Each such payment shall be applied first to accrued interest and the balance to the reduction of principal. All remaining unpaid principal, accrued interest and all other sums and costs incurred by Bank, pursuant to this Agreement, the Facility F Notes or the making of the Facility F Loans, shall be immediately due and payable on the Facility F Expiry Date without notice, presentment or demand.

     2.06 Interest After Default; Usury. Whenever the unpaid principal amount of the Loans, accrued interest thereon, any fees, or any other sums payable hereunder shall become due and payable and remain unpaid (whether at maturity, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) the amount thereof shall thereafter until paid in full bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loan, plus five percent (5.00%).

A certificate of Bank in good faith submitted to Borrowers as to such amounts shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Bank may in its discretion deduct such payments from any Borrower’s demand or deposit accounts with Bank after an Event of Default. All such payments shall be applied at the option of Bank to accrued and unpaid interest, outstanding principal and other sums due under this Agreement in such order as Bank, in its sole discretion, shall elect. All such payments shall be made absolutely net of, without deduction or offset, and altogether free and clear of any and all present and future taxes, levies, deductions, charges, and withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding income and franchise taxes imposed on Bank under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof. If any Borrower is compelled by law to deduct any such taxes or levies (other than such excluded taxes) or to make any such other deductions, charges, or withholdings, it will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net payments after such deduction, and after giving effect to any United States federal or state income taxes required to be paid by Bank in respect of such additional amounts, shall equal the amount of such payment without such tax, deduction or withholding.
     2.11 Loan Account. Bank will open and maintain on its books a loan account (the “Loan Account”) for Borrowers with respect to Loans 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. Except in the case of manifest error in computation, the Loan Account for Borrowers will be conclusive and binding on Borrowers as to the amount at any time due to Bank from Borrowers under this Agreement or the Notes.
     2.12 Financing Statements. Promptly upon request by Bank, Borrowers agree to execute or cause to be executed all financing statements describing the property in which Bank has a security interest under the Security Agreements.

16


 

satisfied again), interest on the Facility D Loans shall be reduced to an annual rate equal to two hundred seventy five (275) basis points above the Libor Rate.
          (b) If, based on the 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Operating Leverage Ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter is equal to or less than 2.5 but greater than 2.0 as calculated on a rolling four quarter basis, then, during the subsequent fiscal quarter (and only the subsequent fiscal quarter unless the foregoing condition is satisfied again), interest on the Facility D Loans shall be reduced to an annual rate equal to two hundred fifty (250) basis points above the Libor Rate.
          (c) If, based on the 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Operating Leverage Ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter is equal to or less than 2.0 as calculated on a rolling four quarter basis, then, during the subsequent fiscal quarter (and only the subsequent fiscal quarter unless the foregoing condition is satisfied again), interest on the Facility D Loans shall be reduced to an annual rate equal to two hundred twenty-five (225) basis points above the Libor Rate.

benefits. Borrowers have certain common officers and directors.

The final success of each of the Borrowers directly benefits the other Borrowers and the transactions contemplated under this Agreement will be to the mutual benefit of Borrowers. Each Borrower understands that the Bank’s willingness to make the Loans under this Agreement is predicated upon, and therefore the Bank has relied upon, the truth of the foregoing representation by Borrowers.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever any payment or action to be made or taken under this Agreement, or under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents is stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action will be made or taken on the next following Business Day and such extension of time will be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.
     8.02 Records. The unpaid principal amount of the Notes, the unpaid interest accrued thereon, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal amount and the duration of such applicability shall at all times be ascertained from the records of Bank, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     8.03 Amendments and Waivers. Bank and Borrowers may from time to time enter into agreements amending, modifying or supplementing this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or changing the rights of Bank or of Borrowers under this Agreement, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document and Bank may from time to time grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document. Any such agreement, waiver or consent must be in writing and will be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. In the case of any such waiver or consent relating to any provision of this Agreement, any Event of Default or Potential Default so waived or consented to will be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver or consent will extend to any other or subsequent Event of Default or Potential Default or impair any right consequent to any other or subsequent Event of Default or Potential Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
     8.04 No Implied Waiver: Cumulative Remedies.

The rights and remedies of Bank under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Bank would otherwise have.

     8.07 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, the provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of the provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
     8.08 Governing Law: Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws, and not the laws of conflicts, of said Commonwealth.

To the extent of any inconsistencies between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of said commitment letter, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
     8.10 Duration: Survival. All representations and warranties of Borrowers contained in this Agreement or made in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall survive the making of and will not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, by any investigation by Bank, or the making of any Loan.

Without limitation, it is understood that all obligations of Borrowers to make payments to or indemnify Bank will survive the payment in full of the Notes and of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreements and the other Loan Documents.
     8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties to this Agreement on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts will constitute but one and the same instrument.

41


 

     8.12 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Bank, Borrowers and their successors and assigns, except that Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of their rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Bank. All obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement are joint and several.
     8.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The rights and benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are not intended to, and shall not, inure to the benefit of any third party.

With respect to such participation, Bank shall act as lead bank or managing agent. Except to the extent otherwise required by the context of this Agreement, the word “Bank” where used in this Agreement means and includes any holder of a note originally issued to Bank and each such holder of a note will be bound by and have the benefits of this Agreement, the same as such holder had been a signatory to this Agreement. In connection with any such sale, assignment or grant of participation, Bank may make available to any prospective purchaser, assignee or participant any information relative to Borrowers in Bank’s possession.
     8.16 Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise clearly requires, references to the plural include the singular, the singular the plural, the part the whole and “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”. References in this Agreement to “judgments” of Bank include good faith estimates by Bank (in the case of quantitative judgments) and good faith beliefs by a Bank (in the case of qualitative judgments).
     8.17 Exhibits. All exhibits and schedules attached to this Agreement are incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.
     8.18 Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not limit or define or affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement in any respect.
