swing Loan Request], fund such Swing Loan to the
Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 3:00
o’clock p.m. Philadelphia time on the Borrowing Date.



(d) Repayment of Loans.



The Borrower shall repay the Loans together with all outstanding interest thereon on the
Expiration Date. Except as set forth in the immediate following sentence, the Borrower shall also
repay the Loans together with all outstanding interest thereon prior to any



 


- 27 -









 






Loan Party making any principal payment on any Indebtedness for borrowed money which is
unsecured or is subordinated to the Obligations, whereupon the Commitments shall terminate.
Notwithstanding the immediately prior sentence the Loans shall not become due and payable and the
Commitments shall not terminate solely due to the payment of principal of the Parent’s 3%
Convertible Notes due 2025 solely as a result of the exercise of the repurchase option by any
holder of, or the exercise of any redemption right by the Parent with respect to, such Convertible
Notes on June 1, 2010, or other payment, redemption or purchase permitted under Section
7.2(n) [Repayment of Indebtedness], provided that the Senior Leverage Ratio is
2.0 to 1.0 or less both before and after giving effect to such payment (a “Permitted
Repayment”).



(e) Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.



PNC Bank may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand
repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal
to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans,
plus, if PNC Bank so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be
obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment.
Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base
Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section
2.4(a) [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] without regard to any of the requirements of that
provision. PNC Bank shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice
by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this
Section 2.5(e) and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be
unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions
specified in Section 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] are then satisfied) by the time
PNC Bank so requests, which shall not be earlier than 2:00 p.m. Philadelphia time on the Business
Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice from PNC.



2.6 Notes. The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount
(a) of the Revolving Credit Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall
be evidenced by a revolving credit Note dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender
in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, and (b) of the Swing
Loans made to it by PNC Bank, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by the Swing Loan
Note, dated the Closing Date payable to the order of PNC Bank in the face amount of $15,000,000.00.



2.7 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used for general corporate
purposes, including working capital financing, financing capital expenditures and financing
permitted acquisitions provided that except for a Permitted Repayment made when
there exists no Event of Default or Potential Default the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of
the Loans, directly or indirectly, to pay any Indebtedness for borrowed money of any Loan Party or
any of their Subsidiaries.

2.8 Letter of Credit Subfacility.

The Borrower may at any time prior to the Expiration Date request the issuance of a letter of
credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) which may be denominated in either Dollars or an
Optional Currency on behalf of itself or another Loan Party, or the amendment or extension of an
existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or having such other Loan Party deliver to the Issuing
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed application and agreement for Letters
of Credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as the Issuing
Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days,
or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date
of issuance. The letters of credit issued prior to, and outstanding on, the Closing Date as
identified on Schedule 2.8 attached hereto are deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder.
Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit application, the Issuing Lender shall confirm with
the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a
copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from any
Lender, Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of
issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable
conditions in Section 6 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] is not
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of
the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.8, the Issuing Lender or any of the Issuing
Lender’s Affiliates will issue a Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension,
provided that each Letter of Credit shall in no event expire later than five (5)
Business Days prior to the Expiration Date and provided further that in no event shall (i) the
Dollar Equivalent amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time,
$30,000,000.00 (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”) or (ii) the Dollar Equivalent amount of
the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each request
by the Borrower for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to
be a representation by the Borrower that it is in compliance with the preceding sentence and with
Section 6 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] after giving effect to
the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. The Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be available for the issuance of stand-by, documentary and commercial letters of
credit.



Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any
Letter of Credit, if any Lender is at such time a Non-Complying Lender hereunder, unless such
Issuing Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Non-Complying
Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Non-Complying Lender (it being
understood that the Issuing Lender would consider the Borrower providing cash collateral to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, to secure the Non-Complying Lender’s
Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit a satisfactory arrangement).


 


- 29 -









 





(b) Letter of Credit Fees.



The Borrower shall pay in Dollars (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of
the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) computed at the Applicable Letter of Credit
Fee Rate, provided that the share of such fee to which any Non-Complying Lender
would otherwise be entitled shall be payable to the Issuing Lender, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender
for its own account a fronting fee computed at 0.125% per annum (in each case computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily average
Dollar Equivalent Letter of Credit Obligations and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each
Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall also pay in Dollars
to the Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender’s sole account the Issuing Lender’s then in effect
customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the
Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance,
maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration
of letters of credit.



