SECTION 2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans.
Each Revolving Credit Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit
Loans pursuant to Section 2.4 in accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate of each
Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower at any time
shall never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of outstanding Swing
Loans and Letters of Credit Outstanding. The obligations of each Revolving Credit Lender hereunder
are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the
Obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure
of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Revolving Credit Lender shall have no
obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.
SECTION 2.3 Commitment Fees. Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date,
the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender, as
consideration for such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a
nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee
Rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 and actual days elapsed) on the average
daily difference between the amount of (a) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment as the same may be constituted from time to time (for purposes of this computation, the
Swing Loans shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts solely under the Swing Loan Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment) and (b) the sum of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding plus its Ratable Share of outstanding Swing Loans and Letters of Credit Outstanding.
All Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on (i) the first Business Day of each January,
April, July and October after the date hereof, (ii) the Conversion Date, and (iii) on the
Expiration Date or upon termination of Revolving Credit Commitments.

of the proposed Loans comprising each Borrowing Tranche, which shall be in integral multiples of
$1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000 for each Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option

Loan Request specifying: (i) the proposed Borrowing Date and the time and method of disbursement
of the Revolving Credit Loans requested thereby; (ii) the amount and type of each such Revolving
Credit Loan and the applicable Interest Period (if any); and (iii) the apportionment among the
Lenders of such Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Agent in accordance with Section
2.2. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Agent
such that the Agent is able to, and the Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds
available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2, fund such Revolving Credit
Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior
to 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the applicable Borrowing Date, provided that if any
Lender fails to remit such funds to the Agent in a timely manner, the Agent may elect in its sole
discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing
Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 12.16.
(b) Making Swing Loans. So long as the Swing Loan Lender elects to make
Swing Loans, the Swing Loan Lender shall, subject to Section 7.2, after receipt by it of a
Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4, fund such Swing Loan to the Borrower in U.S.
Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh

each Revolving Credit Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such
Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing
Loans. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the
Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section
2.4 without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. Upon notice from the Swing
Loan Lender, the Agent
shall provide notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders (which may be telephonic or written
notice by letter, facsimile, telex or electronic transmission) that such Revolving Credit Loans are
to be made under this Section 2.8 and of the apportionment among the Revolving Credit
Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving

Issuing Bank a completed application and agreement for letters of credit in such form as the
Issuing Bank may specify from time to time by no later than 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, at least

credit) provided that each Letter of Credit shall in no event expire later than ten (10) Business
Days prior to the Expiration Date and providing that in no event shall (A) the Letters of Credit

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Agent for
the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”)
according to the pricing grid on Annex I below the heading “Letter of Credit Fee”, and (ii)
to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum (computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily
average Letters of Credit Outstanding and shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing with the
first Business Day of each January, April, July and October following issuance of each Letter of
Credit and on the Expiration Date. The Borrower shall also pay to the Issuing Bank for the Issuing
Bank’s sole account the Issuing Bank’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses
payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Issuing Bank may generally charge or incur
from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if any), assignment
or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.
(c) Disbursements, Reimbursement.
(i) Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter
of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.
(ii) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Borrower. Provided
that the Borrower shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to
reimburse the Issuing Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the
Issuing Bank prior to 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuing
Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to
the amount so paid by the Issuing
Bank. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the full amount of
any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, the
Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed
to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders under the
Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit. Any notice given
by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.9 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing;
provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

TREATMENT
(iii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.9 pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, an amount in immediately
available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the unreimbursed drawing. Any payment
made by each Revolving Credit Lender to the Agent under this Section 2.9 shall be deemed to
be a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option made to the Borrower; provided, that
if the Borrower is not permitted to borrow Revolving Credit Loans because of their failure to
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 (other than any notice requirements), then
such payment shall constitute a purchase by such Revolving Credit Lender of a participation
interest (“Participation Advance”) in the Letter of Credit Borrowing as defined in
Section 2.9. If any Revolving Credit Lender so notified fails to make available to the
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable
Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, then
interest shall accrue on such Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the
Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (A) at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (B)
at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after
the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Issuing Bank will promptly give notice of the
occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Issuing Bank to give any such notice on the
Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Revolving Credit Lender to effect such payment on
such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.
(iv) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving
Credit Loans as contemplated by Section 2.9, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred
from the Issuing Bank a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of
such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with
interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans
under the Base Rate Option. Each Revolving Credit Lender is required to purchase a Participation
Advance in accordance with Section 2.9.
(d) Repayment of Participation Advances.
(i) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank,
immediately available funds from the Borrower (A) in reimbursement of any payment made by the
Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Revolving Credit Lender has made
a Participation Advance to the Issuing Bank, or (B) in payment of interest on such a payment made
by the Issuing Bank under such a Letter of Credit, the Agent will pay to each Revolving Credit
Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Agent, the amount of such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Agent shall retain, for the account of the Issuing
Bank, the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Revolving Credit Lender that did not
make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent.
(ii) If the Agent or the Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to any Loan
Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency
Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by any Loan Party to the Agent or the Issuing Bank
pursuant to Section 2.9 in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or
interest or fee thereon, each
Revolving Credit Lender shall, on demand of the Agent or the Issuing Bank, forthwith return to
the Agent or the Issuing Bank the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the
Agent or the Issuing Bank plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such
amounts are returned by such Revolving Credit Lender to the Agent or the Issuing Bank, at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

