Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender holding any Revolving Credit Commitment severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans in either Dollars or one or more Optional Currencies to the Borrowers at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof to the Expiration Date, provided that (i) after giving effect to each such Loan the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) no Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be made in an Optional Currency. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, subject to Section 10.18 (if applicable), shall repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, together with all accrued interest thereon and all fees and other amounts owing under any of the Loan Documents relating thereto on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in connection with the terms hereof.

2.1.1.2 Discretionary Commitment Increase.

Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default is then occurring or would be caused thereby, at any time prior to the Expiration Date and subsequent to the Closing Date, the Borrowers may request from time to time in writing to the Administrative Agent that the Revolving Credit Commitments be increased, by an amount being an integral multiple of $5,000,000.00 and in an aggregate amount not greater than $100,000,000.00, according to the following procedures:

(i) The Borrowers shall offer for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days the existing Lenders the opportunity to participate in any such increased amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (such increased amount being referred to as the “Commitment Increase Amount”) in accordance with each Lender’s Ratable Share (each participating Lender being referred to as an “Increasing Lender”). The existing Lenders shall be under no obligation to participate in any such Commitment Increase Amounts and any agreement by any Lender to so participate will be in the sole discretion of such Lender.

(ii) If any Lender declines to commit to its Ratable Share of any such Commitment Increase Amount (such declined portion of the Commitment Increase Amount being referred to as a “Declined Share”), then the Administrative Agent may join a new bank(s) or financial institution(s) to this Agreement, which shall be acceptable to the Borrowers, or the Borrowers may propose a new bank(s) or financial institution(s) which shall

be approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion without unreasonable delay (each such bank or financial institution, an “Augmenting Lender”), or permit an Increasing Lender which has already agreed to commit to its Ratable Share of any such Commitment Increase Amount, to commit to the Declined Share or portion thereof, with respect to any Augmenting Lender, in an amount of at least $5,000,000. Each Augmenting Lender committing to a Declined Share, or a portion thereof, shall join this Agreement as a Lender by entering into a bank joinder and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Augmenting Lender, pursuant to which such Augmenting Lender will become a Lender as of the effective date thereof.

(iii) On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated herein (A) each Increasing Lender and new Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the other Lenders, such amounts, in immediately available funds, as the Administrative Agent shall determine as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Ratable Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments occasioned by the addition of the Increasing Lender(s) or Augmenting Lender(s), or both, as the case may be) and (B) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of Revolving Credit Loans subject to the same interest rate options provided herein, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrowers in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence in respect of each Revolving Credit Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.8 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders any and all Notes and other documents, instruments, and agreements necessary or advisable in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent to evidence or document the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, including any amendments hereto, and each of the Lenders and each of the Loan Parties hereby provides its consent hereto and thereto, and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Company, to execute any such documents, instruments, and agreements consistent with the terms of this Section on its behalf without the necessity of any further consent of any Lender or Loan Party.

2.1.2 Swing Loan Commitment.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, and in order to facilitate loans and repayments between Settlement Dates, PNC may, at its option, cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loans (the “Swing Loans”) to the Borrowers at any time or from time to

time after the date hereof to, but not including, the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of $30,000,000.00 (the “Swing Loan Commitment”), provided that the aggregate principal amount of PNC’s Swing Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans of all the Lenders at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.2.

2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans.

Each 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 Dollar Equivalent amount of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrowers at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrowers to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.

2.3 Commitment Fees.

Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each Lender, as consideration for such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and actual days elapsed) on the average daily difference between the amount of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as the same may be constituted from time to time (for purposes of this computation, PNC’s Swing Loans shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts under its Revolving Credit Commitment) and (ii) the sum of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding plus its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case as determined during the preceding fiscal quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending on the Expiration Date). All Commitment Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each July, October, January and April after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Loan.

2.4 Revolving Credit Loan Requests.

2.4.1 Revolving Credit Loan Requests.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans, or renew or convert the Interest Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 3.2, by delivering to the Administrative Agent, not later than 10:30 a.m., Pittsburgh time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of

Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars to which the Euro-Rate Option applies or the conversion to or the renewal of the Euro-Rate Option for any such Loans and four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency or the date of conversion to or renewal of the Euro-Rate Option for Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency and (ii) on either the proposed Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) with respect to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last day of the preceding Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any Loan, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4 or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans (expressed in the currency in which such Loans shall be funded) comprising each Borrowing Tranche, the Dollar Equivalent amount of which shall be in integral multiples of $100,000.00 and not less than $2,000,000.00 for each Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies and not less than the lesser of $2,000,000.00 and the maximum amount available for Borrowing Tranches to which the Base Rate Option applies; (iii) whether the Euro-Rate Option or Base Rate Option shall apply to the proposed Revolving Credit Loans comprising the applicable Borrowing Tranche; (iv) the currency in which such Loans shall be funded if the Borrowers are electing the Euro-Rate Option; and (v) in the case of a Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies, an appropriate Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing Tranche.

2.4.2 Swing Loan Requests.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request PNC to make Swing Loans by delivery to PNC not later than 10:30 a.m. Pittsburgh time on the proposed Borrowing Date of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4 hereto or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being understood that PNC may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Swing Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the principal amount of such Swing Loan, which shall be not less than $500,000.00.

2.5 Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent; Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.

2.5.1 Making Revolving Credit Loans.

Promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of its receipt of such 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); (iii) the apportionment among the Lenders of such Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2; and (iv) the currency in which Revolving Credit Loan is requested. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan in the requested currency to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 6.2, fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers 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 Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative 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 2.5.2.

2.5.2 Making Swing Loans.

So long as PNC elects to make Swing Loans, PNC shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4.2, fund such Swing Loan to the applicable Borrower(s) in Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 3:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the applicable Borrowing Date.

2.5.3 Presumptions by the Administrative Agent.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available in the applicable currency on such date in accordance with Section 2.5.1 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available in the applicable currency to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative 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 Borrowers) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrowers and ending on the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

2.5.4 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans.

The Borrowers shall repay the Revolving Credit Loans together with all outstanding interest thereon on the Expiration Date.

2.5.5 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.

PNC may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if PNC so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make any Revolving Credit Loan if after giving effect thereto, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent amount of its Revolving Credit Loans plus such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds its Revolving Credit Commitment. 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 2.4.1 without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. PNC shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.5.5 and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 6.2 are then satisfied) by the time PNC so requests, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m. Pittsburgh time on the next Business Day after the date the Lenders receive such notice from PNC.

2.6 Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note.

The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, to the extent requested pursuant to Section 4.11, a Revolving Credit Note dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Loans made to it by PNC together with interest thereon shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the Swing Loan Note payable to the order of PNC in a face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment.

2.7 Utilization of Commitments in Optional Currencies.

2.7.1 Periodic Computations of Dollar Equivalent Amounts of Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations.

The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of (i) proposed Letters of Credit to be denominated in an Optional Currency as of the requested Borrowing Date or date of issuance, as the case may be, (ii) Letter of Credit Obligations denominated in an Optional Currency as of the last Business Day of each month, and (iii) outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency as of the end of each Interest Period (each such date under clauses (i) through (iii), a “Computation Date”).

2.7.2 Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund New Loans.

The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrowers which are denominated in an Optional Currency if any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh time) four (4) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans that such Lender cannot provide its Ratable Share of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers no later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh time) three (3) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans that the Optional Currency is not then available for such Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same and the Lenders shall not make such Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrowers under their Loan Request.

2.7.3 Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund Renewals of the Euro-Rate Option.

If the Borrowers deliver a Loan Request requesting that the Lenders renew the Euro-Rate Option with respect to an outstanding Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to renew such Euro-Rate Option if any Lender delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh time) four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such renewal that such Lender cannot continue to provide Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers no later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh time) three (3) Business Days prior to the renewal date that the renewal of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same. If the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrowers that any such continuation of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, any notice of renewal with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn, and such Loans shall be redenominated into Loans in Dollars at the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option, at the Company’s option on behalf of the Borrowers (subject, in the case of the Euro-Rate Option, to compliance with Section 2.4.), with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any such redenomination, and in such notice, the Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency as of the applicable Computation Date with respect thereto and such Lender’s Ratable Share thereof.

2.7.4 European Monetary Union.

2.7.4.1 Payments In Euros Under Certain Circumstances.

If (i) any Optional Currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the Euro or (ii) any Optional Currency and the Euro are at the same time recognized by any governmental authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request in a notice delivered to the Borrowers, then any amount payable hereunder by any party hereto in such Optional Currency shall instead by payable in the Euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such Optional Currency to the Euro at the exchange rate established by that nation for the purpose of implementing the replacement of the relevant Optional Currency by the Euro (and the provisions governing payments in Optional Currencies in this Agreement shall apply to such payment in the Euro as if such payment in the Euro were a payment in an Optional Currency). Prior to the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, each amount payable hereunder in any Optional Currency will, except as otherwise provided herein, continue to be payable only in that currency.