(c) Disbursements, Reimbursement.



Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation
in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable
Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of
such drawing, respectively.



(i) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or
transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse
(such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a
“Reimbursement Obligation”) the Issuing Lender in Dollars prior to 12:00 noon, Philadelphia
time on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each
such date, a “Drawing Date”) by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount so paid by the Issuing Lender. In
the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for
the full Dollar Equivalent amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon,
Philadelphia time, on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender
thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by
the Lenders under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of
Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other
than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.8(c)(i) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing;
provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.



(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to subsection (i) make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount in Dollars and in immediately
available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of



 


- 30 -









 






the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall each be deemed to have made a Revolving
Credit Loan in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in that amount. If any Lender so
notified fails to make available in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Dollar Equivalent amount by no
later than 2:00 p.m., Philadelphia time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such
Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender
makes such payment (A) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the
first three (3) days following the Drawing Date, and (B) at a rate per annum equal to the rate
applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing
Date. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in
subsection (i) above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to
enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its
obligation under this subsection (ii).



(iii) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit
Loans under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by subsection
(i), because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2
[Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter
of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing. Such
Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall
bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate
Option. Each Lender shall make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
Lender as set forth in subsection (ii) and such payment shall be deemed to be a payment in respect
of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation Advance”)
from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.8(c).



(d) Repayment of Participation Advances.



(i) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrower (A) in reimbursement of any payment made by
the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a
Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (B) in payment of interest on such a payment
made by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative
Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent
shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of
any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing
Lender.



(ii) If the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender is required at any time to return to
any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency
Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8 in reimbursement of a payment
made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each



 


- 31 -









 






Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so
returned by the Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the
date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.



(e) Documentation.



Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing Lender’s application and
agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary
practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan
Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement,
this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross
negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence
and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or
those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.



(f) Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.



In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents
and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that
they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.



(g) Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.



Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans
or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.8(c) [Disbursements,
Reimbursement], as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the
Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Section 2.8 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:



(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, the Borrower or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever, or which any Loan Party may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its
Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;



(ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter
of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 [Revolving Credit
Commitments], Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests],
Section 2.5 [Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Presumptions by the
Administrative Agent; Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans] or
Section 6.2 [Each Loan and Letter of Credit] or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement
for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such



 


- 32 -









 






conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation
of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.8(c) [Disbursements,
Reimbursement];



(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;



(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any Lender
against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment,
counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may have at any
time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of
Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the
Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any
underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary
for which any Letter of Credit was procured);



(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any
signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document
presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in
connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services
relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates
has been notified thereof;



(vi) payment by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit;



(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit,
or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit,
or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any
property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;



(viii) any failure by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of
Credit in the form requested by any Loan Party, unless the Issuing Lender has received written
notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three (3) Business Days after the Issuing Lender
shall have furnished such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit
and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;



(ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial
or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;



(x) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;



(xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party;


 


- 33 -









 





(xii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;



(xiii) the fact that the Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the
Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and



(xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing.



(h) Indemnity.



The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Lender and
any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims,
demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and
expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which the Issuing
Lender or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of
the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (i) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction or (ii) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Lender or any of Issuing
Lender’s Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such
dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future
de jure or de facto government or governmental authority or a material breach of Issuing Lender’s
obligations hereunder with respect thereto.



(i) Liability for Acts and Omissions.



As between any Loan Party and the Issuing Lender, or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such
Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by,
the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of
the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any
losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party
in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should
in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged
(even if the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity
or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any
such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in
part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be
transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of
Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or
any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or
not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in
the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such
Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the



 


- 34 -









 






misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing
under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of
the Issuing Lender or the its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any
governmental authority, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of,
any of the Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through
(viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any
Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or
expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any
change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.



Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender and each of its
Affiliates (A) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing
Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a
Letter of Credit, (B) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face
substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (C) may
honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was
pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise,
and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially
been honored, together with any interest paid by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (D) may honor
any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon
receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being
delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document
to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (E) may pay any paying or
negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where
such bank is located; and (F) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Issuing Lender
or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air
carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an
“Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject
of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such
Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.



In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above,
any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with the
Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or
omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting
liability to the Borrower or any Lender.



(j) Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements.



The Issuing Lender shall, on the first business day of each month, provide to Administrative
Agent and the Borrower a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance
satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the
account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of



 


- 35 -









 






any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other
information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Administrative Agent may request.



2.9 Utilization of Commitments in Optional Currencies.



(a) Periodic Computations of Dollar Equivalent Amounts of Loans and Letters of Credit
Outstanding.



The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of (i) proposed Revolving
Credit Loans or Letters of Credit to be denominated in an Optional Currency as of the requested
Borrowing Date or date of issuance, as the case may be, (ii) Letters of Credit Outstanding
denominated in an Optional Currency as of the last Business Day of each month, and (iii)
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency as of the end of each
Interest Period (each such date under clauses (i) through (iii), a “Computation Date”).



(b) Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund New Loans.



The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the
Borrower which are denominated in an Optional Currency if any Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh time) four (4) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such
Revolving Credit Loans that such Lender cannot provide its share of such Revolving Credit Loans in
such Optional Currency because (i) the making, maintenance or funding of such Optional Currency
Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good-faith with any
Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or
directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law) or (ii) after making
all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in the relevant Optional Currency for the
relevant Interest Period are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan in the London
interbank market. In the event the Administrative Agent receives a timely notice from a Lender
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower no later than
12:00 noon (Pittsburgh time) three (3) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving
Credit Loans that the Optional Currency is not then available for such Revolving Credit Loans, and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same. If the Borrower
receives a notice described in the preceding sentence, the Borrower may, by notice to the
Administrative Agent not later than 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh time) three (3) Business Days prior to
the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans, either (i) withdraw the Loan Request for such
Revolving Credit Loans, in which event the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of
the same and the Lenders shall not make such Revolving Credit Loans, or (ii) request that the
Revolving Credit Loans referred to in its Loan Request be made in Dollars or in a different
Optional Currency in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent or other Optional Currency Equivalent
Amount of such Revolving Credit Loans and which shall (A) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans
denominated in Dollars, bear interest under the Base Rate Option or the LIBOR Rate Option, as
elected by the Borrower, or (B) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional
Currency, bear interest under the LIBOR Rate Option, in which event the Administrative Agent shall
promptly deliver a notice to each Lender stating: (1) that such



 


- 36 -









 






Revolving Credit Loans shall be made in the applicable currency and shall bear interest under
the Base Rate Option or the LIBOR Rate Option, as applicable, (2) the aggregate amount of such
Revolving Credit Loans, and (3) such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Revolving Credit Loans. If the
Borrower does not withdraw such Loan Request before such time as provided in clause (i) or request
before such time that the requested Revolving Credit Loans referred to in its Loan Request be made
in Dollars or a different Optional Currency as provided in clause (ii), then (a) the Borrower shall
be deemed to have withdrawn such Loan Request and (b) the Administrative Agent shall promptly
deliver a notice to each Lender thereof and the Lenders shall not make such Revolving Credit Loans.



(c) Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund Renewals of the
LIBOR Rate Option.



If the Borrower delivers a Loan Request requesting that the Lenders renew the LIBOR Rate
Option with respect to an outstanding Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an
Optional Currency, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to renew such LIBOR Rate Option if any
Lender delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh time) four (4)
Business Days prior to effective date of such renewal that such Lender cannot continue to provide
Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency because (i) the making, maintenance or funding of
such Optional Currency Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in
good-faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with
any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law) or (ii)
after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in the relevant Optional
Currency for the relevant Interest Period are not available to such Lender with respect to such
Loan in the London interbank market. In the event the Administrative Agent receives a timely
notice from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the
Borrower no later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh time) three (3) Business Days prior to the renewal
date that the renewal of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then
available, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same.
If the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrower that any such renewal of Optional
Currency Loans is not then available, any notice of renewal with respect thereto shall be deemed
withdrawn, and such Optional Currency Loans shall be redenominated into Base Rate Loans in Dollars
with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Optional Currency
Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any such
redenomination, and in such notice, the Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar
Equivalent amount of the redenominated Optional Currency Loans as of the Computation Date with
respect thereto and such Lender’s Ratable Share thereof.



