the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower
no later than 9:00 am (Pittsburgh time) three (3) Business Days prior to
the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans that the Optional
Currency is not then available for such Revolving Credit Loans, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Banks of the

2.13.3 Notices From Banks That Optional Currencies Are
Unavailable to Fund Renewals of the Euro-Rate Option.
If the Borrower delivers a Loan Request requesting that the
Banks renew the Euro-Rate Option with respect to an outstanding Borrowing
Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, the
Banks shall be under no obligation to renew such Euro-Rate Option if any
Bank delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh
time) four (4) Business Days prior to effective date of such renewal that
such Bank cannot continue to provide Revolving Credit Loans in such
Optional Currency. The notice shall provide a full explanation of the facts
which establish that the Bank cannot continue to provide Revolving Credit
Loans in such Optional Currency. The notice shall be provided to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks. In the event the
Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a Bank pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower no
later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh time) three (3) Business Days prior to

Agent shall have so notified the Borrower that any such continuation of
Optional Currency Loans is not then available, any notice of renewal with
respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn, and such Optional Currency Loans
shall be redenominated into Base Rate Loans in Dollars with effect from the
last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Optional Currency
Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the
Banks of any such redenomination, and in such notice, the Administrative
Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of the
redenominated Optional Currency Loans as of the Computation Date with
respect thereto and such Bank's Ratable Share thereof.

- 9 -
The Borrower may deliver to the Administrative Agent a
written request that Revolving Credit Loans hereunder also be permitted to
be made in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in addition to
the currencies specified in the definition of "Optional Currency" herein,
provided that such currency must be freely traded in the offshore interbank
foreign exchange markets, freely transferable, freely convertible into
Dollars and available to the Banks in the applicable interbank market. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Banks of any such request
promptly after the Administrative Agent receives such request. The
Administrative Agent and each Bank may grant or accept such request in
their sole discretion. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Borrower of the acceptance or rejection by the Administrative Agent and
each of the Banks of the Borrower's request. The requested currency shall
be approved as an Optional Currency hereunder only if the Administrative
Agent and all of the Banks approve of the Borrower's request.
2.14 Currency Repayments.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the entire amount of principal of and interest on any Loan made in an
Optional Currency shall be repaid in the same Optional Currency in which
such Loan was made, provided, however, that if it is impossible or illegal
for Borrower to effect payment of a Loan in the Optional Currency in which
such Loan was made, or if Borrower defaults in its obligations to do so,
the Required Banks may at their option permit such payment to be made (i)
at and to a different location, subsidiary, affiliate or correspondent of
Administrative Agent, or (ii) in the Equivalent Amount of Dollars. Upon any
events described in (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence, Borrower
shall make such payment and Borrower agrees to hold each Bank harmless from
and against any loss in curred by any Bank arising from the cost to such
Bank of any premium, any costs of exchange, the cost of hedging and
covering the Optional Currency in which such Loan was originally made, and
from any change in the value of Dollars, or such other currency, in
relation to the Optional Currency that was due and owing. Such loss shall
be calculated for the period commencing with the first day of the Interest
Period for such Loan and continuing through the date of payment thereof.
Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower
hereunder, Borrower's obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
Administrative Agent may, with respect to notices by Borrower for Loans in
an Optional Currency or voluntary prepayments of less than the full amount
of an Optional Currency Borrowing Tranche, engage in reasonable rounding of
the Optional Currency amounts requested to be loaned or repaid; and, in
such event, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the
Banks of such rounded amounts and Borrower's request or notice shall
thereby be deemed to reflect such rounded amounts.

rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the
effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or
(ii) Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option: A rate per
annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed,

such rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be for the actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus
the Applicable Margin.
(b) Swing Loan Interest Rate Option. Swing Loans shall bear
interest under the Offered Rate Option.

3.1.2 Rate Quotations.
The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before
the date on which a Revolving Credit Loan Request is to be delivered to

To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured
or waived:
3.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.
the Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each
Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.10.2 [Letter of Credit
Fees] or Section 3.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be

referred to in this Section 3.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that
such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given
their default status and that the Banks are entitled to additional
compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by
Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent.
3.4 Interest Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs;
Deposits Not Available.
3.4.1 Unascertainable.
If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be
determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:
(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or
(ii) a contingency has occurred which in the reasonable
opinion of the Administrative Agent materially and adversely affects the
secondary market for negotiable certificates of deposit maintained by
dealers of recognized standing relating to the London interbank eurodollar
market relating to the Euro-Rate, the Administrative Agent shall have the
rights specified in Section 3.4.3.
