the original principal amount of One Million One Hundred Sixty-seven Thousand
Five Hundred Seven and No/100 Dollars ($1,167,507.00);
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Swing Line Lender shall make swing line loans (each, a "Swing Line Loan" and
collectively, the "Swing Line Loans") to the Borrowers from time to time during
the Swing Line Commitment Period, in the aggregate principal amount at any one
time outstanding not to exceed Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00);
provided, however, that at no time may the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Swing Line Loans, plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of Facility A (including the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit
outstanding), plus the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Duty Deferment Bond
exceed the lesser of the Facility A Commitment Amount, and the applicable
Maximum Borrowing Base. During the Swing Line Commitment Period, the Borrowers
may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying Swing Line Loans in
whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. At the request of the Swing Line Lender, the Administrative Agent
may, at any time, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably direct
the Administrative Agent to act on their behalf) request each Lender having a
Percentage of Facility A, including the Swing Line Lender, to make, and each
such Lender, including the Swing Line Lender, shall make an advance under
Facility A, in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of Facility A, of the
amount of the Swing Line Outstandings as of the date such request is made. In
such event, each such Lender shall make the requested proceeds available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender in accordance with
the funding provisions set forth in this Agreement. The proceeds of Facility A
advanced pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) shall be immediately applied to repay
the Swing Line Outstandings.
1.2. Use of Proceeds. The Loan shall be used by the Borrowers only for
---------------
the following purposes: (i) to refinance certain existing indebtedness of the
Borrowers; and (ii) for working capital and general corporate needs. Each
Borrower agrees that it will not use or permit the Loan proceeds to be used for
any other purpose without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
1.3. Borrowing Base and Maximum Advances. Notwithstanding any term or
-----------------------------------
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, it is
understood and agreed that in no event whatsoever shall the Lenders be obligated
to advance any amount or issue any Letters of Credit hereunder if such advance
or the issuance of such Letter of Credit would cause the aggregate amount of
outstanding Loans (including Swing Line Outstandings), plus the face amount of
all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Duty
Deferment Bond, to exceed the following amounts:
19
(a) as to Facility A, the lesser of:
(i) the Facility A Commitment Amount; or
(ii) the aggregate of (the "Maximum Borrowing Base"):
A. Ninety percent (90%) of Eligible Billed
Government Accounts Receivable, which are
outstanding less than one hundred twenty-one
(121) days from the date of original invoice;
plus
B. Eighty-five percent (85%) of Eligible Billed
Commercial Accounts Receivable, which are
outstanding less than ninety-one (91) days
from the date of original invoice; plus
C. the lesser of (I) Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000), or (II) fifty percent (50%) of
Eligible Unbilled Government Accounts
Receivable; plus
D. the lesser of (I) sixty percent (60%) of the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of Eligible ARL
Receivables which are outstanding less than
ninety-one (91) days from the date of original
invoice; or (II) One Million and No/100
Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, it is expressly understood and
agreed that in no event whatsoever shall the
aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of
outstanding loans to ARL and Vobix at any time
exceed Six Million and No/100 Dollars
($6,000,000.00) and Ten Million and No/100
Dollars ($10,000,000.00), respectively.
(b) as to Facility B, the Facility B Commitment Amount; and
(c) as to the Swing Line Facility, the lesser of the Swing Line
Facility Commitment Amount or the Maximum Borrowing Base.
All determinations regarding eligibility shall be made by the Lenders.
Determinations regarding eligibility of billed and unbilled Receivables shall be
made in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, that in the event of any dispute or disagreement as to whether an
unbilled Receivable is, or has ceased to be, eligible pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, the decision of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its
sole and absolute discretion shall control.
If at any time the outstanding principal balance of Facility A (including the
maximum aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus Swing
Line Outstandings, plus the Dollar
20
Equivalent Amount of the Duty Deferment Bond) exceeds the Maximum Borrowing Base
(such excess being referred to herein as a "Borrowing Base Deficiency"), the
Borrowers shall immediately make a principal payment in the amount of the
Borrowing Base Deficiency; it being expressly understood and agreed that, for
purposes of calculating the Maximum Borrowing Base with respect to Eligible ARL
Accounts Receivable and the Duty Deferment Bond, the Dollar Equivalent Amount
shall be determined as of the date of the applicable Borrowing Base/Non-Default
Certificate.
1.4. Advances.
--------
(a) Agreement to Advance and Readvance; Procedure. So long as no
---------------------------------------------
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no act, event or
condition shall have occurred and be continuing which with notice or the lapse
of time, or both, shall constitute an Event of Default, and subject to the terms
and provisions of this Agreement, the Lenders (and the Swing Line Lender, as the
case may be) shall (i) advance and readvance the proceeds of Facility A and the
proceeds of the Swing Line Facility from time to time in accordance with this
Agreement; and (ii) advance the proceeds of Facility B to the Borrowers upon the
Borrowers' execution and delivery of this Agreement and all other documents,
instruments and agreements required by the Lenders in connection herewith.
Requests for advances with respect to Facility A shall be in the form of Exhibit
-------
1 hereto, and requests for advances with respect to the Swing Line Facility
-
shall be in the form of Exhibit 1(a) hereto. Requests for advances of Loan
------------
proceeds with respect to Facility A and the Swing Line Facility may be made via
facsimile on any given Business Day if the Borrowers provide the Administrative
Agent, in advance, with a written list of the names of the specific officers
authorized to request disbursements by facsimile. Upon request by the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall confirm in an original writing each
facsimile request for advance made by any Borrower. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (a) the Lenders shall have no obligation to make any advance with
respect to Facility A after the Maturity Date; and (b) the Swing Line Lender
shall have no obligation to make any advance with respect to the Swing Line
Facility after the Swing Line Termination Date.
(b) Interest Rate Election; Certain Advance Procedures and Limits.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Amounts advanced in connection with the Loan shall bear interest either on a
Base Rate basis or LIBOR basis, as more fully set forth in the Notes in the
exhibits attached to this Agreement, except that the Swing Line Loans shall only
be made available to the Borrowers on a Base Rate basis. Advances bearing
interest on a Base Rate basis shall be in minimum and incremental amounts of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), and shall be made available on a
same-day basis, if requested by 12:00 Noon Washington, D.C. time on a Business
Day. Advances bearing interest on a LIBOR basis shall also be in minimum and
incremental amounts of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), and shall be
made available not less than two (2) Business Days nor more than five (5)
Business Days after request therefor. The Borrowers' right to request LIBOR
based interest, as well as certain additional terms, conditions and requirements
relating thereto, are set forth in the Notes and in the exhibits attached to
this Agreement, and each Borrower expressly acknowledges and consents to such
additional terms and provisions.
1.5. Additional Mandatory Payments; Reduction of Commitment. In
------------------------------------------------------
addition to all other sums payable by the Borrowers pursuant to any of the
Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrowers shall also make
mandatory payments on the Notes (applied
21
first to amounts outstanding under Facility B, then to Swing Line Outstandings
(if any), and then to amounts outstanding under Facility A, as provided herein
below), upon the occurrence of any Excess Cash Event. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no mandatory payment shall be due and payable unless the Net Cash
arising from any Excess Cash Event occurring in any fiscal year, when aggregated
with all other Excess Cash Events occurring during fiscal year, exceeds the
Annual Excess Cash Limitation, in which event the amount of such mandatory
payment shall be equal to the amount by which the Net Cash arising from such
Excess Cash Event exceeds the Annual Excess Cash Limitation. In the event any
payment(s) made or required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section
1.5 shall be applied to Facility A (i.e., all amounts outstanding under Facility
B and Swing Line Outstandings (if any) shall have been paid and satisfied in
full), the Facility A Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to
such payment; provided, however, that no such reduction in the Facility A
Commitment Amount shall occur until the aggregate amount of such mandatory
payments during any fiscal year exceeds Two Million and No/100 Dollars
($2,000,000.00) or the aggregate amount of such mandatory payments during the
loan term exceeds Five Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($5,500,000.00), whichever occurs first, in which event the Facility A
Commitment Amount shall only be reduced to the extent the aggregate amount of
such mandatory payments during such fiscal year exceeds Two Million and No/100
Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or to the extent the amount of such mandatory payments
during the loan term exceeds Five Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($5,500,000.00), as applicable. Furthermore, in the event that any
Borrower issues additional equity interests or capital stock in accordance with
Section 7.1(a) of this Agreement (a "Permitted Offering") and the Net Cash
thereof shall have been used to pay and satisfy in full all amounts outstanding
under Facility B and Swing Line Outstandings (if any), then so long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable notice
and cure period (i) any remaining Net Cash of the Permitted Offering may be used
by the Borrowers to repay the First Source Debt in full before having to apply
remaining Net Cash of the Permitted Offering to amounts outstanding under
Facility A, (ii) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to make any mandatory
payment on amounts then outstanding under Facility A unless, at the time of the
Permitted Offering, the then outstanding principal balance of Facility A exceeds
Twenty-five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00), in which event the
mandatory payment shall be in an amount equal to such excess, and (iii) to the
extent any remaining Net Cash of the Permitted Offering shall be applied to
amounts outstanding under Facility A pursuant to this Section 1.5, no such
reduction in the Facility A Commitment Amount shall be required.
1.6. Field Audits. The Administrative Agent has the right at any time
------------
and in its sole discretion to conduct field audits with respect to the
Collateral and each Borrower's accounts receivable, inventory, business and
operations. All field audits shall be at the cost and expense of the Borrowers;
it being understood and agreed that, in the absence of an Event of Default, the
Borrowers' maximum liability for field audit costs and expenses shall be limited
to the costs and expenses of only one (1) field audit conducted during any
twelve (12) month period (unless the Administrative Agent shall conduct a field
audit pursuant to Section 1.10 of this Agreement in connection with the joinder
of a new "Borrower" hereunder, in which event the Borrowers shall be liable for
the costs and expenses of such field audit as well). Any and all field audits
conducted following an Event of Default shall be at the Borrowers' cost and
expense, with the foregoing limitation on maximum costs and expense being
inapplicable.
22
1.7. Certain Fees. In addition to principal, interest and other sums
------------
payable under the Notes, the Borrowers shall pay the following fees:
(a) Restructuring Fee. Simultaneously with the execution of this
-----------------
Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of all Lenders pro-rata based on each Lender's Percentage, a Loan restructuring
fee (the "Restructuring Fee") in the aggregate amount of Three Hundred
Fifty-seven Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($357,000.00).
(b) Commitment Fee. So long as any amounts remain outstanding in
--------------
connection with the Facility, or the Lenders have any obligation to make any
advance in connection therewith, the Borrowers agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of all Lenders pro-rata based on each
Lender's Percentage, a quarter-annual commitment fee (the "Facility A Commitment
Fee"), at the annual rate corresponding to the Borrower's Total Debt to EBITDA
ratio for the immediately preceding quarter, as set forth on Exhibit 9 hereto,
---------
calculated on the difference between (i) the Facility A Commitment Amount, and
(ii) the sum of the average daily outstanding principal balance of Facility A
and the Swing Line Facility during the applicable quarter, plus the aggregate
face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit during the applicable quarter,
plus the Dollar Equivalent of the Duty Deferment Bond (determined as of the date
of the most recently submitted Borrowing Base/Non-Default Certificate). The
Facility A Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed and a three hundred sixty (360) day year, shall be due for any
quarter during which the Lenders have any obligation in connection with the
Facility, and shall be payable in arrears, commencing on December 31, 2001 and