(e) Documentation. Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of
the Issuing Bank’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Bank’s written
regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may
be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or
agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that,
except in the case of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or
mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those
contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
(f) Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to
honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing
Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be
delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with
the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

Credit Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or

under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9 under all circumstances,

the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required
for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make
Participation Advances under Section 2.9;
(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any
Lender against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off,
recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may
have at any time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any
Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be
acting), the Issuing Bank or any Lender or any other Person or, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any
underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary

Section 12.5, each Loan Party hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless
the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes,
penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees,
expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Issuing
Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter
of Credit, other than as a result of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent
(as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) the wrongful dishonor by the
Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such
dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future
de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called
“Governmental Acts”).
(i) Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and the
Issuing Bank, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the
Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and
not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for any of the
following including, without limitation, any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or
property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal
effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of
any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Bank shall have been notified
thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or
proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;
(iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such
Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw

Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions
or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, electronic mail, cable, telegraph,
telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical

by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of
Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank,
including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the
vesting of, any of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall relieve the Issuing Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with actions
or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the
Issuing Bank be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive,
exemplary or special damages or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), or for
any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions
of the relevant Letter of Credit; (C) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter

of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if
such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the Issuing
Lender; (D) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising
negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a

that is the subject to such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above,
any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit
issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good

SECTION 2.10 Increase in Revolving Credit Commitment.
(a) Request for Increase. So long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving
Credit Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Revolving Credit
Commitment by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000);
provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000). At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Agent)
shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond
(which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such
notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders).
(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall notify
the Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit
Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Ratable Share
of such requested increase. Any Revolving Credit Lender not responding within such time period
shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.
(c) Notification by Agent; Additional Revolving Credit Lenders. The Agent
shall notify the Borrower and each Revolving Credit Lender of the Revolving Credit Lenders’
responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and
subject to the approval of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Loan Lender (which approvals
shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional financial institutions
(subject to the consent of the Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld) to become Revolving Credit
Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and its
counsel.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Revolving Credit Commitment
is increased in accordance with this Section, the Agent and the Borrower shall determine the
effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of
such increase. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of
the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.
(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to
such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of
the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted
by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and
after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in
Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true
and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.10, the
representations and warranties contained in subsection (a) of Section 6.9 shall be deemed
to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 10.1 and Section
10.2, and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(f) Prepayments upon Effectiveness of Increase. The Borrower shall prepay
(which may be with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans received on such date) any Revolving
Credit Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to
keep the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Ratable Shares arising from any nonratable
increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section. To the extent any Lender (a
“reducing Lender”) would be entitled to additional amounts required to be paid by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 5.6 (“breakage cost”), as a result its Revolving Credit Loan being
subject to a prepayment described in the preceding sentence, the Lenders (including any new
Lenders) which have increased their pro rata share of the Revolving Credit Commitment (each an
“increasing Lender”) shall each pay to each such reducing Lender a portion of such reducing
Lender’s breakage cost equal to the percentage of the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment
represented by such increasing Lender’s increased Revolving Credit Commitment.

Loan Commitment into such Term Loan.

SECTION 3.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans. The
failure of any Lender to make a Term Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to
make a Term Loan nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other Lender hereunder. The
Lenders shall have no obligation to make Term Loans hereunder after the Conversion Date. The Term
Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrower shall not have the right to
repay and reborrow any Term Loan.
SECTION 3.3 Term Loan Principal Payments. The Borrower shall make payments on the
principal amount of each Term Loan in equal quarterly installments, each in an amount equal to ten
percent (10%) of the aggregate amount of Term Loan Commitments, commencing on September 30, 2012,
and thereafter on the last day of each March, June, September and December, with a final
installment of any remaining principal amount payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.
SECTION 3.4 Term Loan Notes. The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the unpaid
principal amount of the Term Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon,
shall, at the request of any Term Loan Lender, be evidenced by a Term Note payable to the order of
such Lender in a face amount equal to the Term Loan of such Lender.

INTEREST RATES
SECTION 4.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the
outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or portions thereof, as selected by the Borrower
in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, at either Interest Rate Option it selects, it
being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select
different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans
comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate
Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche,
provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing
Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and
provided further that only the Base Rate Option shall apply to the Swing Loans. If at
any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s
highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s
highest lawful rate.
SECTION 4.2 Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to
or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Agent thereof at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request.
The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of,
renewal of, or conversion to a Euro-Rate Option:

(a) Amount of Borrowing Tranche. each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate
Loans shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000; and
(b) Renewals. in the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end
of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the
preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.
SECTION 4.3 Interest After Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:
(a) Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate. the Letter of Credit Fees and the
rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9 or Section
4.1, respectively, shall be increased by 2.0% per annum;
(b) Other Obligations. each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under
the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due
and payable and until it is paid in full; and
(c) Euro-Rate Option. No Borrowing Tranche may convert to or renew under a
Euro-Rate Option.
(d) Acknowledgment. The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates
referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or
other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the
Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk. All such interest shall be payable
by the Borrower upon demand by Agent.
SECTION 4.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
Available.
(a) Unascertainable. If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be
determined, the Agent shall have determined that:
(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or
(ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London
interbank eurodollar market relating to the Euro-Rate, the Agent shall have the rights specified in
Section 4.4.
(b) Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time any
Lender shall have determined that:
(i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option
applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any
Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or
directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law);

(ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan; or
(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in
Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a Euro-Rate
Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to
banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market, then the Agent shall have the rights specified
in Section 4.4.
(c) Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in
Section 4.4(a) the Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and
in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4(b), such Lender shall promptly so notify
the Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice,
and the Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and
the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than
the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given
by the Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the
Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option shall be suspended until the Agent shall
have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Agent, of the
Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to
such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Agent makes a determination under
Section 4.4 and the Borrower has previously notified the Agent of its selection of,
conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into
effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of
the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the
Agent of a determination under Section 4.4, the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s
indemnification Obligations under Section 5.6, as to any Loan of the Lender to which a
Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base
Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with
Section 5.4. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan
shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such
Loan upon such specified date.
SECTION 4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower fails to select a new
Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the
expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.2, the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such
Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest
Period.

SECTION 4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable
Margin.
(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is
determined by First Commonwealth’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366
days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest
shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or
interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest
shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or
any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan
that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Each
determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial
statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Loan Parties or the Lenders determine that
(i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and
(ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such
period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the
account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, after the occurrence of an
actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy
Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Agent, any Lender or the
Issuing Bank), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have
been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This
paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, under Article XI or any other second of this Agreement.

Credit Loans, and (b) the Term Loan Lenders, with respect to the Term Loans, in U.S. Dollars and in
immediately available funds, and the Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the applicable
Lenders in immediately available funds. The Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger
or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of
the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement
and shall be deemed an “account stated.”

SECTION 5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing (other than Swing
Loans) shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of,
conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower
with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except
for the Agent’s Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the
Loans, shall (except as provided in Section 4.4 in the case of an event specified in
Section 4.4, Section 5.4 or Section 5.6) be made in proportion to the
applicable Loans outstanding from each Lender and, if no such Loans are then outstanding, in
proportion to the Ratable Share of each Lender. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each
borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts
from the Borrower with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to the Swing Loan Lender
according to Article II.
SECTION 5.3 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base
Rate Option
applies shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month and on
the Expiration Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, or upon acceleration of the Notes.
Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of
each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months,
also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under
Section 5.5 shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the
principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after
such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated
maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).
SECTION 5.4 Voluntary Prepayments and Reduction of Commitment.
(a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have the right at its option from
time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in
Section 5.4 below or in Section 5.6):
(i) at any time with respect to any Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies;
(ii) on the last
day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to Loans to which
a Euro-Rate Option applies; and
(iii) on
the date specified in a notice by any Lender pursuant to Section 4.4

Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, the Borrower shall provide a
prepayment notice to the Agent by 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, at least one (1) Business Day prior
to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans or no later than 10:00 a.m.,
Pittsburgh time, on the date of prepayment of the Swing Loans, setting forth the following
information:
(x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed
prepayment is to

(z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than
$500,000 for any Loan (or the outstanding amount if such Loan, if such amount is less than
$500,000).
All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a
prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to
Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such
prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. All Term Loan
prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be applied to the unpaid
installments of principal of the Term Loans in the reverse order of scheduled maturities. Except
as provided in Section 4.4, if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the
applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (A)
first to Revolving Credit Loans and then to Term Loans, and (B) after giving effect to the
allocations in clause (A) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to which the Base
Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder
shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.6.
(b) Replacement of a Lender. In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under
Section 4.4 or Section 5.6 or (ii) becomes a Defaulting Lender (each a
“Replacement Event”), then the Borrower shall have the right at its option, with the
consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to prepay the Loans of such Lender
in whole, together with all interest accrued thereon, and terminate such Lender’s Commitment within
ninety (90) days after such Replacement Event; provided that the Borrower shall also pay to
such Lender (unless such Lender is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection “(a)” or “(b)” of the
definition of “Defaulting Lender”) at the time of such prepayment any amounts required under
Section 5.6 and any accrued interest due on such amount and any related fees;
provided, however, that the Commitment and any Term Loan of such Lender shall be provided
by one or more of the remaining Lenders or a replacement bank acceptable to the Agent;
provided, further, the remaining Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to increase
their Commitments.
(c) Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence
of any event giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under Section 4.4 or
Section 5.6 with respect to such Lender, it will if requested by the Borrower, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another
lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that
such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic,
legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving
rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall affect or
postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the rights of any
Secured Party provided in this Agreement.

