Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Bank severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof to the Expiration Date provided that after giving effect to such Loan the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Bank shall not exceed such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Bank’s Ratable Share of the then outstanding Swing Loans and Letters of Credit Outstanding.

2.1.2 Right to Increase Commitments

Provided that there is no Event of Default or Potential Default, if the Borrower wishes to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments, Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that any such increase shall be in a minimum of $10,000,000 and the aggregate of all such increases shall not exceed $50,000,000.

Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank, as consideration for such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), calculated on a per annum (365 or 366 days, as appropriate, and actual days elapsed) basis under the Pricing Grid, on the average daily difference between the amount of (i) such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment as the same may be constituted from time to time and (ii) the principal amount of such Bank’s Ratable Share of Revolving Facility Usage.

The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Banks a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) calculated on a per annum (365 or 366 days, as appropriate, and actual days elapsed) basis under the Pricing Grid (except that the Letter of Credit Fee for purposes of the K-T Letter of Credit shall be such fee as is provided in the documentation for such K-T Letter of Credit), and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for its own account a fronting fee equal to 1/8% per annum, 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 October, January, April and July following issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Expiration Date. The Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s sole account the Administrative Agent’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Administrative Agent 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.

2.8.3 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

2.8.3.1 Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Administrative Agent a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Bank’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

2.8.3.2 In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time on each date that an amount is paid by the Administrative Agent under any Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Administrative Agent. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Banks under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the

amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 [Each Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8.3.2 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.

2.8.3.3 Each Bank shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.8.3.2 make available to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Banks shall (subject to Section 2.8.3.4) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower under the Base Rate Option in that amount. If any Bank so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent the amount of such Bank’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 Bank’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Bank makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from its obligation under this Section 2.8.3.3.

2.8.3.4 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower under the Base Rate Option in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.8.3.2, because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 [Each Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Administrative Agent 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 Bank’s payment to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8.3.3 shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Bank in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.8.3.

2.8.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.

2.8.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for its account of immediately available funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Administrative Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Bank has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Administrative Agent under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent will pay to each Bank, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the amount of such Bank’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent shall

retain the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Bank that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Administrative Agent.

2.8.4.2 If the Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8.4.1 in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Bank shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Bank to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

2.8.5 Documentation.

Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Administrative Agent’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Administrative Agent’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 gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Administrative Agent 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.

2.8.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.

In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Administrative Agent 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.

2.8.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.

Each Bank’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.8.3, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;

In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 9.5 [Reimbursement of Administrative Agent by Borrower, Etc.], the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent and any of Administrative Agent’s Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit 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 Administrative Agent or any of Administrative Agent’s Affiliates 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 (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful dishonor by the Administrative Agent or any of Administrative Agent’s Affiliates 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”).

2.8.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

As between any Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, 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 Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for any of the following including 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 Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates 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 upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such 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, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication 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 Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, as applicable, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Administrative Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Administrative Agent from liability for the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates 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.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim 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 Administrative Agent or its Affiliate; (iv) 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 draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrative Agent or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject to such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates 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 faith, shall not put the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Bank.

2.9 Swing Loans.

2.9.1 Making Swing Loans.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, PNC Bank may in its discretion make swing line loans in Dollars (the “Swing Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time prior to the Expiration Date in an aggregate outstanding principal amount up to the amount of the Swing Loan Commitment for periods not to exceed seven (7) days as requested by the Borrower and agreed to by PNC Bank; provided, that, no Swing Loan shall be made if, after giving effect to the making of such Swing Loan and the simultaneous application of the proceeds thereof, (x) the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all of the Banks or (y) the aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by a Bank plus such Bank’s Ratable Share of the amount of Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings then outstanding would exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may prior to the Expiration Date borrow, repay and reborrow under the Swing Loan Commitment, subject to and in accordance with the terms and limitations hereof. The interest rate for a Swing Loan shall be the rate that is mutually agreed by the Borrower and PNC Bank at the time such Swing Loan is made or, absent such an agreement, at the Base Rate.

2.9.2 Swing Loan Request.

The Borrower may request a Swing Loan to be made on any Business Day. Each request for a Swing Loan shall be in the form of a Swing Loan Request (or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing, it being understood that PNC Bank may rely on the authority of any individual making such telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation) and received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh time) on the Business Day such Swing Loan is to be made, specifying in each case (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, and (iii) the date such Swing Loan is to be repaid, if applicable (the “Swing Loan Repayment Date”). The request for such Swing Loan shall be irrevocable. Provided that all applicable conditions precedent contained herein have been satisfied, PNC Bank shall, not later than 4:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the date specified in the Borrower’s request for such Swing Loan, make such Swing Loan by crediting the Borrower’s deposit account with PNC Bank.

