herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to
make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to
time after the Closing Date until the earlier of one Business Day

(a) Each Loan (other than Swingline

made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable
Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make
any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its
obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for
Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), Loans (other

pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make
any Eurodollar Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign
branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;
provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect
the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement or cause the Borrower to pay
additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01. Borrowings of
more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided
further that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any
Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than six Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time. For
purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest
Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date,
shall be considered separate Borrowings.
(c) Except with respect to Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall make each
Loan (other than Swingline Loans) to be made by it hereunder on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent
may designate not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received
to an account as directed by the Borrower in the applicable
Borrowing Request maintained with the Administrative Agent or, if a
Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition
precedent herein specified shall not have been met or waived,
return the amounts so received to the respective
Lenders.
40
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such
Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If
the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then,
to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower
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 Loans comprising such Borrowing and
(ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or
short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative
Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the
Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the
Revolving Maturity Date.
(f) If the Issuing Bank shall not
have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by
Section 2.13(e) within the time specified in such Section, the
Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the
LC Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify
each Revolving Lender of such LC Disbursement and its Pro Rata
Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent
on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such
notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not
later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately
following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro
Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement (it being understood that
such amount shall be deemed to constitute a Base Rate Revolving
Loan of such Lender, and such payment shall be deemed to have
reduced the LC Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will
promptly pay to the Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the
Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to
the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.13(e) prior to the time that any
Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f);
any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter

Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each
day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid
in accordance with this paragraph (f) to but excluding the

42
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement
specified with respect to any requested
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration
(subject to the proviso in clause (d) above). Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each
Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such
Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing.
Section 2.04. Evidence of Debt;

Revolving Maturity Date.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender

shall be entitled to review records of such accounts with prior
reasonable notice during normal business hours.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall
maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of
each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and the
Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable
from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder; and (iii) the
amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder
for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share
thereof. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender. The Borrower shall be entitled to review
records of such accounts with prior reasonable notice during normal
business hours.
(d) The entries made in the accounts
maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations therein recorded absent manifest error; provided
that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in
accordance with their terms.
(e) Any Lender may request that
Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In
such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and
deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of

its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit A.
Thereafter, the Loans

in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or,
if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its
registered permitted assigns).
(f) All funds held by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party (other than petty cash accounts funded in
the ordinary course of business, the deposits in which shall not
aggregate more than $2,000,000 or exceed $100,000 with respect to
any one account (or in each case, such greater amounts to which the
Administrative Agent may agree), and payroll, trust and tax
withholding accounts funded in the ordinary course of business and
required by Applicable Law) shall be deposited in one or more bank
or investment accounts, subject to account control agreements in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent,
and, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Specified Default or if, for five consecutive Business Days, the
Excess Availability Requirements are not met (each, a “
Cash Dominion Event ”), shall be applied on a daily
basis to the repayment of the Swingline Loans and, thereafter, to
any Revolving Loans which become due, without a reduction in the
Aggregate Commitments until (i) such Specified Default is
cured or waived and/or (ii) Excess Availability has exceeded
the Excess Availability Requirements for 30 consecutive days;
provided, that a Cash Dominion Event may not be so cured on more
than two (2) occasions in any period of 365 consecutive
days.

during the period from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued
Commitment Fees shall be payable monthly in arrears in the case of

Date to and including the first payment date. All Commitment Fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing
Commitment Fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving
Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of
the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and
the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such
purpose).
44
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement
(b) Administrative Agent Fees
. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
own account, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter or such other
fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon

Administrative Agent Fees ”).
(c) LC and Fronting Fees .
The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee (“
LC Participation Fee ”) with respect to its
participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate
equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time used to determine
the interest rate on Eurodollar Revolving Loans pursuant to
Section 2.06, as described on Annex I attached hereto, on the
average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding
any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)
during the period from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender
ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a
fronting fee (“ Fronting Fee ”), which shall
accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily
amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period
from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of
the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date
on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing
Bank’s standard and reasonable fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
or processing of drawings thereunder as agreed among the Borrower
and the Issuing Lender from time to time. LC Participation Fees and
Fronting Fees accrued through and including the last day of March,
June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the
third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first
such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all
such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on
which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on
demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such
request). Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to
this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after written demand
(together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement
request). All LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).
(d) All Fees shall be paid on the
dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders
(other than Defaulting Lenders), except that the Fronting Fees
shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the
Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in
such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to
convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such
Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may
elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this
Section 2.08. The Borrower may elect different options with
respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which

Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower
shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation
that, if made, would result in more than six Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time. This
Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which
may not be converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to
this Section 2.08, the Borrower shall notify the

(d) Promptly following receipt of an
Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise
each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s

at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the
Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, after the

(i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued
as a Eurodollar
48
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement
Revolving Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid,
each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to a Base

