9. THE AGENT. The relationship between the Agent and the Banks shall be
---------
governed as follows:
9.1. APPOINTMENT. Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and
-----------
authorizes PNC Bank, National Association to act as Agent for such
Bank under this Agreement and to execute and deliver or accept on
behalf of each of the Banks the other Loan Documents. Each Bank hereby
irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Term Note by the
acceptance of a Term Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize,
the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other instruments
and agreements referred to herein, and to exercise such powers and to
perform such duties hereunder as are specifically delegated to or
required of the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. PNC Bank, National Association
agrees to act as the Agent on behalf of the bank to the extent
provided in this Agreement.
9.2. DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Agent may perform any of its duties
--------------------
hereunder by or through agents or employees (provided such delegation
--------
does not constitute a relinquishment of its duties as Agent) and,
subject to Sections 9.5 and 10, shall be entitled to engage and pay
for the advice or services of any attorneys, accountants or other
experts concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder and
to rely upon any advice so obtained.
9.3. NATURE OF DUTIES: INDEPENDENT CREDIT INVESTIGATION. The Agent shall
--------------------------------------------------
have no duties or responsibilities except to administer the Loans in
good faith in the same manner it administers the Loans in its capacity
as the Revolving Credit Lender hereunder and except those expressly
set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties obligations, or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or otherwise exist. The duties of the Agent shall
be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have
by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary or trust relationship in
respect of any Bank; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the
Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly
set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the
Agent is not intended to connote and fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable
law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom,
and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting
18
parties. Each Bank expressly acknowledges (i) that the Agent has not
made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the
Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty
by the Agent to any Bank; (ii) that it has made and will continue to
make, without reliance upon the Agent, its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs and its own
appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower in connection with
this Agreement and the making and continuance of the Loans hereunder;
and (iii) except as expressly provided herein, that the Agent shall
have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing
basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other information with
respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making
of any Loan or at any time or times thereafter.
9.4. ACTION IN DISCRETION OF AGENT; INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE BANKS. The Agent
-----------------------------------------------------------
agrees, upon the written request signed by the Required Banks (as
defined in Section 13.4), to take or refrain from taking any action of
the type specified as being within the Agent's rights, powers or
discretion herein, provided that the Agent shall not be required to
--------
take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which
is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable
Law. In the absence of a request by the Required Banks, the Agent
shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to take or not to take
any such action, unless this Agreement specifically requires the
consent of the Required Banks. Any action taken or failure to act
pursuant to such instructions or discretion shall be binding on the
Banks, subject to Section 9.5. Subject to the provisions of Section
9.5, no Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against the
Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting
(except where such action or inaction constitutes gross negligence or
willful misconduct by the Agent) hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Banks, or in the absence of such
instructions, in the absolute discretion of the Agent.
9.5. EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Neither the Agent
------------------------------------------------
nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or
Affiliates shall (a) be liable to any Bank for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith
including pursuant to any Loan Document, unless caused by its or their
own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in any
manner to any of the Banks for the effectiveness, enforceability,
genuineness, validity or the due execution of this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents or for any recital, representation, warranty,
document, certificate, report or statement herein or made or furnished
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, or (c) be under any obligation to any of the Banks to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of
the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on the part of
the Borrower, or the financial condition of the Borrower, or the
existence or possible existence of any
19
Event of Default. No claim may be made by the Borrower, any Bank,
the Agent or any of their respective Subsidiaries against the
Agent, any Bank or any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates, or any of them, for
any special, indirect or consequential damages or, to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, for any punitive damages in respect of
any claim or cause of action (whether based on contract, tort,
statutory liability,or any other ground) based on, arising out of
or related to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
hereby or any act, omission or event occurring in connection
therewith, including the negotiation, documentation,
administration or collection of the Loans, and the Borrower (for
itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), the Agent and
each Bank hereby waive, release and agree never to xxx upon any
claim for any such damages, whether such claim now exists or
hereafter arises and whether or not it is now known or suspected
to exist in its favor. Each Bank agrees that, except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to
the Agent hereunder, copies of which notices, reports and
documents shall be provided by the Agent to the Banks, the Agent
and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys
or Affiliates shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning
the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower which
may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates.
9.6. REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT BY BANKS. Each Bank
---------------------------------------------------
agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of
the Borrower to do so) in the same proportion that such Bank's
portion of the Term Loan bears to the Loan (its "RATABLE SHARE")
from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages,penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements, including attorneys' fees and disbursements
(including the allocated costs of staff counsel), and costs of
appraisers and environmental consultants, of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating
to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or
thereunder, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion
--------
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (a)
if the same results from the Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, or (b) if such Bank was not given notice of the
subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense
thereof, at its expense (except that such Bank shall remain
liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result
in a loss to the Bank, or (c)if the same results from a
compromise and settlement agreement entered into without the
consent of such Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In addition, each Bank agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse
the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by
20
the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrower to
do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due and
payable by the Borrower to the Agent in connection with the Agent's
periodic audit of the Borrower's books, records and business
properties.
9.7. RELIANCE BY AGENT. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
-----------------
writing, telegram, telex or teletype message, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or other
document or conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of
counsel and other professional advisers selected by the Agent. The
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action.