(d) Requests for Additional Optional Currencies.



The Borrower may deliver to the Administrative Agent a written request that Revolving Credit
Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in
addition to the currencies specified in the definition of “Optional Currency” herein provided that
such currency must be freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets, freely
transferable, freely convertible into Dollars and available to the Lenders in the applicable
interbank market. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the



 


- 37 -









 






Lenders of any such request promptly after the Administrative Agent receives such request.
The Administrative Agent and each Lender may grant or accept such request in their sole discretion.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the acceptance or rejection by the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of the Borrower’s request. The requested currency
shall be approved as an Optional Currency hereunder only if the Administrative Agent and all of the
Lenders approve of the Borrower’s request.



2.10 Currency Repayments. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
entire amount of principal of and interest on any Loan made in an Optional Currency shall be repaid
in the same Optional Currency in which such Loan was made, provided, however, that
if it is impossible or illegal for the Borrower to effect payment of a Loan in the Optional
Currency in which such Loan was made, or if the Borrower defaults in its obligations to do so, the
Required Lenders may at their option permit such payment to be made (a) at and to a different
location, subsidiary, affiliate or correspondent of the Administrative Agent, or (b) in the
Equivalent Amount of Dollars or (c) in an Equivalent Amount of such other currency (freely
convertible into Dollars) as the Required Lenders may solely at their option designate. Upon any
events described in (a) through (c) of the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall make such
payment, and the Borrower agrees to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss incurred by
any Lender arising from the cost to such Lender of any premium, any costs of exchange, the cost of
hedging and covering the Optional Currency in which such Loan was originally made, and from any
change in the value of Dollars, or such other currency, in relation to the Optional Currency that
was due and owing. Such loss shall be calculated for the period commencing with the first day of
the Interest Period for such Loan and continuing through the date of payment thereof. Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower’s
obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive termination of this Agreement.



2.11 Optional Currency Amounts. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the Administrative Agent may, with respect to notices by the Borrower for Loans in an Optional
Currency or voluntary prepayments of less than the full amount of an Optional Currency Borrowing
Tranche, engage in reasonable rounding of the Optional Currency amounts requested to be loaned or
repaid; and, in such event, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of such rounded amounts and the Borrower’s request or notice shall thereby be deemed to
reflect such rounded amounts.



3. INTEREST RATES.




3.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding
unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or LIBOR Rate
Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions
of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest
Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may
convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the
Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time
outstanding more than six (6) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and
provided further that if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is
continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the LIBOR Rate Option for any



 


- 38 -









 






Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest
under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject to the
obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 4.10 [Indemnity] in
connection with such conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by
any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan
shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate. Interest on the principal amount of each
Loan made in an Optional Currency shall be paid by the Borrower in such Optional Currency.



(a) Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options.



The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options
applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, except that no Loan to which the Base Rate Option shall
apply may be made in an Optional Currency:



(i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option. A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of
a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of
the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or



(ii) Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Option. A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and actual days elapsed, provided that, for Loans made in Optional
Currencies for which a 365-day basis is the only market practice available to the Administrative
Agent, such rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual days
elapsed) equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.



(b) Swing Line Interest Rate.



Only the Base Rate Option shall apply to the Swing Loans.



(c) Rate Quotations.



The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request
is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates and the applicable currency exchange rates
then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest or the calculation of
Equivalent Amounts which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.



3.2 Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a
LIBOR Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof at least four (4)
Business Days prior to the effective date of such Interest Rate Option, with respect to an Optional
Currency Loan, and three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such LIBOR Rate Option by
delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest
Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall
apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a LIBOR Rate Option:


 


- 39 -









 





(a) Amount of Borrowing Tranche.



