SECTION 2.  LOANS AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS
 
2.1 Revolving Credit Commitments
 
.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (the “Loans” or the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of all Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding; provided that no Revolving Credit Loan shall be made if, after giving effect thereto and the simultaneous application of the proceeds thereof, the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Credit Lenders would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders at such time.  If at any time the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all of the Revolving Credit Lenders exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitments of all of the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the excess to the Administrative Agent, to be applied first to repay the Revolving Credit Loans and then as cash collateral to secure the Letter of Credit Obligations.  Unless otherwise directed by the Borrower, payments on Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in the direct order of maturity.  The Revolving Credit Commitments may be reduced or terminated from time to time pursuant to Section 2.9.  Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period borrow, repay and reborrow from time to time under the Revolving Credit Commitments, subject to and in accordance with the terms and limitations hereof.  The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligations hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by such other Revolving Credit Lender).  Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3.
 
2.2 Revolving Credit Notes
 
.  The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Revolving Credit Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount (as each may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, a “Note” or “Revolving Credit Note”), payable to the order of such Revolving Credit Lender and in a principal amount equal to the amount of the initial Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender.  Each Revolving Credit Lender is hereby authorized to record the date, Type, and amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made by such Revolving Credit Lender, and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof, on the schedule annexed to and constituting a part of its Revolving Credit Note, provided that the failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make such recordation (or any error in such recordation) shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under such Revolving Credit Note.  Each Revolving Credit Note shall (a) be dated the Closing Date, (b) be stated to mature on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (c) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.6.
 
2.3 Procedure for Revolving Credit Loans
 
.  The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period on any Business Day.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., Philadelphia time, three (3) Business Days before such proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., Philadelphia time, on the day of such proposed Borrowing.  All Loans borrowed on the Closing Date shall initially be Base Rate Loans, provided that such Loans can be converted thereafter to Eurodollar Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.  Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (a) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof; and (b) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing.  If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Each borrowing under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum amount equal to (x) with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings, $500,000 or in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof and (y) with respect to Base Rate Borrowings, $500,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, with respect to Base Rate Borrowings, if the aggregate Unused Revolving Credit Commitments at such time are less than $500,000, such lesser amount, as applicable).
 
Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such request.  Each Revolving Credit Lender will make the amount of its prorata share of such Borrowing (based on its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage at that time) available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.2 prior to 2:00 p.m., Philadelphia time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  Such Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
 
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Credit Lender prior to the date of any borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that such Revolving Credit Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving Credit Lender’s prorata portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such borrowing in accordance with this subsection and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower (without prejudice to the Borrower’s rights against such Revolving Credit Lender) severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Revolving Credit Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, provided, that, if such Lender shall not pay such amount within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the interest rate on such overdue amount shall, at the expiration of such three-Business Day period, be the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Borrowing.  If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

2.4 Letter of Credit Subfacility.
 
(a) During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the Borrower may request the issuance of standby Letters of Credit to support obligations of a Subsidiary of the Parent which finance the working capital and business needs of a Subsidiary of the Parent by delivering to the Issuing Bank a completed Application for letters of credit in such form and with such other certificates, documents and information as the Issuing Bank may specify from time to time by no later than 12:00 noon, Philadelphia time, at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank) in advance of the proposed date of issuance.  Each Application for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by an issuance fee based upon the Issuing Bank’s standard schedule of fees charged for issuing letters of credit as such may be amended from time to time.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section, the Issuing Bank will issue a Letter of Credit, provided, that each Letter of Credit shall (i) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (ii) in no event expire later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and provided further, that in no event shall the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations at any one time exceed the lesser of (i) the L/C Sublimit and (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments minus the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding.  The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit Participant to exceed, any limits imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower hereby agree that the Issuing Bank may issue upon the Borrower’s request, one or more Letter(s) of Credit which by its or their terms may be extended for additional periods of up to one year each provided that (I) the initial expiration date (or any subsequent expiration date) of each such Letter of Credit is not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and (II) renewal of such Letter(s) of Credit, at the Issuing Bank’s discretion, shall be available upon written request from the Borrower to the Issuing Bank at least thirty (30) days (or such other time period as agreed by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank) before the date upon which notice of renewal is otherwise required.  Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (“UCP”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98 International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590 (“ISP98”)), as determined by the Issuing Bank.
 
