In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the full Dollar Equivalent amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Banks in Dollars 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 Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements.

2.8.3.4                   With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower under the Base Rate Option in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.8.3.2, because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 [Each Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Administrative Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing.

Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may, prior to the Expiration Date borrow, repay and reborrow under the Swing Loan Commitment, subject to and in accordance with the terms and limitations hereof. The interest rate for a Swing Loan shall be the rate that is mutually agreed by the Borrower and PNC Bank at the time such Swing Loan is made or, absent such an agreement, at the Base Rate, provided that Swing Loans made in Thai Baht shall earn interest at the Euro-Rate Option available for Optional Currency Loans as otherwise provided (and subject to the conditions and restrictions) set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2.

Swing Loans shall be repaid on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) the Swing Loan Repayment Date for such Swing Loan, or in the case of any Swing Loan at any time upon demand by the Administrative Agent (any such date being the “Swing Loan Conversion Date”). Unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on such Swing Loan Conversion Date that the Borrower intends to repay such Swing Loan with funds other than the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given notice to the Administrative Agent requesting the Banks to make Revolving Credit Loans in U.S. Dollars in an amount determined by PNC Bank in its sole discretion as the U.S. Dollar Equivalent at the prevailing market rate of such Swing Loans, which Revolving Credit Loans shall earn interest at the Base Rate in effect on the Swing Loan Conversion Date in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swing Loan plus interest thereon, and the Banks shall, on the Swing Loan Conversion Date, make Revolving Credit Loans (without the requirement that they comply with the conditions for Revolving Credit Loans in Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], which shall earn interest at the Base Rate, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swing Loan plus interest thereon, the proceeds of

2.9.5                        Participations.

 

In the event that the Borrower shall fail to repay PNC Bank as provided in Section 2.9.4, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the unpaid amount of such Swing Loan and of such Bank’s respective participation therein in an amount equal to such Bank’s Ratable Share of such Swing Loan. Each Bank shall make available to the Administrative Agent for payment to PNC Bank an amount equal to its respective participation therein (including without limitation its Ratable Share of accrued but unpaid interest thereon, provided that the interest rate payable by the participating Banks shall not exceed the Base Rate), in Dollars and in same day funds at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in such notice; provided however that with respect to any Swing Loan denominated in Thai Baht, each Bank shall make available to the Administrative Agent its Ratable Share of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such amount at prevailing market rates as determined by PNC Bank in its sole discretion. If such notice is delivered by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, each Bank shall make funds available to the Administrative Agent on that Business Day. If such notice is delivered after 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, each Bank shall make funds available to the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. In the event that any Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Bank’s participation in such unpaid amount as provided herein, PNC Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period between the date such participation amount is required to be paid and the date on which such Bank makes available its participation in such unpaid amount. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Administrative Agent its Ratable Share of any such unpaid amount shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent its Ratable Share of such unpaid amount on the Swing Loan Conversion Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.9.5 with respect to the unpaid amount of any Swing Loan, such Bank’s Ratable Share (based on its participation in such Swing Loan and interest thereon) of all payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in repayment of such Swing Loan when such payments are received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.9.5 shall have a direct right to repayment of such amounts from the Borrower subject to the procedures for repaying Banks set forth in this Section 2.9.5 and the provisions of Section 4.”

If the Borrower delivers a Loan Request requesting that the Banks renew the Euro-Rate Option with respect to an outstanding Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, the Banks shall be under no obligation to renew such Euro-Rate Option if any Bank 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 Bank cannot continue to provide Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent receives a timely notice from a Bank 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 Banks 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 Banks 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 Bank’s Ratable Share thereof.

 

2.11.4                  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 Banks in the applicable interbank market. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Banks of any such request promptly after the Administrative Agent receives such request. The Administrative Agent and each Bank 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 Banks 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 Banks approve of the Borrower’s request.”

 

(ii)                                  New Section 2.12 to the Credit Agreement:

 

“2.12                     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

 

22



 

Optional Currency in which such Loan was made, provided, however, that if it is impossible or illegal for Borrower to effect payment of a Loan in the Optional Currency in which such Loan was made, or if Borrower defaults in its obligations to do so, the Required Banks may at their option permit such payment to be made (i) at and to a different location, subsidiary, affiliate or correspondent of the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in the Equivalent Amount of Dollars or (iii) in an Equivalent Amount of such other currency (freely convertible into Dollars) as the Required Banks may solely at their option designate. Upon any events described in (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence, Borrower shall make such payment, and Borrower agrees to hold each Bank harmless from and against any loss incurred by any Bank arising from the cost to such Bank 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 Borrower hereunder, Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive termination of this Agreement.”

