(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”) pursuant to which the Syndicate Lenders have agreed to make
Revolving Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the Borrowers in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35,000,000.
WHEREAS,
the
Borrowers have requested Bank to make additional extensions of credit to the
Borrowers upon the following terms and conditions in order for the Borrowers
to

evidenced by a term note of Borrowers dated as of the date hereof (the “Initial
Term Note”). The proceeds of the Initial Term Loan will be used by the Borrowers
to finance the Pension Contribution.

#2.
The
second credit facility is a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of
$2,550,000 (the “Secondary Term Loan”) which will be loaned in one advance,

Borrowers may not request, and Bank shall not be obligated to make such
Secondary Term Loan after December 31, 2005 (the “Funding Expiration Date”). The
obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Secondary Term Loan, if made, shall
be
evidenced by a term note of the Borrowers dated as of the date such Secondary
Term Loan is made and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Secondary
Term Note”). The Secondary Term Loan, if made, will be used by the Borrowers to
finance a portion of the purchase price of the Hunting Park

that, the Borrowers may not request, and Bank shall not be obligated to make
such Mortgage Term Loan after the Funding Expiration Date. The obligation of
the
Borrowers to repay the Mortgage Term Loan shall be evidenced by a term note
of
the Borrowers dated as of the date such Secondary Term Loan is made and in
the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Mortgage Term Note”). The proceeds of
the Mortgage Term Loan, if made, will be used by the Borrowers to finance a
portion of the purchase price of the Hunting Park Property.

a
“Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”) and renewals, extensions, amendments and
restatements thereof acceptable to Bank, shall set forth the interest rate,
repayment and other provisions, the terms of which are incorporated into this
Agreement by reference.
2. Security. The

September

FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, and
intending to be legally bound, Undersigned, as defined below, promises to
pay
Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, a Pennsylvania state chartered bank (“Bank”) or
its order at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000,
the sum of Five Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,300,000), with
interest on the outstanding balance from the date of this Note (“Note”)
at the
rate(s) (“Contractual
Rate(s)”)
specified herein, all as provided below. This Note is issued in connection
with
a Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Loan Agreement”) between
Undersigned and Bank, and the other agreements and documents executed in
connection therewith or referred to therein, the terms of which are incorporated
herein by reference (as amended, modified or renewed from time to time,
collectively the “Credit
Documents”).
Capitalized Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in
the Loan Agreement.
So
long
as Bank is the holder hereof, Bank’s books and records shall be presumed, except
in the case of manifest error, to accurately evidence at all times all amounts
outstanding under this Note and the date and amount of each advance and payment
made pursuant hereto.
The
prompt and faithful performance of all of Undersigned’s obligations hereunder,
including without limitation time of payment, is of the essence of this
Note.
Undersigned
hereby grants to Bank a security interest in, lien upon, and right of setoff
against, all deposit accounts, credits, securities, moneys, or other property
of
Undersigned which may at any time be in the possession of, delivered to,
or owed
by Bank, including any proceeds or returned or unearned premiums of insurance,
and the proceeds of all the foregoing property.
1. Interest
Rate. The
amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at the rate or rates
set
forth below as selected by Undersigned (each, a “Rate
Option”):
(i) Prime
Rate Option.
A rate
per annum equal to the (A) the Prime Rate plus
(B) the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to
in the Loan Agreement) for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
For purposes hereof, the term “Prime
Rate”
means a
per annum rate of interest, calculated on a 365 or 366 day, as the case may
be,
basis but charged on the actual number of days elapsed, equal to the rate
of
interest announced from time to time by Bank as its Prime Rate which rate
is not
necessarily the lowest interest rate charged by the Bank for loans, such
Prime
Rate to change from time to time as of the effective date of each change
in the
Prime Rate. If and when the Prime Rate changes, the rate of interest with
respect to any advance to which the Prime Rate Option applies will change
automatically without notice to Undersigned, effective on the date of any
such
change. There are no required minimum interest periods for advances bearing
interest under the Prime Rate Option.
(ii) LIBOR
Rate Option.
A
rate
per annum equal to the sum of (A) the LIBOR Rate plus
(B) the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) plus
(C) ten (10) basis points (0.10%). Such rate per annum shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days
elapsed.
1
For
purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
“Business
Day”
shall
mean any day which is neither a Saturday or Sunday nor a legal holiday on
which

“London
Banking Day”
means
a
day on which dealings in US dollar deposits are transacted in the London
interbank market.
If
Bank
shall have determined in its reasonable discretion that (a) US dollar deposits
in the relevant amount and for the relevant period are not available to Bank
in
the London interbank market; (b) by reason of circumstances affecting Bank
in
the London interbank, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR
Rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Rate Loans of any duration, or (c) LIBOR
no
longer adequately reflects Bank’s cost of funding loans, then, upon notice from
Bank to Undersigned, the obligations of Bank hereunder to make or continue
any
loans as, or to convert any loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans of such duration
shall
forthwith be suspended until Bank shall notify Undersigned that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Thereafter, until

notifies Undersigned that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension
no
longer exist, (a) the availability of the LIBOR Rate Option shall be suspended,
and (b) the interest rate for all advances then bearing interest under the