The Dollar Equivalent amount of each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option
shall be in integral multiples of $100,000.00 and not less than $1,000,000.00; and



(b) Renewals.



In the case of the renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first
day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without
duplication in payment of interest for such day.



3.3 Interest After Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived:



(a) Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of
interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.8(b) [Letter of Credit
Fees] or Section 3.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased by 2.0% per
annum at the direction of Required Lenders;



(b) Other Obligations.At the direction of Required Lenders each other Obligation
hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate
of interest applicable under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2% per annum from the time
such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full; and



(c) Acknowledgment.



The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 3.3
reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially
greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional
compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by
Administrative Agent.



3.4 LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.



(a) Unascertainable.



If on any date on which a LIBOR Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent
shall have determined that:



(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such LIBOR Rate, or



(ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank
eurodollar market relating to the LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights
specified in Section 3.4(c) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].


 


- 40 -









 





(b) Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.



If at any time any Lender shall have determined that:



(i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies has
been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any
interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any
such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or



(ii) such LIBOR Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of
the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or



(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars or the
Optional Currency (as applicable) for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks
generally, to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender
with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,



(iv) then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4(c)
[Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].



(c) Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights.



In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4(a) [Unascertainable] above, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case
of an event specified in Section 3.4(b) [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
Available] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a
certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the
date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by
the Administrative Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to
allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Option or select an Optional
Currency (as applicable) shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later
notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the
Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances
giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Administrative
Agent makes a determination under Section 3.4(a) [Unascertainable] and the Borrower has
previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a
LIBOR Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification
shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option
otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of
a determination under Section 3.4(b) [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available],
the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 4.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a
LIBOR Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either (A) as applicable convert
such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or select a
different Optional Currency or Dollars or (B) prepay such Loan in accordance with Section
4.6



 


- 41 -









 






[Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment,
such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect
to such Loan upon such specified date.



3.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower fails to select a new
Interest Period or Optional Currency to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR
Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be
deemed to have (a) with respect to Dollar Loans, converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate
Option commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period, and (b) with respect to any
such Optional Currency Borrowing Tranche, continue the same Optional Currency therefor, but select
a one Month Interest Period, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.



4. PAYMENTS.




4.1 Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest,
Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due
from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action
therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the
Principal Office for the account of PNC Bank with respect to the Swing Loans, for the accounts of
the Issuing Bank and/or the ratable accounts of the Lenders (as provided in Section 2.8
[Letter of Credit Subfacility] with respect to payments respecting Letter of Credit Obligations and
fees payable under such Section, for the ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the
Revolving Credit Loans and for the account of the Administrative Agent with respect to the
Administrative Agent’s Fee in U.S. Dollars, except that payments of principal or interest shall be
made in the currency in which such Loan was made, and in immediately available funds, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute any such amounts payable to the Lenders in
immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m.
by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the
Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay
the Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in Dollars,
or the Overnight Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in an Optional Currency with
respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not
distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account,
ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the
statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under
this Agreement (including the Equivalent Amounts of the applicable currencies where such
computations are required) and shall be deemed an “account stated.”



4.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing shall be allocated to each Lender
according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest
Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest,
Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for the Administrative Agent’s Fee
and fronting or administrative fees charged by the Issuing Lender) or amounts due



 


- 42 -









 






from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided with respect to a
Non-Complying Lender or a Delinquent Lender and except as provided in Section 3.4(c)
[Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], Section 4.6(b) [Replacement of a Lender] or
Section 4.8 [Increased Costs]) be made in proportion to the applicable Loans outstanding
from each Lender and, if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of
each Lender. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the
Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to Swing
Loans shall be made by or to PNC Bank according to Section 2.5 [Making Revolving Credit
Loans and Swing Loans; Presumption by the Administrative Agent; Repayment of Revolving Credit
Loans; Borrowing to Repay Swing Loans].



4.3 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon
security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other
such obligations greater than its Ratable Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b)
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the
other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them,
provided that:



(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law
(including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and



(ii) the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any
payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan
Documents or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of
a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other
than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section
4.3 shall apply).



Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of
such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails at any time to comply with the
provisions of this Section 4.3 with respect to purchasing participations from the other
Lenders whereby such Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in
excess of its Ratable Share of such payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, when and



 


- 43 -









 






to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a
“Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as each such
delinquency and all of its obligations hereunder are satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be
deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of or
relating to outstanding Loans, Letters of Credit, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining
nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective Ratable Share of all
outstanding Loans and other unpaid Obligations of any of the Loan Parties. The Delinquent Lender
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders
in proportion to their respective Ratable Share of all outstanding Loans and other unpaid
Obligations of any of the Loan Parties. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in
full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all
outstanding Loans and other unpaid Obligations of any of the Loan Parties to the nondelinquent
Lenders, the Lenders’ respective Ratable Share of all outstanding Loans and unpaid Obligations have
returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the
nonpayment causing such delinquency.



4.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such
event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.



4.5 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall
be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the LIBOR Rate
Option applies shall be due and payable in the currency in which such Loan was made on the last day
of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3)
Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of
principal under Section 4.7 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall be made in the currency in which
such Loan was made and shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the
principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after
such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated
Expiration Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).



4.6 Voluntary Prepayments; Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.



(a) Right to Prepay.



The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole
or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.6(b)



 


- 44 -









 






[Replacement of a
Lender] below, in Section 4.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 4.10 [Indemnity]) in
the currency in which such Loan was made. Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the
Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one
(1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or no later than
12:00 p.m., Philadelphia time, on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the
following information:



(i) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;



(ii) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Revolving Credit
Loans and Swing Loans; and



(iii) the total principal amount and currency of such prepayment, the Dollar Equivalent of
which shall not be less than the lesser of the then outstanding amount or $100,000.00 for any Swing
Loan or $250,000.00 for any Revolving Credit Loan.



All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a
prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to
Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such
prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made in the currency in
which such Loan was made. Except as provided in Section 3.4(c) [Administrative Agent’s and
Lender’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing
Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied first to Loans to which
the Base Rate Option applies, then to Dollar Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option applies and then
to Optional Currency Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation
to indemnify the Lenders under Section 4.10 [Indemnity].



(b) Replacement of a Lender.



In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 3.4 [LIBOR Rate
Unascertainable, Etc.], (ii) requests compensation under Section 4.8 [Increased Costs], or
requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.9 [Taxes], (iii) is a Non-Complying Lender,
(iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary
supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 10.1 [Modifications,
Amendments or Waivers] then in any such event the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required
by, Section 10.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that:



(A) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 10.8 [Successors and Assigns];


 


- 45 -









 





(B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section
4.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);



(C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 4.8(a) [Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 4.9 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter; and



(D) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.



A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.



(c) Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.



The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit
Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments;
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii)
any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000.00 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000.00 in excess thereof , (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving
Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the
Revolving Facility Usage would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving
effect to any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the
Swing Line Commitment exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, each shall be
automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
The amount of any such Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Swing Line
pro rata or the Letter of Credit Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower or required by
clause (iv). Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving
Credit Commitment of each Lender pro rata. All fees accrued until the effective date of any
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such
termination.



4.7 Mandatory Prepayments.



(a) Sale of Assets.



Within five (5) Business Days of any sale of assets authorized by Section 7.2(g)
[Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries] for a purchase price (when added to the purchase price of
other assets sold during the same fiscal year) equal to or in excess of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000.00), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal (and simultaneous
reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments) equal to after-tax proceeds of



 


- 46 -









 






such sale (as estimated
in good faith by the Borrower) net of any such proceeds used within 365 days of such sale for the
purchase of property of a kind and use similar to the property sold. The Borrower shall also pay
simultaneously with such prepayment accrued interest on any principal amount of the Loans prepaid
under this clause (a).



(b) Material Recovery Event.



Within five (5) Business Days following any receipt by a Loan Party of property or casualty
insurance proceeds or condemnation award proceeds, (when added to other such proceeds received
during the same fiscal year), equal or exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), if the
recovered proceeds are not intended by such Loan Party to be used within 365 days for the repair,
replacement or restoration of damaged property (or on such 365th day if the Borrower intended to
use such proceeds for such repair, replacement or restoration but fails to do so within such
365-day period), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal (and simultaneous
reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments) equal to such proceeds not intended to be so used, or
not so used (as the case may be), together with accrued interest on such principal amount.