2.7.4.2 Additional Compensation Under Certain Circumstances.

The Borrowers agree, at the request of any Lender, to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or reduction in return that such Lender shall reasonably determine shall be incurred or sustained by such Lender as a result of the replacement of any Optional Currency by the Euro and that would not have been incurred or sustained but for the transactions provided for herein. A certificate of any Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error so long as such determination is made on a reasonable basis. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

2.7.5 Requests for Additional Optional Currencies.

The Borrowers may deliver to the Administrative Agent a written request that Revolving Credit Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in addition to the currencies specified in the definition of “Optional Currency” herein provided that such currency must be freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets, freely transferable, freely convertible into Dollars and available to the Lenders in the Relevant Interbank Market. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such request promptly after the Administrative Agent receives such request. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may grant or accept such request in their sole discretion. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the acceptance or rejection by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of the Borrowers’ request. The requested currency shall be approved as an Optional Currency hereunder only if the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders approve of the Borrowers’ request.

2.8 Use of Proceeds.

The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for (i) refinancing amounts outstanding under the Prior Senior Credit Facility, and (ii) general corporate purposes, including financing working capital and Permitted Acquisitions.

2.9 Letter of Credit Subfacility.

2.9.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

The Borrowers may request the issuance of a letter of credit (each such letter of credit and each Existing Letter of Credit, a “Letter of Credit”) on behalf of itself, another Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries (provided that a Loan Party shall be the obligor with respect thereto) by delivering or having such other Loan Party deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed application and agreement for letters of credit in such form as the Administrative Agent may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, at least four (4) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be a Standby Letter of Credit or Commercial Letter of Credit and may be denominated in either Dollars or an Optional Currency. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9, the Administrative Agent or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates will issue a Letter of Credit provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no event expire later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date and providing that in no event shall (i) the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, $30,000,000.00, or (ii) the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder.

2.9.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

The Borrowers shall pay in Dollars (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Revolving Credit Loans subject to the Euro-Rate Option, per annum, and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or the account of any applicable Issuing Lender, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum (each computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily average Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations during the preceding fiscal quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the Expiration Date) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing with the first day of each July, October, January and April following issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Expiration Date. The Borrowers shall also pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars 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.

2.9.3 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

2.9.3.1 Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit (and with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit, on the Closing Date), each Lender 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 Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

2.9.3.2 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 Borrowers. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent, for its benefit or the benefit of a Lender who has issued an Existing Letter of Credit (an “Issuing Lender”), as applicable, shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the Administrative Agent in Dollars 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, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount so paid by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender. In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender for the full Dollar Equivalent 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 Lender thereof, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Lenders in Dollars under the Base Rate Option in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing 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 other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.2 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.

2.9.3.3 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.2 make available to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit or the benefit of the applicable Issuing Lender, an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the drawing (whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 shall have been satisfied), whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.3.4) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Dollar

Equivalent amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) 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 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 Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3.3.

2.9.3.4 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.9.3.2, because of the Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 other than any notice requirements or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent 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 Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.9.3.3 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 Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.9.3.

2.9.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.

2.9.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender for its account (as applicable) of immediately available funds from the Borrowers (i) in payment of any Letter of Credit Borrowing made by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender shall retain the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Administrative Agent.

2.9.4.2 If the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender 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 or such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.4.1 in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative

Agent, for its account or the account of such Issuing Lender (as applicable), the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender (as applicable) plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

2.9.5 Documentation.

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

2.9.6 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 and each Issuing Lender 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.

2.9.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.

(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provisions of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Administrative Agent or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates or any Issuing Lender or any of an Issuing Lender’s Affiliates has been notified thereof;

2.9.8 Indemnity.

In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 10.3, the Borrowers hereby agree (subject to Section 10.18 for the avoidance of doubt, if applicable) to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent and any of Administrative Agent’s Affiliates and each Issuing Lender and any of the Issuing Lenders’ respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Parties”), 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 any of the Letter of Credit Parties may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a sole result of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Letter of Credit Parties as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the wrongful dishonor by any of the Letter of Credit Parties 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 Official Body.

2.9.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

As between any Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and between any Loan Party and an Issuing Lender, or such Issuing Lender’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 and each Issuing Lender 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, or the applicable Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’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, or the applicable Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body, 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, or the applicable Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender from liability for the Administrative Agent’s or such Issuing Lender’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, or the applicable Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’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, each Issuing Lender and each of their respective Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender 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, such Issuing Lender or such 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, such Issuing Lender or such 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 of 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, or the applicable Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’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, or the applicable Issuing Lender or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, under any resulting liability to the Borrowers or any Lender.

2.10 Currency Repayments.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the entire amount of principal of and interest on any Revolving Credit Loan made in an Optional Currency shall be repaid in the same Optional Currency in which such Loan was made, provided, however, that if it is impossible or illegal for the Borrowers to effect payment of a Revolving Credit Loan in the Optional Currency in which such Loan was made, or if the Borrowers default in their obligations to do so, the Required Lenders may at their option permit such payment to be made (i) at and to a different location, subsidiary, affiliate or correspondent of Administrative Agent, (ii) in the Equivalent Amount of Dollars or (iii) in an Equivalent Amount of such other currency (freely convertible into Dollars) as the Required Lenders may solely at their option designate. Upon any events described in (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Borrowers shall make such payment, and the Borrowers agree to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss incurred by any Lender arising from the cost to such Lender of any premium, any costs of exchange, the cost of hedging and covering the Optional Currency in which such Loan was originally made, and from any change in the value of Dollars, or such other currency, in relation to the Optional Currency that was due and owing. Such loss shall be calculated for the period commencing with the first day of the Interest Period for such Loan and continuing through the date of payment thereof. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

2.11 Optional Currency Amounts.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, with respect to notices by the Borrowers for Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency or voluntary prepayments of less than the full amount of an Optional Currency

Borrowing Tranche, engage in reasonable rounding of the Optional Currency amounts requested to be loaned or repaid; and, in such event, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such rounded amounts and the Borrowers’ request or notice shall thereby be deemed to reflect such rounded amounts.

2.12 Reduction of Commitment.

The Company, on behalf of all Borrowers, shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to permanently reduce, in whole multiples of $5,000,000 of principal, or terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments without penalty or premium, except as hereinafter set forth, provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by (a) the payment in full of any Commitment Fee then accrued on the amount of such reduction or termination and (b) prepayment of the Revolving Credit Notes, together with the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 4.8 hereof), to the extent that the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage then outstanding exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced or terminated. From the effective date of any such reduction or termination the obligations of the Borrowers to pay the Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.3 shall correspondingly be reduced or cease.

2.13 Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3;

(ii) the Commitment and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iii) if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(a) all or any part of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent that (x) the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments, and (y) no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

(b) if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swing Loans, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in a deposit account held at the Administrative Agent for so long as such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding;

(c) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (b) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are cash collateralized;

(d) if the Letter of Credit Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9.2 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Share; and

(e) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.9.2 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iv) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.13(iii)(b), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.13(iii)(a) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, or (ii) PNC or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, PNC and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and the Ratable Share of the Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share; provided, however, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to non-defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

3. INTEREST RATES

3.1 Interest Rate Options.

The Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 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. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan made in an Optional Currency shall be paid by the Borrowers in such Optional Currency. Swing Loans shall bear interest at a rate to be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Company, on behalf of all Borrowers.

3.1.1 Interest Rate Options.

The Borrowers shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Loans (subject to the provisions above regarding Swing Loans), except that no Loan to which a Base Rate shall apply may be made in an Optional Currency:

(i) Base Rate Option. A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or

(ii) Euro-Rate Option. A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed), provided that, for Revolving Credit Loans made in an Optional Currency for which a 365-day basis is the only market practice available to the Administrative Agent, such rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

3.1.2 Rate Quotations.

The Borrowers 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 interest rates and the applicable currency exchange rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest or the calculation of Equivalent Amounts which thereafter are actually in effect when the election is made.

3.2 Interest Periods.

At any time when the Borrowers shall select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof by delivering a Loan Request at least four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Interest Rate Option, with respect to an Optional Currency Loan, and three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Interest Rate Option, with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars. 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:

3.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche.

The Dollar Equivalent amount of each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Loans shall be in integral multiples of $100,000.00 and not less than $2,000,000.00; and

3.2.2 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.

3.3 Interest After Default.

To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived:

3.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.

The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9.2 or Section 3.1, respectively, shall at the request of the Administrative Agent be increased, by 2.0% per annum; and

3.3.2 Other Obligations.

Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall at the request of the Administrative Agent 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.

3.3.3 Acknowledgment.

The Borrowers acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 3.3 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; and all such interest shall be payable by the Borrowers upon demand by the Administrative Agent.

3.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

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

(ii) a contingency has occurred affecting the interbank eurodollar market relating to the Euro-Rate and reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall have the rights specified in Sections 3.4.3 and 4.4.2 (as applicable).

3.4.2 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), or

(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 or in the Optional Currency (as applicable) 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 Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall have the rights specified in Sections 3.4.3 and 4.4.2 (as applicable).