Revolving Credit Commitments without penalty or premium, except as hereinafter set forth, provided
that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by (i) the payment in full of any
Commitment Fee and other fees then accrued on the amount of such reduction or termination, (ii)
prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans (and the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize, if necessary,
any Letters of Credit and pay, if necessary, any Swing Loans), together with the full amount of
interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section
5.6), to the extent that the aggregate amount thereof then outstanding exceeds the Commitments
as so reduced or terminated. From the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the
obligations of Borrower to pay the Commitment Fee shall correspondingly be reduced or cease, as the
case may be.
SECTION 5.5 Mandatory Prepayments and Reduction of Commitment.
(a) Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. The Revolving Credit Commitment of
each Revolving Credit Lender will be automatically reduced, on the Conversion Date, by an amount
equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.
(b) Sale of Assets; Debt Offerings. Immediately upon any (i) issuance of
Indebtedness not authorized by Section 9.1, or (ii) sale of assets not authorized by
Section 9.7, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of Loans equal to the amount of
such Indebtedness or the proceeds of such sale (net of any estimated taxes, but subject to the
Borrower’s requirement to true up any excess at the time of payment of such tax), as applicable.
All prepayments of Loans pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) shall be applied, first, to
payment in full of the principal amount of the Term Loans by application to the unpaid installments
of principal in the reverse order of scheduled maturities, second, to the payment in full of the
principal amount of all Revolving Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the
Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.6(b).
(c) Application Among Interest Rate Options. All prepayments required
pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the
principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans subject to a Euro-Rate
Option. In accordance with Section 5.6(b), the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for
any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments
applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the
applicable Interest Period.
SECTION 5.6 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.
(a) Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves, Capital
Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc. If any Law, guideline or interpretation or any change in
any Law, guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of Law) of any central bank or other Official Body:

this Agreement, the Notes, the Loans or payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, Commitment
Fees, or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (except for taxes on the

to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital, taking into
consideration such Lender’s customary policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which
such Lender in its sole discretion deems to be material, such Lender shall from time to time notify
the Borrower and the Agent of the amount determined (using any averaging and attribution methods
employed in good faith) by such Lender to be necessary to compensate such Lender for such increase
in cost, reduction of income, additional expense or reduced rate of return. Such notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable

third parties and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by a Lender to
fund or maintain Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a
consequence of any:
(i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate
Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or
not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment
or prepayment is then due);

otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.4 or Section 4.2 or
notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.4 or notice relating to Commitment
reductions under Section 5.4; or

cancellation or change, (viii) be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance
carried by or on behalf of any additional insureds with respect to their respective interests in the

there were a separate policy covering each insured. The applicable Loan Parties shall notify the
Agent promptly of any occurrence causing a material loss or decline in value of the Collateral and
the estimated (or actual, if available) amount of such loss or decline. Any monies received by the
Agent constituting insurance or condemnation proceeds may, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Default or Event of Default, at the option of the Agent, be applied by the
Agent to the payment of the Loans in such manner as the Agent may reasonably determine. Absent any
Default or Event of Default such monies shall be disbursed to the applicable Loan Parties. Each
Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain bonds in such amounts and

Change and (ii) violate subsection (b) below; and

read into this Agreement or otherwise exist, and such duties shall be mechanical and administrative
in nature. The Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary or trust relationship
in respect of any Lender, and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or
shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement
except as expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of
the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable
Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges (a) that the Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it and
that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any of the Loan
Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender;

creditworthiness of each of the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement and the making and

exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or applicable Law. In the absence of a request by the Required Lenders, the Agent shall
have authority, in its sole discretion, to take or not to take any such action, unless this
Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders. Any
action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions or discretion shall be binding on the
Lenders, subject to Section 12.6. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.6, no
Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting
or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or
in the absence of such instructions, in the absolute discretion of the Agent.

any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender”

that, in effect, all such excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Lenders and such holders

SECTION 12.14 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent by giving not less than
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. If the Agent shall resign
under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a
successor agent for the Lenders, subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within
the thirty (30) day period following the Agent’s notice to the Lenders of its resignation, then the
Agent shall appoint, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as Agent until such time as the Required Lenders
appoint and the Borrower consents to the appointment of a successor agent, provided, that
the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if any Event of Default then exists. Upon its
appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above, such successor agent shall
succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” means such
successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties
as Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of any Agent hereunder, the
provisions of this Article XII shall inure to the benefit of such former Agent and such
former Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability for
any actions taken or not taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION 12.15 Agent’s Fee. The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, pay to the
Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Agent’s Fee”) and other fees under the terms of a letter
(the “Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and the Agent, as amended, restated, modified
or supplemented from time to time.
SECTION 12.16 Availability of Funds. The Agent may assume that each Lender has made
or will make the proceeds of a Loan available to the Agent unless the Agent shall have been
notified by such Lender at least two (2) hours before the time on which the Agent actually funds
the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrower (whether using its own funds pursuant to this Section
12.16 or using proceeds deposited with the Agent by the Lenders and whether such funding occurs
before or after the time on which Lenders are required to deposit the proceeds of such Loan with
the Agent). The Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to the Agent by such Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Lender (or, if such Lender fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand from the
Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on
the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on the date the Agent recovers
such amount, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first
three (3) days after such interest shall begin to accrue and (ii) the applicable interest rate in
respect of such Loan after the end of such three-day period.

SECTION 12.17 Calculations. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Agent shall not be
liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Lender whether in respect of the Loans,
fees or any other amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement. In the event an error in
computing any amount payable to any Lender is made, the Agent, the Borrower and each affected
Lender shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be required to
correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate (provided that the Borrower shall not be required to contribute any further amounts than it
would have been required to pay if the error in question had not occurred).
SECTION 12.18 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or
assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or
assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or
pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained
in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other
Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in
connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or
the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures; (b)
any recordkeeping; (c) comparisons with government lists; (d) customer notices; or (e) other
procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.
SECTION 12.19 Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of
this Article XII are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan
Parties shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In
performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of
the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be
deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for
any of the Loan Parties.

