(iv) No Suspension Event is then extant. (h) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, from time to time of any Suspension Event: (i) The Lender may suspend the Revolving Credit immediately.

A record may be kept in the Loan Account of all loans made under or pursuant to this Agreement and of all payments thereon. (b) The Lender may also keep a record (either in the Loan Account or elsewhere, as the Lender may from time to time elect) of all interest, fees, service charges, costs, expenses, and other debits owed the Lender on account of the Liabilities and of all credits against such amounts so owed. (c) All credits against the Liabilities shall be conditional upon final payment to the Lender of the items giving rise to such credits. The amount of any item credited against the Liabilities which is charged back against the Lender for any reason or is not so paid shall be a Liability and shall be added to the Loan Account, whether or not the item so charged back or not so paid is returned. (d) Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees, service charges, costs, and expenses for which the Borrower is obligated hereunder are payable on demand. (e) The Lender, without the request of the Borrower, may advance under the Revolving Credit any interest, fee, service charge, or other payment to which the Lender is entitled from the Borrower pursuant hereto and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that such amount so advanced may result in Availability’s being exceeded. Such action on the part of the Lender shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s rights and Borrower’s obligations under Section 2-9(b).

The Loan Account and the Lender’s books and records concerning the loan arrangement contemplated herein and the Liabilities shall be prima facie evidence and proof of the items described therein. - -26-

 


 

2-8. The Revolving Credit Notes. The obligation to repay loans and advances under the Revolving Credit, with interest as provided herein, shall be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Revolving Credit Note”) in the form of EXHIBIT 2-8, annexed hereto, executed by the Borrower. Neither the original nor a copy of the Revolving Credit Note shall be required, however, to establish or prove any Liability. In the event that the Revolving Credit Note is ever lost, mutilated, or destroyed, upon receipt of an indemnification with respect to the lost Revolving Credit Note from the Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Lender, the Borrower shall execute a replacement thereof and deliver such replacement to the Lender. 2-9. Payment of The Loan Account. (a) The Borrower may repay all or any portion of the principal balance of the Loan Account from time to time until the Termination Date. Such payments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and only then to Eurodollar Loans. (b) The Borrower, without notice or demand from the Lender, shall pay the Lender that amount, from time to time, which is necessary so that the unpaid balance of the Loan Account does not exceed Availability. Such payments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and only then to Eurodollar Loans. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 7-5(c) hereof, the Lender shall endeavor to cause those applications of payments (if any), pursuant to Sections 2-9(a) and 2-9(b) against Eurodollar Loans then outstanding in such manner as results in the least cost to the Borrower, but shall not have any affirmative obligation to do so nor liability on account of the Lender’s failure to have done so. In no event shall action or inaction taken by the Lender excuse the Borrower from any indemnification obligation under Section 2-9(e). (d) The Borrower shall repay the then entire unpaid balance of the Loan Account and all other Liabilities on the Termination Date. (e) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and hold the Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) which the Lender may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, by virtue of acceleration after the occurrence of any Event of Default) as a consequence of the following: (i) Default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any Eurodollar Loan as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by the Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Eurodollar Loans. (ii) Default by the Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a request for a Revolving Credit Loan or a request to convert a Revolving Credit Loan from one applicable interest rate to another. (iii) The making of any payment on a Eurodollar Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of - -27-

Interest Rates. (a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans unless timely notice is given (as provided in Section 2- 5(a)) that the subject Revolving Credit Loan (or a portion thereof) is, or is to be converted to, a Eurodollar Loan. (b) Each Revolving Credit Loan which consists of a Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans.

(e) The Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on each Revolving Credit Loan in arrears as follows: (i) On the applicable Interest Payment Date for that Revolving Credit Loan. (ii) On the Termination Date and on the End Date. (iii) Following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default, with such frequency as may be determined by the Lender. (f) Following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Default Interest Event (and whether or not the Lender exercises the Lender’s rights on account thereof), all Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest, at the option of the Lender, at a rate which is the aggregate of the interest rate then in effect plus two percent (2%) per annum. (g) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). 2-11. Additional Fees. - -28-

 


 

In addition to any other fee paid by Borrower on account of the Revolving Credit, the Borrower shall pay the Lender a Line (Unused) Fee (so referred to herein) in arrears, on the first day of each month, commencing with the first month immediately following the Second Amendment Effective Date (and on the Termination Date).