3.4.3 Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights.

In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrowers thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4.2 above, such Lender 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 Lenders and the Borrowers. 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 Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrowers to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option or select an Optional Currency (as applicable) shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrowers, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 3.4.1 and the Borrowers have 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 Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2, the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrowers’ indemnification Obligations under Section 4.8, as to any Loan of the Lender to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either (i) as applicable, convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or select a different Optional Currency or Dollars, or (ii) prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 4.4. Absent due notice from the Borrowers 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 Borrowers fail to select a new Interest Period or Optional Currency 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 3.2, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have converted or continued, as applicable, such Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option for an Interest Period of one (1) month and, if required by the Administrative Agent, converted such Borrowing Tranche to a Loan in Dollars, as applicable, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

3.6 Canadian Interest Act Disclosure.

For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

3.7 Canadian Usury Provision.

If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

4. PAYMENTS

4.1 Payments.

All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of PNC with respect to the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Loans in Dollars except that payments of principal or interest shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds, provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day

received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in Dollars, or the Overnight Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in an Optional Currency, with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative 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 (including the Equivalent Amounts of the applicable currencies where such computations are required) and shall be deemed an “account stated.”

4.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.

Each borrowing of Revolving Credit 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 Borrowers with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for the Administrative Agent’s Fee and the fronting fee for Letters of Credit referred to in Section 2.9.2) or amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided in Section 3.4.3 in the case of an event specified in Sections 3.4, 4.4.2 or 4.8) 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, as applicable of each Lender. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrowers of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrowers with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC.

4.3 Interest Payment Dates.

Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each July, October, January and April after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Notes. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in the currency in which such Loan was made 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 4.5 shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made and 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 in the currency in which such Loan was made on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

4.4 Voluntary Prepayments; Replacement of Lender; Change of Lending Office.

4.4.1 Right to Prepay.

The Borrowers shall have the right, at their option, from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.4.2 below or in Section 4.8) in the currency in which such Loan was made:

(i) at any time with respect to any Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies,

(ii) at any time with respect to any Loan in any Optional Currency, subject to Section 4.8,

(iii) at any time with respect to Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, subject to Section 4.8, or

(iv) on the date specified in a notice by any Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 with respect to any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies.

Whenever the Borrowers desire to prepay any part of the Loans, the Company, on behalf of all Borrowers, shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. Pittsburgh time: (i) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans made in Dollars and (ii) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of any Loans in an Optional Currency, and (iii) on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, in each case setting forth the following information:

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

(y) the Borrowing Tranche designated for prepayment, if applicable; and

(z) the total principal amount and currency of such prepayment, the Dollar Equivalent amount of which shall not be less than $500,000.00 for any Swing Loan or $1,000,000.00 for any Revolving Credit Loan or such lesser amount as may be outstanding.

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 in the currency in which such Loans was made. Except as provided in Section 3.4.3, if the Borrowers prepay a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrowers are 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, and then to Optional Currency Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrowers’ Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 4.8. Revolving Credit Loan prepayments shall not result in an reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments unless the Borrowers have elected to reduce such Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12.

4.4.2 Replacement of a Lender.

In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 3.4.1, (ii) requests compensation under Section 4.6.1, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.7, (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 10.1 (any occurrence under the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) being referred to in this Section 4.4.1 as a “Defaulting Lender Event”), then the Borrowers may, in their discretion and at their sole expense, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the applicable Defaulting Lender Event (and if there are multiple Defaulting Lender Events, within ninety (90) days of the first such Defaulting Lender Event to occur), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.11), all of its interests, rights (other than existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.6 or 4.7) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.11;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.9.8) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.6.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.7, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a replacement of the Administrative Agent may only be effectuated pursuant to Section 9.10.

In connection with the Borrowers’ exercise of their rights under this Section 4.4.2, the Revolving Credit Commitment of the applicable Defaulting Lender may be provided by one or more of the remaining Lenders (who are not then Defaulting Lenders) or an acceptable new bank(s) or financial institution(s) which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion without unreasonable delay. Each new lender committing to a Revolving Credit Commitment in connection therewith shall join this Agreement as a Lender by entering into a bank joinder and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the Revolving Credit Commitment of such new lender, pursuant to which such new lender will become a Lender as of the effective date thereof.

4.4.3 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 3.4.2 or 4.6.1 with respect to such Lender, it will if requested by the Borrowers, 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 4.4.3 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender provided in this Agreement.

4.5 Mandatory Prepayments.

4.5.1 Currency Fluctuations.

If on any Computation Date the sum of the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage is greater than the Revolving Credit Commitments as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the same. The Borrowers shall pay or prepay the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to Borrowers’ indemnity obligations contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 4.6.2) or Swing Loans within three (3) Business Days after receiving such notice such that the sum of the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage no longer exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.

4.5.2 Application Among Interest Rate Options.

All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the applicable Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Dollar Loans denominated in Dollars and subject to a Euro-Rate Option and then to Loans of Optional Currencies subject to the Euro-Rate Option, and the Borrowers will be subject to the indemnity obligation set forth in Section 4.8.

4.6 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

4.6.1 Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc.

If any change in any Law or guideline or in any 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:

(i) 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 Lender or any Lending Office of any Lender, or

(ii) 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 Lender, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of any Lender or any Lending Office of any Lender 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 Lender or its Lending Office 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 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of the amount determined in good faith (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 by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

4.6.2 Indemnity.

In addition to the compensation required by Section 4.6.1, the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender 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 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),

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

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

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrowers of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender 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 Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

4.7 Taxes.

4.7.1 No Deductions.

All payments made to the Lenders and/or Administrative Agent by the Borrowers hereunder and under each Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Lender and all income and franchise taxes that would not have been imposed but for such Lender having a past or present connection with a jurisdiction imposing such taxes other than entering into this Agreement and performing its obligations and enforcing its rights thereunder(all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”) unless such deduction is required by Law (and then subject to the following sentence). If the Borrowers shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the sum payable under such Note shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.8.1) each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law.

4.7.2 Stamp Taxes.

In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording or filing taxes or any other excise or property taxes or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

4.7.3 Indemnification for Taxes Paid by a Lender.

The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.8.3) paid by any Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date a Lender makes written demand therefor, but in no event shall such indemnification be required to be made more than ten (10) Business Days before the date such Taxes or Other Taxes are due to the relevant taxing authority.

4.7.4 Certificate.

Within 30 days after the date of any payment of any Taxes by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.8, the Borrowers shall notify the Lenders thereof, and thereafter, if so requested by any Lender, furnish to each Lender, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, if available, or, if not available, another reasonable form of confirmation of such payment if it is requested by any Lender.

4.7.5 Exclusions, etc.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the forms provided pursuant to Section 10.17 by a Lender, assignee or participant at the time such Person first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Person provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that the term Taxes shall include United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to an assignee or participant of a Lender only to the extent that, at the effective date of the agreement or other transaction pursuant to which such assignee or participant becomes a party to this Agreement, such Lender was entitled to payments under Section 4.8.1 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date. For any period with respect to which a Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender (or a financial institution through which such Lender, assignee or participant has directed any payment to be made) has failed to comply with Section 10.17, such Lender, assignee or participant shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.8 with respect to any Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

4.7.6 Change of Lending Office, etc.

Any Person claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.8 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with any legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any document or certificate reasonably requested by a Borrower or change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office with respect to this Agreement, if the filing of such document or certificate, or the making of such a change, would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.8 that may thereafter accrue.

4.7.7 Survival.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in Sections 4.8.1 through 4.8.4 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder.

4.7.8 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 Administrative Agent, each other Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender) shall deliver to each of the Company and the Administrative 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 Company and the Administrative 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 Borrowers hereunder for the account of such Lender; (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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent). Each Lender, assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to each of the Company and the Administrative 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or state thereof (and, upon the written request of the

Administrative Agent, any financial institution through which any such Lender, assignee or participant has directed any payment to be made) shall enter into and comply with any applicable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement or agreement concerning U.S. accounts that it maintains or concerning U.S. ownership of such Lender, assignee or participant, or any substantially similar requirement or agreement, if entering into or complying with such requirement or agreement is required by statute or regulation of the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from any tax, assessment or other governmental charge. Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Administrative 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 U.S. Federal tax Law. Further, the Administrative 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.

4.8 Indemnity.

In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 4.6 or Section 4.7, the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

4.9 Interbank Market Presumption.

For all purposes of this Agreement and each Note with respect to any aspects of the Euro-Rate, any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option or any Optional Currency, each Lender and Administrative Agent shall be presumed to have obtained rates, funding, currencies, deposits, and the like in the Relevant Interbank Market regardless of whether it did so or not; and, each Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s determination of amounts payable under, and actions required or authorized by, Section 4.8 shall be calculated, at each Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s option, as though each Lender and Administrative Agent funded each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option through the purchase of deposits of the types and maturities corresponding to the deposits used as a reference in accordance with the terms hereof in determining the Euro-Rate applicable to such Loans, whether in fact that is the case.