SECTION 13.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required. No course of

exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof
or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy or privilege
preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The

are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any
waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Lender of any
breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or condition of this
Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in

SECTION 13.3 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Lenders by the Borrower; Taxes.
The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, agree unconditionally upon demand to pay or reimburse to
each Lender and to defend and save such Lender harmless against (i) any liability for the payment
of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees and expenses of
counsel (including allocated costs of staff counsel) for each Lender except with respect to (a) and
(b) below), incurred by such Lender (a) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution,
administration and interpretation of this Agreement, and other instruments and documents to be
delivered hereunder, (b) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions
hereof, (c) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim
arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership
proceedings or otherwise, (d) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection,
preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy
proceedings and (e) in connection with any Environmental Complaint threatened or asserted against
the Lender in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
(including the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of
any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure,
collection or bankruptcy proceedings or in any workout or restructuring), or (ii) all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Lender, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of (y) this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Lender hereunder or
thereunder and (z) any Environmental Complaint in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by such Lender hereunder or
thereunder, provided that no Loan Party shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements (A) if the same results from such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (B) if the Borrower was not given
notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its
expense (except that each Loan Party shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice
does not result in a loss to such Loan Party), or (C) if the same results from a compromise or
settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not have been
unreasonably withheld. The Lenders will attempt to minimize the fees and expenses of legal counsel
for the Lenders which are subject to reimbursement by the Borrower hereunder by considering the
usage of one law firm to represent the Lenders and the Agent if appropriate under the
circumstances. Each Loan Party, jointly and severally, agrees unconditionally to pay all stamp,
document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter
determined by the Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, and each Loan Party, jointly and severally, agrees unconditionally to save the Agent
and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or
losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes,
fees or impositions.

controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with any corporation or association
which directly or indirectly controls such Lender) of such Lender to have made, maintained or

immediately following (on the assumption that a payment were then due from the Borrower to such
other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrower would not be under any greater
financial obligation pursuant to Section 5.6 than it would have been in the absence of such

and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be
applicable to such part of the Loans to the same extent as if such Loans were made or maintained by
such Lender, but in no event shall any Lender’s use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to
make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder cause such Lender or such branch, Subsidiary or
Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrower hereunder or require the Borrower
to pay any other compensation to any Lender (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to
Section 5.6) which would otherwise not be incurred.

SECTION 13.17 Certifications From Lenders and Participants.
(a) Tax Withholding. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not
incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the
written request of the Agent, each other Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender) agrees that
it will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid
Withholding Certificates (as defined under § 1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax Regulations (the
“Regulations”)) certifying its status (i.e. U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a
claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or
an exemption provided by the Internal Revenue
Code. The term “Withholding Certificate” means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a
Form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as required under § 1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or
(3) of the Regulations; a statement described in § 1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any
other certificates under the Internal Revenue Code or Regulations that certify or establish the
status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person. Each Lender, assignee or
participant required to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a Withholding Certificate pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate as follows: (A) each
Lender which is a party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate
at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are payable
by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lender; and (B) each assignee or participant
shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days before the
effective date of such assignment or participation (unless the Agent in its sole discretion shall
permit such assignee or participant to deliver such valid Withholding Certificate less than five
(5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the
Agent). Each Lender, assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate
further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) additional copies of
such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding
Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or
extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent.
Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption
from U.S. withholding tax, the Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income
taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under
the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the
Regulations. Further, the Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any
claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax
it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(b) USA Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not
incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted
from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the
applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign

Schedule 6.7
Litigation
1. On March 20, 2007, the Company and ADA-ES entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”)
providing for cooperation between the companies to attempt to jointly market powdered activated
carbon (“PAC”) to the electric power industry for the removal of mercury from coal fired power
plant flue gas. The MOU provided for commissions to be paid to ADA-ES in respect of product sales.
The Company terminated the MOU effective as of August 24, 2007 for convenience. Neither party had
entered into sales or supply agreements with prospective customers as of that date. On March 3,
2008, the Company entered into a supply agreement with a major U.S. power generator for the sale of
powdered activated carbon products with a minimum purchase obligation of approximately $55 million
over a 5 year period. ADA-ES claimed that it is entitled to commissions of an amount of at least
$8.25 million over the course of the 5 year contract, which the Company denies. On September 29,
2008, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania for a declaratory judgment from the Court that the Company has no obligation to pay
ADA-ES commissions related to this contract or for any future sales made after August 24,
2007.
2. Following protracted litigation in multiple jurisdictions, the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit held that the Company’s process patents for the use of ultraviolet light to
prevent infection from Cryptosporidium and Giardia in drinking water (the “UV patents”) are invalid
in the United States concluding the U.S. litigation relating to the UV patents. On March 3, 2008,
the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Company’s Canadian UV patents are invalid, concluding the
Canadian UV patent litigation. In March 2007, the Company and Trojan Technologies, Inc. entered
into a settlement whereby in exchange for a nominal cash payment and relief from legal fees, the
Company granted Trojan Technologies, Inc. worldwide immunity from all current and future legal
action related to the Company’s UV patents. In 2007, a German trial court found that a competitor
infringed the Company’s UV patents with respect to medium pressure ultraviolet light, but did not
infringe with respect to low pressure ultraviolet light. The Company appealed the decision
relating to low pressure light. The competitor did not appeal. By order dated September 29, 2008,
each party nominated an expert to provide opinions as to questions posed by the Court. The Court
will then choose one of the experts nominated or choose another expert. The validity of the German
UV patents, as distinguished from issues of infringement which were decided in the trial court, is
the subject of pending administrative proceedings in Germany. The outcome of these cases has
impaired the Company’s ability to capitalize on substantial future revenues from the licensing of
its UV patents.
3. On March 8, 2006, the Company and another U.S. producer of activated carbon formally requested
that the United States Department of Commerce investigate unfair pricing of certain activated
carbon imported from the People’s Republic of China. The Commerce Department investigated imports
of activated carbon from China that is thermally activated using a combination of heat, steam
and/or carbon dioxide. Certain types of activated carbon from China, most notably
chemically-activated carbon, were not investigated.
On March 2, 2007, the Commerce Department published its final determination (subsequently amended)
that all of the subject merchandise from China was being unfairly priced, or dumped,
[***] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed
separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

