One customer accounted for 15%, and another customer accounted for 10% of
net sales for the quarter ended July 27, 1996. For the quarter ended July 29,
1995, there were no customers who accounted for more than 10% of net sales.
5. Environmental Matters
---------------------
During March 1995, the Company received a Record Of Decision (ROD) from the
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), regarding soil
and groundwater contamination at its Owego, New York facility. Based on a
Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RIFS) for apparent on-site
contamination at that facility and a Focused Feasibility Study (FFS), each
prepared by environmental consultants of the Company, the NYSDEC had approved a
remediation program of groundwater withdrawal and treatment and iterative soil
flushing. The cost, based upon the FFS, to implement this remediation is
estimated to be $4.6 million, and is expected to be expended as follows:
$300,000 for capital equipment and $4.3 million for operation and maintenance
costs which will be incurred and expended over the estimated life of the program
of 30 years. NYSDEC has requested that the Company consider taking additional
samples from a wetland area near the Company's Owego facility. Analytical
reports of earlier sediment samples indicated the presence of certain
inorganics. There can be no assurance that the Company and/or other third
parties will not be required to conduct additional investigations and
remediation at that location, the costs of which are currently indeterminable
due

5. Environmental Matters (Continued)
---------------------------------
to the numerous variables described in the second sentence of the fourth
paragraph of this "Environmental Matters" section.
From 1974 to 1980, the Company operated a printed circuit manufacturing
facility in Florida as a lessee of property that is now the subject of a pending
lawsuit ("the Florida Lawsuit") and investigation by the Florida Department of
Environmental Regulation (FDER). On June 9, 1992, the Company entered into a
Cooperating Parties Agreement in which it and Gould, Inc., another prior lessee
of the site, have agreed to fund certain assessment and feasibility study
activities at the site, and an environmental consultant has been retained to
perform such activities. The cost of such activities is not expected to be
material to the Company. In addition to the Cooperating Parties Agreement, Hadco
and others are participating in alternative dispute resolution regarding the
site with an independent mediator. In connection with the mediation, in February
1992 the FDER presented computer-generated estimates of remedial costs, for
activities expected to be spread over a number of years, that ranged from
approximately $3.3 million to $9.7 million. Mediation sessions were conducted in
March 1992 but have been suspended during the ongoing assessment and feasibility
activities. Management believes it is likely that it will participate in
implementing a continuing remedial program for the site, the costs of which are
currently unknown. However, based on information currently known by the Company,
management does not expect these costs to have a material adverse effect on the
Company. Also see the penultimate paragraph of this "Environmental Matters"
section relating to the Company's having been named as a third-party defendant
in the Florida Lawsuit.
The Company is planning the installation of a groundwater extraction system
at its Derry, New Hampshire facility to address certain groundwater
contamination. Because of the uncertainty regarding both the quantity of
contaminants beneath the building at the site and the long-term effectiveness of
the groundwater migration control system the Company proposes to install, it is
not possible to make a reliable estimate of the length of time remedial activity
will have to be performed. However, it is anticipated that the groundwater
extraction system will be operated for at least 30 years. There can be no
assurance that the Company will not be required to conduct additional
investigations and remediation relating to the Derry facility. The total costs
of such groundwater extraction system and of conducting any additional
investigations and remediation relating to the Derry facility are

5. Environmental Matters (Continued)
---------------------------------
not fully determinable due to the numerous variables described in the fourth
paragraph of this "Environmental Matters" section.
The Company accrues estimated costs associated with known environmental
matters, when such costs can be reasonably estimated. The cost estimates
relating to future environmental clean-up are subject to numerous variables, the
effects of which can be difficult to measure, including the stage of the
environmental investigations, the nature of potential remedies, possible joint
and several liability, the magnitude of possible contamination, the difficulty
of determining future liability, the time over which remediation might occur,
and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. The total reserve for
environmental matters currently identified by the Company amounted to $9.9
million and $8.2 million at July 27, 1996 and October 28, 1995, respectively.
The current portion of these costs as of July 27, 1996 and October 28, 1995,
amounted to approximately $900,000, and is included in "Accounts Payable and
Accrued Expenses." The long-term portion of these costs amounted to
approximately $9.0 million and $7.3 million as of July 27, 1996 and October 28,
1995, respectively, and is reported under the caption "Long-term Liabilities."