thereafter for so long as this Agreement remains in effect.
(c) Administrative Agent Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the

if any, engaged by the Administrative Agent) from time to time incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of, preservation of
rights in and enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be liable for all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses associated with any and all amendments, waivers and/or
consents relating to any of the Facilities.

directly or indirectly, an ownership interest of greater than fifty percent
(50%) shall, unless waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent (a) a Joinder Agreement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 6 (a "Joinder Agreement"), pursuant to which such subsidiary
---------
or affiliate shall (i) join in and become a party to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; (ii) agree to comply with and be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents; and (iii)

LETTERS OF CREDIT
2.1. Issuance. The Borrowers and Lenders acknowledge that from time to
--------
time the Borrowers may request that Citizens Bank issue or amend Letter(s) of
Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any other
reasonable requirements for letters of credit normally and customarily imposed
by Citizens Bank, Citizens Bank agrees to issue such requested letters of
credit, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no
act, event or condition which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would
constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If any such
Letter(s) of Credit are issued by Citizens Bank, each of the Lenders shall
purchase from Citizens Bank a risk participation with respect to such Letter(s)
of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of such Letter(s) of
Credit. Citizens Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
which
24
has an expiration date beyond the Maturity Date, unless the Borrowers shall have
deposited with the Administrative Agent, concurrent with the issuance of any
such Letter of Credit, cash security therefor in an amount equal to the face
amount of the Letter of Credit. Any request for a Letter of Credit shall be made
by a Borrower submitting to the Administrative Agent an Application and
Agreement for Letter of Credit or Amendment to Letter of Credit (each being
herein referred to as a "Letter of Credit Application") on Citizens Bank's
standard form, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the
issuance or amendment of the Letter of Credit shall be required, which Letter of
Credit Application shall be executed by an authorized officer of a Borrower, and
be accompanied by such other supporting documentation and information as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. Each Letter of
Credit Application shall be deemed to govern the terms of issuance of the
subject Letter of Credit, except to the extent inconsistent with the terms of
this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that Letters of Credit shall not be
issued for durations of longer than one (1) year. Any outstanding Letter of
Credit may be renewed from time to time; provided that (i) at least sixty (60)
days' prior written notice thereof shall have been given by the Borrower to the