 

(iii)                               New Section 2.13 to the Credit Agreement:

 

“2.13                     Optional Currency Amounts.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, with respect to notices by 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 Borrower and the Banks of such rounded amounts and Borrower’s request or notice shall thereby be deemed to reflect such rounded amounts.”

 

(iv)                              New Section 4.4.4 to the Credit Agreement:

 

“4.4.4                  Change of Lending Office.

 

Each Bank agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] with respect to such Bank, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate another Lending Office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Bank and its Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 4.4.4 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Bank provided in this Agreement.”

 

(v)                                 New Section 4.6 to the Credit Agreement

 

23



 

“4.6                           Mandatory Prepayments.

 

4.6.1                        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 $200,000,000, (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of Letters of Credit Outstanding shall exceed $30,000,000, or (iv) the Dollar Equivalent of Swing Loans denominated in Thai Bahts shall exceed the Thai Baht Sublimit, 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 Sections 4.4 [Voluntary Prepayments] and 4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) 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, (b) the Dollar Equivalent of Loans in Optional Currencies shall not exceed $200,000,000, and (c) the Dollar Equivalent of Swing Loans denominated in Thai Bahts shall not exceed the Thai Baht Sublimit. 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.

 

4.6.2                        Application Among Interest Rate Options.

 

All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 4.6 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Dollar Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option and then to Optional Currency Loans subject to the Euro-Rate Option. In accordance with Section 4.5.2 [Indemnity], the Borrower shall indemnify the Banks for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.”

 

(vi)                              New Section 4.7 to the Credit Agreement:

 

“4.7                           Interbank Market Presumption.

 

For all purposes of this Agreement and each Note with respect to any aspects of the Euro-Rate, any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option or any Optional Currency, each Bank and the Administrative Agent shall be presumed to have obtained rates, funding, currencies, deposits, and the like in the applicable interbank market regardless whether it did so or not; and, each Bank’s and the Administrative Agent’s determination of amounts payable under, and actions required or authorized by, Sections 3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable] and 4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] shall be calculated, at each Bank’s and the Administrative Agent’s option, as though each Bank and the Administrative Agent funded its each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-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 Euro-Rate applicable to such Loans, whether in fact that is the case.”

 

(vii)                           New Section 4.8 to the Credit Agreement:

 

24



 

“4.8                           Taxes.

 

4.8.1                        No Deductions.

 

All payments made by Borrower hereunder and under each Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Bank and all income and franchise taxes applicable to any Bank of the United States (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.8) each Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law.

 

4.8.2                        Stamp Taxes.

 

In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

 

4.8.3                        Indemnification for Taxes Paid by a Bank.

 

Borrower shall indemnify each Bank for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.8) paid by any Bank and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date a Bank makes written demand therefor.

 

4.8.4                        Certificate.

 

Within 30 days after the date of any payment of any Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to each Bank, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. If no Taxes are payable in respect of any payment by Borrower, such Borrower shall, if so requested by a Bank, provide a certificate of an officer of Borrower to that effect.

 

4.8.5                        Survival.

 

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in Sections 4.8.1 through 4.8.4 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder.”

 

25



 

(viii)                        New Section 4.9 to the Credit Agreement

 

“4.9                           Judgment Currency.

 

4.9.1                        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 permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures each Bank 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.

 

4.9.2                        Indemnity in Certain Events.

 

The obligation of Borrower in respect of any sum due from Borrower to any Bank 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 Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Bank 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 Bank in the Original Currency, Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Bank against such loss.”

 

(e)                                  Exhibit 1.1(P)(1) - Pricing Grid to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as set forth on Exhibit 1.1(P)(1) hereto.

 

(f)                                    Exhibit 1.1(S)(2) - Form of Swing Loan Note is hereby amended and restated to read as set forth on Exhibit 1.1(S)(2) hereto.

 

(g)                                 Schedule 1.1(B) - Commitments of Banks to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as set forth on Schedule 1.1(B) hereto.

(1)                                 All prices are expressed in basis points per annum; basis points in “Euro-Rate” and “Base Rate” rows represent margins added to those rates in computing the interest rate(s) payable on the Revolving Credit Loans. Pricing levels are determined quarterly on the basis of the Total Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio set forth in the compliance certificates submitted under Section 7.3.3. which shall be on a pro forma basis to take into account acquisitions made during such quarter, as more specifically described in Section 7.2.6(ii) and the requirements set forth in the definition of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Changes in pricing levels will become effective on the fifth Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a compliance certificate indicating a change in the Total Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio which requires a change in pricing level, except that any changes in pricing levels relating to outstanding Borrowing Tranches of Loans in an Optional Currency shall be effective upon the expiration of the current Interest Period with respect to such Borrowing Tranches.