and thus that special additional duties should be imposed to offset the amount of the unfair
pricing. The final tariff rates ranged from 61.95 percent ad valorem (i.e., of the entered value
of the goods) to 228.11 percent ad valorem. A formal order imposing final tariffs was published on
April 27, 2007. All imports from China remain subject to the order and antidumping tariffs.
Importers of subject activated carbon from China are required to make cash deposits of estimated
antidumping duties at the time the goods are entered into the United States customs territory.
Deposits of duties are subject to future revision based on retrospective reviews conducted by the
Commerce Department. With one limited exception, the amount of duties owed can decrease or
increase retroactively based on the government’s subsequent review of the actual prices at which
the entries were sold.
The Company is both a domestic producer and one of the largest U.S. importers (from our
wholly-owned subsidiary Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.) of the activated carbon that is subject
to this proceeding. As such, the Company is involved in the Commerce Department’s proceedings both
as a domestic producer (a “petitioner”) and as a foreign exporter (a “respondent”).
As one of two U.S. producers involved as petitioners in the case, the Company is actively involved
in ensuring the Commerce Department obtains the most accurate information from the foreign
producers and exporters involved in the review, in order to calculate the most accurate results and
margins of dumping for the sales at issue.
As an importer of activated carbon from China and in light of the successful antidumping duty case,
the Company was required to pay deposits of estimated antidumping duties at the rate of 84.45
percent ad valorem to the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”) on entries made on or
after October 11, 2006 through April 9, 2007. Thereafter, deposits have been paid at 69.54
percent. Because of limits on the government’s legal authority to impose provisional duties prior
to issuance of a final determination, entries made between April 9, 2007 and April 19, 2007 were
not subject to duties.
The Company’s role as an importer that is required to pay duties results in a contingent liability
related to the final amount of duties that will be paid. The Company has made deposits of
estimated duties in two ways. First, estimated duties on entries in the period from October 11,
2006 through April 9, 2007 were covered by a bond. The total amount of duties that can be paid on
entries in this period is capped as a matter of law, though the Company may receive a refund with
interest of any difference due to a reduction in the actual margin of dumping found in the first
review. The Company’s estimated liability for duties during this period of $0.8 million is
reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Second, the Company has been required to post cash
deposits of estimated duties owed on entries of subject merchandise since April 19, 2007. The
final amount of duties owed on these entries may change, and can either increase or decrease
depending on the final results of relevant administrative inquiries. This process is briefly
described below.
The amount of estimated antidumping duties payable on goods imported into the United States is
subject to review and retroactive adjustment based on the actual amount of dumping that is
[***] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed

TREATMENT
found. To do this, the Commerce Department conducts periodic reviews of sales made to the first
unaffiliated U.S. customer, typically over the prior 12 month period. These reviews will be
possible for at least five years, and can result in changes to the antidumping tariff rate (either
increasing or reducing the rate) applicable to any given foreign exporter. Revision of tariff
rates has two effects. First, it will alter the actual amount of duties that Customs will seek to
collect, by either increasing or decreasing the amount to reflect the actual amount of dumping that
was found. Where the actual amount of duties owed increases, the government will require payment
of the difference plus interest. Conversely, when the duty rate decreases, any difference is
refunded with interest. Second, the revised rate becomes the cash deposit rate applied to future
entries, and can either increase or decrease the amount of deposits an importer will be required to
pay.
The Company currently is in the midst of the first such review. Because it is the first review
conducted under the antidumping duty order, the review covers the period from October 11, 2006
through March 31, 2008 instead of the typical 12 month period. The preliminary results of the
review were announced on May 1, 2009 at which time the Department of Commerce informed the Company
that its revised tariff rate may increase from approximately 70% to approximately 189%, while the
average tariff for other importers ranges from approximately 50% to 119%. These results are
preliminary, based on information provided by respondents that has not yet been audited or
verified. These results are subject to adjustment up or down. The respondents, including Calgon
Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., are subject to additional requests for information and on-site
verification by the Department of Commerce of the accuracy of the information that has been
presented. The review must be completed no later than November 3, 2009 and could vary
substantially from the preliminary results. Because there are multiple factors that will
influence the final results, the Company is unable to estimate what, if any, adjustments to the
current duty deposit rate will occur or the amount of additional deposits or refunds the Company
may owe or receive, respectively.
On April 1, 2009, the Commerce Department published a formal notice allowing parties to request a
second annual administrative review of the antidumping duty order covering the period April 1, 2008
through March 31, 2009. Requests for review were due no later than April 30, 2009. In its
capacity as a U.S. producer, the Company requested reviews of multiple Chinese exporters. In its
capacity as a Chinese exporter, Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. requested its own review. A
notice formally initiating the review will be published in the Federal Register in the coming
weeks.
The contingent liability relating to duties paid on imports is somewhat mitigated by two factors.
First and foremost, the antidumping duty order’s disciplinary effect on the market encourages the
elimination of dumping through fair pricing, and thus tends to provide the Company the ability to
obtain an improved return on its investment and operations. Separately, pursuant to the Continued
Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (repealed effective Feb. 8, 2006), as an affected domestic
producer, the Company is eligible to apply for a distribution of a share of certain duties
collected on entries of subject merchandise from China from April 27, 2007 to September 30, 2007.
In July 2008, the Company applied for such a distribution. In December 2008, the Company received
a distribution of approximately $0.2 million, which reflected 59.57