Based upon its assessment at the current time, management estimates the cost of
ultimate disposition of the above known environmental matters to range from
approximately $7.0 million to $12.0 million, and is expected to be spread over a
number of years. Management believes the ultimate disposition of the above known
environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the
liquidity, capital resources, business or consolidated financial position of the
Company. However, one or more of such environmental matters could have a
significant negative impact on the Company's consolidated financial results for
a particular reporting period.
The Company is one of thirty-three entities which have been named as
potentially responsible parties in a lawsuit pending in the federal district
court of New Hampshire concerning environmental conditions at the Auburn Road,
Londonderry, New Hampshire landfill site. Local, state and federal entities and
certain other parties to the litigation seek contribution for past costs,
totaling approximately $20 million, allegedly incurred to assess and remediate
the Auburn Road site. In April, 1996, the EPA published for comment, and
recommended for approval, a proposal to change the remedy at the Auburn Road
site from active groundwater remediation to future monitoring. Other parties to
the lawsuit also allege that future monitoring will be required. The Company is
contesting liability, but is participating in mediation with twenty-seven other
parties in an effort to resolve the lawsuit.

5. Environmental Matters (Continued)
---------------------------------
Management believes that the ultimate disposition of this lawsuit will not have
a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital resources, business or
consolidated financial position of the Company.
In connection with the "Florida Lawsuit" (as described in the second
paragraph of this "Environmental Matters" section), pending in the Circuit Court
of Broward County, Florida, Hadco and Gould, Inc., another prior lessee of the
site of the printed circuit manufacturing facility in Florida, each was served
with a third-party complaint in June 1995, as third-party defendants in such
pending Florida lawsuit by a party who had previously been named as a defendant
when the Florida Lawsuit was commenced in 1993 by the FDER. The Florida Lawsuit
seeks damages relating to environmental pollution and FDER costs and expenses,
civil penalties, and declaratory and injunctive relief to require the parties to
complete assessment and remediation of soil and groundwater contamination. The
other parties include alleged owners of the property and Fleet Credit
Corporation, a secured lender to a prior lessee of the property.
The future costs in connection with the lawsuits described in the two
immediately preceding paragraphs are currently indeterminable due to such
factors as the unknown timing and extent of any future remedial actions which
may be required, the extent of any liability of the Company and of other
potentially responsible parties, and the financial resources of the other
potentially responsible parties.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
------------------------------------------------
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed below or elsewhere in this quarterly report including, without
limitation, "Environmental Matters," are forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. Any forward-looking statements should be
considered in light of the factors described below under "Factors That May
Affect Future Results." Actual results may vary materially from those projected,
anticipated or indicated in any forward-looking statements. In this quarterly
report, the words "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "future,"
"could," and similar words or expressions (as well as other words or expressions
referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) identify forward looking
statements.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Third Quarter
- -------------
Net sales for the third quarter of 1996 increased 30.2% over the same
period in 1995. The change was due to a 13.8% increase in the volume of
production and shipments, and a shift in product mix to higher layer, higher
density printed circuits, as compared to the third quarter last year. Average
pricing per unit increased 4.7% for the third quarter of 1996 over the third
quarter of 1995. Sales of backplane and other electronic assemblies increased to
19% of the Company's net revenues for the quarter ended July 27, 1996, versus 7%
for the same period last year. The Company believes that excess capacity may
exist in the printed circuit and electronic assembly industries, as well as
fluctuating growth rates in the electronics industry as a whole. Both factors
could have an adverse impact on future orders and pricing.
