Each change in the interest rate under this Section 3.1(b) due to a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Alternate Base Rate.

35


 

          (c) Interest accrued on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Monthly Payment Date and at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6 , the unpaid principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for the applicable LIBOR Period.

          (d) Any Residual Interest accrued hereunder shall be due and payable in arrears on each Monthly Payment Date and at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

          (e) If not sooner paid, the outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, as it may be extended in accordance with Section 2.7 , or such earlier date as such amounts may otherwise become due pursuant to the express terms hereof.

          (f) The Notes may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that with respect to any voluntary prepayment under this Section, (i) any partial prepayment shall be not less than $1,000,000, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice of any prepayment by noon, Cleveland time on the date of prepayment (which must be a Banking Day) in the case of an Alternate Base Rate Loan, and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, three (3) Banking Days before the date of prepayment, which notice shall identify the date and amount of the prepayment and the Loan(s) being prepaid, (iii) any payment or prepayment of all or any part of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period shall be subject to Section 3.5(d) and (iv) upon any partial prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan that reduces it below $1,000,000, the remaining portion thereof shall automatically convert to an Alternate Base Rate Loan.

     3.2 [ Intentionally Omitted ].

     3.3 [ Intentionally Omitted ].

     3.4 Increased Commitment Costs . If any Lender shall determine in good faith that the introduction after the Closing Date of any applicable Law or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender, with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such central bank or other authority not imposed as a result of such Lender’s or such corporation’s failure to comply with any other Laws, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, then, within ten (10) Banking Days after demand of such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified in good faith by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate

36


 

such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the extent reasonably allocable to such obligations under this Agreement, provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand. Each Lender’s determination of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     3.5 LIBOR Costs and Related Matters .

          (a) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special LIBOR Circumstance:

               (i) shall subject any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to any tax, duty or other charge or cost with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender attributable to the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Advance or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income (including taxes on gross income imposed in lieu of net income, minimum taxes or branch profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is “doing business” and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed, for any reason, to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 18.21 , to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws to establish a complete exemption;

               (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not applicable or deemed applicable on the date hereof (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, special deposit, capital or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office); or

               (iii) shall impose on any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office or the London interbank market any other condition affecting any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Advances, its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances or this Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the same;

and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by such Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Advance or in respect of any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances, then, within five (5) Banking Days after demand by such Lender (with a

37


 

copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction (determined as though such Lender’s LIBOR Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Rate Advance in the London interbank market), provided, that with respect to any additional amount arising as a result of the occurrence of an event described in clause (i) above, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand. A statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (b) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special LIBOR Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Rate Loan, or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, automatically shall be converted to Alternate Base Rate Advances on either (1) the last day of the LIBOR Period(s) applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such LIBOR Rate Advances to such day(s) or (2) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Rate Advances to such day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to payment of a Breakage Fee under Section 3.5(d) . Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will cause that Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and agrees to designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons set forth above (or those set forth in clause (c) below), to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall fund such amount as an Alternate Base Rate Advance for the same period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as an Alternate Base Rate Advance. Any Lender whose obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances has been suspended under this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower of the cessation of the Special LIBOR Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension.

          (c) If, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan:

               (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally that are beyond the reasonable control of the Lenders, deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to any Lender in the London interbank market for the applicable LIBOR Period; or

38


 

               (ii) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent (i) does not represent the effective pricing to such Lenders for deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market in the relevant amount for the applicable LIBOR Period, or (ii) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making the applicable LIBOR Rate Advances;

then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended.