4.10 Judgment Currency.

4.10.1 Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments.

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under a Note in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures each Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

4.10.2 Indemnity in Certain Events.

The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due from the Borrowers to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Lender against such loss. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

4.11 Requests for Notes.

Upon the request of any Lender, the Loans made by such Lender may be evidenced by a Note (or Notes) as set forth in Section 2.6.

4.12 Settlement Date Procedures.

In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and PNC may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.4.2 hereof during the period between Settlement Dates. Not later than 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on any Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a “Required Share”) as of such date. Prior to 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on such Settlement Date, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent may at its option effect settlement on any Business Day. These settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 4.12 shall relieve the Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a Settlement Date. The Administrative Agent may, at any time at its option, for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and, each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.

4.13 Borrowers’ Agent.

Each Borrower hereby designates the Company as its representative and agent (in such capacity, the “Borrower Agent”) under the Loan Documents, including for requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of financial reports, and requests for waivers. The Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

104

powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

9.2 Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.4 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

105

9.5 No Other Duties, etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner, syndication agent and documentation agent titles listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder.

9.6 Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.1 and 8.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

106

9.7 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.8 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 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 Administrative Agent, the Borrowers 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 or the Overnight Rate if such computation relates to a Revolving Credit Loan made in an Optional Currency.

9.9 Sharing of Payments.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

107

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations 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 Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 9.9 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents as in effect from time to time or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 9.9 shall apply).

Each Loan Party agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of payment (including setoff, but subject to Section 8.2.3) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

9.10 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrowers (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent with, if no Potential Default or Event of Default is occurring, the approval of the Company in its reasonable discretion without unreasonable delay; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment (or been approved for such appointment pursuant to the terms hereof), then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this

108

Section 9.10. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 9 and Section 9.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 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 such writing.

10.3.2 Indemnification of the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers.

The Borrowers, on a joint and several basis (subject to Section 10.18 for the avoidance of doubt, if applicable), unconditionally agree to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and hold the Administrative Agent harmless against (a) liability for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including fees and expenses of counsel (including the allocated costs of staff 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 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 (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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrowers 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 Borrowers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, 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 Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties, provided that such reimbursement obligation shall be limited to one (1) audit in each fiscal year so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing. This Section 10.3.2 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

112

10.3.3 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Lenders by the Borrowers.

The Borrowers, on a joint and several basis (subject to Section 10.18 for the avoidance of doubt, if applicable), agree unconditionally upon demand to pay or reimburse to each Lender (other than the Administrative Agent, as to which the Borrowers’ Obligations are set forth in Section 10.3.2) and to save such Lender harmless against (i) liability for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for each Lender except with respect to (a) and (b) below), incurred by such Lender (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 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, or (ii) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than taxes) 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Lender hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrowers 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 Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (B) if the Borrowers were not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrowers 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 Borrowers, which shall not be 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 Borrowers hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm to represent the Lenders and the Administrative Agent if appropriate under the circumstances. This Section 10.3.3 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

10.3.4 Reimbursement by Lenders.

To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 10.3.1 or 10.3.2 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,

113

liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

10.3.5 Payments.

All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

10.4 Holidays.

Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next 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 be included in computing interest and fees, except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. 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, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

10.5 Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

10.5.1 Notional Funding.

Each Lender shall have the right from time to time, without notice to the Borrowers, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of this Section 10.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is directly or indirectly 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 funded any Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option applies at any time, provided that immediately following (on the assumption that a payment were then due from the Borrowers to such other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrowers would not be under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 4.6 than it would have been in the absence of such change. Notional funding offices may be selected by each Lender without regard to such Lender’s actual methods of making, maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of funding actually used by or available to such Lender.

10.5.2 Actual Funding.

Each Lender shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain any Loan or Letter of Credit Borrowing by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.5.2. If any Lender causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowing hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except

114

where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowing to the same extent as if such Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowing 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 or Letter of Credit Borrowing hereunder cause such Lender or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrowers hereunder or require the Borrowers to pay any other compensation to any Lender (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 4.6) which would otherwise not be incurred.

10.6 Notices; Lending Offices.

Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section 10.6 only, a “Notice”) to be given to or made upon any party hereto under any provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which includes means of electronic transmission (i.e., “e-mail”) or facsimile transmission or by setting forth such Notice on a site on the World Wide Web (a “Website Posting”) if Notice of such Website Posting (including the information necessary to access such site) has previously been delivered to the applicable parties hereto by another means set forth in this Section 10.6) in accordance with this Section 10.6. Any such Notice must be delivered to the applicable parties hereto at the addresses and numbers set forth under their respective names on Schedule 1.1(B) hereof or in accordance with any subsequent unrevoked Notice from any such party that is given in accordance with this Section 10.6. Any Notice shall be effective:

(i) In the case of hand-delivery, when delivered;

(ii) If given by mail, four days after such Notice is deposited with the United States Postal Service, with first-class postage prepaid, return receipt requested;

(iii) In the case of a telephonic Notice, when a party is contacted by telephone, if delivery of such telephonic Notice is confirmed no later than the next Business Day by hand delivery, a facsimile or electronic transmission, a Website Posting or overnight courier delivery of a confirmatory notice (received at or before noon on such next Business Day);

(iv) In the case of a facsimile transmission, when sent to the applicable party’s facsimile machine’s telephone number if the party sending such Notice receives confirmation of the delivery thereof from its own facsimile machine;

115

Any Lender giving a Notice to a Loan Party shall concurrently send a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders of its receipt of such Notice. Schedule 1.1(B) lists the Lending Offices of each Lender. Each Lender may change its respective Lending Office by written Notice to the Administrative Agent and other Lenders.

10.7 Severability.

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

10.8 Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each standby Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement shall be subject either to the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (“UCP”) or the rules of the International Standby Practices (ICC Publication Number 590), as determined by the issuing Lender, and each trade Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement shall be subject to the UCP, and in each case to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the Laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

10.9 Prior Understanding.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto and thereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein, including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments.

10.10 Duration; Survival.

All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the making of Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the making of Loans, issuance of Letters of Credit, or payment in full of the Loans. All covenants and agreements of the Loan Parties contained herein shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof so long as the Borrowers may borrow or request Letters of Credit hereunder and until termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Obligations (other than non-assessed contingent reimbursement obligations) and expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit. Sections 4 and 10.3 shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of the Commitments. In addition, all covenants and agreements of the Borrowers and the Lenders contained herein shall, if any related payment is later declared to be a fraudulent

116

conveyance or a preference in any respect, set aside or required to be paid to a debtor in possession, any secured party, receiver or similar Person, or otherwise voided or nullified (a “Voided Payment”), be reinstated and deemed to have survived payment in full of the Obligations, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of the Commitments, to the extent such reinstatement and survival is necessary for the Administrative Agent to recover such Voided Payment.

10.11 Successors and Assigns.

10.11.1 Successors and Assigns Generally.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11.2, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.11.5 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.11.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.11.2 Assignments by Lenders.

Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

i. in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

ii. in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 10.11.2, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the

117

Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and:

iii. the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

iv. the consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent.

(v) No Assignment to Borrowers. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.11.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of

118

Sections 3.4, 4.6 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.11.2 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.11.4.

10.11.3 Register.

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

10.11.4 Participations.

Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Section 10.1.1, 10.1.2 or 10.1.3) that directly affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, if applicable, be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.4, 4.6, 10.3 and 4.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.7) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.11.2; provided that (A) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.4.2 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.11.2; and (B) such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.4, 4.6 or 4.7, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the

119

Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.4.2 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall, if applicable, be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.2.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.9 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person (other than the Borrowers) except to the extent that such disclosure is either necessary for such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation to be, or necessary to establish that such obligation is, in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.7, however, unless all information and documents required by Section 4.7 with respect to such Participant have been provided to the Borrower. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

10.11.5 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally.

Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

10.12 Confidentiality.

10.12.1 General.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders each agree to keep confidential all information obtained from any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries which is nonpublic and confidential or proprietary in nature (including any information the Borrowers specifically designate as confidential), except as provided below, and to use such information only in connection with their respective capacities under this Agreement and for the purposes contemplated hereby. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be permitted to disclose such information (i) to outside legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors who need to know such information in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement, subject to instruction to such Persons to maintain the confidentiality, (ii) to assignees and participants as contemplated by Section 10.11, and prospective assignees and participants

120

10.18 Nature of Foreign Borrower Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding the joint and several liability of the Foreign Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and notwithstanding any other provision herein and in any other Loan Document, all obligations and liabilities of each Foreign Borrower under this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents on account of principal and interest under the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and Letters of Credit Borrowings shall be limited to the principal amount advanced to such Foreign Borrower or its Subsidiaries and reimbursement of draws under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower or its Subsidiaries and, in each case, interest thereon. Each Foreign Borrower shall be liable only for its pro rata share of all fees and expenses and other sums due hereunder (other than principal and interest on the Loans) based upon the ratio of the sum of Loans outstanding to and Letters of Credit issued for such Foreign Borrower to the total amount of Loans outstanding and Letters of Credit issued hereunder.