9.8. NOTICE OF DEFAULT. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
-----------------
or notice of the occurrence or likelihood of occurrence of any Event
of Default unless the Agent has received written notice from a Bank
or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default."
9.9. NOTICES. The Agent shall promptly send to each Bank a copy of all
-------
notices received from the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents promptly upon receipt
thereof. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other
Banks of each change in the Prime Rate and the effective date
thereof.
9.10. BANKS IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES. With respect to the Loans made
------------------------------------
by it, and any other rights and powers given to it as a Bank
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall
have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term
"Banks" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the
Agent in its individual capacity. Each of the Banks and their
respective Affiliates may, upon prior written notice to the Agent
and the other Banks, without liability to account, except as
prohibited herein, make loans to, accept deposits from, discount
drafts for, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage
in any kind of banking or trust business with, the Borrower and its
Affiliates, in the case of the Agent, as though it were not acting
as Agent hereunder and in the case of each Bank, as though such Bank
were not a Bank hereunder. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to
such activities, the Agent or its Affiliates may (i) receive
information regarding the Borrower (including information that may
be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower)
and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to
provide
21
such information to them, and (ii) accept fees and other
consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the
Banks.
9.11. HOLDERS OF NOTES. The Agent may deem and treat any payee of any Term
----------------
Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until
written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any person
or entity who at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent is the holder of any Term Note shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or
assignee of such Term Note or of any Term Note or Term Notes issued
in exchange therefor.
9.12. EQUALIZATION OF BANKS. The Banks agree among themselves that, with
---------------------
respect to all amounts received by any Bank for application on any
Obligation hereunder or under any Term Note, whether received by
voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of
the right of set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim or by any
other non-pro rata source, equitable adjustment will be made in the
manner stated in the following sentence so that, in effect, all such
excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Banks and such
holders in proportion to their interests in payments under the Term
Notes. The Banks receiving any such amount shall purchase for cash
from each of the other Banks an interest in such Bank's Loans in such
amount as shall result in a ratable participation by the Banks in the
aggregate unpaid amount under the Term Notes, provided that if all or
--------
any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the
Bank making such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with
interest or other amounts, if any, required by law (including court
order) to be paid by the Bank making such purchase.
9.13. SUCCESSOR AGENT. The Agent may resign as Agent by giving not less
---------------
than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Borrower. If the
Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Banks
shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks,
subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be
reasonably withheld (nor shall any such consent be required if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), or (b) if a
successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the
thirty (30) day period following the Agent's notice to the Banks of
its resignation, then the Agent shall appoint, with the consent of
the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, a
successor agent who shall serve as Agent until such time as the Banks
appoint and the Borrower consent to the appointment of a successor
agent. Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b)
above, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and
duties of the Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor
agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights,
powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated without any other
22
or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the
parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of any Agent
hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9.13 shall inure to the
benefit of such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by
reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability
for any actions taken or not taken by it while it was an Agent under
this Agreement.
9.14. CALCULATIONS. In the absence of gross negligence or willful
------------
misconduct, the Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing
the amount payable to any Bank whether in respect of the Loans, fees
or any other amounts due to the Banks under this Agreement. In the
event an error in computing any amount payable to any Bank is made,
the Agent, the Borrower and each affected Bank shall, forthwith upon
discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be required
to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be
calculated at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. For purposes of any
such calculation under this Section 9.14, the "FEDERAL FUNDS
EFFECTIVE RATE" for any day shall mean the rate per annum announced
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor) on such
day as being the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal
funds transactions arranged by federal funds brokers on the previous
trading day; provided, if such Federal Reserve Bank (or its
--------
successor) does not announce such rate on any day, the "Federal Funds
Effective Rate" for such day shall be the Federal Funds Effective
Rate for the last day on which such rate was announced.
9.15. BENEFICIARIES. Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of
-------------
this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks,
and the Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any
of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties
under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the
Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any
obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the
Borrower.
10. REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT BY THE BORROWER. The Borrower
----------------------------------------------------------
agrees to pay or reimburse the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and hold
the Agent and each of the Banks harmless against, (a) all reasonable and
necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in
connection with the (i) preparation, negotiation and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any modifications thereto;
provided, that the foregoing out-of-pocket costs and expenses related to
--------
the initial preparation, reasonable negotiation and delivery of the Loan
Documents shall not exceed $7,000, and (ii) collection of the loan or
instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and foreclosing the
security interest in any of the collateral securing the Loan, whether
through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting
any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (which may include costs
of in-house counsel); and (b) all liabilities,
23
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Bank or the Agent, in its
capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by any Bank or
the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall have no
--------
obligation to the Agent or any Bank hereunder with respect to any such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements arising from the Agent's or any
Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if the Borrower was not
given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the
defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrower shall remain
liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss
to the Borrower), or if the same results from a compromise or settlement
agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Nothing in this Section 10 prevents the Borrower
from obtaining its own counsel and controlling its own defense in any
action.
11. INCREASED COSTS. Within twenty (20) days following written demand, together
---------------
with the written evidence of the justification therefor, the Borrower