The gross profit margin decreased from 25.9% in the third quarter of 1995 to
24.3% in the third quarter of 1996. The decrease is a result of higher costs due
to the implementation of new production processes, and the increase in the
volume of shipments for backplane and other electronic assemblies which have
lower gross margins than printed circuit sales.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, as a percent of net
sales, decreased to 9.7% in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to 11.4% in
the third quarter of 1995 due to increased revenue. SG&A expenses increased from
$7.7 million in the third quarter of 1995 to $8.5 million in the third quarter
of 1996, as a result of increased variable costs directly attributable to
increased net sales. Included in SG&A expenses are charges for actual
expenditures and accruals, based on estimates, for environmental matters. During
the third quarter of 1996 and 1995, the Company made, and charged to SG&A
expenses, actual payments of approximately $149,000 and $391,000, respectively,
for
11
<PAGE> 12
environmental matters. In the third quarter of 1996 and 1995, the Company also
accrued and charged to SG&A expenses approximately $451,000 and $689,000,
respectively, as cost estimates relating to known environmental matters. To the
extent and in amounts Hadco believes circumstances warrant, it will continue to
accrue and charge to SG&A expenses cost estimates relating to environmental
matters. Management believes the ultimate disposition of known environmental
matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital
resources, business or consolidated financial position of the Company. However,
one or more of such environmental matters could have a significant negative
impact on the Company's consolidated financial results for a particular
reporting period.
Interest income decreased in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to the
third quarter of 1995 due to lower average cash balances available for
investing.
Interest expense decreased in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to the
third quarter of 1995 due to a decrease in outstanding debt.
Year-to-Date
- ------------
Net sales for the first nine months of 1996 increased 31.5% above the same
period in 1995. The increase is the result of a 14% higher volume of production
and shipments and an increase in the technology level of product mix from the
same period last year. The increase in net sales was affected by a 7.0% increase
in average pricing. Sales of backplanes and other electronic assemblies
increased to 15% of the Company's net revenues for the first nine months of 1996
versus 6% for the same period last year.
The gross profit margin increased from 23.5% to 24.9% from the first nine
months of 1995 to the first nine months of 1996. The increase is a direct result
of higher volume of shipments, an increase in the technology level of product
mix, and an increase in average pricing.
SG&A expenses decreased as a percent of net sales, from 11.5% to 10.2% from
the first nine months of 1995 to the first nine months of 1996. This resulted
from increased revenue. The SG&A expenses increased from $22.2 million for the
first nine months of 1995 to $25.7 million for the first nine months of 1996, as
a result of increased variable costs directly attributable to increased net
sales. Included in SG&A expenses are charges for actual expenditures and
accruals, based on estimates, for environmental matters. During the first nine
months of 1996 and 1995, the Company made, and charged to SG&A expenses, actual
payments of approximately $674,000 and $978,000, respectively, for environmental
matters. In the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, the Company also accrued and
charged to SG&A cost estimates approximately $1,335,000 and $1,706,000,
respectively, as cost estimates relating to know environmental matters.
12
<PAGE> 13
Interest income decreased in the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the
same period in 1995 due to lower yields on investments.
Interest expense decreased in the first nine months of 1996 as compared to
the third quarter of 1995 due to a decrease in outstanding debt.
Income Taxes
- ------------
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company
has provided for income taxes in the third quarter at its estimated annual
effective rate. The Company presently anticipates that the effective annual rate
of income taxes for 1996 will be 39.0%, which is less than the current combined
federal and state statutory rates. This difference is caused by tax advantaged
investment income, the tax benefit of a Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC), and
various state investment tax credits. The effective tax rate for 1996 is based
on current tax laws.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
At July 27, 1996, the Company's working capital was $41.7 million, including
cash, cash equivalents and held-to-maturity securities of $32.6 million, as
compared to working capital of $41.0 million, including cash, cash equivalents
and held-to-maturity securities of $36.5 million, at October 28, 1995.
<TABLE>
On July 10, 1996, the Company executed an unsecured Revolving Credit
Agreement with a bank. The agreement provides for up to $15,000,000 in revolving
credit until June 30, 1997. During this period the Company can designate the
rate of interest at either the Eurodollar Rate plus 60 basis points (0.60%) or
the banks's Base Rate. As of July 27, 1996 no amounts were outstanding under
this line of credit.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
- --------------------------------------
The Company operates in a changing environment that involves a number of
risks, some of which are beyond the Company's control. The following discussion
highlights some of these risks.
Variability of Customer Requirements; Nature and Extent of Customer
Commitments on Orders. The level and timing of orders placed by the Company's
customers vary due to customer attempts to manage inventory, changes in the
customers' manufacturing strategies and variation in demand for customer
products due to, among other things, technological change, introduction of new
products, product life cycles, competitive conditions or general economic
conditions. The Company generally does not obtain long-term purchase orders or
commitments. A certain portion of the Company's backlog may be subject to
cancellation or postponement without significant penalty or without any penalty.