(b) Any Foreign Borrower may from time to time deliver a termination notice to the Administrative Agent requesting that it no longer be a party hereto. Such termination shall be effective two Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent so long as all obligations of such Foreign Borrower hereunder have been paid in full (including principal, interest and other amounts) and no Letter of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such Foreign Borrower is outstanding; provided that, to the extent this Agreement provides for the survival of certain provisions upon termination hereof, such surviving provisions shall survive a termination under this subsection with respect to any such Foreign Borrower. Following receipt of such notice, no further Loans may be borrowed by such Foreign Borrower hereunder, unless such Foreign Borrower shall thereafter rejoin this Agreement as a Borrower pursuant to the joinder provisions of Section 7.1.10.

10.19 Pledge of Foreign Loan Party Loans.

(a) To secure all of the Obligations, each of the Loan Parties (other than the Foreign Loan Parties) hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in and to the following property of such Loan Party, whether now or hereafter existing, and wherever located (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”): (i) all loans and advances made by domestic Loan Parties to Foreign Loan Parties pursuant to Section 7.2.4(v)(d) (collectively, the “Pledged Loans”); (ii) all instruments, promissory notes, chattel paper, documents, certificates, securities and investment property evidencing such Pledged Loans; (iii) all Liens and other contracts securing or otherwise relating to such Pledged Loans; (iv) all books and records relating to such Pledged Loans and items of collateral described in the preceding clauses (ii) and (iii); and (v) all proceeds of such Pledged Loans and items of collateral described in the preceding clauses (ii) and (iii).

123

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing: (i) the Company, on behalf of the Loan Parties, shall promptly as practicable after the existence thereof, cause all of the Pledged Loans to be evidenced by a duly executed intercompany promissory note and deliver same to the Administrative Agent together with all other original items of Pledged Collateral of a type requiring possession by the Administrative Agent for perfection of the Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ Lien under applicable Law, duly endorsed and dated in blank, if such endorsement is necessary or customary; and (ii) the Loan Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements naming each Loan Party holding Pledged Collateral as a debtor and describing the Pledged Collateral therein. Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor with respect to the Pledged Collateral under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation the right to demand that payment of the Pledged Collateral be made directly to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, for application to the Obligations consistent with Section 8.2.5.

(c) If, after the pledge of Pledged Loans as contemplated in this Section 10.19, the Loan Parties have no outstanding loans and advances to Foreign Loan Parties and Foreign Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.2.4(v)(d), the Borrower Agent may provide to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying to such fact (including reasonable confirming calculations) and request that the Administrative Agent release such Pledged Loans. The Administrative shall thereafter effectuate such release by return of the original Pledged Collateral relating to such Pledged Loans to the Borrower Agent and amendment to any of its applicable Uniform Commercial Code financing statements. Any such release shall be limited to the specific Pledged Loans released and shall not constitute a general release of the requirements of Section 7.2.4(v)(d) and this Section 10.19, which the Loan Parties shall be required to comply with at any time thereafter that the Loan Parties have any outstanding loans or advances to Foreign Loan Parties or Foreign Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.2.4(v)(d).

SCHEDULE 5.1.6

LITIGATION

1.	Fox River – Neenah, Wisconsin

The Company has significant uncertainties associated with environmental claims arising out of the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) in sediments in the lower Fox River and in the Bay of Green Bay Wisconsin (“Site”). As part of the 1979 acquisition of the Xxxxxxxxx Paper Company, the Company acquired a facility located at the Site (the “Neenah Facility”). In part, the Neenah Facility used wastepaper as a source of fiber. At no time did the Neenah Facility utilize PCBs in the pulp and paper making process, but discharges to the lower Fox River from the Neenah Facility which may have contained PCBs from wastepaper may have occurred from 1954 to the late 1970s. Any PCBs that the Company’s Neenah Facility discharged into the lower Fox River resulted from the presence of PCBs in NCR^®-brand carbonless copy paper in the wastepaper that was recycled at the Neenah Facility. The Company closed the Neenah Facility in June 2006.

The United States, the State of Wisconsin and various state and federal governmental agencies (collectively, the “Governments”), as well as private parties, have found PCBs in sediments in the bed of the Fox River, apparently from a number of sources at municipal and industrial facilities along the upstream and downstream portions of the Site. The Governments have identified manufacturing and recycling of NCR^®-brand carbonless copy paper as the principal source of that contamination.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has divided the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay site into five “operable units” numbered from the most upstream (“OU1”) to the most downstream (“OU5”). OU1 is the river reach from the outlets of Lake Winnebago to the dam at Appleton, and is comprised of Little Lake Butte des Morts. The Company’s Neenah Facility discharged its wastewater into the upstream end of OU1. OU2 extends from the dam at Appleton to the dam at Little Rapids, OU3 from the dam at Little Rapids to the dam at De Pere, OU4 from the dam at De Pere to the mouth of the river, and OU5 from the mouth into the lower portion of Green Bay. The river extends 39 miles from the upstream end of OU1 to the downstream end of OU4.

The Company’s liabilities, if any, for this contamination primarily arise under the federal Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”). The Governments have sought to recover “response actions” or “response costs,” which are the costs of studying and cleaning up contamination, from various “potentially responsible parties” (“PRPs). In addition, various natural resource trustee agencies of the United States, the States of Wisconsin and Michigan, and several Indian Tribes (the “Natural Resources Trustees” or “Trustees”) have sought to recover natural resource damages (“NRDs”), including natural resource damage assessment costs. Parties that have incurred response costs or NRDs either voluntarily or in response to the governments’ and Trustees’ demands may have an opportunity to seek contribution or other recovery of some or all of those costs from other parties who are jointly and severally responsible under Superfund for those costs. Therefore, as the Company incurs costs, it also will acquire a claim against other parties who may not have paid their equitable share of those costs. As others incur costs, they acquire claims against the Company to the extent that they claim that the Company has not paid its equitable share of the total. Any party that resolves its liability to the United States in a judicially or administratively approved settlement agreement obtains protection from contribution claims for matters addressed in the settlement.

For these reasons, all of the PRPs under CERCLA for response costs or NRDs have exposure to liability for: (a) the cost of past response actions taken by anyone else, (b) the cost of past NRD payments or restoration projects incurred by anyone else, (c) the cost of response actions to be taken in the future, and (d) NRDs. All of this exposure is subject to substantial defenses, including, for example, that the PRP is not liable or not jointly and severally liable for any particular cost or damage, that the cost or damage is not recoverable under CERCLA or any other law, or that the recovery is barred by the passage of time. In addition, a party that has incurred or committed to incur costs or has paid NRDs may be able to claim credit for that cost or payment in any equitable allocation of response costs or NRDs in any action for reallocation of costs.

Cleanup Decisions

The Company’s liability exposure depends importantly on the decisions made by EPA and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (“WDNR”) as to how the Site will be cleaned up, and consequently the costs and timing of those response actions. The nature of the response actions has been highly controversial. EPA issued a record of decision (“ROD”) selecting response actions for OU1 and OU2 in December 2002. EPA issued a separate ROD selecting response actions for XX0, XX0, and OU5 in March 2004.

EPA amended the RODs for OUs 2-5 in June 2007 to require less dredging and more capping and covering of sediments containing PCBs. The governments have concluded that these methods will result in a reduction in the costs for this portion of the cleanup. Others disagree. Likewise, in June 2008, EPA also amended the ROD for OU1.

NRD Assessment

The Natural Resources Trustees have engaged in work to assess NRDs at and arising from the Site. However, they have not completed a required NRD Assessment under the pertinent regulations. The Trustees’ 2009 estimate of NRDs and associated costs ranges from $287 million to $423 million, some of which has already been satisfied. With specific respect to NRD claims, the Company and others contended that the Trustees’ claims are barred by the applicable 3 year statute of limitations.

Past Costs Demand

By letter dated January 15, 2009, EPA demanded that the Company and six other parties reimburse EPA for approximately $17.6 million in costs that EPA claims it incurred as necessary costs of response not subject to any other agreement in this matter. In response, the Company and the other parties which were contacted, notified the EPA that the supporting documentation provided by EPA did not allow the Company to fully evaluate this demand and the Company requested that the EPA provide additional supporting information for the claimed costs. EPA has not yet formally responded to this request. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate its potential liability for this demand for past costs.

Work Under Agreements, Orders, and Decrees

The Company’s exposure to liability depends on the amount of work done, costs incurred, and damages paid both by the Company and by others. The procedural context of any work done, costs incurred, and damages paid also impact the Company’s ultimate exposure.

Since 1991, the Governments and various groups of potentially responsible parties, including the Company, have entered into a series of agreements, orders, and decrees under which the Company and others have performed work, incurred costs, or paid damages in connection with the Site. As a result, some parties have contributed or performed substantial work at the Site and at least one party, Fort Xxxxxx Corporation (whose successor is either the Fort Xxxxx Operating Company or Georgia Pacific Corporation) has resolved its NRD liability at the Site.