(c) Currency Fluctuations.



If on any Computation Date (i) the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage is greater than
the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of Loans in Optional Currencies shall
exceed $50,000,000.00, in the aggregate, or (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of Letters of Credit
Outstanding shall exceed $30,000,000.00, in each case as a result of a change in exchange rates
between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars, then the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower of the same. The Borrower shall pay or prepay Loans (subject to Borrower’s indemnity
obligations under Section 4.8 [Increase Costs] and Section 4.10 [Indemnity]) within
one (1) Business Day after receiving such notice such that after giving effect to such payments or
prepayments, (A) the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Revolving
Credit Commitments, and (B) the Dollar Equivalent of Loans in Optional Currencies shall not exceed
$50,000,000.00. With respect to the circumstance identified in clause (iii) of the first sentence
of this paragraph, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit Outstanding to the
extent of the amount by which the Dollar Equivalent of Letters of Credit Outstanding exceeds
$30,000,000.00.



(d) Application Among Interest Rate Options.



All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall first be applied among the
Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate
Option, then to Loans subject to a LIBOR Rate Option. In accordance with Section 4.10
[Indemnity], the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of
margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a LIBOR Rate
Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.


 


- 47 -









 





4.8 Increased Costs.



(a) Increased Costs Generally.



If any Change in Law shall:



(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance
charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR
Rate) or the Issuing Lender;



(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect
to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan under
the LIBOR Rate Option made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the
Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 4.9 [Taxes] and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax
payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender); or



(iii) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option made by
such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;



and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such
Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue
any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.



(b) Capital Requirements.



If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or
the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the
Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by,
such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which
such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time
the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be,



 


- 48 -









 






such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the
Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.



(c) Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New
Loans.



A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in Section 4.8(a) [Increased Costs Generally] or Section 4.8(b) [Capital
Requirements] and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.



(d) Delay in Requests.



Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s
right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required
to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs
incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof).



4.9 Taxes.



(a) Payments Free of Taxes.



Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by
applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative
Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and
(iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Official Body in
accordance with applicable Law.



(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.



Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.9(a) [Payments Free of Taxes] above, the
Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with
applicable Law.


 


- 49 -









 





(c) Indemnification by the Borrower.



The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender,
within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as
the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or
the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.



(d) Evidence of Payments.



As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower
to a Official Body, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.



(e) Status of Lenders.



Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under
the Law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to
which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or
times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
Notwithstanding the submission of any such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption
from U.S. withholding tax, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States
federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required
to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under §1.1441-7(b)
of the United States Income Tax Regulations. Further, the Administrative Agent is indemnified
under §1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any claims and demands of
any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and
withholds in accordance with regulations under §1441 of the Code. In addition, any Lender, if
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will
enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.



Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident
for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall



 


- 50 -









 






deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on
or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if
such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:



(i) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income
tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,



(ii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,



(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly
completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or



(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made.



4.10 Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section
4.8 [Increased Costs] or Section 4.9 [Taxes], the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender
against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or expense incurred
in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any loss or expense incurred in
connection with funds acquired by a Lender to fund or maintain Loans subject to a LIBOR Rate
Option) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any



(a) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option
applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such
payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or
prepayment is then due),



(b) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise)
in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] or
Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 4.6
[Voluntary Prepayments], or



(c) default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any failure of
the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest,
Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder.



If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify
the Borrower in writing of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination
may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and




 


- 51 -











 




averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to
indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail
the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such
Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.



4.11 Settlement Date Procedures. In order to minimize the transfer of funds between
the Lenders and the Agent, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and PNC Bank may
make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1(c) [Swing Loan Commitment] hereof during the
period between Settlement Dates. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on each Settlement Date, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving
Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a “Required Share”). Prior to 2:00 p.m.,
Philadelphia time, on such Settlement Date, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the
amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the
Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. The
Administrative Agent shall also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the
proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and may at its option effect settlement on any
other Business Day. These settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of
administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 4.11 shall relieve the
Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a Settlement Date
pursuant to Section 2.5 [Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Presumptions by the
Administrative Agent; Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowing to Repay Swing Loans]. The
Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to
pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay
immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the borrower to the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.