Competition. The domestic market for printed circuits is highly competitive
and fragmented. The Company believes its major competitors are larger
independent producers and captive producers world-wide, which also manufactures
multilayer, high density printed circuits and provide backplane and other
electronic assemblies. During periods of recession in the electronic industry,
and other periods when excess capacity exists, electronic equipment
manufacturers become more price sensitive, which could have a material adverse
impact on pricing. In addition, the Company's competitors may seek orders in the
open market to fill excess capacity, thereby increasing price competition.
Process Technology and Risk of Process Failure. The Company's success
depends in part on its proprietary techniques and manufacturing expertise,
particularly in the area of the multilayer, high density circuit boards. At this
time, the Company has no patents for these proprietary techniques and chooses to
rely on trade secret protection. In addition, the introduction of new
manufacturing processes are subject to failure. The loss of revenue and earnings
to the Company from such a failure could have a material adverse effect on its
results of operations.
Dependence on Electronics Industry. The Company's customers include OEMs and
contract manufacturers of data communications and telecommunications equipment,
instrumentation and industrial equipment, and computers and peripheral business
systems. These industry segments, as well as the electronics industry as a
whole, are subject to rapid technological change and product obsolescence.
Discontinuance or modification of products containing printed circuit boards
manufactured by the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The electronics industry is subject to economic cycles and has experienced and
is likely in the future to experience recessionary periods. Pricing pressures, a
general recession or any other event leading to excess capacity or a

downturn in the electronics industry likely would result in intensified price
competition, reduced gross margins and a decrease in unit volume, which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Environmental Compliance. The Company is subject to a variety of
environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal
of hazardous chemicals used during its manufacturing process. A failure by the
Company to comply with present and future regulations could subject it to future
liabilities or the suspension of production. Such regulations could also
restrict the Company's ability to expand its facilities or could require the
Company to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses to
comply with environmental regulations. The Company may also from time to time be
subject to lawsuits with respect to environmental matters. The extent of the
Company's liability under any such suit is indeterminable and may, in certain
circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Possible Volatility of Market Price of Common Stock. The trading price of
the common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to
variations in quarterly operating results, general conditions in the electronics
industry and other factors. In addition, the stock market is subject to price
and volume fluctuations which affect the market price for many high technology
companies in particular, and which can be unrelated to operating performance.

2. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.
-------------------------
2.1 COMMITMENT TO LEND. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement, the Bank agrees to lend to the Borrower such sums as the
Borrower may request, from the date hereof until but not including the Maturity
Date, PROVIDED that the sum of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans
(after giving effect to all amounts requested) shall not exceed the Commitment.
2.2 REQUESTS FOR LOANS.
(a) The Borrower shall give to the Bank written notice in form and
substance satisfactory to the Bank (or telephonic notice confirmed in
writing in form and substance satisfactory to the
<PAGE> 10
-8-
Bank) of each Loan requested hereunder (a "Loan Request") (i) no later than
10:00 a.m., Boston time, on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Base Rate
Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan and (ii) no less than three (3) LIBOR Business
Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date of any LIBOR Rate Loan. Each such
notice shall specify (A) the principal amount of the Loan requested, (B)
the proposed Drawdown Date of such Loan, (C) the Interest Period for such
Loan and (D) whether such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan, a LIBOR Rate Loan
or a Fixed Rate Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and binding on
the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Loan requested
from the Bank on the proposed Drawdown Date. Each request for a LIBOR Rate
Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000 or an integral
multiple thereof. Each request for a Fixed Rate Loan shall be in a minimum
amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
(b) Notwithstanding the notice requirements set forth in
[Section]2.2(a), Loans may be made from time to time in the following
manner: the Bank may make Loans to the Borrower by entry of credits (i) if
applicable, to the Borrower's controlled disbursement account (the
"Disbursement Account") with the Bank to cover checks or other charges
which the Borrower has drawn or made against such Disbursement Account or
(ii) such other account of the Borrower maintained at the Bank's head
office as the Borrower may designate. The Borrower hereby requests and
authorizes the Bank to make from time to time such Loans by means of
appropriate entries of such credits sufficient to cover checks and other
charges then presented. The Borrower and the Bank may also agree to effect
such other controlled disbursement arrangements as may be mutually
satisfactory. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the making of such
Loans in accordance with this [Section]2.2(b) shall, in each case, be
subject in all respects to provisions of this Agreement as if they were
Loans covered by a Loan Request including, without limitation, the
limitations set forth in [Section]2.1 and the requirement that the
applicable provisions of [Section]7 be satisfied. All actions taken by the
Bank pursuant to the provisions of this [Section]2.2(b) shall be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower.