Intentionally Omitted2-15. Concerning Fees. The Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of the Commitment Fee, Line (Unused) Fee or other fee previously earned by the Lender pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or suspension or termination of the Lender’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder. 2-16. Lender’s Discretion.

Procedures For Issuance of L/C’s. (a) The Borrower may request that the Lender cause the issuance of L/C’s for the account of the Borrower. Each such request shall be in such manner as may from time to time be acceptable to the Lender. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(a)(ii), the Lender will endeavor to cause the issuance of any L/C so requested by the Borrower, provided that, at the time that the request is made, the Revolving Credit has not been suspended as provided in Section 2-5(h) and if so issued: (i) The aggregate Stated Amount of all L/C’s then outstanding, does not exceed Forty Million Dollars and No Cents ($40,000,000.00). - -29-

 


 

(ii) The expiry of the L/C is not later than the Maturity Date. (iii) Availability would not be exceeded. (iv) Intentionally Omitted. (c) The Borrower shall execute such documentation to apply for and support the issuance of an L/C as may be reasonably required by the Issuer. (d) There shall not be any recourse to, nor liability of, the Lender on account of (i) Any delay by an Issuer to issue an L/C; (ii) Any action or inaction of an Issuer on account of or in respect to, any L/C. (e) The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuer for the amount of any drawing under an L/C on the same Business Day of such drawing. The Lender, without the request of the Borrower, may advance under the Revolving Credit (and charge to the Loan Account) the amount of any honoring of any L/C and other amount for which the Borrower, the Issuer, or the Lenders become obligated on account of, or in respect to, any L/C. Such advance shall be made whether or not a Suspension Event is then extant or such advance would result in Availability’s being exceeded. Such action shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s rights under Section 2- 9(b) hereof. 2-18. Fees For L/C’s. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee, on account of L/C’s, the issuance of which had been procured by the Lender, monthly in arrears, and on the Termination Date and on the End Date, equal to the following per annum percentages of the average face amount of the following categories of Letters of Credit outstanding during the three month period then ended: (i) Standby Letters of Credit: At a per annum rate equal to the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans; (ii) Commercial Letters of Credit: At a per annum rate equal to fifty percent (50%) of the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans.

(a) With respect to L/Cs with a scheduled expiry after the Maturity Date, thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, and (b) with respect to all L/Cs, upon the Lender’s request after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default hereunder, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Lender, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the then Stated Amount of all outstanding L/Cs. Such deposit shall be held by the Lender as collateral for the payment and performance of the Liabilities. The Lender shall have the exclusive dominion and control over such account. Such deposits shall not bear interest. Monies in such account shall be automatically applied by the Lender to reimburse the Issuer for any honoring of any L/Cs, together with any other amounts owed to the Issuer, and after all L/Cs have been so reimbursed or otherwise expired, any remaining balance shall be applied in reduction of the Liabilities. In lieu of depositing such cash with the Lender the Borrower may furnish the Lender, with a so-called “back-to-back” letter of credit in form and substance and issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, in an amount equal to 103% of the then Stated Amount of all outstanding L/Cs. Drawings under such “back-to-back” letters of credit shall be applied by the Lender to the Liabilities in the manner set forth above with respect to the cash collateral account. If no Event of Default then exists, the cash collateral deposited with the Lender and/or the amount of the “back-to-back” letters of credit may be reduced by an amount equal to any reduction from time to time in the Stated Amount of all outstanding L/Cs (other than on account of drawings thereunder). 2-20.