Notably, in April 2004, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin entered a consent decree (“OU1 Consent Decree”) in United States v. P.H. Xxxxxxxxxx Co., No. 2:03-cv-949, under which the Company and WTM I Company have been implementing the remedy in OU1, dividing costs evenly in addition to a $7 million contribution from Menasha Corp. and a $10 million contribution that the United States contributed from a separate settlement in United States x. Xxxxxxxx Papers Inc., No. 2:01-cv-816, obligating NCR and Appleton Papers Inc. to contribute to certain NRD projects. In June 2008, the parties entered into an amendment to the OU1 Consent Decree (“Amended OU1 Consent Decree”). That amendment allowed for implementation of the amended remedy for OU1 and committed the Company and WTM I Company to implement that remedy without a cost limitation on that commitment. The Company and WTM I have substantially completed the amended remedy for OU1, although it continues to have monitoring and maintenance obligations under the Amended OUI Consent Decree.

Further, in November 2007, EPA issued an administrative order for remedial action (“UAO”) to Appleton Papers Inc., CBC Coating, Inc. (formerly known as Riverside Paper Corporation), Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products, L.P. (formerly known as Fort Xxxxx Operating Company), Menasha Corporation, XXX Xxxxxxxxxxx, the Company, U.S. Paper Xxxxx Corp., and WTM I Company directing those respondents to implement the amended remedy in OU2-5. Shortly following issuance of the UAO, Appleton Papers Inc. and NCR Corp. commenced litigation against the Company and others, as described below. Accordingly, the Company has no vehicle for complying with the UAO’s overall requirements other than answering a judgment in the litigation, and the Company has so informed EPA. However, in February 2009, the EPA sent a demand to each of the respondents on the UAO other than WTM I Company demanding payment of the government’s oversight costs under the UAO for the period from November 2007 through August 2008. This demand amounted to approximately $31,800. In February 2009, the Company notified the EPA that it believed that its demand could prove distracting to litigation commenced by Appleton Papers and NCR against the other UAO respondents. In order to remove this distraction, and in the spirit of cooperation, the Company stated that it would satisfy the EPA’s demand, an amount which was insignificant, in full. The Company paid this amount.

NRDs

The Trustees claimed that the Company was jointly and severally responsible for NRDs with a value between $176 million and $333 million. In their recently filed brief, they further claim that this range should be inflated to 2009 dollars and then certain unreimbursed past assessment costs should be added, so that the range of their claim would be $287 million to $423 million. The Company denies that is liable for NRDs related to the Site because, among other

things, the applicable statute of limitations has passed and the overwhelming majority of NRDs at the Site do not result from its alleged discharge. In addition, the Company believes that the Trustees’ quantification of the NRDs for the Site are wildly inaccurate and overstate the damages that are recoverable under applicable legal principles

Allocation

Since the mid-1990s, various potentially responsible parties have, without success, attempted to agree on a binding, final, allocation of costs and damages among themselves. All costs that they have incurred to date have been incurred individually, or under interim, nonbinding allocations. However, the consent decree in United States v. P. H. Xxxxxxxxxx Co. affords the Company and WTM I contribution protection for claims seeking to reallocate costs of implementing the OU1 remedy, and Fort Xxxxx Operating Co. (now Georgia-Pacific) has certain rights under its consent decree. Otherwise, the parties have not litigated their internal allocation with the Company except as described below.

NCR and Appleton Papers Inc. commenced litigation in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin captioned Appleton Papers Inc. v. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx Paper Co., No. 2:08-cv-16, seeking to reallocate costs and damages allegedly incurred or paid or to be incurred or paid by NCR or Appleton Papers (the “Xxxxxxx Litigation”). They have to date joined a number of defendants, dismissed some of those, filed a parallel action, and consolidated the two cases. At present, the case involves allocation claims among the two plaintiffs and 28 defendants: the Company, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx Paper Co., Menasha Corporation, Green Bay Packaging Inc., International Paper Company, Xxxxxx Transfer & Storage Company, Neenah Foundry Company, Newpage Wisconsin System Inc., The Procter & Xxxxxx Paper Products Company, Wisconsin Public Service Corp., the Cities of Appleton, De Pere, and Green Bay, Xxxxx County, Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District, Heart of the Valley Metropolitan Sewerage District, Neenah-Menasha Sewerage Commission, WTM I Company, U.S. Paper Xxxxx Corporation, Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LP, Georgia-Pacific LLC, Fort Xxxxx Operating Company, CBC Coating Company, Inc., Fort Xxxxx Corporation, Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Corporation, LaFarge North America Inc., Union Pacific Railroad Company, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers. As the result of certain third-party claims, federal agencies other than the Corps of Engineers are also involved in this allocation.

On December 16, 2009, the Court granted motions for summary judgment in the Company’s favor on the contribution claims brought by NCR and Appleton Papers Inc. in the Xxxxxxx litigation. The Court held that neither NCR nor Appleton Papers may seek contribution from the Company or other recyclers under CERCLA. The Court made no ruling as to any other allocation, the liability of NCR or Appleton Papers to the Company for costs the Company has incurred, or the Company’s liability to the governments or Trustees. NCR and Appleton Papers have stated their intention to appeal, but an appeal is not yet timely because the Court has not entered a final judgment.

As described above, the Company has counterclaims against NCR and Appleton Papers Inc. to recover the costs the Company has incurred and may later incur and the damages the Company has paid and may later pay in connection with the Fox River site. Other defendants have similar claims. On April 2, 2010, the Company and other defendants filed Motions for Summary Judgment on those counterclaims, seeking costs and a declaration that NCR and Appleton Papers Inc. are jointly and severally liable for any future response costs incurred for the remediation and cleanup of the lower Fox River as well as any NRD costs incurred in response

to the investigation and cleanup of the lower Fox River. On February 28, 2011, the Court granted in part the Motions for Summary Judgment, including the declaration as to future costs, but set a trial date in February 2012 to determine, among less significant issues, whether NCR and Appleton Papers Inc.’s actions make them liable for response costs in OU1 as “arrangers” for the disposal of hazardous substances there and whether the counterclaims against NCR and Appleton Papers Inc. should be offset by insurance recoveries that have been obtained by the various PRPs.

On December 16, 2009, the Court approved a de minimis party consent decree (“Consent Decree”) settlement among the United States, the State of Wisconsin, and eleven defendants resolving those defendants’ liability for this site. The eleven settling defendants are: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx Paper Co.; Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District; Green Bay Packaging, Inc.; Heart of the Valley Metropolitan Sewerage District; International Paper Co.; LaFarge North America Inc.; Xxxxxx Transfer and Storage Co.; Neenah Foundry Co.; Procter & Xxxxxx Paper Products Co.; Union Pacific Railroad Co.; and Wisconsin Public Service Corp. (collectively, the “Eleven Settling Defendants”). The Consent Decree reflects the conclusion by the United States and the State of Wisconsin that each of the Eleven Settling Defendants qualifies for treatment as a de minimis party under CERCLA. The Consent Decree requires the Settling Defendants to make a collective payment of $1,875,000. Those Eleven Settling Defendants have moved for judgment in the Xxxxxxx Litigation based upon the protections in the Consent Decree.

In addition, the Governments on September 25, 2009, lodged a separate consent decree in the same case that would, if entered, resolve the liabilities of the City of DePere. Under that consent decree, the City of DePere would pay $210,000 to resolve its liability at the Site. That Consent Decree has not yet been approved.

In the litigation brought by the United States and the State of Wisconsin against the UAO respondents, the plaintiff-governments have lodged a separate consent decree that would, if entered, resolve the liabilities of Xxxxx County, the City of Green Bay and certain identified federal agencies. That Consent Decree has not yet been approved.

In addition, in that same lawsuit, Appleton Papers Inc. has filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a court order that it is not directly liable to the plaintiff-governments for the claims asserted in the underlying complaint. That motion for summary judgment and the responses thereto are currently under court review

The Company contends that the Company is not jointly and severally liable for costs or damages arising from the presence of PCBs downstream of OU1. In addition, the Company contends that NCR or other sources of NCR^®-brand carbonless copy paper that the Company’s Neenah Mill recycled bear most of the responsibility for costs and damages arising from the presence of PCBs in OU1. Other parties disagree. The Company’s counterclaims for a re-allocation of costs it has incurred or may incur remain pending.

Other Information

Based in part upon the Court’s December 16, 2009 and February 28, 2011 ruling and the Court’s January 10, 2010 order in the Xxxxxxx Litigation, the Company continues to believe that a volumetric allocation would not constitute an equitable allocation of the potential liability for the contamination at the Fox River. The Company contends that other factors, such as the location of contamination, the location of discharge, and a party’s role in causing discharge, must be considered in order for the allocation to be equitable.

The Wisconsin DNR and FWS have each published studies, the latter in draft form, estimating the amount of PCBs discharged by each identified PRP’s facility to the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay. These reports estimate the Neenah Facility’s share of the volumetric discharge to be as high as 27%. The Company does not believe the volumetric estimates used in these studies are accurate because (a) the studies themselves disclose that they are not accurate and (b) the volumetric estimates contained in the studies are based on assumptions that are unsupported by existing data on the Site. The Company believes that the Neenah Facility’s volumetric contribution is significantly lower than the estimates set forth in these studies.