2.9.3 Swing Loan Note.

The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower dated the date hereof, payable to the order of PNC Bank in the

principal amount of the Swing Loan Commitment and substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(S)(2) (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swing Loan Note”).

2.9.4 Repayment.

Swing Loans shall be repaid on the earliest of (i) the Expiration Date, (ii) the Swing Loan Repayment Date for such Swing Loan, and (iii) the seventh day after the date such Swing Loan was made, or at any time upon demand by the Administrative Agent (any such date being the “Swing Loan Conversion Date”). Unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on such Swing Loan Conversion Date that the Borrower intends to repay such Swing Loan with funds other than the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given notice to the Administrative Agent requesting the Banks to make Revolving Credit Loans which shall earn interest at the Base Rate in effect on the Swing Loan Conversion Date in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swing Loan plus interest thereon, the Banks shall, on the Swing Loan Conversion Date, make Revolving Credit Loans (without the requirement that they comply with the conditions for Revolving Credit Loans in Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], which shall earn interest at the Base Rate, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swing Loan plus interest thereon, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to repay PNC Bank for such Swing Loan plus accrued interest thereon; and provided, further, that if for any reason the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans are not received by PNC Bank on the Swing Loan Conversion Date in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swing Loan plus accrued interest, the Borrower shall reimburse PNC Bank on the day immediately following the Swing Loan Conversion Date, in same day funds, in an amount equal to the excess of the amount of such Swing Loan over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans, if any, received plus accrued interest thereon.

2.9.5 Participations.

In the event that the Borrower shall fail to repay PNC Bank as provided in Section 2.9.4, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the unpaid amount of such Swing Loan and of such Bank’s respective participation therein in an amount equal to such Bank’s pro rata share of such Swing Loan. Each Bank shall make available to the Administrative Agent for payment to PNC Bank an amount equal to its respective participation therein (including without limitation its pro rata share of accrued but unpaid interest thereon, provided that the interest rate payable by the participating Banks shall not exceed the Base Rate), in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in such notice. If such notice is delivered by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, each Bank shall make funds available to the Administrative Agent on that Business Day. If such notice is delivered after 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, each Bank shall make funds available to the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. In the event that any Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Bank’s participation in such unpaid amount as provided herein, PNC Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period between the date such participation amount is required to be paid and the date on which such Bank makes

available its participation in such unpaid amount. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any such unpaid amount shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro rata share of such unpaid amount on the Swing Loan Conversion Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.9.5 with respect to the unpaid amount of any Swing Loan, such Bank’s pro rata share (based on its participation in such Swing Loan and interest thereon) of all payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in repayment of such Swing Loan when such payments are received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Bank which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.9.5 shall have a direct right to repayment of such amounts from the Borrower subject to the procedures for repaying Banks set forth in this Section 2.9.5 and the provisions of Section 4.

2.9.6 Termination.

In the event the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Swing Loan Commitment shall also be terminated automatically. In the event the Borrower reduces the Revolving Credit Commitments to less than the Swing Loan Commitment, the Swing Loan Commitment shall immediately be reduced to an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment. In the event the Borrower reduces the Revolving Credit Commitments to less than the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Loans, the Borrower shall immediately repay the amount by which the outstanding Swing Loans exceeds the Swing Loan Commitment as so reduced plus accrued interest thereon.

2.9.7 Minimum Amounts.

At no time shall there be more than three (3) outstanding Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan shall be in an original principal amount of $25,000, except as to Swing Loans made pursuant to Section 2.9.9, as to which there shall be no minimum.

2.9.8 Prepayment.

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Swing Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but in any event subject to Section 4.5.2), upon prior written, facsimile or telephonic notice to PNC Bank given no later than 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on the date of any proposed prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the Swing Loan to be prepaid and the amount to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such amount on such date, with accrued interest thereon and any other amounts owed hereunder.

2.9.9 Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreements.

In addition to making Swing Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9.9, without the requirement for a specific request from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9.2, PNC Bank may make Swing Loans to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between the Borrower and PNC Bank relating to the Borrower’s deposit, sweep and

The parties shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.10 [Collateral Security] contained on Schedule A.