Environmental Matters and Safety Matters
1. In conjunction with the February 2004 purchase of substantially all of Waterlink’s operating
assets and the stock of Waterlink’s U.K. subsidiary, several environmental studies were performed
on Waterlink’s Columbus, Ohio property by environmental consulting firms which identified and
characterized areas of contamination. In addition, these firms identified alternative methods of
remediating the property, identified feasible alternatives and prepared cost evaluations of the
various alternatives. The Company concluded from the information in the studies that a loss at
this property is probable and recorded the liability as a component of noncurrent other liabilities
in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the balance
recorded was $4.0 million. Liability estimates are based on an evaluation of, among other factors,
currently available facts, existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and the
remediation experience of other companies. The Company has not incurred any environmental
remediation expense for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. It is reasonably possible that a
change in the estimate of this obligation will occur as remediation preparation and remediation
activity commences in the future. The ultimate remediation costs are dependent upon, among other
things, the requirements of any state or federal environmental agencies, the remediation methods
employed, the final scope of work being determined, and the extent and types of contamination which
will not be fully determined until experience is gained through remediation and related activities.
The accrued amounts are expected to be paid out over the course of several years once work has
commenced. The Company has yet to make a determination as to when it will proceed with remediation
efforts.
2. By letter dated January 22, 2007, the Company received from the United States Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 4 (“EPA”) a report of a hazardous waste facility inspection performed by
the EPA and the Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection (“KYDEP”) as part of a Multi Media
Compliance Evaluation of the Company’s Big Xxxxx Plant in Catlettsburg, Kentucky that was conducted
on September 20 and 21, 2005. Accompanying the report was a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) alleging
multiple violations of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and
corresponding EPA and KYDEP hazardous waste regulations. The alleged violations mainly concern the
hazardous waste spent activated carbon regeneration facility. The Company met with the EPA on
April 17, 2007 to discuss the inspection report and alleged violations, and submitted written
responses in May and June 2007. In August 2007, the EPA notified the Company that it believes
there were still significant violations of RCRA that are unresolved by the information in the
Company’s responses, without specifying the particular violations. During a meeting with the EPA
on December 10, 2007, the EPA indicated that the agency would not pursue certain other alleged
violations. Based on discussions during the December 10, 2007 meeting, subsequent communications
with EPA, and in connection with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act (“CERCLA”) Notice referred to below, the Company has taken actions to address and
remediate a number of the unresolved alleged violations. The Company believes that the number of
unresolved issues as to alleged continuing violations cited in the January 22, 2007 NOV has been
reduced substantially. The EPA can take formal enforcement action to require the Company to
remediate any or all of the unresolved alleged continuing