of
law) makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority
asserts that it is unlawful, for Bank to make, continue or maintain any LIBOR
Rate Loan as, or to convert any loan into, a LIBOR Rate Loan of a certain
duration, the obligations of Bank to make, continue, maintain or convert
into
any such LIBOR Rate Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended
until Bank shall notify Undersigned that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall
3
automatically
convert to the Prime Rate Option at the end of the then current Interest
Periods
with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or
assertion.
If
any
law, regulation, order, decree or guideline or interpretation or application
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof or compliance by Bank with any request or directive
of
any governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall
either
impose, modify or deem applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement
against assets (funded or contingent) of, or credits or commitments to extend
credit extended by Bank and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including
loss of margin) upon Bank with respect to the Credit Documents, this Note,
or
the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the loans (or, in the case
of
capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the
rate
of return on Bank’s capital, taking into account Bank’s policies with regard to
capital adequacy) by an amount which Bank deems to be material, Bank shall
from
time to time notify Undersigned of the amount determined in good faith by
Bank
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) to be necessary
to compensate Bank for such increase, reduction or imposition. Such amount
shall
be due and payable by Undersigned to Bank ten (10) business days after such
notice is given.
2. Default
Rate; Late Charge.
Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined below), at Bank’s option,
interest shall accrue at a rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum above
the
Contractual Rate(s) specified (the “Default Rate”) until the earlier of (a) the
date that such Event of Default has been cured, (b) until and including the
date
of maturity hereof. After maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
at
Bank’s option,
interest shall accrue at the Default Rate until all sums due hereunder are
paid.
Interest shall continue to accrue after the entry of judgment by confession
or
otherwise at the Default Rate until all sums due hereunder and/or under the
judgment are paid.
If
any
payment (including without limitation any regularly scheduled payment, balloon
payment and final payment) is not paid within 15 days after it is due,
Undersigned will pay a late charge equal to 1% of the unpaid portion of the
payment due, regardless of whether the payment due consists of principal
and
interest, principal only or interest only:
Such
late
charge shall be in addition to any increase made to the Contractual Rate(s)
applicable to the outstanding balance hereof as a result of maturity of this
Note or otherwise, as well as in addition to any other applicable fees, charges
and costs.
3. Payment
of Interest.
Undersigned shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance of
this
Note in arrears: (a) for the portion of advances bearing interest under the
Prime Rate Option, on the last day of each calendar month during the term
hereof
commencing on September 30, 2005, (b) for amounts hereunder bearing
interest under the LIBOR Rate Option, (i) for Interest Periods of one, two
or
three months, on the LIBOR Rate Interest Payment Date for such advance, or
(ii)
for Interest Periods of six months, every three months and (c) for all
advances, at maturity, whether by acceleration of this Note or otherwise,
and
after maturity, on demand until paid in full. All outstanding principal and
accrued interest hereunder shall be due and payable in full on the Initial
Term
Loan Maturity Date.
If
any
payment under this Note is due on a day which is not a business day under
the
laws of the State where Bank’s office indicated above is located, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extended time
shall
be included in the computation of interest. Undersigned hereby authorizes
Bank,
upon prior written notice to Undersigned, to charge any deposit account of
Undersigned at Bank for any payment due. Payments received will be applied
first
to charges, fees and
4
expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), second to any accrued but unpaid interest and
lastly to the unpaid installment of principal in the reverse order of their
scheduled maturity.
4. Payment
of Principal.
Principal
shall be due and payable in fifty-nine (59) consecutive installments of in
the
amount of $29,444.44 each, commencing on September 30, 2005 and continuing
on
the last day of each calendar month thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in
full
on the earliest of (a) September 12, 2010, (b) the Revolver Termination Date
(as
defined in the Credit Agreement) and (c) the date the Bank ceases to be a
Syndicate Lender under the Credit Agreement (such date, the “Initial Term Loan
Maturity Date”).
If
any
payment under this Note is due on a day which is not a business day under
the
laws of the State where Bank’s office indicated above is located, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extended time
shall
be included in the computation of interest. Undersigned hereby authorizes
Bank,
upon prior written notice to Undersigned, to charge any deposit account of
Undersigned at Bank for any payment due. Payments received will be applied
first
to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), second to any accrued
but unpaid interest and lastly to the unpaid installment of principal in
the
reverse order of their scheduled maturity.
5. Interest
Rate Election.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Note, at the end of each interest period
applicable to any amounts hereunder, Undersigned may renew the Rate Option
applicable to such amounts or convert such amounts to a different Rate Option;
provided that,
during
any period in which any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred
and is continuing, any amounts bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option
shall, at Bank’s sole discretion, be converted at the end of the applicable
LIBOR Interest Period to the Prime Rate Option and the LIBOR Rate Option
will
not be available to Undersigned with respect to the conversion or renewal
of any
other amounts until such Event of Default has been cured by Undersigned or
waived by Bank. Undersigned shall notify Bank of each election of a Rate
Option,
each conversion from one Rate Option to another, the amount of the portions
hereunder to be allocated to each Rate Option and where relevant the Interest
Periods therefor. In the case of converting to the LIBOR Rate Option, such
notice shall be given by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) not less than two (2)
nor
more than five (5) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice for an amount
that
is to bear interest under the LIBOR Rate Option, Undersigned shall be deemed
to
have selected a Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no notice of
election, conversion or renewal is timely received by Bank with respect to
any
amount hereunder, Undersigned shall be deemed to have elected the Prime Rate
Option therefor. Any such election shall be promptly confirmed in writing
by
such method as Bank may require.
6. Covenants.
Undersigned covenants and agrees that until all indebtedness evidenced hereby
has been paid in full, Undersigned shall: (a) use the proceeds of the loan
evidenced hereby only for the business purpose(s) specified in the Loan
Agreement; (b) provide, upon request, financial or other information
documentation or certifications to Bank (including balance sheets and income
statements), all in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Bank and
(c) pay, upon demand by Bank, all amounts incurred by Bank in connection
with any action or proceeding taken or commenced by Bank to enforce or collect
this Note, including attorneys’ fees and costs and all costs of legal
proceedings
7. Prepayment.
Undersigned
may prepay, in whole or in part, without penalty, any advance which is accruing
interest under the Prime Rate Option. If Undersigned prepays (whether voluntary,
on default or otherwise) all or any part of any advance which is accruing
interest at the LIBOR Rate Option on other than the last day of the Interest
Period, as applicable, Undersigned shall pay to Bank, in addition to all
other
amounts due under this Note, the Prepayment Fee set forth herein. For LIBOR
Rate
Loans in connection with which Undersigned has or may incur Hedging Obligations,
additional obligations may be
5
associated
with prepayment, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable
Hedging Contracts. Undersigned shall give Bank, no later than 10:00 a.m.,
New
York City time, at least four (4) Business Days notice of any proposed
prepayment, specifying the proposed date of payment and the principal amount
to
be paid. Each partial prepayment shall be in an integral multiple of $10,000
and
accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on such loans and of
all
accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment. Undersigned
acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Rate Loan during
an
Interest Period shall result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses
and/or
liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain
the
extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, all full or
partial prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be accompanied by, and Undersigned
hereby promises to pay, on each date any such loan is prepaid or the date
all
sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise,
in
addition to all other sums then owing, an amount (“Prepayment Fee”) determined
by Bank pursuant to the following formula: (a) the then current rate for
United
States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted
to a
bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the end of the Interest
Period,
as to which prepayment is made, subtracted
from
(b) the
LIBOR Lending Rate plus the applicable margin applicable to the LIBOR Rate
Loan
being prepaid. If the result of this calculation is zero or a negative number,
then there shall be no Prepayment Fee. If the result of this calculation
is a
positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the
amount
of the loan being prepaid. The resulting amount shall be divided by: (i)
360 and
multiplied by: (ii) the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as
to
which the prepayment is being made. Said amount shall be reduced to present
value calculated by using the referenced United States Treasury securities
rate
and the number of days remaining on the Interest Period, as applicable, for
the
loan being prepaid. The resulting amount of these calculations shall be the
Prepayment Fee.
8. Indemnities.
In
addition to the Prepayment Fee, Undersigned agrees to reimburse Bank (without
duplication) for any increase in the cost to Bank, or reduction in the amount
of
any sum receivable by Bank, in respect, or as a result of: (a) any conversion
or
repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans on
a
date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto; (b) any loans not being made as LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with
the
borrowing request thereof; (c) any LIBOR Rate Loans not being continued as,
or
converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the continuation/conversion
notice thereof, or (d) any costs associated with marking to market any Hedging
Obligations that (in the reasonable determination of Bank) are required to
be
terminated as a result of any conversion, repayment or prepayment of the
principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the scheduled
last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
Bank
shall promptly notify Undersigned in writing of the occurrence of any such
event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and
the
additional amount required fully to compensate Bank for such increased cost
or
reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by Undersigned to
Bank
within five days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in
the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Undersigned. Undersigned
understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) Bank does not have
any
obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use
of
LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate
Loan,
(ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such
rate,
and (iii) Undersigned has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair
basis
for calculating such rate, the Prepayment Fee, and other funding losses incurred
by Bank. Undersigned further agrees to pay the Prepayment Fee and other funding
losses, if any, whether or not Bank elects to purchase, sell and/or match
funds.
6
9. Taxes.
All
payments by Undersigned of principal of, and interest on, the LIBOR Rate
Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise
taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any
nature
whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes
and
taxes imposed on or measured by Bank’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded
items being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from
any payment to be made by Undersigned hereunder is required in respect of
any
Taxes directly related to this Note pursuant to any applicable law, rule
or
regulation, then Undersigned will
(a) pay
directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld
or
deducted;
(b) promptly
forward to Bank an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to
Bank
evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(c) pay
to
Bank such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the
net
amount actually received by Bank will equal the full amount Bank would have
received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
Moreover,
if any Taxes are directly asserted against Bank with respect to any payment
received by Bank hereunder, Bank may pay such Taxes and Undersigned will
promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or
expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by Bank after
the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount)
shall
equal the amount Bank would have received had not such Taxes been
asserted.
If
Undersigned fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or fails to remit to Bank the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, Undersigned shall indemnify Bank for any incremental Taxes, interest
or penalties that may become payable by Bank as a result of any such failure.
10. Increased
Costs.
If on or
after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation
or
guideline (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein,
or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation
or
administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank
or
comparable agency:
(a) shall
subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate
Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or shall change the basis
of
taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR
Rate
Loans or any other amounts due under this agreement in respect of its LIBOR
Rate
Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for the introduction
of, or change in the rate of, tax on the overall net income of the Bank or
franchise taxes, imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision
or
taxing authority thereof) under the laws of which Bank is organized or in
which
Bank’s principal executive office is located); or
(b) shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed
by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Bank
or
shall impose on Bank or on the London interbank market any other condition
affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate
Loans;
7
and
the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of making
or
maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or
receivable by Bank under this Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed
by
Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by Bank, Undersigned
shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank
for
such increased cost or reduction.
11. Events
of Default.
The
occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”
hereunder: (a) the
nonpayment of any principal under this Note when due or the nonpayment of
any
interest, other indebtedness or other obligations under this Note within
three
(3) Business Days after the date when due; (b) the
breach by any Obligor (defined as Undersigned and each surety or guarantor
of
any of Undersigned’s liabilities to Bank as well as any person or entity
granting Bank a security interest in property to secure any indebtedness
evidenced hereby) of any covenant or agreement contained in the Credit
Documents, this Note, or in any separate security, guarantee or suretyship
agreement between Bank and any Obligor,
subject to any applicable notices or cure periods therein, the occurrence
of any
default hereunder or under the terms of any such agreement, or the discovery
by
Bank of any materially false or misleading representation made by any Obligor
herein or in any such agreement or in any other information submitted to
Bank by
any Obligor; (c) any
Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit
Agreement; (d) garnishment,
tax assessment, attachment or taking by governmental authority or other creditor
of any property of any Obligor which is in Bank’s possession or which
constitutes security for any indebtedness evidenced hereby; or (e) the
revocation, termination, cancellation, denial of liability, or the attempt
of
any of the foregoing, by any Obligor of any obligation or liability whatsoever
of the Obligor to Bank, including without limitation any security, guarantee
or
suretyship agreement.
12. Acceleration;
Remedies.
Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default: (a) all
amounts due under this Note, including the unpaid balance of principal and
interest hereof, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of
Bank,
without any demand or notice whatsoever; and (b) Bank
may immediately and without demand exercise any of its rights and remedies
granted herein, under applicable law, or which it may otherwise have, against
Undersigned or otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as described
in
Section 7.1(g)(i) or 7.1(g)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, all amounts due
under this Note, including without limitation the unpaid principal and interest
hereof, shall become immediately due and payable, without any demand, notice,
or
further action by Bank whatsoever, and an action therefor shall immediately
accrue.
13. Bank’s
Rights.
Undersigned hereby authorizes Bank, and Bank shall have the continuing right,
at
its sole option and discretion, to: (a) do
anything which Undersigned is required but fails to do hereunder, and in
particular Bank may, if Undersigned fails to do so, obtain and pay any premiums
payable on any policy of insurance required to be obtained or maintained
hereunder; (b) subject
to the terms and conditions of any security documents, if applicable, direct
any
insurer to make payment of any insurance proceeds including any returned
or
unearned premiums, directly to Bank, and apply such moneys to any indebtedness
or other amount evidenced hereby in such order or fashion as Bank may elect;
and
(c) pay
the proceeds of the loans evidenced by this Note to any or all of the
Undersigned individually or jointly, or to such other persons as any of the
Undersigned may direct and (d) add any amounts paid or incurred by Bank
hereunder to the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note
8
14. Definitions;
Miscellaneous Provisions. (a) Undersigned
waives protest of all commercial paper at any time held by Bank on which
Undersigned is in any way liable, notice of nonpayment at maturity of any
and
all accounts, and (except where requested hereby) notice of action taken
by
Bank; and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Bank may do. Bank shall be
entitled to exercise any right notwithstanding any prior exercise, failure
to
exercise or delay in exercising any such right. (b) If
any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable,
no
other provision shall be affected thereby, and this Note shall be construed
as
if the invalid or unenforceable provision had never been a part of it. The

in any
way affect the meaning or construction of any provision hereof. (c) The
rights and privileges of Bank contained in this Note shall inure to the benefit
of its successors and assigns, and the duties of Undersigned shall bind all
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. (d) This