(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the amount of the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Loans in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily average of the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit during the preceding fiscal quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date), and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 commencing with October 1, 2010 and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  The Borrower shall also pay to the Issuing Bank the Issuing Bank’s then in effect customary fees, plus a fronting fee of twelve and one-half basis points (.125%) on the face amount of each such Letter of Credit, and administrative expenses payable with respect to each Letter of Credit issued or renewed by it as the Issuing Bank may generally charge from time to time; provided that, no fronting fee shall be payable for any period in which there is only one Lender.  Once paid, all of the above fees shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances.  All periodic interest, fees and commissions shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a 360 day year.
 
(c) (i) The Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Letter of Credit Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Revolving Credit Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Letter of Credit Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank (including the Existing Letters of Credit) and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Bank thereunder.  Each Letter of Credit Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank for which the Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Participant shall pay to the Issuing Bank upon demand at the Issuing Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Participant’s share (based on its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage) of (x) the amount of such draft or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed and (y) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with such payment.  Any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with a Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any Lender.
 
(ii) If any amount required to be paid by any Letter of Credit Participant to the Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection 2.4(c)(i) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit is not paid to the Issuing Bank on the date such payment is due from such Letter of Credit Participant, such Letter of Credit Participant shall pay to the Issuing Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (x) such amount, times (y) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate, as quoted by the Issuing Bank, during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank, times (z) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  A certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any Letter of Credit Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
 
 
20

 
(iii) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Letter of Credit Participant its prorata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 2.4(c)(i), the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including by way of set-off or proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Bank), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Bank will distribute to such Letter of Credit Participant its prorata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit Participant shall return to the Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Bank to it.
 
(d) (i)  The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit (including an Existing Letter of Credit) on each date on which a draft presented under such Letter of Credit is paid by the Issuing Bank for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with such payment.  Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, unless other acceptable arrangements for the immediate reimbursement by the Borrower of amounts required to be advanced by the Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit have been made by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank and such reimbursement is made by the Borrower, any and all amounts which the Issuing Bank is required to advance pursuant to a Letter of Credit shall, at the option of the Issuing Bank, become, at the time the amounts are advanced, Revolving Credit Loans from the Revolving Credit Lenders made as a Base Rate Borrowing.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the amount required to be advanced pursuant to the Letters of Credit.  Before 10:00 A.M. (Philadelphia time) on the date of any advance the Revolving Credit Lenders are required to make pursuant to the Letters of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such advance in immediately available funds.
 
(ii) Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this subsection from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the per annum rate of the then applicable Default Rate for Revolving Credit Loans which are Base Rate Loans and shall be payable on demand by the Issuing Bank.
 
(e) (i)   The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Bank that the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 2.4(d)(i) shall not be affected by, among other things (x) the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, provided, that reliance upon such documents by the Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or (y) any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or (z) any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.
 
(ii) The Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
(iii) The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower.
 
(f) If any draft shall be presented for payment to the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit and any other obligation expressly imposed by the UCP or ISP98 as applicable to such Letter or Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
 
(g) To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
 
(h) Subject to subsection 2.4(g) above, the Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of each Application and the Issuing Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from the Borrower’s own.  It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
 
 
21

 
(i) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment obligation under subsection 2.4(c) and the Reimbursement Obligations shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any circumstances, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.4 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:
 
                                                                (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Issuing Bank, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
 
                                                                (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
 
                                                                (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Revolving Credit Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Credit Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);
 
                                                                (iv) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect even if the Issuing Bank has been notified thereof;
 
                                                                (v) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank;
 
                                                               (vi) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Parent and its Subsidiaries;
 
(vii) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party;
 
(viii) the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with respect to any Loan Party;
 
(ix) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing
               
                 (x) the fact that the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and
 
                                                                (xi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
 
(j) In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 9.5, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which the Issuing Bank or the Lenders may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) subject to the following clause (ii), the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).
 
 
22

 
(k) As among the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for:  (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of or drawing under any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Bank shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, facsimile, cable, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder.
 
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not create any liability of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower or any Lender.
 
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be considered Letters of Credit issued hereunder.
 