----------------------------------------------
of any Letter(s) of Credit (i) any amounts drawn under any Letter of Credit
shall be deemed advanced ratably under the Revolver Notes, shall bear interest
and be payable in accordance with the terms of the Revolver Notes and shall be
secured by the Collateral (in the same manner as all other sums advanced under
the Revolver Notes); and (ii) each Lender shall purchase from Citizens Bank such
risk participations in the Letter(s) of Credit as shall be necessary to cause
each Lender to share the funding obligations with respect thereto ratably in
accordance with its particular Percentage. It is expressly understood and agreed
that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers to Citizens Bank in
connection with any such Letter(s) of Credit shall be deemed to be
"Obligations," and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to release its
security interest in the Collateral until (i) all Notes and all other sums due
to the Lenders in connection with the Loan have been paid and satisfied in full,
(ii) all Letters of Credit have been canceled or expired, and (iii) no Lender
has any further obligation or responsibility to make additional Loan advances or
issue additional Letters of Credit. Furthermore, in no event whatsoever shall
Citizens Bank have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit which would
cause the face amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the
benefit of any or all Borrowers, in the aggregate, to exceed the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), at any
time.
2.3. Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall be jointly and
---------------------
severally liable for the payment of: (i) to the Lenders ratably, a per annum fee
in the amount of one and three-quarters percent (1.75%) of the Dollar Equivalent

amended pursuant to this Agreement (the "Letter of Credit Fee"), calculated on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a three hundred sixty (360)
day year; and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, customary issuance and
administrative charges (the "Letter of Credit Administration Fee"). The Letter
of Credit Fee shall be due and payable, in advance, on the date the Letter of
Credit is issued or amended, and on the same day
25
of every third (3rd) month thereafter during which such Letter of Credit shall
remain issued or outstanding. The Letter of Credit Administration Fee shall be

contemplated hereby will not cause any Borrower to incur or suffer any liability
relating to, or obligation to pay, severance, termination or other similar
payments to any person or entity.

----------------------------------
of any Borrower (and no present or future interest of any Borrower, in whole or

debts), (ii) each Borrower was and is able to pay all of its Indebtedness as
such Indebtedness matures, and (iii) each Borrower had and has capital
sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all business and
transactions in which it is about to engage. For purpose hereof, "Indebtedness"
means, without duplication (a) all items which in accordance with GAAP would be
included in determining total liabilities as shown on the liability side of a
balance sheet of such Borrower as of the date on which Indebtedness is to be
determined, (b) all obligations of any other person or entity which such
Borrower has guaranteed, (c) reimbursement obligations in connection with
letters of credit issued for the benefit of such Borrower, and (d) the

warranties made herein shall survive the making of the Loan, and shall be deemed
remade and redated as of the date of each request for an advance or readvance of
any Loan proceeds, unless the Borrower is unable to remake and/or redate any

delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's counsel and
each Lender pursuant to this Section 6.10 contains any information deemed
"classified" by the Government and/or the dissemination of any such information
to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's counsel and each Lender
would result in the Borrowers violating any Applicable Law, then the Borrowers
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's counsel

9.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
--------
Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise any or all
of the following remedies:
(a) Withhold disbursement of all or any part of the Loan
proceeds;
(b) Terminate the Lenders' obligation to make further
disbursements of the Loan proceeds;
(c) Declare all principal, interest and other sums owing on the
Obligations to be immediately due and payable without demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default, presentment for payment or further notice of any
kind; provided, however, that payments of amounts hereunder shall not be
accelerated by reason of (i) a default in the payment of any sum due and payable
hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Document (a "Payment Default"), unless
such Payment Default remains uncured for five (5) days (with no notice of
default being
50
required); and (ii) a default other than a Payment Default (a "Non-Payment
Default"), unless such Non-Payment Default remains uncured for fifteen (15) days
following notice thereof from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of a Non-Payment Default shall be
required prior to acceleration or prior to the Administrative Agent exercising
any other right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if
(i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes that any such delay would
jeopardize the Lenders' security or the Administrative Agent's or Lenders' lien

(d) Without notice, redirect any and all of the Borrowers'
deposits to the Collateral Account;
(e) Without notice, offset and apply against all or any part of
the Obligations then owing by any Borrower to any Lender, any and all money,
credits, stocks, bonds or other securities or property of any Borrower of any
kind or nature whatsoever on deposit with, held by or in the possession of any
Lender in any capacity whatsoever, including, without limitation, any deposits
with any Lender or any of its affiliates, to the credit of or for the account of
any Borrower. The Administrative Agent and Lenders are authorized at any time to
charge the Obligations against any Borrower's account(s), without regard to the
origin of deposits to the account or beneficial ownership of the funds. Any and
all amounts obtained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this
subsection (e) shall be shared by all of the Lenders ratably, in accordance with
each Lender's Percentage; it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that each
Lender, as well as the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to exercise the
rights of set-off provided in this subsection (e) of this Section 9.2;
(f) Exercise all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party
under the UCC and/or any other applicable law(s), including, without limitation,
the right to (i) require any Borrower to assemble the Collateral (to the extent
that it is movable) and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place
to be designated by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) enter upon any Borrower's
premises, peaceably by the Administrative Agent's own means or with legal
process, and take possession of, render unusable or dispose of the Collateral on
such premises; each Borrower hereby agreeing not to resist or interfere with any
such action. The Administrative Agent agrees to give the Borrowers written
notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or any part
thereof, and the time after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition of the Collateral is to be made, and such notice will be mailed,
postage prepaid, to the principal place of business of the Borrowers, at least
ten (10) days before the time of any such sale or disposition. Each Borrower
hereby authorizes and appoints the Administrative Agent and its successors and
assigns to (x) sell the Collateral, and (y) declare that each Borrower assents
to the passage of a decree by a court of proper jurisdiction for the sale of the
Collateral. Any such sale pursuant to (x) or (y) above is to be made in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the laws and rules of procedure of
the Commonwealth of Virginia or other applicable law; and/or
(g) Proceed to enforce such other and additional rights and
remedies as the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may have hereunder and/or
under any of the other Loan Documents, or as may be provided by applicable law.
51
It is expressly understood and agreed that the Lenders and/or the
Administrative Agent may exercise their respective rights under this Agreement
or under any other Loan Document without exercising the rights or affecting the
security afforded by any other Loan Document, and it is further understood and
agreed that the Administrative Agent may proceed against all or any portion of
the Collateral in such order and at such times as the Administrative Agent, in
its sole discretion, sees fit; and each Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the
extent permitted by law, all benefit of valuation, appraisement, marshaling of
assets and all exemptions under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or
any other state, district or territory of the United States. Notwithstanding the
foregoing delegation of authority by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent, it
is agreed that at any time there are two (2) or fewer Lender parties to this
Agreement, any Lender may request the Administrative Agent to commence
enforcement action against the Borrowers and/or Collateral upon an Event of
Default. In this event, if the Administrative Agent fails or refuses to take
enforcement action upon the request of a Lender, such Lender may itself commence
appropriate enforcement action. Furthermore, if any Borrower shall default in
the performance when due of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent, without notice to or demand upon the Borrowers (and
without any grace or cure period) and without waiving or releasing any of the
Obligations or any default hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan
Document, may (but shall be under no obligation to) perform the same for each
Borrower's account, and any monies expended in so doing shall be chargeable to
the Borrowers with interest, at the highest rate of interest payable under
Notes, plus two percent (2%), and added to the indebtedness secured by the
Collateral.
All sums paid or advanced by the Administrative Agent in connection
with the foregoing or otherwise in connection with the Loan, and all court costs
and expenses of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses (and fees and expenses resulting from the taking, holding or
disposition of the Collateral) incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by
the Borrowers upon demand and shall become a part of the Obligations secured by
the Collateral. The Borrowers agree to bear the expense of each lien search,
property and judgment report or other form of Collateral ownership investigation
as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, shall deem necessary or
desirable to assure or further assure to the Lenders and/or the Administrative
Agent their respective interests in the Collateral.