[_______,
2005]
|
FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, and
intending to be legally bound, Undersigned, as defined below, promises to
pay
Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, a Pennsylvania state chartered bank (“Bank”) or
its order at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000,
the sum of Two Million Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,550,000),
with
interest on the outstanding balance from the date of this Note (“Note”)
at the
rate(s) (“Contractual
Rate(s)”)
specified herein, all as provided below. This Note is issued in connection
with
a Loan Agreement dated as of September 13, 2005 (the “Loan
Agreement”)
between
Undersigned and Bank, and the other agreements and documents executed in
connection therewith or referred to therein, the terms of which are incorporated
herein by reference (as amended, modified or renewed from time to time,
collectively the “Credit
Documents”).
Capitalized Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in
the Loan Agreement.
So
long
as Bank is the holder hereof, Bank’s books and records shall be presumed, except
in the case of manifest error, to accurately evidence at all times all amounts
outstanding under this Note and the date and amount of each advance and payment
made pursuant hereto.
The
prompt and faithful performance of all of Undersigned’s obligations hereunder,
including without limitation time of payment, is of the essence of this
Note.
Undersigned
hereby grants to Bank a security interest in, lien upon, and right of setoff
against, all deposit accounts, credits, securities, moneys, or other property
of
Undersigned which may at any time be in the possession of, delivered to,
or owed
by Bank, including any proceeds or returned or unearned premiums of insurance,
and the proceeds of all the foregoing property.
1. Interest
Rate. The
amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at the rate or rates
set
forth below as selected by Undersigned (each, a “Rate
Option”):
(i) Prime
Rate Option.
A rate
per annum equal to the (A) the Prime Rate plus
(B) the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to
in the Loan Agreement) for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
For purposes hereof, the term “Prime
Rate”
means a
per annum rate of interest, calculated on a 365 or 366 day, as the case may
be,
basis but charged on the actual number of days elapsed, equal to the rate
of
interest announced from time to time by Bank as its Prime Rate which rate
is not
necessarily the lowest interest rate charged by the Bank for loans, such
Prime
Rate to change from time to time as of the effective date of each change
in the
Prime Rate. If and when the Prime Rate changes, the rate of interest with
respect to any advance to which the Prime Rate Option applies will change
automatically without notice to Undersigned, effective on the date of any
such
change. There are no required minimum interest periods for advances bearing
interest under the Prime Rate Option.
(ii) LIBOR
Rate Option.
A
rate
per annum equal to the sum of (A) the LIBOR Rate plus
(B) the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) plus
(C) ten (10) basis points (0.10%). Such rate per annum shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days
elapsed.

“London

means
a
day on which dealings in US dollar deposits are transacted in the London
interbank market.
If
Bank
shall have determined in its reasonable discretion that (a) US dollar deposits
in the relevant amount and for the relevant period are not available to Bank
in
the London interbank market; (b) by reason of circumstances affecting Bank
in
the London interbank, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR
Rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Rate Loans of any duration, or (c) LIBOR
no
longer adequately reflects Bank’s cost of funding loans, then, upon notice from
Bank to Undersigned, the obligations of Bank hereunder to make or continue

law) makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority
asserts that it is unlawful, for Bank to make, continue or maintain any LIBOR

