(c)	The Borrowers agree:

(i)	Any sum drawn under a letter of credit may, at the option of the Bank, be added to the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement. The amount will bear interest and be due as described elsewhere in this Agreement.

(ii)	If there is a default under this Agreement, to immediately prepay and make the Bank whole for any outstanding letters of credit.

2.	OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES

2.1	Optional Rates

 

 

2.2	LIBOR Rate

 

(a)

The interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will be one or two weeks, or one, two, three, four or six months. The first day of the interest period must be a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks are open for business in New York and London and dealing in offshore dollars (a “LIBOR Banking Day”). The last day of the interest period and the actual number of days during the interest period will be determined by the Bank using the practices of the London inter-bank market.

(b)	Each LIBOR Rate Portion will be for an amount not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

(c)	The “LIBOR Rate” means the interest rate determined by the following formula. (All amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as of the first day of the interest period.)

LIBOR Rate =	London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
	(1.00 - Reserve Percentage)

(i)

“London Inter-Bank Offered Rate” means, for any applicable interest period, the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as selected by the Bank from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days before the commencement of the interest period, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term equivalent to such interest period. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank. A “London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.

(ii)

“Reserve Percentage” means the total of the maximum reserve percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will include, but not be limited to, marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and other reserve percentages.

(d)

The Borrowers shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate Portion no later than 12:00 noon Philadelphia time on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding the day on which the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate will be set, as specified above. For example, if there are no intervening holidays or weekend days in any of the relevant locations, the request must be made at least three days before the LIBOR Rate takes effect.

(e)	The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR Rate Portion if any of the following described events has occurred and is continuing:

(i)	Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the interest period, of a LIBOR Rate Portion are not available in the London inter-bank market; or

(ii)	the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR Rate Portion.

(f)

Each prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as described below. A “prepayment” is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.

(g)

The prepayment fee shall be in an amount sufficient to compensate the Bank for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of the prepayment, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Portion or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Bank in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of this paragraph, the Bank shall be deemed to have funded each Portion by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market, whether or not such Portion was in fact so funded.

3.	FEES AND EXPENSES

3.1

Fees

 

 

 

(a)

Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay a fee on any difference between the Facility Commitment and the amount of credit it actually uses, determined by the average of the daily amount of credit outstanding during the specified period. The fee will be calculated at 0.25% per year. The calculation of credit outstanding shall include the undrawn amount of letters of credit.

(b)

Waiver Fee. If the Bank, at its discretion, agrees to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers will, at the Bank’s option, pay the Bank a fee for each waiver or amendment in an amount advised by the Bank at the time the Borrowers request the waiver or amendment. Nothing in this paragraph shall imply that the Bank is obligated to agree to any waiver or amendment requested by the Borrowers. The Bank may impose additional requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment.

(c)

Late Fee. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers agree to pay a late fee in an amount not to exceed two percent (2%) of any payment that is more than fifteen (15) days late. The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s rights with respect to the default.

3.2

Expenses

 

3.3	Reimbursement Costs

 

(a)

The Borrowers agree to reimburse the Bank for any expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(b)

The Borrowers agree to reimburse the Bank for the cost of periodic field examinations of any Borrower’s books, records and collateral, and appraisals of the collateral, at such intervals as the Bank may reasonably require. The actions described in this paragraph may be performed by employees of the Bank or by independent appraisers. The Bank reserves the right to conduct field examinations, the cost of which will be borne by the Borrowers. Unless the Borrowers are in default, field examinations will be conducted no more frequently than once per fiscal year.

(b)	Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrowers will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrowers to sign one or more promissory notes.

5.2	Requests for Credit; Equal Access by all Borrowers

 

5.3	Telephone and Telefax Authorization

 

(a)

The Bank may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or repayments or for the designation of optional interest rates and telefax requests for the issuance of letters of credit given, or purported to be given, by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrowers, or any other individual designated by any one of such authorized signers.

(b)	Advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from account number __________ owned by ______________, or such other of any Borrower’s accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrowers.

(c)

The Borrowers will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone or telefax instructions the Bank reasonably believes are made by any individual authorized by the Borrowers to give such instructions. This paragraph will survive this Agreement’s termination, and will benefit the Bank and its officers, employees, and agents.

5.4	Direct Debit (Pre-Billing)

 

 

 

(a)

The Borrowers agree that the Bank will debit deposit account number ____________ owned by ___________, or such other of the Borrowers’ accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrowers (the “Designated Account”) on the date each payment of principal and interest and any fees from the Borrowers becomes due (the “Due Date”).

(b)

Prior to each Due Date, the Bank will mail to the Borrowers a statement of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date (the “Billed Amount”). The bill will be mailed a specified number of calendar days prior to the Due Date, which number of days will be mutually agreed from time to time by the Bank and the Borrowers. The calculations in the bill will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or payments will be made between the date of the billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be no changes in the applicable interest rate.

(c)	The Bank will debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount, regardless of the actual amount due on that date (the “Accrued Amount”). If the Billed Amount debited to the Designated Account differs from the Accrued Amount, the discrepancy will be treated as follows:

(i)	If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy. The Borrowers will not be in default by reason of any such discrepancy.

(ii)	If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the discrepancy.

(d)	The Borrowers will maintain sufficient funds in the Designated Account to cover each debit. If there are insufficient funds in the Designated Account on the date the Bank enters any debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit.

The Bank may bring an action against any Borrower, whether an action is brought against the other Borrower(s).

Each Borrower agrees that it is solely responsible for keeping itself informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrower(s) and of all circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment.

(f)

Each Borrower waives all rights to notices of default or nonperformance by any other Borrower under this Agreement. Each Borrower further waives all rights to notices of the existence or the creation of new indebtedness by any other Borrower and all rights to any other notices to any party liable on any of the credit extended under this Agreement.
