Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may, on any Borrowing Date, request the Lender to renew the LIBOR Option applicable to any portion of the Loan, by the delivery to the Lender, not later than 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the advances of a portion of the Loan to which the LIBOR Option shall apply or the renewal of the LIBOR Option for any advance of the Loan, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, an “Interest Rate Request. Borrower may, prior to any such Interest Rate Request, request the Lender to provide an interest rate quote as of the time such request is made; provided, however, that such quote shall be subject to change if LIBOR has changed at the time Borrower makes its Interest Rate Request. Each Interest Rate Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed portion of the Loan comprising the Borrowing Tranche, and (iii) an appropriate LIBOR Interest Period for the proposed portion of the Loan comprising the Borrowing Tranche, provided that:

The Borrower acknowledges that the increased interest rate and the late payment charge provided for herein reflect, among other things, the fact that the Loan has become a substantially greater risk given its default status and that the Lender is entitled to additional compensation for such risk.

3.4     LIBOR Unascertainable.

(a)       If, on any date on which a LIBOR would otherwise be determined, the Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that:

(iv) such LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any portion of the Loan to which a LIBOR Option applies; or

 

20


(v)  after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in U.S. dollars for the relevant LIBOR Interest Period for any portion of the Loan to which a LIBOR Option applies are not available to the Lender in the London interbank market or the applicable U.S. eurodollar markets,

then, in the case of any event specified above, the Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower thereof. Upon such date as shall be specified in any such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of the Lender to allow the Borrower to select, continue, or renew a LIBOR Option shall be suspended until the Lender shall have later notified the Borrower of the Lender’s determination (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. Upon any such suspension, interest on the Loan shall be payable at the Base Rate.

3.5     Selection of Interest Rate Options.

If the Borrower fails to select a new LIBOR Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche under the LIBOR Option at the expiration of an existing LIBOR Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 [Loan Requests/LIBOR Interest Periods] hereof, the Borrower shall be deemed to have renewed the then existing LIBOR Interest Period applicable to each such Borrowing Tranche, provided that in no event shall any LIBOR Interest Period extend beyond the Expiration Date.

(i)   on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period;

(iii) on any other Business Day, provided, if the portion of the Loan being prepaid is subject to a LIBOR Option, such prepayment is accompanied by an amount sufficient to compensate the Lender pursuant to subsection 3.12(b).

Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loan, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Lender at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment setting forth the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made, and the total principal amount of such prepayment, provided however that such notice shall be revocable by Borrower up to one Business Day prior to the prepayment date.

(b)       The Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under Section 3.4 or 3.12(a), it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of the Lender) to designate another lending office for any portion of the Loan affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that the Lender 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.

22


(c)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Mandatory Principal Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall not be subject to reborrowing.

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon the Lender with respect to this Agreement, the Note or the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Loan (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital, taking into consideration the Lender’s customary policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which the Lender in its reasonable discretion deems to be material, the Lender may from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith (using any averaging and attribution methods employed in good faith) by the Lender

(ii)  revocation by the Borrower (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any notice relating to the selection of the LIBOR Option under Section 3.2 or prepayments under Section 3.9, or

(iii) 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, Closing Fee or any other amount due hereunder.

If the Lender actually incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by the Lender (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error and may include such allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as the Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify the Lender for such loss or expense.

The Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Lender and hold the Lender harmless from and against (a) liability for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of Lender’s Consultants, incurred by the Lender (i) in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation, administration, printing, execution, syndication, interpretation and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents requested by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, it being expressly understood that in the event of a judgment on the Loan, the Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in satisfying such judgment, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of the Lender’s counsel and such agreement by the Borrower to pay all post-judgment costs and expenses is absolute and unconditional and (A) shall survive and not merge into the entry of such judgment and (B) shall not be limited regardless of whether (or to the extent) the Lender exercises any available rights or remedies against the Collateral, (iv) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection, presentation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings, and (v) in connection with any claim threatened or asserted against the Lender in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings or in any workout or restructuring), and (b) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Lender, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Lender hereunder or thereunder.

In addition, the Borrower agrees to reimburse and pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender’s regular employees and agents periodically to perform audits of the Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties.

Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day (except as provided in Section 3.2 with respect to LIBOR Interest Periods), and such extension of time may be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action, except that the Loan shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day.

Notional funding offices may be selected by Lender without regard to the Lender’s actual method of making, maintaining or funding the Loan or any sources of funding actually used by or available to the Lender.

(b)       Actual Funding. The Lender shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain any portion of the Loan by arranging for a branch, subsidiary or affiliate of the Lender to make or maintain such portion of the Loan subject to the last sentence of this subsection 11.5(b). If the Lender causes a branch, subsidiary or affiliate to make or maintain any portion of the Loan hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to such portion of the Loan to the same extent as if such portion of the Loan were made or maintained by the Lender, but in no event shall the Lender’s use of such a branch, subsidiary or affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loan hereunder cause the Lender or such branch, subsidiary or affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrower hereunder or require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to the Lender (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 3.12) which would otherwise not be incurred.

11.6   Notices.