3.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.
If at any time any Bank shall have determined that:
(i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which
a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by
compliance by such Bank in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or
application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive
of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or
(ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Bank of the establishment or maintenance of any
such Loan, or
(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the
relevant amount in Dollars or in the Optional Currency (as applicable) for
the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a
Euro-Rate Option applies,
- 13 -
respectively, are not available to such Bank with respect to such Loan, or
to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,
then such Bank shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3.
3.4.3 Administrative Agent's and Bank's Rights.
In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 above,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Banks and the
Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4.2
above, such Bank shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and
endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of
such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of
such notice and certificate to the other Banks and the Borrower. Upon such
date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than
the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Banks, in the
case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Bank, in
the case of such notice given by such Bank, to allow the Borrower to
select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option or select an Optional
Currency (as applicable) shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent
shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Bank shall have later
notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent's or such
Bank's, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving
rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the
Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 3.4.1 and the
Borrower has previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection
of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Interest Rate
Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to
provide for the selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate
Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans if the Borrower has
requested the Euro-Rate Option. If any Bank notifies the Administrative
Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2, the Borrower shall, subject
to the Borrower's indemnification Obligations under Section 4.5.2
[Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Bank to which a Euro-Rate Option
applies, on the date specified in such notice either (i) as applicable,
convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect
to such Loan and select Dollars, or (ii) (except in the case of events
described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 3.4.2) prepay such Loan or
in accordance with Section 4.4 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice
from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall
automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with
respect to such Loan upon such specified date.
3.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options.
If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period or Optional
Currency to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans under
the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period
applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have
converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option or to a Dollar
Loan, as applicable, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest
Period.
- 14 -
D. Section 4--Payments.
The text of Section 4 (Payments) is hereby amended and restated to
read as follows (except for provisions of Section IV of the Credit Agreement
identified below which remain unchanged and are not restated herein):
"4. PAYMENTS
4.1 Payments.
All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal,
interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent's
Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be
payable prior to 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on the date when due without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or
other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately
accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the
Principal Office for the account of PNC Bank with respect to the Swing
Loans, for the ratable accounts of the Banks with respect to the Revolving
Credit Loans in U.S. Dollars, except that payments of principal or interest
shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, and in
immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
distribute such amounts to the Banks in immediately available funds,
provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh
time, by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such
payments are not distributed to the Banks on the same day received by the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Banks the
Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in
Dollars, or the Overnight Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in
an Optional Currency, with respect to the amount of such payments for each
day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Banks. The
Administrative Agent's and each Bank's statement of account, ledger or
other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on
the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement (including the
Equivalent Amounts of the applicable currencies where such computations are
required) and shall be deemed an "account stated."
4.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Banks.
Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to
each Bank according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion
to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option applicable to Revolving Credit
Loans, each Commitment reduction and each payment or prepayment by the
Borrower with respect to principal or interest on the Revolving Credit
Loans, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for
the Administrative Agent's Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder
to the Banks with respect to Revolving Credit Loans, shall (except as
provided in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent's and Bank's Rights] in the
case of an event specified in Section 3.4 [Interest Rate Unascertainable;
Etc.], 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Bank] or 4.5 [Additional Compensation in
Certain Circumstances]) be made in
- 15 -
proportion to the applicable Revolving Credit Loans outstanding from each
Bank and, if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the
Ratable Share of each Bank. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each
borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to Swing Loans shall
be made by or to PNC Bank according to Section 2.
4.3 Interest Payment Dates.
Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be
due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each July, October,
January and April after the date hereof and on the applicable Expiration
Date or upon acceleration of the applicable Notes. Interest on Revolving
Credit Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable
in the currency in which such Loan was made on the last day of each
Euro-Rate Loan Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Euro-Rate Loan
Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of
such Euro-Rate Loan Interest Period. Interest on Swing Loans shall be due
and payable on the last day of the applicable Swing Loan Interest Period.
Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation
shall be due and payable in the currency in which such Loan was made on
demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due
and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or
otherwise).
4.4 Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments.
4.4.1 Right to Prepay.
The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to
time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty
(except as provided in Section 4.4.2 below or in Section 4.5 [Additional
Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) in the currency in which such Loan
was made:
(i) at any time with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan to
which the Base Rate Option applies,
(ii) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with
respect to Revolving Credit Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies or
with respect to Swing Loans, provided that the Borrower may pay such Loans
prior to the last day of such Interest Period so long as the Borrower
indemnifies the Banks pursuant to Section 4.5.2, or
(iii) on the date specified in a notice by any Bank pursuant
to Section 3.4 [Interest Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] with respect to any
Revolving Credit Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies.
Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the
Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by
(1) 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the
date of prepayment of the Dollar Loans, (2) by 10:00 am at least four (4)
Business Days prior to the date of
- 16 -
prepayment of any Optional Currency Loans or (3) no later than 1:00 p.m.,
Pittsburgh time, on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, in each instance
(of prepayments described in clause (1), (2) or (3)) setting forth the
following information:
(x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which
the proposed prepayment is to be made;
(y) a statement indicating the application of the
prepayment between the Swing Loans and Revolving Credit Loans;
and
(z) the total principal amount and currency of such
prepayment, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of which shall not be
less than $500,000 for any Swing Loan, or $1,000,000 for any
Revolving Credit Loan.
All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal
amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with
interest on such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the
Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in
such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to
be made in the currency in which such Loan was made. Except as provided in
Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent's and Bank's rights], if the Borrower
prepays a Revolving Credit Loan but fails to specify the applicable
Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be
applied, first, to Revolving Credit Loans to which the Base Rate Option
applies, then to Dollar Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies, and
then to Optional Currency Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject
to the Borrower's Obligation to indemnify the Banks under Section 4.5.2
[Indemnity].
4.4.2 Replacement of a Bank.
In the event any Bank (i) gives notice under Section 3.4
[Interest Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], Section 4.5.1 [Increased Costs,
Etc.] or 4.8.3 [Indemnification for Taxes Paid by a Bank], (ii) does not
fund Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene any Law
applicable to such Bank, (iii) becomes subject to the control of an
Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), or (iv) seeks
indemnification for Taxes under Section 11.3 or (v) the Borrower is
required to make any payment under any of Sections 4.8.1, 4.8.2 or 4.8.3,
then the Borrower shall have the right, at its option, with the consent of
the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to
prepay the Loans of such Bank in whole , together with all interest accrued
thereon and any fees or other amounts due in connection therewith, and
terminate such Bank's Commitment, or to replace such Bank with another Bank
which purchases and assumes the Loans of the Bank to be replaced in either
such case within sixty (60) days after (x) receipt of such Bank's notice
under Section 3.4 [Interest Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or 4.5.1 [Increased
Costs, Etc.], (y) the date such Bank has failed to fund Loans because the
making of such Loans would contravene Law applicable to such Bank, or (z)
the date such Bank became subject to the control of an Official Body, as
applicable; provided that the Borrower shall also pay to such Bank at the
time of such
- 17 -
prepayment or replacement any amounts required under Section 4.5
[Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] and any accrued interest
due on such amount and any related fees; provided further , however, that
if the Borrower has elected to prepay the Loans of a Bank and terminate its
Commitment under this Section, the Commitment of such Bank shall be
provided by one or more of the remaining Banks or a replacement bank
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and provided, further,
that the remaining Banks shall have no obligation hereunder to increase
their Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent
may only be replaced subject to the requirements of Section 9.14 [Successor
Administrative Agent] and provided that all Letters of Credit have expired
or been terminated or replaced.
4.4.3 Change of Lending Office.
Each Bank agrees that upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under Section
3.4.2 [Illegality, Etc.] or 4.5.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.] with respect to
such Bank, or in the event such Bank seeks indemnification for Taxes under
Section 11.3, it will if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts
(subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate
another Lending Office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such
event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Bank
and its Lending Office suffer no economic(including increased taxes), legal
or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of
the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this
Section 4.4.3 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the
Borrower or any other Loan Party or the rights of the Administrative Agent
or any Bank provided in this Agreement.
4.4.4 Mandatory Prepayment.
4.4.4.1 Maximum Facility Usage to EBITDA Attributable to
Loan Parties.
If the Borrower shall breach the covenant contained in
Section 7.2.16 [Maximum Facility Usage to EBITDA Attributable to Loan
Parties], the Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days of the
occurrence of such breach repay Loans (subject to its indemnity obligation
in Section 4.5.2(i)) to the extent required to cause the Borrower to comply
with such Section 7.2.16.
4.4.4.2 Change in Exchange Rates.
(i) Excess of Facility Usage Over Commitments.
Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 2 of this Agreement (which
provides in part that the Facility Usage may not at any time exceed the
Commitments), if on any Computation Date the sum of the Facility Usage is
greater than the Commitments solely as a result of a change in exchange
rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars (and not for
any other reason; if the Facility Usage exceeds the Commitments for any
reason other than a change in such exchange rates, then the Loan Parties
shall be in immediate breach of such provisions of Section 2), then the
- 18 -
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the same. The Borrower
shall pay or prepay Loans (subject to Borrower's indemnity obligations for
repaying Euro-Rate Loans before expiration of the applicable Interest
Period under this Section 4 or otherwise) within one (1) Business Day after
receiving such notice such that the Facility Usage shall not exceed the
aggregate Commitments after giving effect to such payments or prepayments.
All prepayments required pursuant to this clause (i) shall first be applied
among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans
subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Dollar Loans subject to a
Euro-Rate Option and then to Optional Currency Loans subject to the
Euro-Rate Option (subject to Borrower's indemnity obligations for breaking
Euro-Rate Borrowing Tranches under this Section 4).
(ii) Excess of Optional Currency Loans Over Facility
Usage Over Optional Currency Loan Sublimit. Notwithstanding the provisions
in Section 2.1.1(iii) of this Agreement (which provides in part that the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of Optional Currency Loans shall not exceed the
Optional Currency Loan Sublimit), if on any Computation Date the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of Optional Currency Loans shall exceed the Optional
Currency Loan Sublimit solely as a result of a change in exchange rates
between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars (and not for any
other reason; if the Dollar Equivalent Amount of Optional Currency Loans
shall exceed the Optional Currency Loan Sublimit Facility Usage for any
reason other than a change in such exchanges rates, then the Loan Parties
shall be in immediate breach of such provisions of Section 2.1.1(iii)),
then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the same. The
Borrower shall pay or prepay Optional Currency Loans (subject to Borrower's
indemnity obligations for repaying Euro-Rate Loans before expiration of the
applicable Interest Period under this Section 4 or otherwise) within four
(4) Business Days after receiving such notice in an amount such that the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of Optional Currency Loans shall equal or be less
than the Optional Currency Loan Sublimit after giving effect to such
payments or prepayments.
4.5 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.
4.5.1 Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes,
Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc.
If, after the date hereof, any Law, guideline or
interpretation or any change in any Law, guideline or interpretation or
application thereof by any Official Body charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof or compliance with any request or directive (whether
or not having the force of Law) of any central bank or other Official Body:
(i) subjects any Bank to any tax or changes the basis of
taxation with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Loans or payments
by the Borrower of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, or other amounts
due from the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (except for taxes on the
net income of such Bank),
- 19 -
(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement against credits or commitments to
extend credit extended by, or assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits
with or for the account of, or other acquisitions of funds by, any Bank or
any Lending Office of any Bank, or
(iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital
adequacy or similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or contingent)
of, or letters of credit, other credits or commitments to extend credit
extended by, any Bank, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of
any Bank or any Lending Office of any Bank under this Agreement,
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 any Bank or its Lending Office with respect to this Agreement, the
Notes or the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Loans (or,
in the case of any capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on any Bank's capital, taking into
consideration such Bank's customary policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount which such Bank in its sole discretion deems to be
material, such Bank shall from time to time notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of the amount determined in good faith (using any
averaging and attribution methods employed in good faith) by such Bank to
be necessary to compensate such Bank for such increase in cost, reduction
of income, additional expense or reduced rate of return. Such notice shall
set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such
amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Bank ten (10)
Business Days after such notice is given.
4.5.2 Indemnity.
In addition to the compensation required by Section 4.5.1
[Increased Costs, Etc.], the Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against all
liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or
expense incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties
and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by a
Bank to fund or maintain Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option) which such
Bank sustains or incurs as a consequence of any
(i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies or any Swing Loan on a day other than
the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such
payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or
not such payment or prepayment is then due),
(ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later
inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under
Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests and Swing Loan Requests], or
Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under
Section 4.4 [Voluntary Prepayments], 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,
- 20 -
including any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or
otherwise) any principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due
hereunder.
If any Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it
shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in
good faith by such Bank (which determination may include such assumptions,
allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as
such Bank shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Bank for
such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the
Borrower to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.
4.6 Settlement Date Procedures.
In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Banks and
the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may borrow, repay and borrow again
Swing Loans and PNC Bank may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2
hereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on any Business Day
(each a "Settlement Date"), the Administrative Agent may at its option for
any reason notify each Bank of its Ratable Share of the total of the Swing
Loans. Prior to 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on such Settlement Date, each
Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to, and shall
purchase, its Ratable Share of the outstanding Swing Loans. These
settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative
convenience, and nothing contained in this Section shall relieve the Banks
of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans.