to, any Borrower or any other person (except only for its relationship as agent
for, its express duties and responsibilities as agent for, and its express
duties and responsibilities to, the Lenders as provided in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents).
(d) Neither Agent shall be under any obligation to take any action

of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or may require the such Agent to
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.
10.3. Exercise of Powers.
------------------
(a) The Agents shall have the authority to take any action of the
type specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document as being within each
Agent's rights, powers or discretion, as it determines in its sole discretion,
except as provided in subsection (b) below, and except as provided in any other
Loan Document which expressly requires the direction or consent of (i) the
Required Lenders; or (ii) all of the Lenders, in either of which circumstances
such Agent shall not take such action absent such direction or consent. Any
action or inaction pursuant to such direction or consent shall be binding on all
of the Lenders.

modify, grant consents or waive any term or provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document without the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, or

prior consent of the Required Lenders. Each Lender agrees that its decision to
consent to or reject any request by the Administrative Agent for permission to
declare an Event of Default, provide formal notice thereof to any Borrower
and/or exercise any rights or remedies arising by virtue of such default, shall
be made as soon as
53
reasonably practicable after the Lender has received all relevant information
with respect to such request, but in all events within five (5) Business Days of
the receipt of such information; it being understood and agreed that, unless
otherwise provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall exercise any and all
rights and responsibilities on behalf of the Lenders in connection with an Event
of Default. Additionally, only with the consent or approval of all of the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent may (a) extend the final maturity of the Loan
or any Note, reduce the interest rate payable on or extend the time of payment
for any installment of principal, interest or fees payable in connection with
the Loan, or issue Letters of Credit (i) having an expiration date beyond the

an amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement shall be made as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Lender has received all relevant information
with respect to such request.
10.4. General Exculpatory Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the
------------------------------
contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document:
(a) Neither Agent, in its capacity as Agent (but not as a
Lender), shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless caused
by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Neither Agent shall be responsible for (i) the execution,
delivery, effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or adequacy of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) any recital, representation,
warranty, document, certificate, report or statement in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (iii) any failure of any Borrower or any Lender to perform
any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (iv) the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, recordation,
priority, adequacy or value, now or hereafter, of any lien or encumbrance or
other direct or indirect security afforded or purported to be afforded by any of
the Loan Documents, or otherwise from time to time, or (v) caring for,
protecting, insuring or paying any taxes, charges or assessments with respect to
any Collateral.