TREATMENT
violations which could require the Company to incur substantial additional costs. The EPA can also
take formal enforcement action to impose substantial civil penalties with respect to violations
cited in the NOV, including those which have been admitted or resolved. The Company is awaiting
further response from the EPA and cannot predict with any certainty the probable outcome of this
matter or range of potential loss, if any.
On July 3, 2008, the EPA verbally informed the Company that there are a number of unresolved RCRA
violations at the Big Xxxxx Plant which may render the facility unacceptable to receive spent
carbon for reactivation from sites regulated under the CERCLA pursuant to the CERCLA Off-Site Rule.
The Company received written notice of the unacceptability determination on July 14, 2008 (the
“CERCLA Notice”). The CERCLA Notice alleged multiple violations of RCRA and four releases of
hazardous waste. The alleged violations and releases were cited in the September 2005 multi-media
compliance inspections, and were among those cited in the January 2007 NOV described in the
preceding paragraph as well. The CERCLA Notice gave the Company until September 1, 2008 to
demonstrate to the EPA that the alleged violations and releases are not continuing, or else the Big
Xxxxx Plant would not be able to receive spent carbon from CERCLA sites until the EPA determined
that the facility is again acceptable to receive such CERCLA wastes. This deadline subsequently was
extended several times. The Company met with the EPA in August 2008 regarding the CERCLA Notice and
submitted a written response to the CERCLA Notice prior to the meeting.
By letter dated August 18, 2008, the Company was notified by the EPA Suspension and Debarment
Division (“SDD”) that because of the alleged violations described in the CERCLA Notice, the SDD was
making an assessment of the Company’s present responsibility to conduct business with Federal
Executive Agencies. Representatives of the SDD attended the August 2008 EPA meeting. On August
28, 2008, the Company received a letter from the Division requesting additional information from
the Company in connection with the SDD’s evaluation of the Company’s potential “business risk to
the Federal Government,” noting that the Company engages in procurement transactions with or funded
by the Federal Government. The Company provided the SDD with all information requested by the
letter in September 2008. The SDD can suspend or debar a Company from sales to the federal
government directly or indirectly through government contractors or with respect to projects funded
by the federal government. In October 2008, the SDD indicated that it was still reviewing the
matter but that another meeting with the Company was not warranted at that time. The Company
believes that there is no basis for suspension or debarment on the basis of the matters asserted by
the EPA in the CERCLA Notice or otherwise. The Company has had no further communication with the
SDD’s since October 2008
By letter dated February 13, 2009, the EPA informed the Company that based on information submitted
by the Company indicating that the Big Xxxxx Plant has returned to physical compliance for the
alleged violations and releases, the EPA had made an affirmative determination of acceptability for
receipt of CERCLA wastes at the Big Xxxxx Plant. The EPA’s determination is conditioned upon the
Company treating certain residues resulting from the treatment of the carbon reactivation furnace
off-gas as hazardous waste and not sending material dredged from the onsite wastewater treatment
lagoons offsite other than to a permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility.
The Company has requested clarification from the
[***] = Confidential treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed

TREATMENT
EPA regarding these two conditions. The Company is also in discussions with the EPA and KYDEP
regarding the classification of these materials. If the Company is required to treat and/or
dispose of the material dredged from the lagoon as hazardous waste, the costs for doing so could be
substantial.
3. In June 2007, the Company received a Notice Letter from the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”) stating that the NYSDEC had determined that the Company is a
Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at the Frontier Chemical Processing Royal Avenue Site in
Niagara Falls, New York (the “Site”). The Notice Letter requests that the Company and other PRPs
develop, implement and finance a remedial program for Operable Unit #1 at the Site. Operable Unit
#1 consists of overburden soils and overburden and upper bedrock groundwater. The selected remedy
is removal of above grade structures and contaminated soil source areas, installation of a cover
system, and ground water control and treatment, estimated to cost between approximately $11 million
and $14 million, which would be shared among the PRPs. The Company has not determined what portion
of the costs associated with the remedial program it would be obligated to bear and the Company
cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of this matter or range of potential loss. The
Company has joined a PRP group and has executed a Joint Defense Agreement with the group members.
In August 2008, the Company and over 100 PRP’s entered into a Consent Order with NYSDEC for
additional site investigation directed toward characterization of the Site to better define the
scope of the remedial project. The Company contributed monies to the PRP group to help fund the
work required under the Consent Order. The field work was initiated in 2008 but suspended due the
onset of winter. The group plans to complete the work in the spring of 2009.
4. By letter dated July 3, 2007, the Company received an NOV from the KYDEP alleging that the
Company has violated the KYDEP’s hazardous waste management regulations in connection with the
Company’s hazardous waste spent activated carbon regeneration facility located at the Big Xxxxx
Plant in Catlettsburg, Kentucky. The NOV alleges that the Company has failed to correct
deficiencies identified by the KYDEP in the Company’s Part B hazardous waste management facility
permit application and related documents and directed the Company to submit a complete and accurate
Part B application and related documents and to respond to the KYDEP’s comments which were appended
to the NOV. The Company submitted a response to the NOV and the KYDEP’s comments in December 2007
by providing a complete revised permit application. The KYDEP has not indicated whether or not it
will take formal enforcement action, and has not specified a monetary amount of civil penalties it
might pursue in any such action, if any. KYDEP can also deny the Part B operating permit. On
October 18, 2007, the Company received an NOV from the EPA related to this permit application and
submitted a revised application to both the KYDEP and the EPA within the mandated timeframe. The
EPA has not indicated whether or not it will take formal enforcement action, and has not specified
a monetary amount of civil penalties it might pursue in any such action. EPA can also deny the
Part B operating permit. At this time the Company cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of
this matter or range of loss, if any.
5. There is a closed landfill, several closed and operating surface impoundments, and other solid
waste management units at the Big Xxxxx Plant. These have been identified in the Part B

Permit and renewal application. The landfill and surface impoundments were the subject of a RCRA
Facility Investigation as part of a corrective action permit that was issued as part of the Part B
permit in 1990. The Big Xxxxx Plant is also identified in the EPA RCRA “2020 Corrective Action
Universe” which included 3,880 facilities in the U.S. which may be subject to additional corrective
action requirements.
6. The Company has been identified as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at the Xxxxxx
Superfund Site in Texas, and has entered into a De Minimis settlement agreement with EPA.
7. A portion of the Big Xxxxx Plant is located in a flood plain.
8. The Pearl River (Mississippi) Plant is located in an area susceptible to flooding during
hurricanes.
