Upon such determination, the right of Borrowing Agent to select, maintain and/or convert to the LIBOR Based Rate shall be suspended until notice from Bank that the LIBOR Based Rate is again available or ascertainable and, until such time, all outstanding Advances under the Line and the Term Loan shall accrue interest at the Prime Based Rate.
3.9 Default Interest. Interest will accrue on the principal balance of each of the Loans after the occurrence of an Event of Default or expiration of the Contract Period at a rate which is three percent (3%) in excess of the applicable rate of interest in effect for such Loan from time to time (the Default Rate).
3.10 Post Judgment Interest. Any judgment obtained for sums due hereunder or under the Loan Documents will accrue interest at the applicable default rate set forth above until paid.
3.11 Calculation. Interest will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
3.12 Limitation of Interest to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event will the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law (including the choice of law rules) and any interest paid in excess of the permitted rate will be refunded to Borrowers. Such refund will be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums outstanding hereunder and will be applied in such order as Bank may
determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding, the portion exceeding the sums outstanding will be refunded in cash by Bank. Any such crediting or refunding will not cure or waive any default by Borrowers. Borrowers agree, however, that in determining whether or not any interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment, including without limitation prepayment fees and late charges, will be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest.

4.11 Loan Account. Bank will open and maintain on its books a loan account (the Loan Account) with respect to Advances made, repayments, prepayments, the computation and payment of interest and fees and the computation and final payment of all other amounts due and sums paid to Bank under this Agreement.

(c) imposes upon Bank any other condition with respect to Advances or extensions of credit or the commitment to make Advances or extensions of credit under this Agreement,

Borrowers agree to pay Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income, reduced return on equity or capital, or additional expense within ten (10) days after presentation by Bank of a statement concerning such increase in cost, reduction in income, reduced return on equity or capital, or additional expense. Such statement shall set forth a brief explanation of the amount and Banks calculation of the amount (in determining such amount the Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods), which statement shall be conclusively deemed correct absent manifest error.

4.13 LIBOR Indemnity. Borrowers shall indemnify Bank against any loss or expense (including loss of margin) which Bank has sustained or incurred as a consequence of (a) payment, prepayment or conversion of any portion of any LIBOR Rate Advances on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Rate Period (even if such payment is pursuant to demand by Bank pursuant to this Agreement and whether or not any such payment, prepayment or conversion is consented to by Bank); or (b) attempt by Borrowers to revoke in whole or in part any irrevocable LIBOR Rate Notification pursuant to this Agreement.

Each Borrower will carry adequate insurance issued by an insurer acceptable to Bank, in amounts acceptable to Bank (at least adequate to comply with any co-insurance provisions) and against all such liability and hazards as are usually carried by entities engaged in the same or a similar business similarly situated or as may be required by Bank, and in addition, will carry business interruption insurance in such amounts as may be required by Bank. In the case of insurance on any of the Collateral, each Borrower shall carry insurance in the full insurable value thereof and cause Bank to be named as insured mortgagee with respect to all real property, loss payee (with a lenders loss payable endorsement) with respect to all personal property, and additional insured with respect to all liability insurance, as its interests may appear with thirty (30) days notice to be given Bank by the insurance carrier prior to cancellation or material modification of such insurance coverage.
Each Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Bank the insurance policies therefor or, in the alternative, evidence of insurance and at least thirty (30) business days prior to the expiration of any such insurance, additional policies or duplicates thereof or, in the alternative, evidence of insurance evidencing the renewal of such insurance and payment of the premiums therefor. Each Borrower shall direct all insurers that in the event of any loss thereunder or the cancellation of any insurance policy, the insurers shall make payments for such loss and pay all returned or unearned premiums directly to Bank and not to such Borrower and Bank jointly.
In the event of any loss, each Borrower will give Bank immediate notice thereof and Bank may make proof of loss whether the same is done by such Borrower.