inquire or give any notice relating to (i) the performance or observance of any
of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the
part of any Borrower, (ii) the business,
54
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Borrower, or
(iii) except to the extent as may be set forth in Article 9 hereof, the
existence of any Event of Default.
(d) Neither Agent shall be under any obligation, either initially or
on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or
information of any nature, whether in its possession presently or hereafter,
except for such notices, reports and other information expressly required by
this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be furnished by the Agent to such
Lender.
10.5. Administration by the Agent.
---------------------------
(a) Each Agent may rely upon any notice or other communication of any
nature (written or oral, including telephone conversations, whether or not such
notice or other communication is made in a manner permitted or required by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document) purportedly made by or on behalf of the
proper party or parties, and neither Agent shall have any duty to verify the
identity or authority of any person giving such notice or other communication.
(b) Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (including in-house
counsel for such Agent), independent public accountants and any other experts
selected by such Agent from time to time, and neither Agent shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with
the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
(c) Each Agent may conclusively rely upon the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions
furnished to such Agent in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document. Whenever either Agent shall deem it necessary or
desirable that a matter be proved or established with respect to any Borrower or
any Lender, such matter may be established by a certificate of such Borrower or
such Lender, as the case may be, and such Agent may conclusively rely upon such
certificate.
(d) Each Agent may fail or refuse to take any action unless it shall
be indemnified to its satisfaction from time to time against any and all
amounts, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature
which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action; provided that no Lender shall be
obligated to indemnify such Agent for any portion of such amounts, liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses and disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent, as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(e) Each Agent may perform any of its duties under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact. Neither Agent
shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
55
(f) Neither Agent shall be deemed to have any knowledge or notice
of the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than a default in the payment
of regularly scheduled principal or interest), unless such Agent has received
from a Lender or a Borrower a written notice referring to this Agreement,
describing the Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a "notice of
default". If either Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give prompt
notice thereof to each Lender.
(g) The Administrative Agent shall provide three (3) Business Days
prior notice to the Lenders of any field audit scheduled to be performed by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement. The Lenders
shall be entitled to (i) receive copies of field audits performed by the
Administrative Agent, and (ii) accompany the Administrative Agent to any field
audit, provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, limit the
number of Lenders attending any such field audit.
10.6. Lenders Not Relying on Agent or Other Lenders. Each Lender
---------------------------------------------
acknowledges as follows:
(a) Neither Agent nor any other Lender has made any
representations or warranties to it, and no act taken hereafter by either Agent
or any other Lender shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty
by such Agent or such other Lender to it.
(b) It has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent
or any other Lender, and based upon such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter
into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) It will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent
or any other Lender, and based upon such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, make its own decisions to take or not take action
under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10.7. Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify
---------------
each Agent and each Agent's directors, officers, employees and agents (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers, and without limitation of the obligation
of the Borrowers to do so), ratably in accordance with each Lender's Percentage,
from and against any and all amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and
disbursements of every kind or nature (including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for each Agent or such other person in connection with
any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or
threatened, whether or not either Agent or such other person shall be designated
a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Agent or such other person as a result of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, any transaction from time to time contemplated hereby or thereby,
or any transaction financed in whole or in part or directly or indirectly with
the proceeds of the Loan; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to
--------
indemnify such Agent or such other person for any portion of such amounts,
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs or disbursements resulting solely from the gross
negligence or willful
56
misconduct of the person seeking indemnity, as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
10.8. Agent in its Individual Capacity; Agents' Commitment.
----------------------------------------------------
(a) With respect to their commitments and the Obligations owing
to them, Citizens Bank and PNC shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement and each other Loan Document as any other Lender, and may exercise the
same as though they were not the Agents. The terms "Lender," "holders of Notes"
and like terms shall include Citizens Bank and PNC in their individual
capacities. Citizens Bank and PNC and their respective affiliates may, without
liability to account for, make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire debt or
equity interests in, act as trustee under indentures of and engage in any other
business with any Borrower and any stockholder, subsidiary or affiliate of any
Borrower, as though Citizens Bank and PNC were not the Agents hereunder.
(b) The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it shall at all
times maintain, at a minimum, the lesser of (the "Agent's Commitment"):
(i) a Ten Million and No/100 Dollar ($10,000,000.00)
interest in the aggregate Commitment Amount; or
(ii) a Percentage of the Commitment Amount that is at
least equal to ten percent (10%).
In the event the Administrative Agent fails to maintain the Agent's Commitment,
the Administrative Agent agrees to resign as the Administrative Agent hereunder,
if requested by the Borrowers, pursuant to Section 10.10 of this Agreement; it
being expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Borrowers shall be third party
beneficiaries of the Agent's Commitment requirement set forth in this Section
10.8(b).
10.9. Holders of Notes. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat
----------------
any Lender which is the payee of a Note as the owner and holder of such Note for
all purposes hereof unless and until written notice evidencing such transfer
shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any authority, direction or
consent of any person who at the time of giving such authority, direction or
consent was a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on each present and
subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of any Note or Notes payable to such
Lender or issued in exchange therefor.
10.10. Successor Agent. Either Agent may resign at any time by giving
---------------
thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrowers,
subject to appointment of a successor Agent (and such appointees acceptance of
appointment) as below provided in this Section 10.10. Additionally, either Agent
may be removed for cause by all of the Lenders (other than such Agent, if such
Agent is then a Lender), or the Borrowers may request an Agent's resignation
pursuant to Section 10.8(b), if removal or resignation, as applicable, is
requested in writing (which wording must specifically identify the "cause" for
removal), and ten (10) days' prior written notice of removal or resignation is
provided to such Agent and Borrowers (or Lenders, if applicable). Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Lenders shall appoint the
57
other Agent as the successor Documentation Agent or Administrative Agent, as the
case may be. All references to the "Agents" in the Loan Documents shall be
deemed to mean the person(s) acting as the Documentation Agent and
Administrative Agent, and it is understood that it is possible that the same
person may be acting in both capacities. If such other Agent fails or refuses to
accept such appointment within thirty (30) days after such notice of resignation
or removal, then the retiring Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, immediately
appoint, as its successor, another Lender; provided that such Lender is a
commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States
of America or any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at
least One Billion and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000,000.00). In such event, the
Agent's resignation or removal shall not be effective until the successor Agent
shall have accepted its appointment. Upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of
its appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all of the properties, rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the former Agent, without further act, deed or conveyance. Upon the
effective date of resignation or removal of a retiring Agent, such Agent shall
be discharged from its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
but the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be binding on and inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was Agent under
this Agreement. If for any reason, at any time, there is no Administrative Agent
hereunder, then during such period, the Required Lenders shall have the right to
exercise the Administrative Agent's rights and perform its duties hereunder,
except that (i) all notices or other communications required or permitted to be
given to the Administrative Agent shall be given to each Lender, and (ii) all
payments to be made to the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to the
Borrowers or the Lender for whose account such payment is made.
10.11. Additional Agents. If the Administrative Agent shall from time to
-----------------
time deem it necessary or advisable to engage other agents for its own
protection in the performance of its duties hereunder or in the interests of the
Lenders, then the Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall execute and deliver a
supplemental agreement and all other instruments and agreements necessary or
advisable, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to constitute another
commercial bank or trust company, or one or more other persons approved by the
Administrative Agent, to act as co-Agent or a separate agent with respect to any
part of the Collateral, with such powers as may be provided in such supplemental
agreement, and with the power to vest in such bank, trust company or other
person (as such co-Agent or separate agent, as the case may be), any properties,
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.
10.12. Calculations. Neither Agent shall be liable for any calculation,
------------
apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith. If such
calculation, apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have
been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but
not made shall be to recover from the Lenders any payment in excess of the
amount to which they are determined to be entitled, with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Rate, or, if the amount due was not paid by any Borrower, to
recover such amount from such Borrower, with interest thereon at the rate
provided in the applicable Note.
58
10.13. Funding by the Administrative Agent.
-----------------------------------
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent alone shall be entitled to make all advances in connection
with the Loan and shall receive all payments and other receipts relating to the
Loan; it being understood, however, that the Administrative Agent has reserved
the right not to advance any amounts to the Borrowers which the Administrative
Agent has not received from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will notify
each Lender of the date and amount of any requested advance, and if such
notification is received by 1:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time on any given
Business Day, the Lenders shall provide the required funds to the Administrative
Agent no later than the close of business on such Business Day. Once per week,
or within such shorter time frame as may be requested by the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall pay to each other such
amounts (the "Equalization Payments") as may be necessary to cause each Lender
to own its applicable Percentage of the Loan and otherwise implement the terms
and provisions of this Agreement; it being understood that each Lender shall be
entitled to receive interest on amounts advanced by it only from the date of
such Lender's advance of funds. The obligation of the Administrative Agent and
each Lender to make Equalization Payments shall not be affected by a bankruptcy
filing by any Borrower, the occurrence of any Event of Default or any other act,
occurrence or event whatsoever, whether the same occurs, before, on or after the
date on which an Equalization Payment is required to be made. All Equalization
Payments shall be made by 1:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time on the date such
payment is required.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in
writing by any Lender no later than the close of business on the Business Day
before the Business Day on which an advance requested by the Borrowers is to be
made, that such Lender will not make its ratable share of such advance, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make its ratable share of
the advance, and in reliance upon such assumption the Administrative Agent may
(but in no circumstances shall be required to) make available to the Borrowers a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that any Lender fails to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent when required, such Lender shall pay such
amount on demand (or, if such Lender fails to pay such amount on demand, the
Borrowers shall arrange for the repayment of such amount to the Administrative
Agent), together with interest for the Administrative Agent's own account for
each day from and including the date of the Administrative Agent's payment, to
and including the date of repayment to the Administrative Agent (before and
after judgment). Interest (a) if paid by such Lender (i) for each day from and
including the date of the Administrative Agent's payment to and including the
second Business Day thereafter, shall accrue at the Federal Funds Rate for such
day, and (ii) for each day thereafter, shall accrue at the rate or rates per
annum payable under the Notes; and (b) if paid by the Borrowers, shall accrue at
the rate or rates per annum payable under the Notes. All payments to the
Administrative Agent under this Section shall be made to the Administrative
Agent at its office set forth in the preamble of this Agreement (or as otherwise
directed by the Administrative Agent), in dollars, in immediately available
funds, without set-off, withholding, counterclaim or other deduction of any
nature.
(c) All borrowings under this Agreement shall be incurred from
the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Percentages (except to the
extent advanced (i) as a Swing
59
Line Loan, or (ii) by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender as
provided in subsection (a) or (b) above). It is understood that no Lender shall
be responsible for any other Lender's failure to meet its obligation to make
advances hereunder, and that each Lender shall be obligated to make advances
required to be made by it hereunder regardless of the failure of any other
Lender to make its advances hereunder.
(d) Each payment and prepayment received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders shall be distributed first to the Swing Line
Lender for application to any Swing Line Outstandings, and then to each Lender
entitled to share in such payment, ratably in accordance with each Lender's
Percentage. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2(d) of this Agreement,
any Lender who has failed to fund its Percentage of any advance under the Loan
shall not be entitled to share in any such payment(s) until such time as the
funding deficiency caused thereby, together with interest thereon (as provided
in subsection (b) above), has been paid to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Payments from the
Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be made by wire transfer in accordance
with written instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders
from time to time. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders
hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in
full on such date and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such
assumption, may cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an
amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the
Borrowers shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent,
each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent upon its demand therefor
such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the
overnight Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the
Administrative Agent.
(e) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in
excess of such Lender's Percentage of payments, such Lender shall forthwith
purchase from the other Lender(s) such participations in the Loans made by them
as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment ratably with each of the other Lender(s); provided, however, if all or
any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, such purchase from the other Lender(s) shall be rescinded and each other
Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of
such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share
(according to the proportion of (1) the amount of such Lender's required
repayment, to (2) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of
any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect
of the total amount recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 10.13(e), to the
fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise all of its rights of payment with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
10.14. Benefit of Article. The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for
------------------
the benefit of the Agents and Lenders. Except as provided in Section 10.8(b) of
this Agreement, no Borrower shall have any rights under any of the provisions of
this Article 10; it being understood
60
that the provisions of this Article 10 are not in limitation of any right,
power, duty, obligation or liability which the Agents would have to or against
any Borrower.
ARTICLE 11

