terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein and other valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. All capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the
same meaning herein as in the Credit Agreement unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
2. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete therefrom the following
definition:
Leverage Ratio (Pricing)
3. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by restating the following
definitions in their entirety as set forth below:
Base Rate shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum
equal to the highest of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day,
(ii) the Federal Funds Open Rate in effect on such day plus one half
of one percent (0.50%) and (iii) the Daily LIBOR Rate plus one

interest expense, (iii) plus all charges against or minus credits to
income for federal, state and local taxes, (iv) plus or minus, as
applicable, any other non-cash non-recurring items of gain or loss
with respect to such fiscal period not already excluded hereunder,
(v) plus or minus, as applicable, any non-cash pension expense or

Consolidated Total Indebtedness minus (b) (i) cash that is not

effective date of any change in such rate. This rate of interest is

interest or index nor does it necessarily reflect the lowest rate of
interest actually charged by PNC Bank to any particular class or
category of customers of PNC Bank.

Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and in their stead are inserted the following:

its stead is inserted Schedule 1.1(A) attached hereto.
7. Exhibit 7.3.3 to the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and in its

acceptable to the Administrative Agent and its counsel:

Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent’s counsel in
connection with this First Amendment; and
- 3 -

agreements and covenants made by it pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement,
except as such representations and warranties, agreements and covenants may have heretofore been
amended, modified or waived in writing in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
10. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that each and every document, instrument or
agreement, which at any time has secured the Obligations including, without limitation, the

any provision of or constitute a default under any other agreement, instrument or document binding
upon or enforceable against such Loan Party, and (iv) this First Amendment, the Credit Agreement
and the documents executed or to be executed by such Loan Party in connection herewith or
therewith constitute valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party in every respect,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
12. Each Loan Party represents and warrants that (i) no Event of Default exists under the
Credit Agreement, nor will any occur as a result of the execution and delivery of this First
Amendment or the performance or observance of any provision hereof, (ii) the schedules attached to
and made a part of the Credit Agreement, are true and correct in all material respects as of the
date hereof, except as such schedules may have heretofore been amended or modified or updated in
writing in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and (iii) it presently has no known claims or
actions of any kind at law or in equity against any Lender or the Administrative Agent arising out
of or in any way relating to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
13. Each reference to the Credit Agreement that is made in the Credit Agreement or any other
document executed or to be executed in connection therewith shall hereafter be construed as a
reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
14. The agreements contained in this First Amendment are limited to the specific agreements
made herein. Except as amended hereby, all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. This First Amendment amends
the Credit Agreement and is not a novation thereof.

15. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different
parties hereto on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
16. This First Amendment shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to the principles of
the conflicts of law thereof. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the jurisdiction and venue of
the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and the United States District Court
for the Western District of Pennsylvania with respect to any suit arising out of or mentioning
this First Amendment.