duration, the obligations of Bank to make, continue, maintain or convert
into
any such LIBOR Rate Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended
until Bank shall notify Undersigned that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall
3
automatically
convert to the Prime Rate Option at the end of the then current Interest
Periods
with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or
assertion.
If
any
law, regulation, order, decree or guideline or interpretation or application
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof or compliance by Bank with any request or directive
of
any governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall
either
impose, modify or deem applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement
against assets (funded or contingent) of, or credits or commitments to extend
credit extended by Bank and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including
loss of margin) upon Bank with respect to the Credit Documents, this Note,
or
the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the loans (or, in the case
of
capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the
rate
of return on Bank’s capital, taking into account Bank’s policies with regard to
capital adequacy) by an amount which Bank deems to be material, Bank shall
from
time to time notify Undersigned of the amount determined in good faith by
Bank
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) to be necessary
to compensate Bank for such increase, reduction or imposition. Such amount
shall
be due and payable by Undersigned to Bank ten (10) business days after such
notice is given.
2. Default
Rate; Late Charge.
Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined below), at Bank’s option,
interest shall accrue at a rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum above
the
Contractual Rate(s) specified (the “Default Rate”) until the earlier of (a) the
date that such Event of Default has been cured, (b) until and including the
date
of maturity hereof. After maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
at
Bank’s option,
interest shall accrue at the Default Rate until all sums due hereunder are
paid.
Interest shall continue to accrue after the entry of judgment by confession
or
otherwise at the Default Rate until all sums due hereunder and/or under the
judgment are paid.
If
any
payment (including without limitation any regularly scheduled payment, balloon
payment and final payment) is not paid within 15 days after it is due,
Undersigned will pay a late charge equal to 1% of the unpaid portion of the
payment due, regardless of whether the payment due consists of principal
and
interest, principal only or interest only:
Such
late
charge shall be in addition to any increase made to the Contractual Rate(s)
applicable to the outstanding balance hereof as a result of maturity of this
Note or otherwise, as well as in addition to any other applicable fees, charges
and costs.
3. Payment
of Interest.
Undersigned shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance of
this
Note in arrears: (a) for the portion of advances bearing interest under the
Prime Rate Option, on the last day of each calendar month during the term
hereof
commencing on [________,
2005],
(b) for amounts hereunder bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option, (i)
for Interest Periods of one, two or three months, on the LIBOR Rate Interest
Payment Date for such advance, or (ii) for Interest Periods of six months,
every
three months and (c) for all advances, at maturity, whether by acceleration
of this Note or otherwise, and after maturity, on demand until paid in full.
All
outstanding principal and accrued interest hereunder shall be due and payable
in
full on the Secondary Term Loan Maturity Date.
If
any
payment under this Note is due on a day which is not a business day under
the
laws of the State where Bank’s office indicated above is located, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extended time
shall
be included in the computation of interest. Undersigned hereby authorizes
Bank,
upon prior written notice to Undersigned to charge any deposit account of
Undersigned at Bank for any payment due. Payments received will be applied
first
to charges, fees and
4
expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), second to any accrued but unpaid interest and
lastly to the unpaid installment of principal in the reverse order of their
scheduled maturity.
4. Payment
of Principal.
Principal
shall be due and payable in fifty-nine (59) consecutive installments of in
the
amount of $14,166.66 each, commencing on [________,
2005] and
continuing on the last day of each calendar month thereafter. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due
and
payable in full on the earliest of (a) [_______],
2010,
(b) the Revolver Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and
(c)
the date Bank ceases to be a Syndicate Lender (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) under the Credit Agreement (such date, the “Secondary Term Loan
Maturity Date”).
If
any
payment under this Note is due on a day which is not a business day under
the
laws of the State where Bank’s office indicated above is located, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extended time
shall
be included in the computation of interest. Undersigned hereby authorizes
Bank,
upon prior written notice to Undersigned, to charge any deposit account of
Undersigned at Bank for any payment due. Payments received will be applied
first
to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), second to any accrued
but unpaid interest and lastly to the unpaid installment of principal in
the
reverse order of their scheduled maturity.
5. Interest
Rate Election.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Note, at the end of each interest period
applicable to any amounts hereunder, Undersigned may renew the Rate Option
applicable to such amounts or convert such amounts to a different Rate Option;
provided that,
during
any period in which any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred
and is continuing, any amounts bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option
shall, at Bank’s sole discretion, be converted at the end of the applicable
LIBOR Interest Period to the Prime Rate Option and the LIBOR Rate Option
will
not be available to Undersigned with respect to the conversion or renewal
of any
other amounts until such Event of Default has been cured by Undersigned or
waived by Bank. Undersigned shall notify Bank of each election of a Rate
Option,
each conversion from one Rate Option to another, the amount of the portions
hereunder to be allocated to each Rate Option and where relevant the Interest
Periods therefor. In the case of converting to the LIBOR Rate Option, such
notice shall be given by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) not less than two (2)
nor
more than five (5) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice for an amount
that
is to bear interest under the LIBOR Rate Option, Undersigned shall be deemed
to
have selected a Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no notice of
election, conversion or renewal is timely received by Bank with respect to
any
amount hereunder, Undersigned shall be deemed to have elected the Prime Rate
Option therefor. Any such election shall be promptly confirmed in writing
by
such method as Bank may require.
6. Covenants.
Undersigned covenants and agrees that until all indebtedness evidenced hereby
has been paid in full, Undersigned shall: (a) use the proceeds of the loan
evidenced hereby only for the business purpose(s) specified in the Loan
Agreement; (b) provide, upon request, financial or other information,
documentation or certifications to Bank (including balance sheets and income
statements), all in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Bank and
(c) pay, upon demand by Bank, all amounts incurred by Bank in connection
with any action or proceeding taken or commenced by Bank to enforce or collect
this Note, including attorneys’ fees and costs and all costs of legal
proceedings
7. Prepayment.
Undersigned
may prepay, in whole or in part, without penalty, any advance which is accruing
interest under the Prime Rate Option. If Undersigned prepays (whether voluntary,
on default or otherwise) all or any part of any advance which is accruing
interest at the LIBOR Rate Option on other than the last day of the Interest
Period, as applicable, Undersigned shall pay to Bank, in addition to all
5
other
amounts due under this Note, the Prepayment Fee set forth herein. For LIBOR
Rate
Loans in connection with which Undersigned has or may incur Hedging Obligations,
additional obligations may be associated with prepayment, in accordance with
the
terms and conditions of the applicable Hedging Contracts. Undersigned shall
give
Bank, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least four (4) Business
Days notice of any proposed prepayment, specifying the proposed date of payment
and the principal amount to be paid. Each partial prepayment shall be in
an
integral multiple of $10,000 and accompanied by the payment of all charges
outstanding on such loans and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid
to
the date of payment. Undersigned acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration
of
a LIBOR Rate Loan during an Interest Period shall result in Bank incurring
additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult
and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or
liabilities. Therefore, all full or partial prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans
shall be accompanied by, and Undersigned hereby promises to pay, on each
date
any such loan is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due
and
payable, by acceleration or otherwise, in addition to all other sums then
owing,
an amount (“Prepayment Fee”) determined by Bank pursuant to the following
formula: (a) the then current rate for United States Treasury securities
(bills
on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity
date closest to the end of the Interest Period, as to which prepayment is
made,
subtracted
from
(b) the
LIBOR Lending Rate plus the applicable margin applicable to the LIBOR Rate
Loan
being prepaid. If the result of this calculation is zero or a negative number,
then there shall be no Prepayment Fee. If the result of this calculation
is a
positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the
amount
of the loan being prepaid. The resulting amount shall be divided by: (i)
360 and
multiplied by: (ii) the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as
to
which the prepayment is being made. Said amount shall be reduced to present
value calculated by using the referenced United States Treasury securities
rate
and the number of days remaining on the Interest Period, as applicable, for
the
loan being prepaid. The resulting amount of these calculations shall be the
Prepayment Fee.
8. Indemnities.
In
addition to the Prepayment Fee, Undersigned agrees to reimburse Bank (without
duplication) for any increase in the cost to Bank, or reduction in the amount
of
any sum receivable by Bank, in respect, or as a result of: (a) any conversion
or
repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans on
a
date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto; (b) any loans not being made as LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with
the
borrowing request thereof; (c) any LIBOR Rate Loans not being continued as,
or
converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the continuation/conversion
notice thereof, or (d) any costs associated with marking to market any Hedging
Obligations that (in the reasonable determination of Bank) are required to
be
terminated as a result of any conversion, repayment or prepayment of the
principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the scheduled
last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
Bank
shall promptly notify Undersigned in writing of the occurrence of any such
event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and
the
additional amount required fully to compensate Bank for such increased cost
or
reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by Undersigned to
Bank
within five days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in
the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Undersigned. Undersigned
understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) Bank does not have
any
obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use
of
LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate
Loan,
(ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such
rate,
and (iii) Undersigned has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair
basis
for calculating such rate, the Prepayment Fee, and other funding losses incurred
by Bank. Undersigned further agrees to pay the Prepayment Fee and other funding
losses, if any, whether or not Bank elects to purchase, sell and/or match
funds.
6
9. Taxes.
All
payments by Undersigned of principal of, and interest on, the LIBOR Rate
Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise
taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any
nature
whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes
and
taxes imposed on or measured by Bank’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded
items being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from
any payment to be made by Undersigned hereunder is required in respect of
any
Taxes directly related to this Note pursuant to any applicable law, rule
or
regulation, then Undersigned will
(a) pay
directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld
or
deducted;
(b) promptly
forward to Bank an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to
Bank
evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(c) pay
to
Bank such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the
net
amount actually received by Bank will equal the full amount Bank would have
received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
Moreover,
if any Taxes are directly asserted against Bank with respect to any payment
received by Bank hereunder, Bank may pay such Taxes and Undersigned will
promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or
expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by Bank after
the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount)
shall
equal the amount Bank would have received had not such Taxes been
asserted.
If
Undersigned fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or fails to remit to Bank the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, Undersigned shall indemnify Bank for any incremental Taxes, interest
or penalties that may become payable by Bank as a result of any such failure.
10. Increased
Costs.
If on or
after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation
or
guideline (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein,
or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation
or
administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank
or
comparable agency:
(a) shall
subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate
Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or shall change the basis
of
taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR
Rate
Loans or any other amounts due under this agreement in respect of its LIBOR
Rate
Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for the introduction
of, or change in the rate of, tax on the overall net income of the Bank or
franchise taxes, imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision
or
taxing authority thereof) under the laws of which Bank is organized or in
which
Bank’s principal executive office is located); or
(b) shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed
by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Bank
or
shall impose on Bank or on the London interbank market any other condition
affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate
Loans;
7
and
the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of making
or
maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or
receivable by Bank under this Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed
by
Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by Bank, Undersigned
shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank
for
such increased cost or reduction.
11. Events
of Default.
The
occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”
hereunder: (a) the
nonpayment of any principal under this Note when due or the nonpayment of
any
interest, other indebtedness or other obligations under this Note within
three
(3) Business Days after the date when due; (b) the
breach by any Obligor (defined as Undersigned and each surety or guarantor
of
any of Undersigned’s liabilities to Bank as well as any person or entity
granting Bank a security interest in property to secure any indebtedness
evidenced hereby) of any covenant or agreement contained in the Credit
Documents, this Note, or in any separate security, guarantee or suretyship
agreement between Bank and any Obligor,
subject to any applicable notices or cure periods therein, the occurrence
of any
default hereunder or under the terms of any such agreement, or the discovery
by
Bank of any materially false or misleading representation made by any Obligor
herein or in any such agreement or in any other information submitted to
Bank by
any Obligor; (c) any
Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit
Agreement; (d) garnishment,
tax assessment, attachment or taking by governmental authority or other creditor
of any property of any Obligor which is in Bank’s possession or which
constitutes security for any indebtedness evidenced hereby; or (e) the
revocation, termination, cancellation, denial of liability, or the attempt
of
any of the foregoing, by any Obligor of any obligation or liability whatsoever
of the Obligor to Bank, including without limitation any security, guarantee
or
suretyship agreement.
12. Acceleration;
Remedies.
Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default: (a) all
amounts due under this Note, including the unpaid balance of principal and
interest hereof, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of
Bank,
without any demand or notice whatsoever; and (b) Bank
may immediately and without demand exercise any of its rights and remedies
granted herein, under applicable law, or which it may otherwise have, against
Undersigned or otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as described
in
Section 7.1(g)(i) or 7.1(g)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, all amounts due
under this Note, including without limitation the unpaid principal and interest
hereof, shall become immediately due and payable, without any demand, notice,
or
further action by Bank whatsoever, and an action therefor shall immediately
accrue.
13. Bank’s
Rights.
Undersigned hereby authorizes Bank, and Bank shall have the continuing right,
at
its sole option and discretion, to: (a) do
anything which Undersigned is required but fails to do hereunder, and in
particular Bank may, if Undersigned fails to do so, obtain and pay any premiums
payable on any policy of insurance required to be obtained or maintained
hereunder; (b) subject
to the terms and conditions of any security documents, if applicable, direct
any
insurer to make payment of any insurance proceeds including any returned
or
unearned premiums, directly to Bank, and apply such moneys to any indebtedness
or other amount evidenced hereby in such order or fashion as Bank may elect;
and
(c) pay
the proceeds of the loans evidenced by this Note to any or all of the
Undersigned individually or jointly, or to such other persons as any of the
Undersigned may direct and (d) add any amounts paid or incurred by Bank
hereunder to the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note
8
14. Definitions;
Miscellaneous Provisions. (a) Undersigned
waives protest of all commercial paper at any time held by Bank on which
Undersigned is in any way liable, notice of nonpayment at maturity of any
and
all accounts, and (except where requested hereby) notice of action taken
by
Bank; and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Bank may do. Bank shall be
entitled to exercise any right notwithstanding any prior exercise, failure
to
exercise or delay in exercising any such right. (b) If
any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable,
no
other provision shall be affected thereby, and this Note shall be construed
as
if the invalid or unenforceable provision had never been a part of it. The
descriptive headings of this Note are for convenience only and shall not
in any
way affect the meaning or construction of any provision hereof. (c) The
rights and privileges of Bank contained in this Note shall inure to the benefit
of its successors and assigns, and the duties of Undersigned shall bind all
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. (d) This
Note shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (except to the extent that federal law governs). (e)“Undersigned”
refers individually and collectively to all makers of this Note. Undersigned