-----------------
appointment of the Administrative Agent, as its agent and attorney-in-fact, with

applicable notice and grace period, to (i) notify account debtors obligated on

mail to any Borrower to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate;
it being understood that the rights granted to the Administrative Agent in this
clause (ix), which are operative on the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall
not in any way limit or impair the other rights provided to the Administrative
Agent and/or Lenders in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including,
without limitation, their rights with respect to the Collateral Account and the
below-referenced lockbox. Furthermore, each Borrower hereby reaffirms its
irrevocable appointment of the Administrative Agent, as its agent and
attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, having full power and authority,
in its own name, in the name of any Lender(s), in the name of any Borrower or
otherwise (but at the cost and expense of the Borrowers and without notice to
any Borrower) and regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or any
act, event or condition which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would
constitute an Event of Default has occurred, to (a) file financing statements
and continuation statements covering the Collateral and execute the same on
behalf of any Borrower; (b) charge against any banking account of any Borrower
any item of payment credited to any Borrower's account which is dishonored by
the drawee or maker thereof; and/or (iii) endorse the name of any Borrower upon

bankruptcy against any Account Debtor.
61
11.2. Lockbox. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to
-------
receive and collect any amount or amounts due or to become due on account of any
Receivables and, at its discretion, to apply the same to the repayment of the
Notes, and each Borrower agrees that, as of the date hereof, it has established
and shall continually maintain on terms and conditions satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent in all respects, one or more lockboxes (and, if required by
the Administrative Agent, one or more blocked accounts) for the collection of
Receivables. Except as otherwise may be approved by the Administrative Agent in
writing, any checks or other remittances received by any Borrower in payment of
the Receivables shall be held in trust by each Borrower for the Administrative
Agent and Lenders. Each Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days from the date
hereof (or within such longer period as may be reasonably required by any
Borrower), direct all of its customers (other than certain customers as may be
approved by the Administrative Agent) to make payments directly to the
Administrative Agent, and/or include on all of its invoices, a direction to its
customer to make all payments directly to the Administrative Agent, at:
ManTech International Corporation
X.X. Xxx 0000-X0000
Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000
11.3. Other Agreements. Except as may otherwise be expressly permitted by
----------------
the terms of this Agreement, and without limiting any other restrictions or
provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower will (i) on demand, subject to any
confidentiality and secrecy requirements imposed by any Government agency, make
available in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shipping
documents and delivery receipts evidencing the shipment of goods which gave rise
to the sale or lease of inventory or of an account, contract right or chattel
paper, completion certificates or other proof of the satisfactory performance of
services which gave rise to the sale or lease of inventory or of an account,
contract right or chattel paper, and each Borrower's copy of any written
contract or order from which a sale or lease of inventory, an account, contract
right or chattel paper arose; and (ii) when requested, advise the Administrative
Agent when an Account Debtor returns or refuses to retain any goods, the sale or
lease of which gave rise to an account, contract right or chattel paper, and of
any delay in delivery or performance, or claims made in regard to any sale or
lease of inventory, account, contract right or chattel paper. Upon reasonable
notice, all such records will be available for examination by authorized agents
of the Administrative Agent.
It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that the Administrative
Agent shall not be required or obligated in any manner to make any inquiries as
to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file
any claims or take any other action to collect or enforce a payment of any
amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it or the Lenders may be
entitled hereunder at any time or times.
ARTICLE 12
MISCELLANEOUS
12.1. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of the Agents or
-------------------
Lenders provided for in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise, shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall
62
be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity, by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the
exercise by the Agents of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies
shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Agents of any or
all such other rights, powers or remedies.
12.2. Waiver. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. No failure or delay
------
by the Administrative Agent to insist upon the strict performance of any term,
condition, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach
thereof, shall constitute a waiver of such term, condition, covenant or
agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Administrative Agent from
exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By
accepting payment after the due date of any of the Obligations, neither the
Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have waived either the
right to require prompt payment when due of all other Obligations, or the right
to declare a default for failure to make payment of any such other Obligations.
12.3. Notices. Notices to either party shall be in writing and shall be