4.12 Interbank Market Presumption. For all purposes of this Agreement and each Note
with respect to any aspects of the LIBOR Rate, or any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option, or any
Optional Currency, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall be presumed to have obtained
rates, funding, currencies, deposits, and the like in the London interbank market regardless
whether it did so or not; and, each Lender’s and the Administrative Agent’s determination of
amounts payable under, and actions required or authorized by, Section 4.10 [Indemnity]
shall be calculated, at each Lender’s and the Administrative Agent’s option, as though each Lender
and the Administrative Agent funded each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option
through the purchase of deposits of the types and maturities corresponding to the deposits used as
a reference in accordance with the terms hereof in determining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such
Loans, whether in fact that is the case.




4.13 Judgment Currency.




(a) Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments.



If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due
hereunder or under a Note in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency
(the “Other Currency”), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent



 


- 52 -









 






permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the
Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which
final judgment is given.




(b) Indemnity in Certain Events.



The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from the Borrower to any Lender
hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment
or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any
Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender may in accordance with
normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount
of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the
Original Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment or payment, to indemnify such Lender against such loss.

not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose
the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law;
and



(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as
the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.



The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1
[Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] and Section 8.2 [Consequences of Event of
Default]) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of
Default



 


- 74 -









 






unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to
the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.



The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,

have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender,
the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the
Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such
Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of
Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.



9.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one
or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 9 shall apply
to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.



9.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give
notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval
from the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a
successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no such



 


- 75 -









 






successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any
of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section

successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if
not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Section 9 and Section 10.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective
Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.



If PNC Bank resigns as Administrative Agent under this Section 9.6, PNC Bank shall
also resign as an Issuing Lender. Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor shall (i) succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
PNC Bank as the retiring Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent and PNC Bank shall be discharged
from all of its respective duties and obligations as Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent under
the Loan Documents, and (ii) issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit
issued by PNC Bank, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement
satisfactory to PNC Bank to effectively assume the obligations of PNC Bank with respect to such
Letters of Credit.



9.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking



 


- 76 -









 






action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

authorize the Administrative Agent to release (a) any Collateral consisting of assets or equity
interests sold or otherwise disposed of in a sale or other disposition or transfer permitted under
Section 7.2(g) [Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 7.2(f)
[Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions], and (b) any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty Agreement if the ownership interests in such Guarantor are sold or otherwise
disposed of or transferred to persons other than Loan Parties or Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties
in a transaction permitted under Section 7.2(g) [Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries] or
Section 7.2(f) [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions].



9.10 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or
assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s,
participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or
imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the
regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP

following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or
their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any
identity verification procedures, (b) any recordkeeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d)

provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Loan
Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents hereunder or thereunder.

through (d) above, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more
of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the right to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender with
one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 4.6(b) [Replacement of a Lender].



10.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No course of dealing and no delay or failure
of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or

cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have.




10.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds

relating to or arising under
Environmental Laws or pertaining to environmental matters, whether based on contract, tort or
any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of



 


- 79 -









 






 such
Indemnitee or (B) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an
Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other

Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case
may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the
Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting
for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such

connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter
of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 10.3(b)
[Indemnification by the Borrower] shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by

(i) Minimum Amounts.



(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an

- 82 -

Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be
less than $5,000,000.00, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).



(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and:

extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released

Available], Section 4.8 [Increased Costs], and Section 10.3 [Expenses, Indemnity;
Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of

(c) Register.



The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal

register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.




(d) Participations.



Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in
all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement.



Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;

[Increased Costs] to the same extent as if it were a



 


- 84 -









 






Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to Section 10.8(b) [Assignments by Lenders]. To the extent permitted
by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.2(c) [Setoff]
as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
4.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] as though it were a Lender.




(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights Successors and Assigns Generally.