with
a Loan Agreement dated as of September 13, 2005 (the “Loan Agreement”) between
Undersigned and Bank, and the other agreements and documents executed in
connection therewith or referred to therein, the terms of which are incorporated
herein by reference and is secured by the collateral described therein (as
amended, modified or renewed from time to time, collectively the “Credit
Documents”).
Capitalized Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in
the Loan Agreement.
So
long
as Bank is the holder hereof, Bank’s books and records shall be presumed, except
in the case of manifest error, to accurately evidence at all times all amounts
outstanding under this Note and the date and amount of each advance and payment
made pursuant hereto.
The
prompt and faithful performance of all of Undersigned’s obligations hereunder,
including without limitation time of payment, is of the essence of this
Note.
Undersigned
hereby grants to Bank a security interest in, lien upon, and right of setoff
against, all deposit accounts, credits, securities, moneys, or other property
of
Undersigned which may at any time be in the possession of, delivered to,
or owed
by Bank, including any proceeds or returned or unearned premiums of insurance,
and the proceeds of all the foregoing property.
1. Interest
Rate. The
amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at the rate or rates
set
forth below as selected by Undersigned (each, a “Rate
Option”):
(i) Prime
Rate Option.
A rate
per annum equal to the (A) the Prime Rate plus
(B) the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to
in the Loan Agreement) for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
For purposes hereof, the term “Prime
Rate”
means a
per annum rate of interest, calculated on a 365 or 366 day, as the case may
be,
basis but charged on the actual number of days elapsed, equal to the rate
of
interest announced from time to time by Bank as its Prime Rate which rate
is not
necessarily the lowest interest rate charged by the Bank for loans, such
Prime
Rate to change from time to time as of the effective date of each change
in the
Prime Rate. If and when the Prime Rate changes, the rate of interest with
respect to any advance to which the Prime Rate Option applies will change
automatically without notice to Undersigned, effective on the date of any
such
change. There are no required minimum interest periods for advances bearing
interest under the Prime Rate Option.
(ii) LIBOR
Rate Option.
A
rate
per annum equal to the sum of (A) the LIBOR Rate plus
(B) the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) plus
(C) fifteen (15) basis points (0.15%). Such rate per annum shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days
elapsed.

approximately equal or comparable to such Interest Period.
“London
Banking Day”
means
a
day on which dealings in US dollar deposits are transacted in the London
interbank market.
If
Bank
shall have determined in its reasonable discretion that (a) US dollar deposits
in the relevant amount and for the relevant period are not available to Bank
in
the London interbank market; (b) by reason of circumstances affecting Bank
in
the London interbank, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR
Rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Rate Loans of any duration, or (c) LIBOR
no
longer adequately reflects Bank’s cost of funding loans, then, upon notice from
Bank to Undersigned, the obligations of Bank hereunder to make or continue
any
loans as, or to convert any loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans of such duration

shall, upon notice thereof to Undersigned be conclusive and binding on
Undersigned) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation

of
law) makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority
asserts that it is unlawful, for Bank to make, continue or maintain any LIBOR

suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall
3
automatically

Periods
with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or
assertion.
If
any
law, regulation, order, decree or guideline or interpretation or application
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof or compliance by Bank with any request or directive
of
any governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall
either
impose, modify or deem applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement
against assets (funded or contingent) of, or credits or commitments to extend
credit extended by Bank and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including
loss of margin) upon Bank with respect to the Credit Documents, this Note,
or
the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the loans (or, in the case
of
capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the
rate
of return on Bank’s capital, taking into account Bank’s policies with regard to
capital adequacy) by an amount which Bank deems to be material, Bank shall
from
time to time notify Undersigned of the amount determined in good faith by
Bank
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) to be necessary
to compensate Bank for such increase, reduction or imposition. Such amount
shall
be due and payable by Undersigned to Bank ten (10) business days after such
notice is given.
2. Default
Rate; Late Charge.
Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined below), at Bank’s option,

date that such Event of Default has been cured, (b) until and including the
date
of maturity hereof. After maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
at
Bank’s option,
interest shall accrue at the Default Rate until all sums due hereunder are
paid.
Interest shall continue to accrue after the entry of judgment by confession
or
otherwise at the Default Rate until all sums due hereunder and/or under the
judgment are paid.
If
any
payment (including without limitation any regularly scheduled payment, balloon
payment and final payment) is not paid within 15 days after it is due,
Undersigned will pay a late charge equal to 1% of the unpaid portion of the
payment due, regardless of whether the payment due consists of principal
and
interest, principal only or interest only:
Such
late
charge shall be in addition to any increase made to the Contractual Rate(s)
applicable to the outstanding balance hereof as a result of maturity of this
Note or otherwise, as well as in addition to any other applicable fees, charges
and costs.
3. Payment
of Interest.
Undersigned shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance of
this
Note in arrears: (a) for the portion of advances bearing interest under the
Prime Rate Option, on the last day of each calendar month during the term
hereof
commencing on [___________,
2005],
(b) for amounts hereunder bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option for
Interest Periods of one, two, three or six months, on the LIBOR Rate Interest
Payment Date for such advance and (c) for all advances, at maturity,
whether by acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and after maturity, on
demand
until paid in full. All outstanding principal and accrued interest hereunder
shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
If
any
payment under this Note is due on a day which is not a business day under
the
laws of the State where Bank’s office indicated above is located, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extended time
shall
be included in the computation of interest. Undersigned hereby authorizes
Bank,
upon prior notice to Undersigned, to charge any deposit account of Undersigned
at Bank for any payment due. Payments received will be applied first to charges,
fees and expenses
4
(including
attorneys’ fees), second to any accrued but unpaid interest and lastly to the
unpaid installment of principal in the reverse order of their scheduled
maturity.
4. Payment
of Principal.
Principal
shall be due and payable in one hundred nineteen (119) consecutive installments
of in the amount of $8,958.34 each, commencing on [_________,
2005]
and
continuing on the last day of each calendar month thereafter. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due
and
payable in full on the earliest of (a) [_________,
2015],
(b) the
Revolver Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (c) the
date
the Bank ceases to be a Syndicate Lender under the Credit Agreement (such
date,