Provided that Bank has requested information from Borrowers, and Borrowers fail to provide such information in a timely manner, each Borrower further authorizes all federal, state and municipal authorities to furnish to Bank copies of reports or examinations relating to such Borrower, whether made by such Borrower or otherwise.
The officers of Bank, or such Persons as any of them may designate, may, at Borrowers sole cost and expense, visit and inspect any of the properties of each Borrower, examine (either by Banks employees or by independent accountants) any of the Collateral or other assets of each Borrower, including the books of account of each Borrower, and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of each Borrower with its officers and with its independent accountants, at such times as Bank may desire. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank will provide Borrowers with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of any such inspection but, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall not be entitled to any prior notice of any such inspection. Additionally, Bank may obtain updated appraisals of the Collateral at any time at Borrowers sole cost and expense.
Bank may conduct at any time and from time to time, and Borrowers will fully cooperate with, field examinations of the inventory, accounts receivable and business affairs of each Borrower. Bank intends to conduct three (3) such field examinations per year but may conduct more or fewer field examinations as Bank, in its sole discretion may determine. Borrowers shall pay Bank Eight Hundred Dollars ($800.00) per person, per day for each field examination, plus all of Banks out-of-pocket costs in connection with each such examination, provided however prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower will only be responsible for the fees, costs and expenses in connection with four (4) field examinations per year. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank will provide Borrower with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of any field examination but, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not be entitled to any prior notice of any field examination. At Banks option all costs, expenses and charges owing under this Section 7.13 may be charged as a Line Advance.
7.14 Default Under Other Indebtedness. No Borrower will permit any of its Indebtedness to be in default. If any Indebtedness of a Borrower is declared or becomes due and payable before its expressed maturity by reason of default or otherwise or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, the holder of any such Indebtedness shall have the right (or upon the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, shall have the right) to declare such Indebtedness to be so due and payable, such Borrower will immediately give Bank written notice of such declaration, acceleration or right of declaration.
7.15 Pension Plans. Each Borrower will (a) keep in full force and effect any and all Plans which are presently in existence or may, from time to time, come into existence under ERISA, unless such Plans can be terminated without material liability to such Borrower in connection with such termination (as distinguished from any continuing funding obligation); (b) make contributions to all of such Borrowers Plans in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to comply with the requirements of ERISA; (c) comply with all material requirements of ERISA which relate to such Plans so as to preclude the occurrence of any Reportable Event, Prohibited Transaction or material accumulated funding deficiency as such term is defined in ERISA; and (d) notify Bank immediately upon receipt by such Borrower of any notice of the institution of any proceeding or other action which may result in the termination of any Plan and deliver to Bank, promptly after the filing or receipt thereof, copies of all reports or notices which such Borrower files or receives under ERISA with or from the Internal Revenue Service, the PBGC, or the U.S. Department of Labor.
7.16 Bank of Account. Borrowers will maintain Bank as their primary bank of account. Borrowers will notify Bank in writing on a continuing basis of all accounts (including, without limitation, all deposit accounts and certificates of deposit) maintained with any Person other than Bank and, prior to opening any such account, will cause such Person to enter into a control agreement regarding each such account in form and content satisfactory to Bank.

Except as may occur in connection with the Embedded Wind-Down, Borrowers will cause their business to be continuously managed by their present management or such other persons (serving in such management positions) as may be reasonably satisfactory to Bank. Borrowers will notify Bank promptly in writing of any change in its board of directors or executive officers.
7.18 Amendment to Organizational or Governing Documents. Borrowers shall not make any amendment to their organizational or governing documents without providing Bank
with thirty (30) days prior notice thereof. Borrowers will provide Bank with a copy of any proposed amendments to any such documents prior to adoption. Borrowers will not cause or permit any corporate division or similar event with respect to such Borrowers.
7.19 Dividends. No Borrower will (a) redeem, repurchase or otherwise make any payment, distribution, or dividend to acquire any of its equity interests or (b) pay dividends or distributions on account of its equity interests; provided, however, that in the event any Borrower is then a corporation with a valid S corporation election in effect or a limited liability company and no Default or Event of Default has occurred, and the payment of such dividend or distribution would not result in a Default or Event of Default, such Borrower may, from time to time, pay and declare dividends or distributions to its shareholders or members in amounts sufficient to pay the taxes payable by such shareholders or members resulting solely from the income generated by such Borrower. Borrowers will advise the Bank in writing of any Borrowers intent to make a dividend or distribution permitted hereunder and a calculation of the shareholders or members applicable tax rates at least ten (10) days prior to payment of such dividend or distribution, and will provide the Bank with such information related thereto as Bank may request. Borrowers shall submit to Bank for Banks review all tax returns filed by them together with an analysis of the income of Borrowers taxable to any Borrowers shareholders or members and the tax rates applicable thereto. In the event (x) the actual distribution to shareholders or members made pursuant to this Section 7.19 exceeds the actual income tax liability of any shareholder or member due to such Borrowers status as a limited liability company or S corporation, or (y) if such Borrower was a subchapter C corporation, such Borrower would be entitled to a refund of income taxes previously paid as a result of a tax loss during a year in which such Borrower is a limited liability company or S corporation, then the applicable shareholders or members shall repay such Borrower the amount of such excess or refund, as the case may be, no later than the date the annual tax return must be filed by such Borrower (without giving effect to any filing extensions).
7.20 Transactions with Affiliates. No Borrower will enter into or conduct any transaction with any Affiliate except on terms that would be usual and customary in a similar transaction between Persons not affiliated with each other and except as disclosed to Bank. No Borrower will make any loans or extensions of credit to any of its Affiliates, shareholders, directors or officers, except for the existing loans described in Schedule 7.20 attached hereto. Each Borrower will cause all of its Indebtedness at any time owed to its Affiliates, shareholders, directors and officers to be subordinated in all respects to all present and future Bank Indebtedness and will not make any payments thereon, except as approved by Bank in writing.