(c) The obligation of the Borrower to repay to the Bank the principal
of the Loans and interest accrued thereon shall be evidenced by a
promissory note (the "Note") in the maximum aggregate principal amount of
$15,000,000.00 executed and delivered by the Borrower and payable to the
order of the Bank, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank.
<PAGE> 11
-9-
2.3 CONVERSION OPTIONS.
2.3.1 CONVERSION TO DIFFERENT LOAN TYPE. The Borrower may elect from
time to time to convert any outstanding Loan from one Type to another,
PROVIDED that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan
or a Fixed Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, such conversion shall only be
made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; (ii) with
respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan or a Fixed Rate Loan to
a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Bank at least three (3)
LIBOR Business Days' prior written notice of such election, and (iii) no
Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Fixed Rate Loan when any
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. On the date on
which such conversion is being made the Bank shall take such action as is
necessary to transfer such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its
LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. All or any part of outstanding
Loans may be converted as provided herein, PROVIDED that (A) partial
conversions of any Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and (B)
partial conversions of any Loan into a Fixed Rate Loan shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Loan to a LIBOR
Rate Loan or a Fixed Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.
2.3.2 CONTINUATION OF LOAN TYPE. Any Loan may be continued as such
upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by
compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in
[Section]2.3.1; PROVIDED that no LIBOR Rate Loan or Fixed Rate Loan may be
continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the
last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default of which the officers of the
Bank active upon the Borrower's account have actual knowledge. In the event
that the Borrower fails to provide any such notice with respect to the
continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan or Fixed Rate Loan as such, then such
Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day
of the first Interest Period relating thereto.
2.4 INTEREST. So long as no Event of Default is continuing, (i) each Base
Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the
<PAGE> 12
-10-
Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with
respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, (ii) each LIBOR Rate
Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date
thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto
at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the LIBOR Rate, PLUS (B) the LIBOR
Rate Margin, and (iii) each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period
commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Cost of
Funds quoted by the Bank with respect to such Fixed Rate Loan. While an Event of
Default is continuing, amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents shall
bear interest (compounded monthly and payable on demand in respect of overdue
amounts) at a rate per annum which is equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate, and
(ii) three percent (3%) until such amount is paid in full or (as the case may
be) such Event of Default has been cured or waived in writing by the Bank (after
as well as before judgment). Each payment of interest hereunder shall be due and
payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each month and, with respect to
any Fixed Rate Loan and any LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last day of the Interest
Period with respect thereto.
2.5 REPAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the
Bank on the Maturity Date the entire unpaid principal of and interest on all
Loans. The Borrower may elect to prepay the outstanding principal of all or any
part of any Loan, without premium or penalty, provided that the full or partial
prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans or any Fixed Rate
Loans pursuant to this [Section]2.5 may be made only on the last day of the
Interest Period relating thereto (it being understood that no such restriction
shall exist with respect to the prepayment of any Base Rate Loan). The Borrower
shall give the Bank no later than 10:00 a.m. Boston time, at least three (3)
LIBOR Business Days prior written or telephonic notice, of any proposed
prepayment pursuant to this [Section]2.5 of any LIBOR Rate Loan; and on the
date of such prepayment pursuant to this [Section]2.5 of any Base Rate Loan or
any Fixed Rate Loans, in each case specifying the proposed date of such
prepayment and the amount to be prepaid. The Borrower shall be entitled to
reborrow before the Maturity Date such amounts, PROVIDED that no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement. Each repayment or prepayment of principal of
any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of the unpaid interest accrued to such
date on the principal being repaid or prepaid. If at any time the total amount
of all Loans then outstanding shall exceed the Commitment, the Borrower shall
immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Bank for application to the
Loans. The
<PAGE> 13
-11-
Borrower may elect to reduce or terminate the Commitment by a minimum principal
amount of $1,000,000, upon written notice to the Bank given by 10:00 a.m. Boston
time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such reduction or
termination. The Borrower shall not be entitled to reinstate the Commitment
following such reduction or termination. All prepayments of Fixed Rate Loans
which are made on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period with
respect thereto (whether in whole or in part and whether voluntarily or by
acceleration of the maturity thereof by the Bank in accordance with the terms
hereof) shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium in an amount determined by
the Bank in the following manner:
(i) FIRST, the Bank shall determine the amount of interest the Bank
would have received on each subsequent interest payment date during the
Interest Period applicable to the Fixed Rate Loan so prepaid if such
principal prepayment were not being made.