payment under this Note is due on a day which is not a business day under
the
laws of the State where Bank’s office indicated above is located, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extended time
shall
be included in the computation of interest. Undersigned hereby authorizes
Bank,
upon prior written notice to Undersigned, to charge any deposit account of
Undersigned at Bank for any payment due. Payments received will be applied
first
to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), second to any accrued
but unpaid interest and lastly to the unpaid installment of principal in
the
reverse order of their scheduled maturity.
5. Interest
Rate Election.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Note, at the end of each interest period
applicable to any amounts hereunder, Undersigned may renew the Rate Option
applicable to such amounts or convert such amounts to a different Rate Option;
provided that,
during
any period in which any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred
and is continuing, any amounts bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option
shall, at Bank’s sole discretion, be converted at the end of the applicable
LIBOR Interest Period to the Prime Rate Option and the LIBOR Rate Option
will
not be available to Undersigned with respect to the conversion or renewal
of any
other amounts until such Event of Default has been cured by Undersigned or
waived by Bank. Undersigned shall notify Bank of each election of a Rate
Option,
each conversion from one Rate Option to another, the amount of the portions
hereunder to be allocated to each Rate Option and where relevant the Interest
Periods therefor. In the case of converting to the LIBOR Rate Option, such
notice shall be given by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) not less than two (2)
nor
more than five (5) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice for an amount
that
is to bear interest under the LIBOR Rate Option, Undersigned shall be deemed
to
have selected a Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no notice of
election, conversion or renewal is timely received by Bank with respect to
any
amount hereunder, Undersigned shall be deemed to have elected the Prime Rate
Option therefor. Any such election shall be promptly confirmed in writing
by
such method as Bank may require.
6. Covenants.
Undersigned covenants and agrees that until all indebtedness evidenced hereby
has been paid in full, Undersigned shall: (a) use the proceeds of the loan
evidenced hereby only for the business purpose(s) specified to Bank at or
prior
to the execution hereof; (b) promptly notify Bank in writing of any change
in
its or their residence, Chief Executive Office, place
of
business or state of incorporation or organization; (c) purchase and maintain
policies of insurance (including flood insurance, if required) to protect
against such risks and casualties, and in such amounts, as shall be required
by
Bank and/or applicable law, which policies shall (1) be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Bank, (2) at Bank's option, designate Bank as
loss
payee and/or as additional insured, and/or contain a lender's loss payable
endorsement, and (3) be (or certificates evidencing same shall be) deposited
with Bank; (d) provide, upon request, financial or other information,
documentation or certifications to Bank (including balance sheets and income
statements), all in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Bank; (e)
pay,
upon demand by Bank, (1) all costs and fees pertaining to the filing of any
financing, continuation or termination statements, mortgages, satisfaction
pieces, judgments and any other type of document which
5
Bank
deems reasonably necessary or desirable to be filed with regard to security
interests which secure the indebtedness evidenced hereby, regardless of whether
such security interests were granted by Undersigned, and (2) all reasonable
and
documented costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with any collateral
securing this Note (including without limitation all advances made by Bank
for
taxes, levies, insurance, repairs to or maintenance of the collateral, appraisal
or valuation of the collateral, and determination and monitoring of flood
hazard
status), regardless of whether such collateral is owned by Undersigned; and
(f)
pay, upon demand by Bank, all amounts incurred by Bank in connection with
any
action or proceeding taken or commenced by Bank to enforce or collect this
Note,
including attorneys' fees and costs and all costs of legal
proceedings
7. Prepayment.
Undersigned
may prepay, in whole or in part, without penalty, any advance which is accruing
interest under the Prime Rate Option. If Undersigned prepays (whether voluntary,
on default or otherwise) all or any part of any advance which is accruing
interest at the LIBOR Rate Option on other than the last day of the Interest
Period, as applicable, Undersigned shall pay to Bank, in addition to all
other
amounts due under this Note, the Prepayment Fee set forth herein. For LIBOR
Rate
Loans in connection with which Undersigned has or may incur Hedging Obligations,
additional obligations may be associated with prepayment, in accordance with
the
terms and conditions of the applicable Hedging Contracts. Undersigned shall
give
Bank, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least four (4) Business
Days notice of any proposed prepayment, specifying the proposed date of payment
and the principal amount to be paid. Each partial prepayment shall be in
an
integral multiple of $10,000 and accompanied by the payment of all charges
outstanding on such loans and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid
to
the date of payment. Undersigned acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration
of
a LIBOR Rate Loan during an Interest Period shall result in Bank incurring
additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult
and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or
liabilities. Therefore, all full or partial prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans
shall be accompanied by, and Undersigned hereby promises to pay, on each
date
any such loan is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due
and
payable, by acceleration or otherwise, in addition to all other sums then
owing,
an amount (“Prepayment
Fee”)
determined by Bank pursuant to the following formula: (a) the then current
rate
for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall
be
converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the end of
the
Interest Period, as to which prepayment is made, subtracted
from
(b) the
LIBOR Lending Rate plus the applicable margin applicable to the LIBOR Rate
Loan
being prepaid. If the result of this calculation is zero or a negative number,
then there shall be no Prepayment Fee. If the result of this calculation
is a
positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the
amount
of the loan being prepaid. The resulting amount shall be divided by: (i)
360 and
multiplied by: (ii) the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as
to
which the prepayment is being made. Said amount shall be reduced to present
value calculated by using the referenced United States Treasury securities
rate
and the number of days remaining on the Interest Period, as applicable, for
the
loan being prepaid. The resulting amount of these calculations shall be the
Prepayment Fee.
8. Indemnities.
In
addition to the Prepayment Fee, Undersigned agrees to reimburse Bank (without
duplication) for any increase in the cost to Bank, or reduction in the amount
of
any sum receivable by Bank, in respect, or as a result of: (a) any conversion
or
repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans on
a
date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto; (b) any loans not being made as LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with
the
borrowing request thereof; (c) any LIBOR Rate Loans not being continued as,
or
converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the continuation/conversion
notice thereof, or (d) any costs associated with marking to market any Hedging
Obligations that (in the reasonable determination of Bank) are required to
be
terminated as a result of any conversion, repayment or prepayment of the
principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the scheduled
last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
6
Bank
shall promptly notify Undersigned in writing of the occurrence of any such
event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and
the
additional amount required fully to compensate Bank for such increased cost
or
reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by Undersigned to
Bank
within five days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in
the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Undersigned. Undersigned
understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) Bank does not have
any
obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use
of
LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate
Loan,
(ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such
rate,
and (iii) Undersigned has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair
basis
for calculating such rate, the Prepayment Fee, and other funding losses incurred
by Bank. Undersigned further agrees to pay the Prepayment Fee and other funding
losses, if any, whether or not Bank elects to purchase, sell and/or match
funds.
9. Taxes.
All
payments by Undersigned of principal of, and interest on, the LIBOR Rate
Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise
taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any
nature
whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes
and
taxes imposed on or measured by Bank’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded
items being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from
any payment to be made by Undersigned hereunder is required in respect of
any
Taxes directly relating to this Note pursuant to any applicable law, rule
or
regulation, then Undersigned will
(a) pay
directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld
or
deducted;
(b) promptly
forward to Bank an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to
Bank
evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(c) pay
to
Bank such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the
net
amount actually received by Bank will equal the full amount Bank would have
received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
Moreover,
if any Taxes are directly asserted against Bank with respect to any payment
received by Bank hereunder, Bank may pay such Taxes and Undersigned will
promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or
expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by Bank after
the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount)
shall
equal the amount Bank would have received had not such Taxes been
asserted.
If
Undersigned fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or fails to remit to Bank the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, Undersigned shall indemnify Bank for any incremental Taxes, interest
or penalties that may become payable by Bank as a result of any such failure.
10. Increased
Costs.
If on or
after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation
or
guideline (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein,
or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation
or
administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank
or
comparable agency:
7
(a) shall
subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate
Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or shall change the basis
of
taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR
Rate
Loans or any other amounts due under this agreement in respect of its LIBOR
Rate
Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for the introduction
of, or change in the rate of, tax on the overall net income of the Bank or
franchise taxes, imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision
or
taxing authority thereof) under the laws of which Bank is organized or in
which
Bank’s principal executive office is located); or
(b) shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed
by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Bank
or
shall impose on Bank or on the London interbank market any other condition
affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate
Loans;
and
the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of making
or
maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or
receivable by Bank under this Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed
by
Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by Bank, Undersigned
shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank
for
such increased cost or reduction.
11. Events
of Default.
The
occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”
hereunder: (a) the
nonpayment of any principal under this Note when due or the nonpayment of
any
interest, other indebtedness or other obligations under this Note within
three
(3) Business Days after the date when due; (b) the
breach by any Obligor (defined as Undersigned and each surety or guarantor
of
any of Undersigned’s liabilities to Bank as well as any person or entity
granting Bank a security interest in property to secure any indebtedness
evidenced hereby) of any covenant or agreement contained in the Credit
Documents, this Note, or in any separate security, guarantee or suretyship
agreement between Bank and any Obligor,
subject to any applicable notices or cure periods therein, the occurrence
of any
default hereunder or under the terms of such agreement, or the discovery
by Bank
of any materially false or misleading representation made by any Obligor
herein
or in any such agreement or in any other information submitted to Bank by
any
Obligor; (c) any
Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit
Agreement; (d) material
default by any Obligor under the terms of any lease of or mortgage on the
premises where any property securing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note
is
located; (e)garnishment,
tax assessment, attachment or taking by governmental authority or other creditor
of any property of any Obligor which is in Bank’s possession or which
constitutes security for any indebtedness evidenced hereby; or (f) the
revocation, termination, cancellation, denial of liability, or the attempt
of
any of the foregoing, by any Obligor of any obligation or liability whatsoever
of the Obligor to Bank, including without limitation any security, guarantee
or
suretyship agreement.
12. Acceleration;
Remedies.

occurrence of any Event of Default: (a) all
amounts due under this Note, including the unpaid balance of principal and
interest hereof, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of
Bank,
without any demand or notice whatsoever; and (b) Bank
may immediately and without demand exercise any of its rights and remedies
granted herein, under applicable law, or which it may otherwise have, against
Undersigned or otherwise. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as described
in
Section 7.1(g)(i) or 7.1(g)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, all amounts due
under this Note, including without limitation the unpaid principal and interest
hereof, shall become immediately due and payable, without any demand, notice,
or
further action by Bank whatsoever, and an action therefor shall immediately

Note;
NOW,
THEREFORE,
to
secure the payment of all sums due or which may become due under said Note
and
all other obligations (including Hedge Obligations (as defined in the Note)),
debts, dues, instruments, liabilities, advances, judgments, damages, losses,
claims, contracts and choses in action, of whatever nature and however arising,