12.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
----------------
constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Loan and
shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Borrower shall be
indebted hereunder or under any Note, and thereafter until the Administrative
Agent shall have actually received written notice of the termination hereof from
the Borrowers, all Letters of Credit shall have been cancelled or expired and
all Obligations incurred or contracted before receipt of such notice shall have
been fully paid.
12.5. Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement provides for the
---------------------------
extension of financial accommodations by each Lender, in its capacity as lender,
to the Borrowers, in their capacity as borrowers, and for the payment of
interest and repayment of the Obligations by the Borrowers. Certain provisions
herein, such as those relating to compliance with the financial covenants,
delivery to the Administrative Agent and Lenders of financial statements, and
compliance with other affirmative and negative covenants are for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent and Lenders to protect the Lenders' interests in
assuring repayment of the
64
Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
permitting or obligating the Lenders or Agents to act as a financial or business
advisor or consultant to any Borrower, as permitting or obligating the Lenders
or Agents to control any Borrower or to conduct any Borrower's operations, as
creating any fiduciary obligation on the part of any Lender or Agent to any
Borrower, or as creating any joint venture, agency or other relationship between
the parties other than as explicitly and specifically stated in this Agreement.
Each Borrower acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to obtain the advice
of experienced counsel of its own choosing in connection with the negotiation
and execution of this Agreement and to obtain the advice of such counsel with
respect to all matters contained herein, including, without limitation, the
provision in this Agreement for waiver of trial by jury. Each Borrower further
acknowledges that it is experienced with respect to financial and credit matters
and has made its own independent decision to request the Obligations and execute
and deliver this Agreement.
12.6. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Borrower hereby (a) covenants and agrees
--------------------
not to elect a trial by jury of any issue triable by a jury, and (b) waives any
right to trial by jury fully to the extent that any such right shall now or
hereafter exist. This waiver of right to trial by jury is separately given by
each Borrower, knowingly and voluntarily, and this waiver is intended to
encompass individually each instance and each issue as to which the right to a
jury trial would otherwise accrue. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized
and requested to submit this Agreement to any court having jurisdiction over the
subject matter and the parties hereto, so as to serve as conclusive evidence of
each Borrower's herein contained waiver of the right to jury trial. Further,
each Borrower hereby certifies that no representative or agent of the Agents or
any Lender (including the Agents' counsel) has represented, expressly or
otherwise, to the undersigned that the Agents or Lenders will not seek to
enforce this provision waiving the right to a trial by jury.
12.7. Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue. Any judicial
-----------------------------------------------------
proceeding brought against any Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each
Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and
unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid court, and
irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered by such court in
connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower irrevocably designates and
appoints Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Esq., whose address is 00000 Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, as its agent to receive on its behalf
service of all process in any such proceeding in any court in the Commonwealth
of Virginia, such service being hereby acknowledged by each Borrower to be
effective and binding on it in every respect. A copy of any such process so
served shall be mailed by registered or certified mail to the Borrower at the
address to which notices are to be addressed in accordance with this Agreement,
except that any failure to mail such copy shall not affect the validity of
service of process. Each Borrower shall at all times maintain an agent for
service of process pursuant to this provision. If any Borrower fails to appoint
such an agent, or if such agent refuses to accept service, such Borrower hereby
agrees that service upon it by mail shall constitute sufficient notice. Nothing
herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent or Lenders to bring
proceedings against any Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
65
12.8. Changes in Capital Requirements. If after the date of this Agreement
-------------------------------
the Administrative Agent shall determine that the adoption of any applicable
law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the
Lenders with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy of any
authority, central bank or comparable agency, which adoption, change or
compliance is applicable to all banks generally or to banks similar in size, has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lenders' capital
as a consequence of the Lenders' obligations hereunder to a level below that
which the Lenders could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration the Administrative Agent's policies with
respect to capital adequacy), then, after sixty (60) days prior notice given by
the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, the interest rate on the Notes shall
be increased to a rate which shall retain the Lenders' original rate of return
on the Lenders' capital.
12.9. Captions. The paragraph headings of this Agreement are for
--------
convenience of reference only, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope
of this Agreement or the intent of any provision hereof.
12.10. Modification and Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any term,
------------------------
condition, covenant or agreement hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but that may be accomplished only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought.
12.11. Transferability.
---------------
(a) No Borrower shall assign any of its rights, interests or
Obligations under this Agreement.
(b) No Lender shall assign its interests under this Agreement to
any person or entity, without the prior written consent of both Citizens Bank
and the Borrowers; provided that (i) the Borrowers' consent shall not be
required for assignments from one Lender to another Lender or at any time during
which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (ii) the
Borrowers' consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to
obtaining such consent, any Lender may assign its interest, in the ordinary
course of its commercial banking business, at any time, or sell participations
in some but not all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, provided that (a) the purchaser of any such interest is a
commercial bank (a "Participating Lender") or Eligible Assignee, in either case
whose total assets exceed Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars
($500,000,000.00); (b) at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such
sale or assignment, which notice must identify the Participating Lender and/or
Eligible Assignee, shall have been issued by such transferring Lender to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; (c) the dollar equivalent of the
Percentage of the transferring Lender being assigned equals or exceeds Five
Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (d) the Administrative Agent shall
have received a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, in the form
attached as Exhibit 10 hereto; and (e) if the proposed assignee of the
transferring Lender is not an affiliate of the transferring Lender, an
assignment fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars
$3,500.00) shall have been paid to the Administrative Agent to reimburse the
Administrative Agent for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
assignment.
66
12.12. Governing Law; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be governed
-----------------------------
by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and be binding upon each Borrower
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns.
12.13. Gender; Number. As used herein, the singular number shall
--------------
include the plural, the plural the singular and the use of the masculine,
feminine or neuter gender shall include all genders, as the context may require.
12.14. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be jointly and
---------------------------
severally liable for the payment and performance of all obligations and
liabilities hereunder.
12.15. Materiality. Unless the context clearly indicates to the
-----------
contrary, determinations regarding the materiality of any act, event, condition
or circumstance shall be in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent.
12.16. Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower shall be
------------------------------------
entitled to assume that any and all consents, approvals or notices issued or
granted by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement were, to the extent necessary, authorized by the Required Lenders or
all of the Lenders, as applicable.
12.17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.