Each Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to take such actions as Bank may deem advisable to protect the Collateral and its interests therein and its rights hereunder, to execute on such Borrowers behalf and file at Borrowers expense financing statements, and amendments thereto, in those public offices deemed necessary or appropriate by Bank to establish, maintain and protect a continuously perfected security interest in the Collateral, and to execute on such Borrowers behalf such other documents and notices as Bank may deem advisable to protect the Collateral and its interests therein and its rights hereunder. Such power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable.

Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes any Affiliate of Bank, upon and following the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the request of Bank and without further notice, to turnover to Bank any property of such Borrower held by such Affiliate, including without limitation, funds and securities for such Borrowers account and to debit, for the benefit of Bank, any deposit account maintained by such Borrower with such Affiliate (even if such deposit account is not then due or there results a loss or reduction of interest or the imposition of a penalty in accordance with law applicable to the early withdrawal of time deposits), in the amount requested by Bank up to the amount of the Bank Indebtedness, and to pay or transfer such amount or property to Bank for application to the Bank Indebtedness.
13.7 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Bank to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under the Loan Documents upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof or impair any such right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of any Event of Default shall affect any later Event of Default or shall impair any rights of Bank. No single, partial or full exercise of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges by the Bank shall preclude further or other exercise thereof. No course of dealing between Bank and any Borrower shall operate as or be deemed to constitute a waiver of Banks rights under the Loan Documents or affect the duties or obligations of Borrowers.
13.8 Remedies Cumulative; Consents. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges in Banks favor at law or in equity. Whenever Banks consent or approval is required, such consent or approval shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of Bank.
13.9 Certain Fees, Costs, Expenses, Expenditures and Indemnification. Borrowers agree to pay on demand all costs and expenses of Bank, including without limitation:
(a) all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents, and the other documents to be delivered in connection therewith, or any amendments, extensions and increases to any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses, and the cost of appraisals and reappraisals of Collateral), and the cost of periodic lien searches and tax clearance certificates, as Bank deems advisable;
(b) all losses, costs and expenses in connection with the enforcement, protection and preservation of the Banks rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, or any other agreement relating to any Bank Indebtedness, or in connection with legal advice relating to the rights
or responsibilities of Bank (including without limitation court costs, attorneys fees and expenses of accountants and appraisers); and
(c) any and all stamp and other taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and all liabilities to which Bank may become subject as the result of delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes.
In the event any Borrower shall fail to pay taxes, insurance, assessments, costs or expenses which it is required to pay hereunder, or fails to keep the Collateral free from security interests or liens (except as expressly permitted herein), or fails to maintain or repair the Collateral as required hereby, or otherwise breaches any obligations under the Loan Documents, Bank in its discretion, may make expenditures for such purposes and the amount so expended (including attorneys fees and expenses, filing fees and other charges) shall be payable by Borrowers on demand and shall constitute part of the Bank Indebtedness.
With respect to any amount required to be paid by Borrowers under this Section, in the event Borrower fails to pay such amount on demand, Borrowers shall also pay to Bank interest thereon at the highest default rate set forth herein.
Borrowers agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, Bank and Banks officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (whether or not such Person is a party to any litigation), including attorneys fees and costs and costs of investigation, document production, attendance at depositions or other discovery with respect to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the use of any proceeds advanced hereunder, the transactions contemplated hereunder, or any claim, demand, action or cause of action being asserted against any Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
Borrowers obligations under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Bank Indebtedness.
13.10 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in Borrowers performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
13.11 Acknowledgement of Confession of Judgment Provisions. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE NOTES AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTAIN PROVISIONS WHEREBY BANK MAY ENTER JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION AGAINST SUCH BORROWER. BEING FULLY AWARE OF ITS RIGHTS TO PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING ON THE QUESTION OF THE VALIDITY OF ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE ASSERTED AGAINST IT BY BANK UNDER THE NOTES AND LOAN DOCUMENTS BEFORE JUDGMENT CAN BE ENTERED, EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THESE RIGHTS AND AGREES AND CONSENTS TO BANK ENTERING JUDGMENT AGAINST BORROWER BY CONFESSION. ANY PROVISION IN A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS FOR AN ATTORNEYS COLLECTION COMMISSION SHALL IN NO WAY LIMIT BORROWERS LIABILITY TO REIMBURSE BANK FOR ALL LEGAL FEES ACTUALLY INCURRED BY BANK, EVEN IF SUCH FEES ARE IN EXCESS OF THE ATTORNEYS COLLECTION COMMISSION PROVIDED FOR IN SUCH CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.