The

and as amended from time to time (the “UCC”).
To
Have
And To Hold
same
unto the said Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, Forever.
Provided,
However,
that if
the Obligations are paid in full, then the estate hereby granted shall be
discharged.
Mortgagor
represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:
1
First: This
Mortgage is also a security agreement under the UCC. Mortgagor grants, and
Mortgagee shall have and may enforce, a security interest in all those property
interests included in the Mortgaged Property which may be “personal property” to
secure payment and performance of all Obligations. The recordation of this
Mortgage shall also constitute a fixture filing in accordance with the
provisions of the UCC. Mortgagor agrees to cooperate and join, at its expense,
with Mortgagee in taking such steps as are necessary, in Mortgagee’s judgment,
to perfect or continue the perfected status of the security interest granted
hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of
financing statements, amendments thereto, and continuation statements. Mortgagee
may, at any time and from time to time, file financing statements, continuation
statements and amendments thereto that describe the Mortgaged Property and
which
contain any other information required by the UCC for the sufficiency or filing
office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or
amendment, including whether Mortgagor is an organization, the type of
organization and any organization identification number issued to Mortgagor.
Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Mortgagee attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor to
execute, deliver and file such financing statements, continuation statements
and
amendments. Inasmuch as the parties intend that this Mortgage shall, among
other
things, constitute a fixture filing, the parties declare that Mortgagor is
the
debtor with an address as set forth below Mortgagor’s signature, Mortgagee is
the secured party with an address as set forth below, and the collateral shall
constitute all Fixtures attached to the Real Estate.
Second: Mortgagor
will keep and perform all of the covenants and agreements contained
herein.
Third: Without
prior written consent of Mortgagee, which consent may be withheld for any
reason, Mortgagor shall not transfer, encumber or change legal or equitable
title, ownership or control of all or part of the Mortgaged Property by sale,
lease, mortgage, stock transfer, transfer of other ownership interests,
operation of law or in any other manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
It is further understood and agreed that, if Mortgagee consents to any such
transfer, Mortgagee may impose as a condition of such consent any condition
which Mortgagee, in its sole judgment, deems appropriate.
Fourth: Mortgagor
warrants that it owns fee simple title to the Mortgaged Property free and clear
of all liens, claims and encumbrances except as set forth on Exhibit B hereto
(“Permitted Encumbrances”), and that it has full right and authority to grant
this Mortgage and to perform its obligations hereunder. Mortgagor covenants
that
the Mortgaged Property shall continue to be held free and clear of all liens,
claims and encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.
Fifth: Mortgagor
will pay when due all taxes, assessments, levies and other charges on or against
the Mortgaged Property (“Taxes”) which may attain priority over the lien of this
Mortgage. If Mortgagor fails to do so, Mortgagee at its sole option may elect
to
pay such taxes, assessments, levies or other charges. At Mortgagee’s request,
Mortgagor shall deliver written evidence of all such payments to Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor may contest in good faith by
appropriate legal proceedings the imposition or assessment of any such Taxes
as
long as such contest does not impair the lien of this Mortgage and Mortgagor
has
set aside adequate reserves with respect thereto.
Sixth: Mortgagor
shall keep the Mortgaged Property in good repair, excepting only reasonable
wear
and tear. Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee’s authorized representatives to enter
upon the Mortgaged Property at any reasonable time for the purpose of inspecting
the condition of the Mortgaged Property. Without the prior written consent
of
Mortgagee, Mortgagor will not permit removal or demolition of improvements
now
or hereafter erected on the Mortgaged Property, nor will Mortgagor permit waste
of the Mortgaged Property or alteration of improvements now or hereafter erected
on the Mortgaged Property which would adversely affect its market value as
determined by Mortgagee.
Seventh: In
addition to the covenants and agreements made elsewhere in this Mortgage,
Mortgagor further covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
(a) Except
as
previously disclosed by Mortgagor to Mortgagee in writing, the Mortgaged
Property is and will continue to be free of Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter
defined), the presence of which Mortgagor is required to report to any federal,
state or local agency or entity or the presence of which is prohibited by any
Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined);
2
(b) Except
as
previously disclosed by Mortgagor to Mortgagee in writing, the ownership,
operation or use of the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s
tenant(s), as the case may be, does not require as of the date hereof, nor
in
the future will require, the handling, storage, location or discharge of
Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Mortgaged Property, the presence of
which Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s tenant(s) is required to report to any federal,
state or local agency or entity or the presence of which is prohibited by any
Environmental Law;
(c) Mortgagor
and Mortgagor’s tenant(s), if any, at all times have operated and maintained the
Mortgaged Property, and at all times will continue to operate and maintain
the
Mortgaged Property, in material compliance with all Environmental Laws and
Environmental Permits (as hereinafter defined);
(d) Except
as
previously disclosed by Mortgagor to Mortgagee in writing, no pending or
threatened proceeding, suit, investigation, allegation, or inquiry exists
regarding any alleged violation of Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits
with respect to the Mortgaged Property or of any alleged obligation to cleanup
or remediate any Hazardous Substance in, on or under the Mortgaged Property,
and
Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee within five (5) business days in writing upon
becoming aware hereafter of any such proceeding, suit, investigation,
allegation, or inquiry, setting forth the details thereof;
(e) To
the
best of Mortgagor’s knowledge there does not exist, nor will Mortgagor permit to
exist, any event or condition on or with respect to the Mortgaged Property
that
requires or is likely to require Mortgagor under any Environmental Law to pay
or
expend funds by way of fines, judgments, damages, cleanup, remediation or the
like; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee promptly in
writing upon becoming aware hereafter of any such event or condition;
and
(f) Upon
request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall provide (at Mortgagor’s cost)
certifications, documentation, copies of pleadings and other information
regarding the above, all in form and content reasonably satisfactory to
Mortgagee.
Eighth: Mortgagee
and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any time (whether
or
not any Event of Default (as defined herein) has occurred, or if any of the
Obligations is payable on demand, whether or not such demand has been made)
and
at its sole option and discretion, without notice, to enter and visit the
Mortgaged Property for the purposes of observing the Mortgaged Property, taking
and removing soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part
of
the Mortgaged Property, all at the cost of Mortgagor. Mortgagee is under no
duty, however, to visit or observe the Mortgaged Property or to conduct tests,
and any such acts by Mortgagee shall be solely for the purposes of protecting
its security interests and preserving Mortgagee’s rights under the Note and
other documents executed and delivered in connection with the Note. No site
visit, observation, or testing by Mortgagee shall result in a waiver of any
default of Mortgagor or impose any liability on Mortgagee. In no event shall
any
site visit, observation, or testing by Mortgagee be a representation that
Hazardous Substances are or are not present in, on, or under the Mortgaged
Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental
Law. Neither Mortgagor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site
visit, observation, or testing by Mortgagee, nor on any statements,
representations, or any other comments made by Mortgagee to Mortgagor or any
other party with respect to any Hazardous Substances or any other adverse
condition affecting the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee owes no duty of care
to
protect Mortgagor or any other party against, or to inform Mortgagor or any
other party of, any Hazardous Substances or any other adverse condition
affecting the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee shall not be obligated to disclose
to Mortgagor or any other party any report or findings made as a result of,
or
in connection with, any site visit, observation, or testing by
Mortgagee.
Ninth: Except
to
the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee
or its officers, directors, employees and agents, Mortgagor shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Mortgagee, its employees, agents, officers and
directors from and against any and all claims, demands, penalties, fines,
liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever,
including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, all fees of
environmental consultants and laboratory costs, arising out of or in any way
relating to: (a) the release or threatened release, disposal or existence of
any
Hazardous Substances, on or affecting the Mortgaged Property; (b) any personal
injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising
out of or related to such Hazardous Substances; (c) any lawsuit brought or
threatened, settlement reached or governmental order issued relating to
Hazardous Substances with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (d) any violation
or alleged violation of laws, permits, licenses, orders, regulations,
requirements or demands of government authorities or any
3
policies
or requirements of Mortgagee, which are based upon or in any way related to
Hazardous Substances; or (e) the breach of any warranty, representation or
covenant of Mortgagor contained herein or in any related loan document. This
indemnity shall survive repayment of any Obligations or any judicial
foreclosure, foreclosure by power of sale, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or
transfer of the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagor or Mortgagee.
The
liability covered by these indemnity provisions shall include, but not be
limited to, losses sustained by Mortgagee and/or any of its successors and
assigns for: (a) amounts owing as Obligations including diminution in value
of
the Mortgaged Property, (b) amounts arising out of personal injury or death
claims, (c) amounts charged to Mortgagee for any environmental or Hazardous
Substances clean up costs and expenses, liens, or other such charges or
impositions, (d) payment for reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements,
expert witness fees, court costs, environmental tests and design studies, and
(e) any other amounts expended by Mortgagee or its successors and assigns in
connection with the subject matter of Paragraphs Seventh,
Eighth
and
Ninth.
Tenth: Mortgagor
shall keep the Mortgaged Property insured against loss by fire, all other
hazards contemplated by the term “extended coverage”, and such other risks and
hazards as Mortgagee shall reasonably require, in such amounts as Mortgagee
shall require, but never less than the amount required to pay the Obligations
secured hereby. Mortgagor will purchase flood insurance as and to the extent
required by law. The insurer or insurers will be chosen by Mortgagor, subject
to
approval by Mortgagee; and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All
insurance policies shall contain mortgagee and loss payable clauses in favor
of
Mortgagee and shall be cancelable by the insurer only after prior written notice
by the insurer to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall deliver written evidence of all
such insurance to Mortgagee.
If
Mortgagor fails to obtain and keep in force any required insurance or fails
to
pay the premiums on such insurance, Mortgagee at its sole option may elect
to do
so. In the event of loss, Mortgagor shall give prompt notice to the insurer
and
Mortgagee. Mortgagee at its option may elect to make proof of loss if Mortgagor
does not do so promptly, and to take any action it deems necessary to preserve
Mortgagor’s or Mortgagee’s rights under any insurance policy.
Insurance
proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property
or
to reduction of the Obligations, as Mortgagee may determine in its sole but
reasonable discretion. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee and its successors
and assigns as Mortgagor’s attorney-in-fact to endorse Mortgagor’s name to any
draft or check which may be payable to Mortgagor in order to collect such
insurance proceeds; provided so long as no Event or Default exists, if the
insurance proceeds are in an amount sufficient to restore the Mortgaged
Property, as determined by the Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion, and
a
substantial portion of the business activity conducted on the Mortgaged Property
prior to the casualty event can be conducted on the Mortgage Property during
such restoration, as determined by Mortagee in its reasonable discretion,
Mortgagee shall apply such insurance proceeds to such restoration.
Eleventh: Mortgagor
hereby agrees to repay to Mortgagee on demand all sums which Mortgagee has
elected to pay under Paragraphs Fifth
and/or
Tenth,
and any
costs which Mortgagee has incurred in taking actions permitted by Paragraph
Eighth
with
interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the Contractual Rate(s) (as that
term is defined in the Note), if any; and all such sums, as well as any amounts
for which Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify Mortgagee under Paragraph Ninth,
shall, together with interest thereon, until repaid to Mortgagee, be part of
the
Obligations and be secured hereby.
Twelfth: Mortgagor
hereby assigns to Mortgagee all proceeds of any award in connection with any
condemnation or other taking of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof,
or
payment for conveyance in lieu of condemnation.
Thirteenth: Reserved.
Fourteenth: In
order
to further secure Mortgagee in the Event of Default, Mortgagor hereby assigns
and transfers to Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, any and all leases
on
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, now existing or which may hereafter
be made at any time, together with any and all rents, issues and profits arising
from the Mortgaged Property under said leases or otherwise, without obligation
of Mortgagee to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under
such leases, but with full authorization to collect all rents under the leases
4
or
otherwise and to take possession of and rent the Mortgaged Property after an
Event of Default. Mortgagor covenants not to accept the payment of any rent
paid
more than thirty (30) days in advance.
Fifteenth: The
occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”
hereunder: (a) Mortgagor breaches any covenant or agreement contained
herein, in the Loan Agreement or any of the Credit Documents (as defined in
the
Notes) subject to the applicable notices or cure periods; or (b) any
representation or warranty contained herein or in the Credit Documents or
otherwise made by Mortgagor in connection with this Mortgage or any of the
Obligations proves to be false or misleading in any material respect; or (c)
there occurs an Event of Default under the Credit Documents or any agreement
evidencing, securing or otherwise executed and delivered by Mortgagor in
connection with the Obligations or any portion thereof; or (d) there occurs
an
Event of Default for non-payment under the terms of any other mortgage or other
instrument creating a lien on the Mortgaged Property (whether or not such lien
is in favor of Mortgagee); or (e) a holder of any lien encumbering the Mortgaged
Property or any portion thereof (whether such lien is junior or superior to
the
lien of this Mortgage) commences a foreclosure or any other proceeding to
execute on such lien; or (f) Mortgagor fails to pay when due, any amount owing
by Mortgagor pursuant to the terms hereof and such failure continues for 30
days
after written notice thereof by Mortgagee to Mortgagor, then
in
addition to exercising any rights which Mortgagee may have under the terms
of
any agreement securing repayment of, or relating to, any portion of the
Obligations, or otherwise provided by law, Mortgagee may foreclose upon the
Mortgaged Property by appropriate legal proceedings and sell the Mortgaged
Property for the collection of the Obligations, together with costs of suit
and
attorneys’ fees. Mortgagor hereby forever waives and releases all errors in the
said proceedings, waives stay of execution, the right of inquisition and
extension of time of payment, agrees to condemnation of any property levied
upon
by virtue of any such execution, and waives all exemptions from levy and sale
of
any property that now is or hereafter may be exempted by law.
Sixteenth: The
rights and remedies of Mortgagee as provided herein, or in any other agreement
securing repayment of, or relating to, any portion of the Obligations, or
otherwise provided by law, shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly,
concurrently, or successively in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, and may be
exercised as often as necessary; and the failure to exercise any such right
or
remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release of the
same.
Seventeenth: As
used
in this Mortgage: (a) “Environmental Law” means any federal, state or local
environmental law, statute, regulation, rule, ordinance, court or administrative
order or decree, or private agreement or interpretation, now or hereafter in
existence, relating to the use, handling, collection, storage, treatment,
disposal or otherwise of Hazardous Substances, or in any way relating to
pollution or protection of the environment, including but not limited to: the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et
seq.;
the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,