 
23

 
2.5 Interest and Payment Dates
 
                                        (a)  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus one hundred twenty-five (125) basis points (1.25%).
 
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus two hundred twenty-five (225) basis points (2.25%).
 
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan; provided that, interest accruing on overdue amounts pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be payable on demand as provided in such Section.  The Eurodollar Rate and the Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
2.6 Default Interest
 
.  To the extent not contrary to any Requirement of Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any principal, past due interest, fee or other amount outstanding hereunder shall bear interest for each day thereafter until paid in full (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate which would otherwise be in effect for Base Rate Loans (such rate being referred to as the “Default Rate”); provided that, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, such rate shall be the higher of the Default Rate and two percent (2%) in excess of the rate which would otherwise be applicable to such Eurodollar Loan.  The Borrower acknowledges that such increased interest rate 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 Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk.
 
2.7 Conversion and Continuation Options; Limitations on Tranches
 
                                                 (a)  The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 10:30 a.m., Philadelphia time, on the Business Day of conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan, (b) not later than 10:30 a.m., Philadelphia time, three (3) Business Days prior to conversion or continuation (x) to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, or (y) to continue any Eurodollar Loan as a Eurodollar Loan for any additional Interest Period and (c) not later than 10:30 a.m., Philadelphia time, three (3) Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:
 
(A) a Eurodollar Loan may not be converted at a time other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
 
(B) any portion of a Loan maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan;
 
(C) no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such and no Base Rate Loan may be converted to a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
(D) any portion of a Eurodollar Loan that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan by reason of clauses (B) or (C) above automatically shall be converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Loan to a Base Rate Loan;
 
(E) if by the third Business Day prior to the last day of any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans the Borrower has failed to give notice of conversion or continuation as described in this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period;
 
(F) all conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each Tranche of Eurodollar Loans shall be equal to $500,000 or in increments of $500,000 in excess thereof; and
 
(G) the Borrower shall not have outstanding at any one time more than six (6) Tranches in the aggregate of Eurodollar Loans.
 
Each request by the Borrower to convert (but not continue) a Loan shall constitute a representation and warranty that each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein is true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate expressly to an earlier date, in which case such request shall constitute a representation and warranty that such representations and warranties are true and correct as of such date).  Accrued interest on a Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion.
 
(b) In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination absent manifest error shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that dollar deposits in the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan are not generally available in the London Interbank Market, or that the rate at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the applicable Lenders of making or maintaining the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telephonic notice of such determination to the Borrower and the applicable Lenders, and any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Loan or for conversion to or maintenance of a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan.  After such notice shall have been given and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, each request for a Eurodollar Loan shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.8 Commitment Fees
 
.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender, on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, commencing October 1, 2010, during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently terminated or reduced as provided herein, a revolving credit commitment fee (collectively, the “Commitment Fees”) at a rate per annum equal to thirty (30) basis points (0.30%) on the average daily amount of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of each Revolving Credit Lender during the preceding fiscal quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date).  The Commitment Fees due to each Revolving Credit Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute the Commitment Fees among the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.
 
All of the foregoing fees shall be (a) computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days, including the first day but excluding the last day occurring in the period for which such fees are payable, and (b) paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Lenders.  Once paid, none of the foregoing fees shall be refundable under any circumstances, except in the case of manifest error by the Administrative Agent in the computation of any such amount, which error is raised in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent within twenty (20) days of payment of such amount.
 
2.9 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments
 
                                                (a)  The Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically terminated on the Revolving Credit Termination Date whereupon the entire outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any fees or other amounts owed under the Loan Documents (including all Commitment Fees and fees and other amounts in connection with the Letters of Credit) shall be due and payable.
 
(b) Upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (A) each partial reduction of such Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (B) the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced or terminated if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders (as the same are being reduced) at such time.  Each reduction in the Revolving Credits Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Credits Commitments, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction.
 
 
25

 
2.10 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans
 
                                                 (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but in any event subject to Section 2.14), upon prior written, telecopy or telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent given no later than 10:30 a.m., Philadelphia time, (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the same day such prepayment is to be made, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, three (3) Business Days before any proposed prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that each such partial prepayment shall be in the principal amount of at least (A) $500,000 or in whole multiples of $100,000 in the case of Base Rate Loans and (B) $500,000 or in whole multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Eurodollar Loans.
 