14.1 Communications and Notices.

15.1 Waivers. In connection with any proceedings under the Loan Documents, including without limitation any action by Bank in replevin, foreclosure or other court process or in connection with any other action related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder, Borrowers waive:
(a) all errors, defects and imperfections in such proceedings;
(b) all benefits under any present or future laws exempting any property, real or personal, or any part of any proceeds thereof from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution to be issued on any judgment recovered under any of the Loan Documents or in any replevin or foreclosure proceeding, or otherwise providing for any valuation, appraisal or exemption;

(f) all rights to claim or recover attorneys fees and costs in the event that a Borrower is successful in any action to remove, suspend or prevent the enforcement of a judgment entered by confession.
15.2 Forbearance. Bank may release, compromise, forbear with respect to, waive, suspend, extend or renew any of the terms of the Loan Documents, without notice to any Borrower.
15.3 Limitation on Liability. Borrowers shall be responsible for and Bank is hereby released from any claim or liability in connection with:
(a) Safekeeping any Collateral;
(b) Any loss or damage to any Collateral;
(c) Any diminution in value of the Collateral; or
(d) Any act or default of another Person.
Bank shall only be liable for any act or omission on its part constituting willful misconduct. In the event that Bank breaches its required standard of conduct, Borrowers agree that its liability
shall be only for direct damages suffered and shall not extend to consequential or incidental damages. In the event any Borrower brings suit against Bank in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and Bank is found not to be liable, Borrowers will indemnify and hold Bank harmless from all costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by Bank in connection with such suit. This Agreement is not intended to obligate Bank to take any action with respect to the Collateral or to incur expenses or perform any obligation or duty of any Borrower.
16. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.
16.1 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Borrower hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and irrevocably agrees that, subject to the Banks election, all actions or proceedings relating to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be litigated in such courts, and each Borrower waives any objection which it may have based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all such service of process be made by mail or messenger directed to it at the address set forth in Section 14.1. Nothing contained in this Section 16.1 shall affect the right of Bank to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Bank to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
17. USA PATRIOT ACT PROVISIONS.
17.1 USA Patriot Act Notice. Bank hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the Patriot Act), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow Bank to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.
17.2 Collateral Provisions.
(a) Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 6 hereof, no (i) account, instrument, chattel paper or other obligation or property of any kind due from, owed by, or belonging to, a Sanctioned Person or (ii) lease in which the lessee is a Sanctioned Person, shall be Collateral.
(b) Bank may reject or refuse to accept any Collateral for credit toward payment of the Lender Indebtedness that is an account, instrument, chattel paper, lease, or other obligation or property of any kind due from, owed by, or belonging to, a Sanctioned Person.

The proceeds of the Loans will not be used and have not been used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country.
18. BORROWING AGENCY PROVISIONS. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Borrower, and hereby authorizes Bank to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent.
The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Bank shall incur no liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Bank to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies Bank and holds Bank harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Bank by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Bank on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Bank with respect to this Section 18 except due to willful misconduct or gross negligence by the indemnified party.
All agreements, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be the joint and several obligation of each Borrower, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of the Bank Indebtedness by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Bank to any Borrower, failure of Bank to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Bank to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower, the release by Bank of any Collateral now or hereafter acquired from any Borrower, and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant hereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Bank to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for such Borrowers Bank Indebtedness or the lack thereof. Each Borrower waives all suretyship defenses.