(a) None of the Issuer, the Issuer’s correspondents, or any advising, negotiating, or paying bank with respect to any L/C shall be responsible in any way for: (i) The performance by any beneficiary under any L/C of that beneficiary’s obligations to the Borrower. (ii) The form, sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, authority of any person signing; falsification; or the legal effect of; any documents called for under any L/C if (with respect to the foregoing) such documents on their face appear to be in order, except to the extent that such Issuer, Issuer’s correspondents, or advising, negotiating, or paying bank has actual knowledge of any of the foregoing. (b) The Issuer may honor, as complying with the terms of any L/C and of any drawing thereunder, any drafts or other documents otherwise in order, but signed or issued by an administrator, executor, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver, or other legal representative of the party authorized under such L/C to draw or issue such drafts or other documents. - -31-

Neither the Lender nor the Issuer shall have any responsibility for any inaccuracy, interruption, error, or delay in transmission or delivery by post, telegraph or cable, or for any inaccuracy of translation, except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct. (e) The Lender’s, and the Issuer’s rights, powers, privileges and immunities specified in or arising under this Agreement are in addition to any heretofore or at any time hereafter otherwise created or arising, whether by statute or rule of law or contract.

(g) If any change in any law, executive order or regulation, or any directive of any administrative or governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, shall either: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements against letters of credit heretofore or hereafter issued by any Issuer or with respect to which the Lender, any or any Issuer has an obligation to lend to fund drawings under any L/C; or (ii) impose on any Issuer any other condition or requirements relating to any such letters of credit; and the result of any event referred to in Section 2-20(g)(i) or 2-20(g)(ii), above, shall be to increase the cost to any Issuer of issuing or maintaining any L/C (which increase in cost shall be the result of such Issuer’s reasonable allocation among that Issuer’s letter of credit customers of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such events), then, upon demand by the Lender and delivery by the Lender to the Borrower of a certificate of an officer of the subject Issuer describing such change in law, executive order, regulation, directive, or interpretation thereof, its effect on such Issuer, and the basis for determining such increased costs and their - -32-

 


 

allocation, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, such amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuer for such increased cost; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment of such amounts which arise from transactions which occurred more than ninety (90) Business Days prior to the Lender’s furnishing notice hereunder. Any Issuer’s determination of costs incurred under Section 2-20(g)(i) or 2-20(g)(ii), above, and the allocation, if any, of such costs among the Borrower and other letter of credit customers of such Issuer, if done in good faith and made on an equitable basis and in accordance with such officer’s certificate, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error. (h) The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to L/C’s are absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances, whatsoever including, without limitation, the following: (i) Any lack of validity or enforceability or restriction, restraint, or stay in the enforcement of this Agreement, any L/C, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto. (ii) Any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from, any L/C. (iii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense, or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the beneficiary of any L/C. 2-21. Changed Circumstances. (a) The Lender may give the Borrower notice of the occurrence of the following: (i) The Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive) on any day on which the rate for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise be set, that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining such rate. (ii) The Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that: (A) The continuation of or conversion of any Revolving Credit Loan to a Eurodollar Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by the occurrence of a contingency that materially and adversely affects the applicable market or compliance by the Lender in good faith with any applicable law or governmental regulation, guideline or order or interpretation or change thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or directive of any such governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law). - -33-

(b) In the event that the Lender gives the Borrower notice of an occurrence described in Section 2-21(a), then, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply: (i) The obligation of the Lender to make Eurodollar Loans of the type affected by such changed circumstances or to permit the Borrower to select the affected interest rate as otherwise applicable to any Revolving Credit Loans shall be suspended. (ii) Any notice which the Borrower had given the Lender with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, the time for action with respect to which has not occurred prior to the Lender’s having given notice pursuant to Section 2-21(a), shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender agrees to use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable discretion, in any legal, economic or regulatory manner) to designate a different lending office if the making of such designation would allow the Lender or its lending office to continue to make Eurodollar Loans. 2-22. Increased Costs. If there is adopted after the date hereof any requirement of law, or if there is any new interpretation or application of any law after the date hereof by any court or by any governmental or other authority or entity charged with the administration thereof, whether or not having the force of law, which: (a) subjects the Lender to any taxes or changes the basis of taxation, or increases any existing taxes, on payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement (except for taxes on the Lender’s overall net income or capital imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Lender’s principal or lending offices are located or in which the Lender is organized); (b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, cash margin, special deposit or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by or any other acquisition of funds by the relevant funding office of the Lender; (c) imposes on the Lender any other condition with respect to any Loan Document; or (d) imposes on the Lender a requirement to maintain or allocate capital in relation to the Liabilities; and the result of any of the foregoing, in the Lender’s reasonable opinion, is to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any loan, advance or financial accommodation or to reduce the income receivable by the Lender in respect of any loan, advance or financial - -34-