(b) On the date of any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9, the Borrower shall pay or prepay so much of the Revolving Credit Loans as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders will not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders after giving effect to such termination or reduction.
 
(c) In the event of (i) any direct or indirect sale or other disposition of any of the assets, including lines of business, of any Subsidiary of the Parent (other than sales or dispositions referred to in subsections 6.5(a), (b) or (c)) (each, an “Asset Sale”) the sale price for which in the aggregate with all prior Asset Sales made since the date of this Agreement (but only those Asset Sales the Net Proceeds of which were not applied as a prepayment as hereinafter provided in this subsection 2.10(c)) is greater than $1,000,000, (ii) any sale or issuance of Capital Stock by the Parent (other than Capital Stock issued (x) to any seller in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or (y) pursuant to any employee equity plan of the Parent or its Subsidiaries), (iii) the incurrence of additional Indebtedness for borrowed money by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness incurred to a seller in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or otherwise permitted under Section 6.2 (other than Subordinated Debt under subsection (g) thereto unless such Subordinated Debt was incurred in connection with financing a Permitted Acquisition)), or (iv) any Material Recovery Event, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the outstanding Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale, issuance of Capital Stock, incurrence of additional Indebtedness or Material Recovery Event; provided that, the amount of any prepayment hereunder shall be rounded down to the nearest multiple of $1,000; provided, further, that no such repayment shall be required in respect of the Net Proceeds arising from (x) an Asset Sale if, and to the extent, that the Borrower or such Subsidiary has reinvested any such Net Proceeds arising from such Asset Sale in productive assets of a kind then used or useable in the business of a Subsidiary of the Parent (including Capital Expenditures) prior to the date that is one hundred eighty days (180) after the date such Asset Sale is closed or (y) a Material Recovery Event if, and to the extent that, (I) the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent in writing within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the proceeds of such Material Recovery Event of such Subsidiary’s intention to use such Net Proceeds for the repair, replacement or restoration of the damaged condemned property within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the receipt of such proceeds and (II) such Subsidiary does in fact reinvest such Net Proceeds arising from such Material Recovery Event for the repair, replacement or restoration of the damaged or condemned property prior to the date that is one hundred eighty days (180) after the receipt of such Net Proceeds.  At the time any such Asset Sale, issuance of Capital Stock or incurrence of additional Indebtedness is completed, or promptly after any Net Proceeds are received by the Parent or a Subsidiary thereof in connection with a Material Recovery Event (and, if the Borrower has given notice of its or such Subsidiary’s, as the case may be, intention to use all or a portion of the Net Proceeds from a Material Recovery Event as provided above, one hundred and eighty (180) days after its receipt of such Net Proceeds), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an accounting of the Net Proceeds in sufficient detail and form acceptable to the Administrative Agent together with the amount of any prepayment or repayment required at such time.  Payments made pursuant to this subsection 2.10(c) shall be applied in accordance with subsection 2.10(f) below.
 
(d) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
 
(e) Each notice of prepayment pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.10 shall specify (i) the prepayment date and (ii) the principal amount of each Borrowing to be prepaid.  Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein.  All prepayments under this Section 2.10 on other than Base Rate Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment and any amounts owed under Section 2.14.
 
(f) Payments pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.10 shall be applied to Revolving Credit Loans until paid in full; provided that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any such payments shall be applied pro rata to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations (based on the principal amount of the Loans outstanding and the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding), with any amounts attributable to the Letter of Credit Obligations to be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account pursuant to Section 7.2 or, at the Administrative Agent’s discretion, applied to the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding.  Payments of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations shall not reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments.  To the extent any prepayments are required pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.10 after the Loans have been paid in full, then, no such payments shall be required unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, to be held in a cash collateral account pursuant to Section 7.2, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Letter of Credit Coverage Requirement and (ii) the amount of cash, if any, then held by the Administrative Agent in a collateral account pursuant to Section 7.2, with any remaining Net Proceeds to be applied first to any other outstanding Obligations and next to be retained by the Parent, the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, unless otherwise requested by the Borrower, each payment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and next to Eurodollar Loans in the direct order of maturity of Interest Periods.