4.7 Interbank Market Presumption.
For all purposes of this Agreement and each Note with respect to
any aspects of the Euro-Rate, any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option or any
Optional Currency, each Bank and Administrative Agent shall be presumed to
have obtained rates, funding, currencies, deposits, and the like in the
applicable interbank market regardless whether it did so or not; and each
Bank's and Administrative Agent's determination of amounts payable under,
and actions required or authorized by, Sections 3.4 and 4.5 or otherwise
under this Agreement shall be calculated, at each Bank's and Administrative
Agent's option, as though each Bank and Administrative Agent funded each
Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option through the purchase
of deposits of the types and maturities corresponding to the deposits used
as a reference in accordance with the terms hereof in determining the
Euro-Rate applicable to such Loans, whether in fact that is the case.
4.8 Taxes.
4.8.1 No Deductions.
All payments made by Borrower hereunder and under each Note
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and
all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net
income of any Bank and all income and
- 21 -
franchise taxes applicable to any Bank of the United States (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If Borrower shall be
required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under any Note, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each
Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii)
Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law.
4.8.2 Stamp Taxes.
In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges,
or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the
execution, delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
4.8.3 Indemnification for Taxes Paid by a Bank.
Borrower shall indemnify each Bank for the full amount of
Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section
4.8.3) paid by any Bank and any liability arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date a
Bank makes written demand therefor and shall be subject to reduction for
any material refunds subsequently received by a Bank of Taxes or Other
Taxes previously paid by such Bank to the extent that the Borrower has
indemnified such Bank for the full amount thereof. Any Bank which is
entitled to indemnity under this Section 4.8.3 by reason of Other Taxes
paid by such Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a
certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice,
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice to
the other Banks and the Borrower.
4.8.4 Certificate.
Within 30 days after the date of any payment of any Taxes by
Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to each Bank, at its address referred to
herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof. If no Taxes are payable in respect of any payment by Borrower,
such Borrower shall, if so requested by a Bank, provide a certificate of an
officer of Borrower to that effect.
4.8.5 Survival.
Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in
Section
- 22 -
4.8 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder
and under any instrument delivered hereunder.
4.9 Judgment Currency.
4.9.1 Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments.
If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under a Note in any currency
(the "Original Currency") into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the
parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate
of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures each Bank could purchase the Original Currency with the Other
Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day
preceding that on which final judgment is given.
4.9.2 Indemnity in Certain Events.
The obligation of Borrower in respect of any sum due from
Borrower to any Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an
Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged
only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Bank
of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Bank may in
accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency
with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so
purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Bank in the Original
Currency, Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any
such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Bank against such loss.
E. Section 7.2.9--Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures.
Section 7.2.9--Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint
Ventures--is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
"7.2.9 Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures.
Each of the Loan Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, own or create directly or indirectly any Subsidiaries other
than (i) any Subsidiary which has joined this Agreement as Guarantor on the
Closing Date; (ii) any Subsidiary formed after the Closing Date which joins this
Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.18 [Joinder of Guarantors],
(iii) Education Information Management Systems LLC, KCI Funding Corporation,
(iv) BearingPoint Capital, LLC, provided that the total amount of the
Investments made by the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries in BearingPoint
Capital, LLC shall not at any time exceed $500,000, , and (v) any Foreign
Subsidiary."
F. Section 9-- The Administrative Agent.
(i) Sections 9.16 and 9.17.
- 23 -
Sections 9.16 and 9.17 are hereby amended and restated to read as
follows:
"9.16 Availability of Funds.
The Administrative Agent may assume that each Bank has made or
will make the proceeds of a Loan available to the Administrative Agent in
the applicable currency unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by such Bank on or before the later of (1) the close of Business
on the Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to such Loan
or two (2) hours before the time on which the Administrative Agent actually
funds the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrower (whether using its own
funds pursuant to this Section 9.16 or using proceeds deposited with the
Administrative Agent by the Banks and whether such funding occurs before or
after the time at which Banks are required to deposit the proceeds of such
Loan with the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount in the applicable
currency. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the
Administrative Agent by such Bank in the applicable currency, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount forthwith upon
such demand from the Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect
of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made
available to the Borrower and ending on the date the Administrative Agent
recovers such amount, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds
Effective Rate during the first three (3) days after such interest shall
begin to accrue and (ii) the applicable interest rate in respect of such
Loan after the end of such three-day period.
9.17 Calculations.
In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the