3. INTEREST RATES

The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, 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 eight (8) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Bank exceeds such Bank’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Bank’s Loan shall be limited to such Bank’s highest lawful rate. The interest rate applicable to the Swing Loans shall be governed by Section 2.9.

3.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options.

The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans:

(ii) Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the applicable number of basis points calculated under the Pricing Grid.

3.1.2 Rate Quotations.

The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Banks nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

3.2 Interest Periods.

At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative 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 (the “Interest Period”) during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply, such Interest Period to be one, two, three or six Months, provided, that:

3.2.1 Ending Date and Business Day.

3.2.2 Amount of Borrowing Tranche.

Each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Loans shall be in integral multiples of $500,000 and not less than $2,000,000;

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 Revolving Credit 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.

3.3.3 Acknowledgment.

The Borrower acknowledges that such increased rates reflect, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Banks are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and, all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent.

3.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable.

3.4.1 Unascertainable.

If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or

(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 Bank 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), or

(ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Bank 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 to which a Euro-Rate Option applies are not available to such Bank with respect to such Loan in the London interbank market, then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3.

3.4.3 Administrative Agent’s and Banks’ Rights.

In the case of any event specified in subsection 3.4.1 above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Banks and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in subsection 3.4.2 above, such Bank shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Banks 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 (A) the Banks, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Bank, in the case of such notice given by such Bank, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Bank shall have later notified the

Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Bank’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under subsection 3.4.1 of this Section 3.4 and the Borrower has previously notified the Administrative 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 Bank notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under subsection 3.4.2 of this Section 3.4, the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 4.5.2, as to any Loan of the Bank 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 4.4. 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.

3.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options.

If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Loans at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1, the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option, as applicable, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the ratable accounts of the Banks with respect to the Loans in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Banks in immediately available funds, provided that in the event payments are received by 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Banks on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Banks the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Banks. The Administrative Agent’s and each Bank’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.”

4.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Banks.

Each borrowing shall be allocated to each Bank 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 Administrative Agent’s Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Banks with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided in Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits not Available] in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4.1 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable], 4.4 [Voluntary Prepayments and Commitment Reductions] or 4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) be made in proportion to the applicable Loans outstanding from each Bank and, if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Bank.

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 last day of every third month during such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 4.5 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).

(b) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Swing Loans it shall provide notice thereof no later than 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans setting forth the following information:

(x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made; and

The amount of the payment shall not be less than $25,000 for any Swing Loan except for Swing Loans made pursuant to Section 2.9.9, as to which there shall be no minimum.

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. Except as provided in Section 3.3.3, if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fail to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied 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 Banks under Section 4.5.2.

4.4.2 Replacement of a Bank.

In the event any Bank (i) gives notice under Section 3.4.2 or Section 4.5, (ii) does not fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Bank, (iii) does not approve any action as to which consent of the Required Banks is requested by the Borrower and obtained hereunder, or (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), then the Borrower shall have the right at its option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to prepay the Loans of such Bank in whole, together with all interest accrued thereon, and terminate such Bank’s Commitment within ninety (90) days after (w) receipt of such Bank’s notice under Section 3.4.2 or 4.5.1, (x) the date such Bank has failed to fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene Law applicable to such Bank, (y) the date of obtaining the consent which such Bank has not approved, or (z) the date such Bank became subject to the control of an Official Body, as applicable; provided that

the Borrower shall also pay to such Bank at the time of such prepayment any amounts required under Section 4.5 and any accrued interest due on such amount and any related fees; provided, however, that the Commitment of such Bank shall be provided by one or more of the remaining Banks or a replacement bank acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, the remaining Banks shall have no obligation hereunder to increase their Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may only be replaced subject to the requirements of Section 9.14 and provided that all Letters of Credit have expired, been terminated or replaced or cash collateral or backup letters of credit shall have been deposited.

4.4.3 Right to Reduce Commitments.

The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments upon at least one Business Day’s advance notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such permanent reduction shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 and shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Bank in proportion to its Ratable Share. Upon the effective date of each permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall also prepay, with interest and with any additional compensation required under Section 4.5.2, the amount (if any) by which the Revolving Facility Usage at the time of the reduction exceeds the amount of the Revolving Commitments as reduced.