(ii) SECOND, the Bank shall determine the Reinvestment Rate applicable
to each originally scheduled interest payment hereunder based on the
principal amount of the Fixed Rate Loan that would otherwise be outstanding
on each subsequent scheduled interest payment date during the applicable
Interest Period if such principal prepayment were not being made. The
"Reinvestment Rate" applicable to the amount of any such interest payment
shall mean the rate of interest on any readily marketable bond or other
obligation of the United States, designated by the Bank in its sole
discretion, in an amount equal (as nearly as may be) to the total amount of
principal to be prepaid and having a term that most closely matches the
period beginning on the date of such prepayment and ending on the date on
which such interest payment would otherwise be due if such principal
prepayment were not being made. The Reinvestment Rate shall reflect the
amortization of any discount from par or accretion of premium above par at
which such United States obligation is selling at the time of the Bank's
designation.
(iii) THIRD, the Bank shall determine the excess, if any, of the
amount produced by the calculation referred to in paragraph (i) above over
the amount produced by the calculation referred to in paragraph (ii) above
(the "Negative Spread") as to each payment of interest that would otherwise
be due hereunder in respect of the Fixed Rate Loan if such
<PAGE> 14
-12-
principal prepayment were not being made. The Bank shall then determine the
present value of the Negative Spread of each such installment of interest,
using as a discount factor the Reinvestment Rate applicable to such
interest installment determined pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(iv) FOURTH, the Bank shall determine the sum of the present values of
the Negative Spreads for all such installments of interest. The resulting
sum shall be the prepayment premium payable by the Borrower with respect to
such principal prepayment of the Fixed Rate Loan.
3. CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES, ETC.
-----------------------------
3.1 INABILITY TO DETERMINE LIBOR RATE. In the event, prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Bank
shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBOR Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest
to be applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan during any Interest Period, the Bank
shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower) to the Borrower. In such event (i) any Loan Request or
Conversion Request with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically
withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan, unless the
Borrower requests a Fixed Rate Loan, in which case the Loan Request shall be
deemed amended accordingly, (ii) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the
last day of the then current Interest Period thereof, become a Base Rate Loan
or, if requested by the Borrower, a Fixed Rate Loan, and (iii) the obligation of
the Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Bank determines
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon
the Bank shall so notify the Borrower.
3.2 ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present
or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or
application thereof shall make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain
LIBOR Rate Loans, the Bank shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to
the Borrower and thereupon (i) the commitment of the Bank to make LIBOR Rate
Loans or convert Base Rate Loans or Fixed Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall
forthwith be suspended and (ii) the Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans,
if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans or, if requested by
the Borrower, to a Fixed Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier period
<PAGE> 15
-13-
as may be required by law. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Bank,
upon demand by the Bank, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Bank
for any costs incurred by the Bank in making any conversion in accordance with
this [Section]3.2, including any interest or fees payable by the bank to lenders
of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR rate loans
hereunder.
3.3 CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES. If, on or after the date hereof the Bank
determines that (i) the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule,
regulation or guideline or the interpretation or administration thereof (whether
or not having the force of law), or (ii) compliance by the Bank or its parent
holding company with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law), (A) shall subject the Bank to any tax, duty or other charge