---------
LIBOR INTEREST ELECTION PROCEDURE AND REQUIREMENTS
The Borrowers' right to obtain LIBOR based interest shall be subject to the
following conditions:
1. Continuation and Conversion of LIBOR Elections. By delivering a LIBOR
----------------------------------------------
Election Form and Certification to the Administrative Agent on or before 10:00
a.m., New York time, on a Business Day, the Borrowers may from time to time
irrevocably elect, on not less than two (2) Business Days nor more than five (5)
Business Days' notice, that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount
of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) and integral multiples
of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), of any LIBOR Rate Loan
be converted on the last day of an Interest Period into a LIBOR Rate Loan with a
different Interest Period, or continued on the last day of an Interest Period as
a LIBOR Rate Loan with a similar Interest Period, provided, however, that no
-------- -------
portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans may be
converted to, or continued as, LIBOR Rate Loans when any Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or when any act, event or condition exists or has
occurred which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an
Event of Default, and no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any
LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to, LIBOR Rate Loans of a different duration
if such LIBOR Rate Loans relate to any Hedging Obligations. In the absence of
delivery of a LIBOR Election Form and Certification with respect to any LIBOR
Rate Loan at least two (2) Business Days before the last day of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall, on such last
day, automatically convert to a Loan that accrues interest on a Base Rate basis.
No more than five (5) different LIBOR funding segments may be outstanding at any
time.
2. Repayments, Prepayments and Interest.
------------------------------------
(a) Repayments, Continuations and Conversions. LIBOR Rate Loans
-----------------------------------------
shall mature and become payable in full on the last day of the Interest Period
relating to such LIBOR Rate Loan. Upon maturity, a LIBOR Rate Loan may be
continued for an additional Interest Period or may be converted to a loan that
accrues interest on a Base Rate basis.
(b) Voluntary Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. LIBOR Rate Loans
----------------------------------------
may be prepaid upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Notes.
For LIBOR Rate Loans in connection with which the Borrowers have or may incur
Hedging Obligations, additional obligations may be associated with prepayment,
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Hedging Contracts.
The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, at least four (4) Business Days notice of any proposed
prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loans, specifying the proposed date of payment of
such LIBOR Rate Loans, and the principal amount to be paid. Each partial
prepayment of the principal amount of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an integral
multiple of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) and be
accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on such LIBOR Rate Loans
and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment. The
Borrowers acknowledge that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Rate Loan
during an Interest Period shall result in the Administrative Agent and/or the
Lenders (as applicable) incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities
and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of
such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, all full or partial
prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be accompanied by, and the Borrowers
hereby promise to pay, on each date a LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid or the date all
sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise, in
addition to all other sums then owing, an amount ("LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayment
Fee") determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the following formula:
(i) the then current rate for United States Treasury
securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent)
with a maturity date closest to the end of the Interest Period as to which
prepayment is made, subtracted from
---------------
(ii) the LIBOR Lending Rate, plus the Applicable Libor
Interest Rate Margin applicable to the LIBOR Rate Loan being prepaid.
If the result of the foregoing calculation is zero or a negative number,
then there shall be no LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayment Fee. If the result of the
foregoing calculation is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall
be multiplied by the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loan being prepaid. This resulting
amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days remaining in
the Interest Period as to which the prepayment is being made. Said amount shall
be reduced to present value calculated by using the referenced United States
Treasury securities rate and the number of days remaining on the Interest Period
for the LIBOR Rate Loan being prepaid.
The resulting amount of these calculations shall be the LIBOR Rate Loan
Prepayment Fee.
(c) Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal
-------------------
amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan shall accrue during the Interest Period
applicable thereto at a rate equal to the sum of the LIBOR Lending Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Libor Interest Rate Margin thereto and be
payable on each Interest Payment Date.
3. Miscellaneous LIBOR Rate Loan Terms.
-----------------------------------
(a) LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful. If the Administrative Agent
---------------------------
shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrowers
be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or guideline,
(whether or not having the force of law) makes it unlawful, or any central bank
or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make, continue or maintain any LIBOR Rate
Loan as, or to convert any loan into, a LIBOR Rate Loan of a certain duration,
the obligations of the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders to make,
continue, maintain or convert into any such LIBOR Rate Loans shall, upon such
determination, forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrowers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall automatically convert into
Loans that accrue interest on a Base Rate basis at the end of the then current
Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or
assertion.
(b) Substitute Rate. If the Administrative Agent shall have
---------------
determined that:
(i) US dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
relevant Interest Period are not available to the Administrative Agent and/or
the Lenders in the London interbank market; or
(ii) by reason of circumstances affecting the
Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in the London interbank, adequate means
do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Rate
Loans of any duration, or
(iii) LIBOR no longer adequately reflects the Administrative
Agent's or any Lender's cost of funding Loans,
then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, the
obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in the Loan
Agreement to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any loans into, LIBOR
Rate Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist.
(c) Indemnities. In addition to the LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayment
-----------
Fee, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders (without duplication) for any increase in the cost to the
Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders (as applicable), or reduction in the
amount of any sum receivable by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders (as
applicable), in respect, or as a result of:
2
(i) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the
principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans on a date other than the scheduled last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
(ii) any loans not being made as LIBOR Rate Loans in
accordance with the borrowing request thereof;
(iii) any LIBOR Rate Loans not being continued as, or
converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the applicable LIBOR
Election Notice and Certification thereof, or
(iv) any costs associated with marking to market any Hedging
Obligations that (in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent)
are required to be terminated as a result of any conversion, repayment or
prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than
the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers in
writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable
detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to
compensate the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders (as applicable) for such
increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by
the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for its own benefit or for the benefit
of the Lenders (as the case may be) within five (5) days of its receipt of such
notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive
and binding on the Borrowers. The Borrowers understand, agree and acknowledge
the following: (i) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any
obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of
LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan,
(ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such rate,
and (iii) the Borrowers have accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair
basis for calculating such rate, the LIBOR Rate Prepayment Fee, and other
funding losses incurred by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders (as the
case may be). The Borrowers further agree to pay the LIBOR Rate Prepayment Fee
and other funding losses, if any, whether or not the Administrative Agent and/or
the Lenders elect to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
(d) Increased Costs. If, on or after the date hereof, the
---------------
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation or guideline (whether or not
having the force of law), or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency shall:
(i) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any
tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation
to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the principal of or interest on its
LIBOR Rate Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its
LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for the
introduction of, or change in the rate of, tax on the overall net income of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (as applicable) or franchise taxes, imposed
by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof)
under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized or
in which the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's principal executive office
is located); or
(ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such
requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of
the United States) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or shall impose on
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on the London interbank market any
other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR
Rate Loans;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate
Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement with respect thereto,
by an amount deemed by the
3
Administrative Agent to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand
by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for its own account or for the account of such Lender (as the case may
be), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative
Agent or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
(e) Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the
-----------------------
introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or
phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request
(whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator
or other governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
or person controlling the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the
Administrative Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the
rate of return on its, the Lender's or such controlling person's capital as a
consequence of its commitments or the loans made by the Administrative Agent or
such Lender is reduced to a level below that which the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or such controlling person could have achieved but for the
occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from
time to time by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall
immediately pay directly to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or for
the account of such Lender (as the case may be), additional amounts sufficient
to compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such controlling person
for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of the Administrative Agent as
to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in
reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and
binding on the Borrowers. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent
may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and
absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.
(f) Taxes. All payments by the Borrowers of principal of, and
-----
interest on, the LIBOR Rate Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future
income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties,
withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing
authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the
Administrative Agent's and/or any Lender's net income or receipts (such
non-excluded items being called "Taxes"). In the event that any withholding or
deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrowers hereunder is required in
respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then
the Borrowers will
(i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount
required to be so withheld or deducted;
(ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an
official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(iii) pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or
for the account of such Lender (as the case may be), such additional amount or
amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the
Administrative Agent, for its own account or for the account of such Lender (as
the case may be), will equal the full amount the Administrative Agent or such
Lender (as applicable) would have received had no such withholding or deduction
been required.
Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent or
any Lender with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes
and the Borrowers will promptly pay such additional amount (including any
penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount
received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) after
the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall
equal the amount the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be)
would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.
If the Borrowers fail to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate
taxing authority or fail to remit to the Administrative Agent the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall
4
indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender as a result of any such failure.
(g) Certain Required Information. If a Request for Advance and
----------------------------
Certification or LIBOR Election Form and Certification fails to specify an
Applicable Interest Rate and/or an Interest Period, or if, after having selected
an Applicable Interest Rate and/or an Interest Period, the Borrowers fail or are
otherwise not entitled under the provisions of this Agreement to elect or
continue any such selection (as applicable), the Borrowers shall be deemed to
have selected the Base Rate as the Applicable Interest Rate until such time as
the Borrowers are entitled to and have selected a different Applicable Interest
Rate and specified Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. The Lenders shall not be obligated to act with respect to the
provisions of this Exhibit unless the Administrative Agent shall have received a
Request for Advance and Certification or LIBOR Election Form and Certification,
as applicable, from the Borrowers specifying the following information:
(i) the amount of the advance subject to the
Applicable Interest Rate election;
(ii) the length of the Interest Period; and
(iii) the date on which such election is requested to be
effective.
Each Request for Advance and Certification or LIBOR Election Form and
Certification, as applicable, shall be made by the Borrowers in accordance with
the provisions of this Exhibit, the Notes and Section 1.4 of the Loan Agreement.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit 3
shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