(i) subjects any Bank to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to 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 overall net income of such Bank),

(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, or assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with or for the account of, or other acquisitions of funds by, any Bank, or

(iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or letters of credit, other credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, any Bank, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of any Bank under this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of

margin) upon any Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Loans (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Bank’s capital, taking into consideration such Bank’s customary policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which such Bank in its sole discretion deems to be material, such Bank shall from time to time notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount determined in good-faith (using any averaging and attribution methods employed in good-faith) by such Bank to be necessary to compensate such Bank for such increase in cost, reduction of income or additional expense (to the extent not reflected in the determination of Base Rate). Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

4.5.2 Indemnity.

In addition to the compensation required by subsection 4.5.1 of this Section 4.5, the Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by a Bank to fund or maintain Loans subject to the Euro-Rate Option) which such Bank actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of any

(i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which the 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),

(ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any notice relating to Loan Requests under Section 2.4 or Section 3.2 or prepayments under Section 4.4, or

(iii) default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder.

If any Bank actually sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good-faith by such Bank (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Bank shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Bank for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

Such right shall exist whether or not any Bank or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether or not such debt owing to or funds held for the account of the Borrower is or are matured or unmatured and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any Guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to any Bank or the Administrative Agent; and

The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary or trust relationship in respect of any Bank; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.

The Administrative Agent agrees, upon the written request of the Required Banks, to take or refrain from taking any action of the type specified as being within the Administrative Agent’s rights, powers or discretion herein, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable Law.

The Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and save the Administrative Agent harmless against (a) liability for the payment of all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including fees and expenses of counsel, appraisers and environmental consultants, incurred by the Administrative Agent (i) in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation, printing, execution, administration, syndication, interpretation and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) relating to any requested amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (iii) 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, and (iv) in any workout, 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 (b) 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 the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the same results from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if the Borrower was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that

the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower), or if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the Borrower agrees to reimburse and pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent’s regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of the Borrower’s books, records and business properties, provided that, before an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for more than one such audit per year.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, or Affiliates shall be liable to the Borrower for consequential damages resulting from any breach of contract in connection with the negotiation, documentation, administration or collection of the Loans or any of the Loan Documents.

9.7 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Administrative Agent by Banks.

Each Bank agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share from and against 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 the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (a) if the same results from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if such Bank was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that such Bank shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Bank), or (c) if the same results from a compromise and settlement agreement entered into without the consent of such Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, each Bank agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due and

payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in connection with the Administrative Agent’s periodic audit of the Borrower’s books, records and business properties.

9.8 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram, telex or teletype message, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or other document or conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of counsel and other professional advisers selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

9.9 Notice of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”

9.10 Notices.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly send to each Bank a copy of all notices received from the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents promptly upon receipt thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Banks of each change in the Base Rate and the effective date thereof.

9.11 Banks in Their Individual Capacities.

With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. PNC Bank and its Affiliates and each of the Banks and their respective Affiliates may, without liability to account, except as prohibited herein, make loans to, accept deposits from, discount drafts for, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with, the Borrower and its Affiliates, in the case of the Administrative Agent, as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and in the case of each Bank, as though such Bank were not a Bank hereunder.

9.12 Holders of Notes.

The Administrative Agent may deem and treat any payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the assignment or transfer

thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

9.13 Equalization of Banks.

The Banks and the holders of any participations in any Notes agree among themselves that, with respect to all amounts received by any Bank or any such holder for application on any Obligation hereunder or under any Note or under any such participation, whether received by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or by any other non-pro rata source, equitable adjustment will be made in the manner stated in the following sentence so that, in effect, all such excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Banks and such holders in proportion to their interests in payments under the Notes, except as otherwise provided in Sections 3.4.2, 4.4.2, or 4.5.1. The Banks or any such holder receiving any such amount shall purchase for cash from each of the other Banks an interest in such Bank’s Loans in such amount as shall result in a ratable participation by the Banks and each such holder in the aggregate unpaid amount under the Notes, provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the Bank or the holder making such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by law (including court order) to be paid by the Bank or the holder making such purchase.

9.14 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks, subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following the Administrative Agent’s notice to the Banks of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent shall appoint, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time as the Required Banks appoint and the Borrower consent to the appointment of a successor agent. Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of any Administrative Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to the benefit of such former Administrative Agent and such former Administrative 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 Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

9.15 Administrative Agent’s Fee.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a letter (the “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

9.16 Availability of Funds.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank prior to the date and time upon which a Loan is to be made that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s portion of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made or will make such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent by such Bank, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank 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 Administrative Agent recovers such amount, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable interest rate in respect of the Loan.