          (d) Except for a failure caused by any Lender’s default, Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders against any loss or expense that the Lenders may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loans) as a consequence of (i) any failure of Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder, (ii) any failure of Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof, (iii) any failure to fulfill on the scheduled commencement date of any LIBOR Period hereunder the applicable conditions set forth herein as prerequisites to an Advance that is to be a LIBOR Rate Loan or to the election of a LIBOR Rate, (iv) any failure to borrow hereunder after a request for a LIBOR Rate Loan has been given, (v) any payment or prepayment permitted or mandated hereunder of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the relevant LIBOR Period, including without limitation upon acceleration following an Event of Default, or (vi) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including but not limited to any loss or expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, such loss or expense shall conclusively be deemed to include a “Breakage Fee” (as defined below). The term “Breakage Fee” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of $200 or the financial loss incurred by the Lenders resulting from prepayment or failure to borrow, calculated by the Administrative Agent as the difference between the amount of interest the Lenders would have earned (from like investments in the Money Markets (as hereinafter defined) as of the first day of the applicable LIBOR Period) had prepayment or failure to borrow not occurred and the interest the Lenders would actually earn (from like investments in the Money Markets as of the date of prepayment or failure to borrow) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment or failure to borrow. Borrower agrees that the Breakage Fee shall not be discounted to its present value. Any voluntary prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such LIBOR Rate Loan. The term “Money Markets” refers to one or more wholesale funding markets available to Lenders, including negotiable certificates of deposit, commercial paper, Eurodollar deposits, bank notes, federal funds and others. The Administrative Agent shall provide to Borrower a statement, signed by an officer of the Administrative Agent, explaining any such loss or expense and setting forth the computation of the Breakage Fee pursuant to the preceding provisions which, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower.

39


 

          (e) Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.5 , and agrees to designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Any request for compensation by a Lender under this Section 3.5 shall set forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from Borrower, a calculation of the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have been incurred by the Lender.

     3.6 Late Payments . If any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum (the “ Default Rate ”) at all times equal to (i) in the case of interest or principal, the sum of the rate otherwise applicable to the Loans, plus 3% and (ii) in the case of any other amount, the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus 3%, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and shall be payable upon demand. In addition, Borrower shall pay, upon demand, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due.

     3.7 Computation of Interest and Fees . Computation of interest and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest at the Alternate Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be payable hereunder or under the Notes, and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the Notes which would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of principal.

     3.8 Non Banking Days . If any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Banking Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Banking Day, unless, in the case of a payment relating to a LIBOR Rate Loan, such next succeeding Banking Day is in the next calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the next preceding Banking Day, but the extension of time shall not be reflected in computing interest and fees.

     3.9 Manner and Treatment of Payments .

          (a) Each payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections 3.4 , 3.5 , 18.3 , 18.11 and 18.22 ) or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made to the

40


 

Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on the day of payment (which must be a Banking Day). All payments received after such time, on any Banking Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Banking Day. The amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be paid in immediately available funds by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders entitled to receive such amounts in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement. If any payment is received by the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on a Banking Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that Banking Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of not receiving the amount of such payment as provided in the Co-Lender Agreement. All payments shall be made in Dollars.

          (b) Each payment or prepayment to a Lender shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate Loans held by such Lender and then to LIBOR Rate Loans held by such Lender. Each payment or prepayment on account of any such Alternate Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan to Lenders holding Loans in such Tranche shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by each of such Lenders within a Tranche.

          (c) Each Lender shall keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes and, subject to Section 17.6(g) , such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep such a record shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.

          (d) Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower or any other Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by any Lender’s overall net income (including taxes on gross income imposed in lieu of net income tax, minimum taxes or branch profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is “doing business” and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which any Lender has failed, for whatever reason, timely to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 18.21 , to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws to establish a complete exemption (all such non excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). To the extent that Borrower is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that Lender’s receiving a net

41


 

after Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding.

     3.10 Funding Sources . Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner.

     3.11 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver . Any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.6 ), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.6 ), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

     3.12 Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Payments Will be Made by Borrower . Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrower prior to the date on which any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is due that Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of such assumed payment. If Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

     3.13 Calculations Detail . The Administrative Agent, and any Lender, shall provide reasonable detail to Borrower regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or that Lender, under Article 3 has been determined, within a reasonable period of time after request by Borrower.

     3.14 Survivability . The provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive following the date on which the Commitments are terminated and all Loans hereunder are fully paid, and Borrower shall remain obligated thereunder for all claims under such Sections made by any Lender to Borrower.