 


 

accommodation by an amount which the Lender deems to be material, then upon the Lender’s giving written notice thereof to the Borrower (such notice to set out in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to and a summary calculation of such increased cost or reduced income), the Borrower shall forthwith pay to the Lender, upon receipt of such notice, that amount which shall compensate the Lender for such additional cost or reduction in income, provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment of such amounts which arise from transactions which occurred more than ninety (90) Business Days prior to the Lender’s furnishing notice hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender agrees to use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable discretion, in any legal, economic or regulatory manner) to designate a different lending office if the making of such designation would allow the Lender or its lending office to avoid the imposition of such increased costs. 2-23. Lender’s Commitments. (a) The Dollar Commitments, Commitment Percentages, and identities of the Lenders (but not the overall Commitment) may be changed, from time to time by the assignment of Dollar Commitments and Commitment Percentages with other Persons who determine to become “Lenders”, provided, however, that (i) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in which event, no consent of the Borrower is required) any assignment (other than an assignment to a then Lender) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), which consent will be deemed given unless the Borrower provides the Lender with written objection, not more than five (5) Business Days after the Lender shall have given the Borrower written notice of a proposed assignment). (ii) Any such assignment or reallocation shall be on a pro-rata basis such that each reallocated or assigned Dollar Commitment to any Person remains the same percentage of the overall Commitment (in terms of dollars) as the reallocated Commitment Percentage is to such Person. (iii) No such assignment shall be in an amount less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00), or, if less, the total Dollar Commitment of such assigning Lender. (b) Upon written notice given the Borrower from time to time by the Lender, of any assignment or allocation referenced in Section 2-23(a): (i) The Borrower shall execute replacement one or more Revolving Credit Notes to reflect such changed Dollar Commitments, Commitment Percentages, and identities and shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes to the Lender (which promptly thereafter shall deliver to the Borrower the Revolving Credit Notes so replaced) provided however, in the event that a Revolving Credit Note is to be exchanged following its acceleration or the entry of an order for relief under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower, the Lender, in lieu of causing the Borrower to execute one - -35-

Intent. It is intended that: (a) This Agreement take effect as a sealed instrument. - -76-

 


 

(b) The scope of the security interests created by this Agreement be broadly construed in favor of the Lender. (c) The security interests created by this Agreement secure all Liabilities, whether now existing or hereafter arising. (d) All reasonable costs and expenses (other than overhead costs) incurred by the Lender in connection with its relationship with the Borrower shall be borne by the Borrower.

Maximum Interest Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “MaximumRate”).

(ii) Except as otherwise specifically required hereby, and to the extent permissible under applicable law, the right to notice and/or hearing prior to the Lender’s exercising of the Lender’s rights upon default. (iii) THE RIGHT TO A JURY IN ANY TRIAL OF ANY CASE OR CONTROVERSY IN WHICH THE LENDER IS OR BECOMES A PARTY (WHETHER SUCH CASE OR CONTROVERSY IS INITIATED BY OR AGAINST THE LENDER OR IN WHICH THE LENDER IS JOINED AS A PARTY LITIGANT), WHICH CASE OR CONTROVERSY ARISES OUT OF OR IS IN RESPECT OF, ANY RELATIONSHIP AMONGST OR BETWEEN THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON AND THE LENDER (AND THE LENDER LIKEWISE WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A JURY IN ANY TRIAL OF ANY SUCH CASE OR CONTROVERSY). (iv) Except to the extent that such may not be waived under applicable law, the benefits or availability of any stay, limitation, hindrance, delay, or restriction with respect to any action which the Lender may or may become entitled to take hereunder.