9.17 Calculations.

In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Bank whether in respect of the Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the Banks under this Agreement. In the event an error in computing any amount payable to any Bank is made, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each affected Bank shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

9.18 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that neither such Bank, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Bank’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: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

9.19 Beneficiaries.

Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and the Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower.

Except for sales of assets permitted by Section 7.2.7 [Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries], release any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement and (i) if no Security Event exists or is continuing, release all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor or (ii) if a Security Event exists and is continuing, release any Collateral consisting of capital stock or other ownership interests of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or Subsidiary of the Borrower or Guarantor, or assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor which are Collateral, or release any other assets which are not Collateral if such assets consist of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to release its Liens on any Collateral sold pursuant to a sale that is permitted by Section 7.2.7 and to the extent such sale includes all of the stock of a Guarantor, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release the Guarantor from its Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement and other applicable Loan Documents and (ii) the parties acknowledge that any assets sold pursuant to Section 7.2.7 are sold free and clear of, and the purchaser thereof does not assume any obligations of the seller to the Administrative Agent and the Banks under the Credit Agreement and the Notes and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver appropriate documents or instruments evidencing or confirming the foregoing.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests, rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent or as the issuer of Letters of Credit or the provider of the Swing Loans shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.

10.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required.

No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future 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 rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Banks under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents 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 Bank 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 such writing.

10.3 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Banks by the Borrower; Taxes.

The Borrower agrees unconditionally upon demand to pay or reimburse to each Bank (other than the Administrative Agent, as to which the Borrower’s Obligations are set forth in Section 9.5) and to save such Bank harmless against (i) liability for the payment of all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees and expenses of outside counsel for each Bank except with respect to (a) and (b) below), incurred by such Bank

(a) in connection with the 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, and (d) in any workout, 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, 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 Bank, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Bank hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not 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 Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, 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 the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower), or (C) if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Banks will attempt to minimize the fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Banks which are subject to reimbursement by the Borrower hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm to represent the Banks and the Administrative Agent if appropriate under the circumstances. The Borrower agrees unconditionally to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by the Administrative Agent or any Bank to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Borrower agrees unconditionally to save the Administrative Agent and the Banks 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.

Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day (except as provided in Section 3.2 with respect to Interest Periods under the Euro-Rate Option), and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

Notional funding offices may be selected by each Bank without regard to the Bank’s actual methods of making, maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of funding actually used by or available to such Bank.

10.5.2 Actual Funding.

Each Bank shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.5.2.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights and Obligations hereunder or any interest herein. Each Bank may, at its own cost, make assignments of or sell participations in all or any part of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans made by it to one or more banks or other financial institutions, subject to the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and provided that assignments may not be made in amounts less than $5,000,000. In the case of an assignment, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it had been a signatory Bank hereunder, the Commitments in Section 2.1 shall be adjusted accordingly, and upon surrender of any Note subject to such assignment, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a new Note to the assignee in an amount equal to the amount of the Revolving Credit

Commitment assumed by it and a new Revolving Credit Note to the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder. The assigning Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent a service fee in the amount of $3,500 for each assignment. In the case of a participation, the selling Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the participant’s identity, and the participant shall only have the rights specified in Section 8.2.3 (the participant’s rights against such Bank in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto and not to include any voting rights except with respect to changes of the type referenced in clauses 10.1.1., 10.1.2. or 10.1.3 under Section 10.1), all of such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall remain unchanged, and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation. Any assignee or participant which is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the form of certificate described in Section 10.17 relating to federal income tax withholding. Each Bank may furnish any publicly available information concerning the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any other information concerning the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Bank from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees or participants), provided that such assignees and participants agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 10.12.

under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations. Further, the Administrative Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of any Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Pricing levels are determined quarterly on the basis of the Total Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio set forth in the compliance certificates submitted under Section 7.3.3. which shall be on a pro forma basis to take into account acquisitions made during such quarter, as more specifically described in Section 7.2.6(ii) and the requirements set forth in the definition of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Changes in pricing levels will become effective on the fifth Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a compliance certificate indicating a change in the Total Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio which requires a change in pricing level. Pricing will commence and continue at Level III from the Closing Date until the date on which the pricing shall change pursuant to the terms of this Pricing Grid.