2.11 Illegality
 
.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert or refinance Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.  If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.14.
 
2.12 Requirements of Law
 
                                                 (a)  In the event that any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation, or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
 
(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for taxes covered by Section 2.13 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income, gross receipts or revenue of such Lender);
 
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the interest rate on such Eurodollar Loan hereunder; or
 
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof then, in any such case, the Borrower shall as promptly as practicable pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall as promptly as practicable notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.  If any amount is refunded to such Lender, such Lender will reimburse the Borrower for amounts paid in respect of the refunded amount without interest (except to the extent of any interest actually received by such Lender from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).
 
(b) In the event that any Lender shall have determined that any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission as promptly as practicable by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
 
(c) Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts in order to avoid or to minimize, as the case may be, the payment by the Borrower of any additional amount under subsections 2.12(a) and (b); provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to incur any expense, cost or other amount in connection with utilizing such reasonable efforts; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under this Section 2.12 with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any change in any Law within such one hundred eighty (180) day period.
 
 
27

 
2.13 Taxes
 
.  (a)  All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, other than Excluded Taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called “Taxes”).  If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes.  Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.  If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall 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.  The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
(b) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.  Each such Foreign Lender shall also deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such further documentation on or before the date that any documentation previously delivered to the Borrower hereunder shall expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in such previously delivered documentation.
 
(c) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of payments of United States withholding tax or other Taxes made by the Borrower which are consistent with the forms and information delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or if the payment of such amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to comply with the requirements of subsection 2.13(b) or the Administrative Agent or such Lender did not timely deliver to the Borrower the forms listed or described in subsection 2.13(b) or did not take such other steps as reasonably may be available to it under applicable tax laws and any applicable tax treaty or convention to obtain an exemption from, or reduction (to the lowest applicable rate) of, such United States withholding tax and other Taxes or, if such steps were taken, the information was not timely and duly delivered to the Borrower.
 
2.14 Indemnity
 
.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (d) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, in each case, any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  A certificate as to any amounts (including a calculation thereof) that a Lender is entitled to receive under this Section 2.14 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and all such amounts shall be paid by the Borrower promptly upon demand by such Lender.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
(b) For the purpose of calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Eurodollar Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period or applicable period for such Eurodollar Loan; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.15 Treatment of Loans and Payments
 
Except as provided under Sections 2.4, 2.11, 2.13 or subsection 9.6(g), each Borrowing by the Borrower hereunder, each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of Commitment Fees and participation in Letters of Credit shall be made pro rata among the relevant Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.  Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s amount of such borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.
 
2.16 Payments
 
                                                 (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any fees or other amounts) hereunder not later than 12:00 (noon), Philadelphia time, on the date when due to the Administrative Agent at its offices set forth in Section 9.2, in immediately available funds.  Such payments shall be made without setoff or counterclaim of any kind.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Lenders any payments received by the Administrative Agent for their account promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, provided that, any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at or before 2:00 p.m. Pennsylvania time will be distributed to the Lenders on the same Business Day and any such payment received after that time on a given day may be distributed on the next Business Day.
 
(b) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest or fees, as the case may be, provided that if such extension would cause payment of any interest on or principal of the Loans or payment of any commitment fees to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
 
(c) In the event that any payment of principal, interest or commitment fees due the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents is not paid when due, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to effect such payment upon prior notice to the Borrower by debiting any demand deposit account of the Borrower now or in the future maintained with the Administrative Agent.  This right of debiting accounts of the Borrower is in addition to any right of setoff accorded the Lenders hereunder or by operation of law.
 
2.17 Loan Accounts
 
.  Each Lender shall open and maintain on its books a loan account in the Borrower’s name with respect to Loans made, repayments, prepayments, the computation and payment of interest and other amounts due and sums paid to such Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents.  Except in the case of manifest error in computation, such records shall be presumed correct as to the amount at any time due to such Lender from the Borrower.  The failure of any Lender to make an entry in its loan account shall not abrogate the Borrower’s duty to repay the Indebtedness and other amounts owed to such Lender under the Loan Documents.
 