The Company previously entered into interim cost-sharing agreements with four of the other PRPs, including NCR and Appleton Papers Inc., which provided for those PRPs to share certain costs relating to NRD efforts and related scientific studies of PCBs discharged at the Site (“Interim Cost Sharing Agreements”). These interim cost-sharing agreements do not establish the final allocation of remediation costs incurred at the Site. Based upon the Company’s evaluation of the Court’s December 16, 2009, ruling in the Xxxxxxx Litigation as well as the volume, nature and location of the various discharges of PCBs at the Site and the relationship of those discharges to identified contamination, the Company believes its allocable share of liability at the Site is less than its share of costs under the Interim Cost Sharing Agreements. The Court is expected to address the proper allocation of these costs at the trial scheduled to begin in February 2012.

While the Amended OU1 Consent Decree provides a negotiated framework for resolving both the Company’s and WTM I’s liability for the remediation of OU1, it does not resolve the Company’s exposure at the Site. The OU1 Consent Decree does not address response costs necessary to remediate the remainder of the Site and only addresses NRDs and claims for reimbursement of government expenses to a limited extent. Because CERCLA imposes strict and often joint and several liability, uncertainty persists regarding the Company’s exposure with respect to the remainder of the Fox River site. In addition, as mentioned previously, EPA has issued a UAO to the Company and others calling for further work in OU2-5, and Appleton Papers and NCR have commenced the Xxxxxxx Litigation that may become more complicated and involve additional parties. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the Xxxxxxx Litigation or any other litigation or regulatory actions related to this matter.

Range of Reasonably Possible Outcomes

The Company’s analysis of the range of reasonably possible outcomes is derived from all available information, including but not limited to official documents such as RODs, discussions with the United States and other PRPs, as well as legal counsel and engineering consultants. Based on the Company’s analysis of the current RODs and cost estimates for work to be performed at the Site, it believes that it is reasonably possible that its liability associated with the Fox River matter may exceed the aggregate amounts which the Company has accrued for the Fox River matter by amounts that are insignificant or that could range up to $265 million over a period that is currently undeterminable but that could range beyond 15 years. The Company believes that the likelihood of an outcome in the upper end of the monetary range is significantly less than other possible outcomes within the range and that the possibility of an outcome in excess of the upper end of the monetary range is remote. The summary judgment in the Company’s favor in the Xxxxxxx Litigation, if sustained on appeal, suggests that outcomes in the upper end of the monetary range have become somewhat less probable, while increases in cost estimates for some of the work may militate in the opposite direction.

All remedial work in OU-1 has been completed. The Company and WTM I, have completed the decommissioning and performing the restoration of the staging area from which the remediation activity occurred and have submitted all required reports regarding the project some of which are currently under government review.

2.	Ecusta Environmental Matters

Beginning in April 2003, government authorities, including the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (“NCDENR”), initiated discussions with the Company and other parties regarding, among other environmental issues, certain landfill closure liabilities associated with the Company’s former Ecusta mill and its properties (the “Ecusta Property”). The discussions focused on NCDENR’s desire to establish a plan and secure financial resources to close three landfills located at the Ecusta Property and to address other environmental matters at the facility. During the third quarter of 2003, the discussions ended with NCDENR’s conclusion to hold the Company responsible for the closure of three landfills. Accordingly, in 2003 the Company established reserves totaling approximately $7.6 million representing estimated landfill closure costs. During 2009, the Company completed the closure of the last of those three landfills (collectively, the “Landfill Closure and Post-Closure Obligations”).

On January 25, 2008, the Company entered into a series of agreements with, among others, Davidson River Village, LLC (“DRV”), the current owner of the Ecusta Property pursuant to which the Company transferred potential liabilities for certain environmental matters at the Ecusta Property to DRV (the “DRV Transaction”). In connection with the DRV Transaction, DRV assumed, and indemnified the Company for, liability arising from environmental matters and conditions at the Ecusta Property with certain exceptions, including the Landfill Closure and Post-Closure Obligations and investigation and remediation (if necessary) of any pollutants that may have migrated from the Ecusta Property to the Davidson and French Broad Rivers (the “River Areas”), which liabilities were retained by the Company. The Company has completed the investigation of the River Areas, finding no pollutants of significance, and filed appropriate reports with the U.S. EPA. By letter dated October 21, 2009, EPA notified the Company that the work regarding the investigation of the River Areas was complete and that it had determined that no further action was necessary.

FORM OF

CONTINUING AGREEMENT OF GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP

This Continuing Agreement of Guaranty and Suretyship (the “Guaranty”), dated as of this ___ day of November, 2011, is jointly and severally given by each of the undersigned and each of the other Persons which become Guarantors hereunder from time to time (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”) in favor of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”) in connection with that Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November __, 2011, by and among P. H. GLATFELTER COMPANY, a Pennsylvania corporation, the other Borrowers now or hereafter party thereto (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the Guarantors now or hereafter party thereto, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders now or hereafter party thereto (the “Lenders”) (as amended, restated, modified, or supplemented from time to time hereafter, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them by the Credit Agreement and the rules of construction set forth in Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Guaranty.

1. Guaranteed Obligations. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make loans and grant other financial accommodations to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally (subject to Section 18, if applicable) unconditionally, and irrevocably, guaranties to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any provider of a Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedge or Other Lender-Provided Financial Service Product; and becomes surety, as though it was a primary obligor for, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether on demand, at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise and including any amounts which would become due but for the operation of an automatic stay under the federal bankruptcy code of the United States or any similar laws of any country or jurisdiction) of all Obligations, and all extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals thereof, whether such Obligations are direct or indirect, secured or unsecured, joint or several, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, whether for payment or performance, now existing or hereafter arising (and including Obligations arising or accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding with respect to the Borrower or any Guarantor or which would have arisen or accrued but for the commencement of such proceeding, even if the claim for such Obligation is not enforceable or allowable in such proceeding, and including all Obligations arising from any extensions of credit under or in connection with the Loan Documents from time to time, regardless whether any such Obligations are in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents or are made in circumstances in which any condition to extension of credit is not satisfied) (all such Obligations are referred to, collectively, as the “Guaranteed Obligations” and each as a “Guaranteed Obligation”). Without limitation of the foregoing, any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be and remain Guaranteed Obligations entitled to the benefit of this Guaranty if the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders (or any one or more assignees or transferees thereof) from time to time assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, or any other Guaranteed Obligations, to any other Person, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Guarantor jointly and severally (subject to Section 18, if applicable) agrees as follows.

2. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby promises to pay and perform all such Guaranteed Obligations immediately upon demand of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any one or more of them at maturity or upon an Event of Default. All payments made hereunder shall be made by each Guarantor in immediately available funds in United States Dollars and shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, withholding, or other deduction of any nature, except as may otherwise be required by Law.

3. Obligations Absolute. The Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by the failure, default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise, by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any Borrower or any other obligor on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which would vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby consents to, at any time and from time to time, and the joint and several (subject to Section 18, if applicable) Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be diminished, terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by any of the following:

(a) Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability or allowability (in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations and to the fullest extent of the law regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other Person with respect thereto;

(b) Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of, or any release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settlement of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted); any change in the time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or any amendment, modification or supplement to, or refinancing or refunding of, any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(c) Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents, or in circumstances in which any condition to such extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non-exercise, or any other failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or non-exercise, of any right or remedy against any Borrower or any other Person under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any refusal of payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not with any reservation of rights against any Guarantor; or any application of collections (including but not limited to collections resulting from realization upon any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations) to other obligations, if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty,

- 2 -

in preference to Guaranteed Obligations entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty, or if any collections are applied to Guaranteed Obligations, any application to particular Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, waiver, supplement, termination, subordination, compromise, release, surrender, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights, or remedies under or in connection with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by any of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. As used in this Guaranty, “direct or indirect security” for the Guaranteed Obligations, and similar phrases, includes any collateral security, guaranty, suretyship, letter of credit, capital maintenance agreement, put option, subordination agreement, or other right or arrangement of any nature providing direct or indirect assurance of payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, made by or on behalf of any Person;

(e) Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of, any Borrower or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Person; or any action taken or election made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited to any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code), any Borrower, or any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;

(f) Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or any discharge by operation of law or release of any Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(g) Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the liability of, any Guarantor, a guarantor or a surety, excepting only full, strict, and indefeasible payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations in full.

Each Guarantor acknowledges, consents, and agrees that new Guarantors may join in this Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.1.10 of the Credit Agreement and each Guarantor affirms that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall continue undiminished.