(ii) In the event of any partial
reduction of the Revolving Commitments, then (A) at or prior
to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of the
Aggregate Exposures after giving effect thereto and (B) if the
Aggregate Exposures would exceed the lesser of (x) the
Aggregate Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base then in
effect, after giving effect to such reduction, then the Borrower

to the imposition of a new Reserve or a change in the methodology
of calculating an existing Reserve, within six Business Days
following such notice), first , repay or prepay all
Swingline Loans, second , repay or prepay Revolving

(iii) In the event that the

overadvance is due to the imposition of a new Reserve or a change
in the methodology of calculating an existing Reserve, or change in
eligibility standards, within six Business Days following notice),
apply an amount equal to such excess to prepay the Loans and any
interest accrued thereon, in accordance with this
Section 2.09(b)(iii). The Borrower shall, first , repay
or prepay all Swingline Loans, second , repay or prepay
Revolving Borrowings, and third , replace or cash

procedures set forth in Section 2.13(j), in an amount
sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(c) Application of

mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall
select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify
such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to
paragraph (i) of this Section 2.09(c). Unless a Cash
Dominion Event then exists and is continuing, except as provided in
Section 2.09(b)(iii) hereof, all mandatory prepayments shall
be applied as follows: first , to Fees and reimbursable
expenses of Agents then due and payable pursuant to the Loan
Documents; second , to interest then due and payable on the
Borrower’s Swingline Loan; third , to the principal
balance of the Swingline Loan outstanding until the same has been
prepaid in full; fourth , to interest then due and payable

eighth , as required by the Intercreditor Agreement or, in
the absence of any such requirement, returned to the Borrower or to
such party as otherwise required by law.
(ii) Amounts to be applied pursuant
to this Section 2.09 to the prepayment of Revolving Loans
shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding Base
Rate Revolving Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such
application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Revolving Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of
Loans required under this Section 2.09 shall be in excess of
the amount of the Base Rate Revolving Loans at the time
outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment that
is equal to the amount of such outstanding Base Rate Revolving
Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of the
Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either

50
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement
Eurodollar Revolving Loans (with all
interest accruing thereon for the account of the Borrower) or
(B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to
the Lenders under Section 2.10. Notwithstanding any such
deposit in the LC Collateral Account, interest shall continue to
accrue on such Loans until prepayment.
(d) Notice of Prepayment .
The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by

such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount
of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case
of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the
amount of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment pursuant to
this Section shall be irrevocable, except that the Borrower may, by
subsequent notice to the Administrative Agent, revoke any such
notice of prepayment if such notice of revocation is received not
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day on which such
scheduled prepayment and, provided that (i) the
Borrower reimburses each Lender pursuant to Section 3.05 for
any funding losses within five Business Days after receiving
written demand therefor and (ii) the amounts of Loans as to
which such revocation applies shall be deemed converted to (or
continued as, as applicable) Base Rate Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.08 as of the date of notice of
revocation (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement). Promptly following receipt of any
such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline
Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be
in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except
as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory
prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably
to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall

Section 2.10. Payments Generally;
Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs .
(a) The Borrower shall make each
payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of
LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 3.01, 3.04
and 3.05, or otherwise) at or before the time expressly
required
51
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement
hereunder or under such other Loan Document for
such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to
2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the reasonable
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to
the Administrative Agent at its offices at 101 N. Tryon Street 15th
Floor, NC1-001-15-04, Charlotte, NC 28255, except payments to be
made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly
provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.01,
3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 shall be made to the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of to the Persons entitled thereto and payments
pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Persons specified
therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such
payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any
payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in
Dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient
funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to
pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
in the manner as provided in Section 2.09(c) or 10.02 hereof,
as applicable, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto.
(c) If any Lender shall, by
exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline
Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued
interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other
Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with
the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their
respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this
paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by
the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms
of this Agreement or any
52
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agree, to
the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law that any
Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Loan Parties rights of setoff
and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Lender were a direct creditor of a Loan Party in the amount of
such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or
Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date
of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make
any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.02(c), 2.02(f), 2.10(d), 2.12(d) or 2.13(d), then
the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding
any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.11. Defaulting
Lenders .
(a) Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender (a “
Defaulting Lender ”) defaults (a “ Funding
Default ”) in its obligation to fund any Loan (a “
Defaulted Loan ”) in accordance with
Section 2.02, then (i) during any Default Period (as
defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such
Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”
for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of
any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents,
(ii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law during the
Default Period (A) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving
Loans pursuant to Section 2.09 shall, if the Borrower so
requests at the time of making such voluntary prepayment and if the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, consents thereto, be
applied to the
53
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement
Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting
Lender had no Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such
Defaulting Lender were zero, and if the Administrative Agent does
not so elect, the portion attributable to the Defaulting Lender
shall be held by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Defaulting Lender, and as security (along with earnings, if any)
for its obligations (y) under this Agreement to the Agents and
the Lenders and (z) when all such obligations (contingent and
otherwise) have been satisfied, paid to the Borrower, and
(B) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant
to Section 2.09 shall, if the Borrower so requests at the time
of making such mandatory prepayments and if the Administrative
Agent, in its sole discretion, consents thereto, be applied to the
Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of
such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all
Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and
agreed that, if the Administrative Agent so elects, the Borrower
shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment
of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a
result of the operation of the provisions of this clause
(B) and if the Administrative Agent does not so elect, the
portion attributable to the Defaulting Lender shall be held by
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Defaulting Lender, and
as security (along with earnings, if any) for its obligations
(y) under this Agreement to the Agents and the Lenders and
(z) when all such obligations (contingent and otherwise) have
been satisfied, the Borrower, (iii) upon the Administrative
Agent providing prior written consent, such Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving Commitment and outstanding Loans and such
Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the LC Disbursements
shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee in
respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such
Defaulting Lender, and upon the Administrative Agent providing
prior written consent, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled
to receive any Commitment Fee with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default with
respect to such Defaulting Lender and (iv) any portion of the
Commitment Fee allocated to the Defaulting Lender shall be held by
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Defaulting Lender and
as security (along with earnings, if any) for its obligations owed
(y) under this Agreement to the Agent’s and the Lenders
and (z) when all such obligations (contingent and otherwise)
have been satisfied, paid to the Borrower.
For purposes of this Agreement,
“ Default Period ” means, with respect to any
Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the
applicable Funding Default and ending on the date on which the
Borrower, Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders waive all
Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing.

.
(a) Swingline Commitment .
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline
Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to
time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in
(i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline
Loans exceeding $7.0 million or (ii) the Aggregate
Exposures exceeding the lesser of (A) the Aggregate
Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base then in effect;
provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to
make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.
Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
Swingline Loans.
(b) Swingline Loans . To
request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy), not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day
of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable
and specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and
amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent
will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice
received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each
Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to
the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline
Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.13(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline
Loan. The Borrower shall not request a Swingline Loan if at the
time of and immediately after giving effect to such request a
Default has occurred and is continuing. Swingline Loans shall be
made in minimum amounts of $100,000.
(c) Prepayment . The Borrower
shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay,
without premium or penalty, any Swingline Loan, in whole or in
part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice
promptly confirmed by written, or telecopy notice) to the Swingline
Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 4:00 p.m., New York
City time on the date of repayment at the Swingline Lender’s
address for notices specified in the Swingline Lender’s
Administrative Questionnaire. All principal payments of Swingline
Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal
amount being repaid to the date of payment.
(d) Participations . The
Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative
Agent not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business
Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such
Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans
outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of
Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate.
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will
give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender,
55
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement
specifying in such notice such Lender’s
Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt
of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro
Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance
of a Default or reduction or termination of the Aggregate
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (
provided that such payment shall not cause such
Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment). Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its
obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.02(f) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis , to the
payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the
amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this
paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline
Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from
the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect
of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the
proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly
remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by
the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made
their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline
Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of
participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall
not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment
thereof.
Section 2.13. Letters of
Credit .

terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the

time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period
( provided that the Borrower shall be a co-applicant with
respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of or in
favor of a Subsidiary). All Existing Letters of Credit shall be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have been
issued on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement, and the
Lenders shall thereupon acquire participations in the Existing
Letters of Credit as if so issued without further action by any
party hereto, to be acquired by the Lenders hereto. In the event

not later than 1:00 p.m. on the second Business Day preceding the
requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or
such later date and time as is reasonably acceptable to the Issuing

shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the
amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the

Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended; (ii) the
proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which
shall be a Business Day), (iii) the nature of the proposed
amendment, renewal or extension, and (iv) such other matters
as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. If requested by the
Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit
application substantially on the Issuing Bank’s standard form
in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and
upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of
Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that),
after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $25.0 million
and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the
lesser of (A) the total Revolving Commitments and (B) the
Borrowing Base then in effect. Unless the Issuing Bank shall

Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business
on the earlier of the date which is one year after the date of the
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other longer period of
time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank
may agree and, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one
(1) year after such renewal or extension) and, unless cash
collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the
reasonable
57
Keystone Revolving Credit Agreement

applicable Issuing Bank (in which case the expiry may extend no
longer than twelve months after the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Each Standby Letter of
Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision
whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for
additional consecutive periods of twelve (12) months or less
(but, subject to the foregoing, not beyond the date that is after
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) unless the applicable Issuing
Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least thirty
(30) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that
such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of
Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further
action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving
Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in
such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata
Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account