seq.;
the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. 136 et
seq.;
the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et
seq.;
the
Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et
seq.;
all as
amended. (b) “Environmental Permit” means any federal, state or local permit,
license or authorization issued under or in connection with any Environmental

included in the definition of “hazardous wastes”, “hazardous substances”,
“hazardous materials”, “toxic substances”, “hazardous air pollutants”, and
“toxic pollutants”, as those terms are used in any Environmental Law, including
any state or federal law or local ordinance relating to hazardous substances
now
or hereafter in existence, and in any regulations promulgated or may be
promulgated thereunder.
Eighteenth: Mortgagee,
without notice to Mortgagor, may deal with the Obligations and any collateral
security therefor in such manner as Mortgagee may deem advisable and may accept
partial payment for or settle, release, or compromise the Obligations, may
substitute or release any collateral security, and may release and discharge
from liability Mortgagor, all without impairing the estate granted hereby or
the
Obligations of Mortgagor hereunder.
Nineteenth: The
covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein shall bind the heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns of Mortgagor, and the rights
and privileges contained herein shall inure to the successors and assigns of

Twenty-first:
The
formal and essential validity hereof shall be governed in all respects by the
laws of the Commonwealth Pennsylvania. If any provision hereof shall for any
reason be held invalid or unenforceable, no other provision shall be affected
thereby, and this Mortgage shall be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable
provision had never been part of it.
Twenty-second:
If any
amount advanced under the Note was used to purchase the Mortgaged Property,
then
it is intended that this Mortgage be a Purchase Money Mortgage under the
provisions of 42 PA. C.S.A. § 8141.
Twenty-third: FOR
THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY UPON THE
OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT SPECIFIED IN CLAUSES (a) - (f) OF PARAGRAPH FIFTEENTH
HEREOF, MORTGAGOR HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT
OF
RECORD IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE AS ATTORNEY FOR
MORTGAGOR AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR, TO CONFESS
JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AND CONFESS JUDGMENT FOR RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF THE
MORTGAGED PROPERTY AND TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST MORTGAGOR,
AND
ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR IN FAVOR OF MORTGAGEE FOR
RECOVERY BY MORTGAGEE OF POSSESSION THEREOF, FOR WHICH THIS MORTGAGE, OR A
COPY
THEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT, SHALL BE SUFFICIENT WARRANT; AND THEREUPON A
WRIT
OF POSSESSION MAY IMMEDIATELY ISSUE FOR POSSESSION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY,
WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AND WITHOUT ANY STAY OF
EXECUTION. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED IT SHALL
BE
DISCONTINUED, OR POSSESSION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY SHALL REMAIN IN OR BE
RESTORED TO MORTGAGOR, MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT FOR THE SAME OCCURRENCE
OR
ANY OTHER OCCURRENCE TO BRING ONE OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS TO CONFESS JUDGMENT
IN
EJECTMENT AND CONFESS JUDGMENT FOR RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF THE MORTGAGED
PROPERTY. MORTGAGEE MAY BRING AN ACTION TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AND
TO
CONFESS JUDGMENT FOR RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY BEFORE
OR
AFTER THE INSTITUTION OF PROCEEDINGS TO FORECLOSE THIS MORTGAGE OR TO ENFORCE
ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, OR AFTER ENTRY OF JUDGMENT THEREON OR ON ANY OF THE
OBLIGATIONS, OR AFTER A SHERIFF’S SALE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY IN WHICH
MORTGAGEE IS THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER, IT BEING THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTIES
THAT THE AUTHORIZATION TO PURSUE SUCH PROCEEDINGS FOR OBTAINING POSSESSION
IS AN
ESSENTIAL PART OF THE REMEDIES FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS MORTGAGE, AND SHALL
SURVIVE ANY EXECUTION SALE TO MORTGAGEE.
BY
AGREEING THAT MORTGAGEE MAY CONFESS JUDGMENT HEREUNDER MORTGAGOR, FOR ITSELF
AND
ANY OTHER PERSONS OR ENTITIES NOW OR HEREAFTER IN POSSESSION OF ALL OR ANY
PART
OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY, WAIVES THE RIGHT TO NOTICE IN A PRIOR JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING TO DETERMINE THEIR RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO
RAISE ANY DEFENSE, SET OFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER CLAIM AGAINST SUCH ACTION
BY
MORTGAGEE.
Twenty-fourth: THIS
MORTGAGE CONTAINS A POWER OF ATTORNEY COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND IS FOR THE
MORTGAGEE. THIS MORTGAGE IS BEING EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH A LOAN OR OTHER
FINANCIAL TRANSACTION FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES AND NOT PRIMARILY FOR PERSONAL,
FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES. MORTGAGEE, AS AGENT FOR MORTGAGOR UNDER THE POWER
OF ATTORNEY, IS NOT A FIDUCIARY FOR THE MORTGAGOR. MORTGAGEE, IN EXERCISING
ANY
OF ITS RIGHTS OR POWERS PURSUANT TO THE POWER OF ATTORNEY, MAY DO SO FOR THE
SOLE BENEFIT OF MORTGAGEE AND NOT FOR MORTGAGOR. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND
AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 20, PENNSYLVANIA CONSOLIDATED STATUTES,
SECTION 5601 ET SEQ. AS AMENDED (SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING ACT 39 OF 1999) SHALL
NOT BE APPLICABLE TO ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY CONTAINED IN THIS
MORTGAGE.