4. Waivers, etc. Subject to Section 18, if applicable, each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in Section 3 hereof. Without limitation and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives each of the following:

- 3 -

(a) All notices, disclosures and demand of any nature which otherwise might be required from time to time to preserve intact any rights against any Guarantor, including the following: any notice of any event or circumstance described in Section 3 hereof; any notice required by any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Guaranteed Obligation; any notice of any default or any failure on the part of any Borrower or any other Person to comply with any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; and any notice of any information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Borrower or any other Person;

(b) Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against any Borrower or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or to the exercise against any Borrower or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that any Guarantor receive notice of any such acceptance;

(c) Any defense or other right arising by reason of any law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including, but not limited to, anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited to commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of collateral security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, to seek a deficiency against any Borrower or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Guaranteed Obligations; and

(d) Any and all defenses it may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like.

5. Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Guarantors and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that no Guaranteed Obligations may be outstanding from time to time. Upon termination of all Commitments, the expiration of all Letters of Credit and indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than non-assessed contingent reimbursement obligations), this Guaranty shall terminate; provided, however, that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded, recouped, avoided, or must otherwise be returned or released by any Lender or Administrative Agent upon or during the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of, or any similar proceeding affecting, any

- 4 -

Borrower or for any other reason whatsoever, all as though such payment had not been made and was due and owing.

6. Subrogation. Each Guarantor waives and agrees it will not exercise any rights against any Borrower or any other Guarantor arising in connection with, or any collateral securing, the Guaranteed Obligations (including rights of subrogation, contribution, and the like) until the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, and all Commitments have been terminated and all Letters of Credit have expired. If, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Guarantor by virtue of any right of subrogation, contribution, or the like, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and shall be held in trust for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

7. No Stay. If any declaration of default or acceleration or other exercise or condition to exercise of rights or remedies under or with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation shall at any time be stayed, enjoined, or prevented for any reason (including, but not limited to, stay or injunction resulting from the pendency against any Borrower or any other Person of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding), the Guarantors agree that, for the purposes of this Guaranty and their Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to have been declared in default or accelerated, and such other exercise or conditions to exercise shall be deemed to have been taken or met.

8. Taxes. Each Guarantor agrees to comply with Section 4.7 of the Credit Agreement as applied to such Guarantor and the Guaranteed Obligations.

9. Notices. Each Guarantor agrees that all notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications under this Guaranty shall be given to such Guarantor at the address set forth on a Schedule to, or in a Guarantor Joinder and Assumption Agreement given under, the Credit Agreement and in the manner provided in Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely on any notice (whether or not made in a manner contemplated by this Guaranty) purportedly made by or on behalf of a Guarantor, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the identity or authority of the Person giving such notice.

10. Counterparts; Telecopy Signatures. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy transmission to Administrative Agent or any Lender of signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Guarantor shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Guarantor.

11. Setoff, Default Payments by Borrowers.

12. Construction. The section and other headings contained in this Guaranty are for reference purposes only and shall not affect interpretation of this Guaranty in any respect. This Guaranty has been fully negotiated between the applicable parties, each party having the benefit of legal counsel, and accordingly neither any doctrine of construction of guaranties or suretyships in favor of the guarantor or surety, nor any doctrine of construction of ambiguities in agreement or instruments against the party controlling the drafting thereof, shall apply to this Guaranty.

13. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, and their successors and permitted assigns provided, however, that no Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them (and any successive assignee or transferee), from time to time may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights or obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents (including all or any portion of any commitment to extend credit), or any other Guaranteed Obligations, to any other person and such Guaranteed Obligations (including any Guaranteed Obligations resulting from extension of credit by such other Person under or in connection with the Loan Documents) shall be and remain Guaranteed Obligations entitled to the benefit of this Guaranty, and to the extent of its interest in such Guaranteed Obligations such other Person shall be vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in this Guaranty or otherwise.

- 6 -

personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process be made by certified or registered mail directed to any Borrower at the address provided for in the Credit Agreement and service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon actual receipt thereof. Each Guarantor waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted against it as provided herein and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue.

Each Guarantor hereby appoints a process agent, P. H. Glatfelter Company, as its agent to receive on behalf of such party and its respective property, service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding (the “Process Agent”). Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to any of the Guarantors in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address, and each of the Guarantors hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to receive such service on its behalf. Each Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions (or any political subdivision thereof) by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each Guarantor further agrees that it shall, for so long as any Commitment, Letter of Credit or any Obligation of any Loan Party to the Lenders remains outstanding, continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this Section 14. The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of Process Agent by the Guarantors and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Guarantors. The Process Agent has an address of, on the date hereof, that of P. H. Glatfelter Company as reflected in the Credit Agreement.

(ii) WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

15. Severability; Modification to Conform to Law.

(a) It is the intention of the parties that this Guaranty be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, but that the unenforceability (or modification to conform to such law) of any provision or provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder hereof. If any provision in this Guaranty shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, this Guaranty shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or provisions in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be

- 7 -

limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Proceeding in the Credit Agreement or Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere in this Guaranty, this Guaranty shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to its full extent in accordance with its terms, as if this Section (and references elsewhere in this Guaranty to enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by law) were not a part of this Guaranty, and in any related litigation the burden of proof shall be on the party asserting the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof or asserting any limitation on any Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations hereunder as to each element of such assertion.

16. Additional Guarantors. At any time after the initial execution and delivery of this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, additional Persons may become parties to this Guaranty and thereby acquire the duties and rights of being Guarantors hereunder by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Guarantor Joinder and Assumption Agreement pursuant to the Credit Agreement. No notice of the addition of any Guarantor shall be required to be given to any pre-existing Guarantor and each Guarantor hereby consents thereto.

17. Joint and Several Obligations. Subject to Section 18 hereof, if applicable, the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors, and each Guarantor hereby waives to the full extent permitted by law any defense it may otherwise have to the payment and performance of the Obligations that its liability hereunder is limited and not joint and several. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers and those set forth below serve as a material inducement to the agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make the Loans, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on each specific waiver and all such waivers in entering into this Guaranty. The undertakings of each Guarantor hereunder secure the Guaranteed Obligations of itself and the other Guarantors. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, may, in their sole discretion, elect to enforce this Guaranty against any Guarantor without any duty or responsibility to pursue any other Guarantor and such an election by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall not be a defense to any action the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, may elect to take against any Guarantor. Each of the Lenders and Administrative Agent hereby reserve all right against each Guarantor.

18. Obligations of Foreign Guarantors.

- 8 -

(a) Notwithstanding the joint and several liability of the Guarantors organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (each, a “Foreign Guarantor”) under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, all Guaranteed Obligations of each Foreign Guarantor under this Guaranty and any other Loan Documents on account of principal and interest under the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and Letters of Credit Borrowings shall be limited to the principal amount advanced to such Foreign Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and reimbursement of draws under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and, in each case, interest thereon. Each Foreign Guarantor shall be liable only for its pro rata share of all fees and expenses and other sums due hereunder (other than principal and interest on the Loans) based upon the ratio of the sum of Loans outstanding to and Letters of Credit issued for such Foreign Guarantor to the total amount of Loans outstanding and Letters of Credit issued hereunder.

(b) Any Foreign Guarantor may from time to time deliver a termination notice to the Administrative Agent requesting that it no longer be a party to this Guaranty. Such termination shall be effective two Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent so long as all Guaranteed Obligations for which such Foreign Guarantor is liable pursuant to Section 18(a) above have been paid in full (including principal, interest and other amounts) and no Letter of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such Foreign Guarantor is outstanding; provided that, to the extent this Guaranty provides for the survival of certain provisions upon termination hereof, such surviving provisions shall survive a termination under this subsection with respect to any such Foreign Guarantor.

19. Receipt of Credit Agreement, Other Loan Documents, Benefits.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Guarantor certifies that the representations and warranties made therein with respect to such Guarantor are true and correct. Further, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees to perform, comply with, and be bound by all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges, represents, and warrants that it receives synergistic benefits by virtue of its affiliation with Borrowers and the other Guarantors and that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that such benefits, together with the rights of contribution and subrogation that may arise in connection herewith are a reasonably equivalent exchange of value in return for providing this Guaranty.

20. Miscellaneous. (a) Generality of Certain Terms. As used in this Guaranty, the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and terms of similar import refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular term or provision; the term “including,” as used herein, is not a term of limitation and means “including without limitation.” (b) Amendments, Waivers. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless in a writing manually signed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in

- 9 -

the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, in exercising any right or remedy under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available hereunder, under any other agreement or instrument, by law, or otherwise. (c) Telecommunications. Each Lender and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any individual making any facsimile or telephonic notice, request, or signature without the necessity of receipt of any verification thereof. (d) Expenses. Subject to Section 18, if applicable, each Guarantor unconditionally agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor and each Guarantor shall pay and indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel, but excluding taxes) which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, arising out of this Guaranty or any document, instrument or agreement relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, other than as a sole result of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the wrongful dishonor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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. (e) Prior Understandings. This Guaranty and the Credit Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all other prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements. (f) Survival. All representations and warranties of the Guarantors made in connection with this Guaranty shall survive, and shall not be waived by, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, any investigation by or knowledge of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, any extension of credit, or any other event or circumstance whatsoever.