2.18 Assignment of Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate
 
In the event (a) any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.11 that it has become unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, (b) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.12 or (c) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection 9.6(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Purchasing Lender that shall assume such assigned obligations (which Purchasing Lender may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (ii) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, (iii) the Borrower or such Purchasing Lender shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans, plus all fees (including, without limitation, Commitment Fees) and other amounts accrued hereunder for the account of such Lender (including, without limitation, amounts owing under Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14) and (iv) to the extent such affected Lender is also the Issuing Bank, (A) the Borrower or such Purchasing Lender  shall have paid to the Issuing Bank all L/C Disbursements, plus all fees (including, without limitation, Letter of Credit Fees) and other amounts accrued hereunder for the account of the Issuing Bank and (B) the Borrower shall have either (I) returned to the Issuing Bank the original of any outstanding Letters of Credit or (II) delivered to the Issuing Bank cash collateral for any such outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Coverage Requirement for each such Letter of Credit the original of which is not returned to the Issuing Bank.  Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.18.
 
2.19 Use of Proceeds
 
The proceeds of the Loans may be used by the Borrower for its working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business (including paying the fees and expenses associated with the Loan Documents) and to finance all or a portion of the purchase price and transaction costs in connection with Permitted Acquisitions.  The Letters of Credit shall be letters of credit required in the ordinary course of business of the Parent’s Subsidiaries or in connection with Permitted Acquisitions.

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions
 
The Lenders hereby agree that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower, any other party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to perform its or their obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the other parties to the Loan Documents (or any of them).
 
8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent
 
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower or any other party to a Loan Document), independent accountants and experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders as shall be required hereunder) as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders as shall be required hereunder), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.
 
8.5 Notice of Default
 
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless it has received notice from a Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders as shall be required hereunder); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and/or any other party to the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other parties to the Loan Documents and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder, issue and/or participate in Letters of Credit and enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other party to the Loan Documents which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
 
8.7 Indemnification
 
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its agent capacity hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation, if any, of the Borrower to do so) ratably in accordance with each Lender’s respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
8.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity
 
The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any other party to the Loan Documents as though the Administrative Agent were not an agent hereunder.  With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and any Notes issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the administrative agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
 
8.9 Release of Liens
 
Upon the sale or other transfer of any assets of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in compliance with Section 6.5, and so long as it is not aware that any Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Administrative Agent will take such action as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Administrative Agent’s Lien on such assets, including delivering to the Borrower or such other Loan Party, at the cost of the Borrower, appropriate collateral releases.
 
8.10 Successor Administrative Agent
 
The Administrative Agent may resign as administrative agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which appointment shall be subject to (unless a Default or Event of Default shall exist) the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the appointee, whereupon such successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon its appointment and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the other parties to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any holders of the Notes.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, sell to any Lender or Affiliate thereof and, with the consent of the Borrower (except when any Event of Default exists or if the sale is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) and the Administrative Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented if it does not object to the assignment within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof), to one or more other banks or financial institutions (each, a “Purchasing Lender”) all or a part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) so long as no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, such assignment shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall exist) and the Administrative Agent shall agree in their sole discretion), unless the sum of such assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure plus Unused Revolving Credit Commitment is less than $1,000,000 in which case such assigning Lender may transfer all, but not less than all, of its interests hereunder and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for its acceptance (to the extent required) and recording in the Register an Assignment and Assumption, together with the Notes subject to such assignment and, except for assignments by a Lender to one of its Affiliates, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.  Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.6, from and after the effective date specified in the applicable Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent), (A) such Purchasing Lender shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 5.14(c) and 9.5 (to the extent that such Lender’s entitlement to such benefits arose out of such Lender’s position as a Lender prior to the applicable assignment).  Such Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting amounts and percentages held by the Lenders arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a pro rata portion of the rights and obligations of such assigning Lender under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.
 
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby, free and clear of any adverse claim and that its commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower, the Parent, any other party, or any Subsidiary thereof or the performance or observance by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) such Purchasing Lender represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such Purchasing Lender confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such Purchasing Lender will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) such Purchasing Lender appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as administrative agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such Purchasing Lender agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender including, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, its obligation pursuant to Section 2.13 to deliver the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to the Purchasing Lender’s exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to the Purchasing Lender under this Agreement.
 
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
